respond better to the more expert
enced folk-tale expert.
| Judging from the audience re-
action of boys and girls at st. Johns
Orphanage and the Christ Child
Society, children still like adventure
stories best, with ghost and mystery
tales running close second. Young
adults like humor, anecdote, ro-
nance and adventure, while the
older people prefer the historical
narrative.
Song tests also accompany many
of the story sessions. League men,
bers have discovered music pro-
vides a good setting for story
and lends variety to the program.
Older people like to sing hymns
and younger people prefer the gay,
lifting rhythms of folk tunes and
dances.
Holiday Programs
Special holiday programs are also
planned by the league. The Grip
pied children at Gallinger Hospital
were surprised yesterday AFTERNOON
when, along with stories about the
Easter bunny, they received candy
Easter eggs from their storyteller
friends. An Easter story program
was also presented earlier in the
week at the Swartzeu Home for the
Aged, at 6200 Second place NV.
League members are constantly
trying to improve themselves. Miss
Dashiell is leader of a workshop held
once a month at Mount Vernon
Place Methodist Church, where
members and prospective members
meet for discussion of storytelling
techniques. The league also holds
regular monthly meetings at the
YWCA to rehearse stories to be told
-during the coming month. The next
meeting will be held Saturday
night with stories of Louisiana and
the Mississippi River as the theme
for the evening.
The Washington league, now
headed by Miss Edith Allnutt, was
originally called the Washington
Storytellers' League, but shortened
its name when the public thought
it was an offshoot of the Liars Club.
1t is a member of the Eastern Dis
trict of the National Story League.
Many members of the local league
plan to attend the national conven-
ton which will be held in Septem-
ber in Knoxville, Tenn, where the
national league was founded As
wears ago.
Evening star., 1948-03-28

cCl fANCSs
The league was founded in 1888
by Miss Mary Ellen Dashiell, men,
Der of the National Story League,
WHO interested a group of friends in
the idea of providing a program of
storytelling for orphanges and local
homes for shut-ins.
The response was enthusiastic and
members will tell you that the job
is a reward in itself-one worth all
the inconvenience of travelling to
distant parts of the city, often late
at night. Many of the women
work during the day and it is not
unusual for them to change their
personal plans in order to keep a
date to tell story.
Storytelling is not a simple art.
Some have the gift for it and others
with imagination can learn, with
training, how to charm an audience.
But there is no room for mediocre
storyteller," Miss Dashiel main
tains.
Requires Special Ability
It is the ability to make words
come to life that sets the real story
teller apart, according to Mrs. Cut
Ter Cannon, a member of the league.
II he can momentarily change a
little room in settlement house into
a vast prairie or woodland, or trans
form the shadow of a drab existence
into the sunshine of fantasy, he has
accomplished more than just enter
tainment.
The league maps out its entire
years program at the beginning of
lts season. One central theme is
generally selected to help members
learn new stories and practice their
technique. They are not unlike
actors in this respect as they must
practice their art in rehearsal This
is where the comparison ends, how
ever. A storyteller does not drama
the his story for he must do nothing
to distract his audiences attention
The voice itself must lend color.
action and excitement. through tone
and infection. League members
agree this is the secret of the spell
binding effect of a good story well
told.
A storyteller must he a psycholo-
gist as well. He must know how to
adapt himself to varying levels of
understanding and when to cut
story, if interest flags. Particularly

Prices were mostly fractions lower

held to gains Of less than q point.
The volume of trading was re-
stricted, and 1t was noted that ac-
tivity perked up a bit in lower move
ments and dried up when prices
turned around and headed higher.
Among the major groups, the rails
were the most active and irregu-
larly lower. Motion pictures en-
1oyed a measure of popularity and
held steady.
Airlines, although not particularly
active, were alomst all higher. Steels
and motors, on the other hand, took
the downside in a listless manner.
Higher for the most part were
