Take MyWord for 1t
By Fronk Colby
Words to Watch.

Overheard on the radio Fibber
McGee): " some magic and
kun-JOOR tricks for my act at the
Elks' Club" The word conjure was
used correctly; but the pronuncia.
ton "kun-JOOR" was erroneous,
deliberately so, think, for comedy
effect. The word conjure has two
meanings and two pronunciations:
% To appeal to solemnly; to en-.
treat or implore. The pronuncia-
tion is: kun -JOOR. ca To summon
devil or spirit; to practice black
magic; to practice magical arts. The
pronunciation Is: KUN-jer; also.
but less frequently: KON-jer.
Overheard on q garden club pro-
gram: SO the book contains many
valuable hints for the lsor-ti-cul-
tur-a -al-ist.' There Is no such word.
A person who practices horticulture
! e(cultivation of a garden or orchard)
is a hor-ti-cul-tur- pronounced:
HAWR- -t-KULLic ichur-ist. Likewise,
be sure you do not add an extra
syllable to ag-ri-cul-tur-ist mot
"agri-cul- cul-tur-al-isto. Say: AG-ri-
KUILrchur-
Overheard at luncheon club:
"The seasons are reversed; 1t Is now
summer below the EE-kway-ter."
No; the word equator should not be
accented on the first syllable al
though it often is. Place the accent
on the second syllable: ee-KWAY.
ter.
/ Overheard on q Town Meeting
program: az =" except in the case Of
an attack on the United States"
Note two things about the word
attack: Cd In the present tense 1t
should have no final "t' sound. Be
sure to say: uh-TACK. (2) In the
past tense-attacked-do not give 1t
a three-syllable pronunciation. as
"uh-TACK-t ted" The word at
tackled has two syllables only. thus:
uh-TACKT.
A similar mistake is the pronunci-
alton "DROWN-ded" for the word
drowned. The correct pronuncia-
ton for the past tense is drownd.
Mrs. C. L. F., of Beaver Falls, has
heard the word brigand accented on
the second syllable. 1T is correct?"
she asks. No; accent the first
syllable, thus: BRIG-und.
If you have ditacuIty in co9strusti1nHs
will help you. Entitled THE Parts Of
Speech the leafet explains In simple
terms the way to classify each word into
one of the eight divisions.

A Critic Produces a Play
And Gassner, as Reviewer, Regarded 1t
as Fragile and Bit Dull
Rv Irrk 0'Rvnn
By Jock o'Brion

drama, but vastly different from
American style. Gassner empha-
sized the difference in values here,
where a frantic pace, noisiness,
gangsters and other values are more
popular in melodrama. In England,
he said, where the pace is leisurely
such restrained implications in a
play have deeper Importance.
Drop a dish in quiet surround
ings and 1t is a jarring, startling
incident" he said in analogy. But
drop the same dish in the boiler
factory we live in and no one pays
attention"
I wondered mostly, I said, what
Gassner the critic thought of Min
ME and Mr.. Williams" and what he
would have said had he been sent
to assemble a detached and imper-
sonal review of the production.
I'm afraid I'd have given it an
unfavorable review myself" he said.
Il think I would have stated I'M
hesitatingly that 1t has more origi-
nality and more dramatic meat in 1t
than most Broadway plays. but it
would not have kept me from ap-
praising it as too dull and frail for
Broadway success.
Il do not. however, think I would
have ignored the distinguished writ
ing, nor the satire implicit in the
play, but certainly could not have
Iprophesied success for 1t.
unfortunately. this was apparent
to me only at the opening night
Right up until then, I'd hoped for
a hit. But as soon as the curtain
went down knew we had q failure.
I was critic enough not to fool my
self on that account"
Gassner said he was amazed"
at several OF the critics who didn't
seem to understand the play at all +"
And not only that, but several
even seemed belligerently intent on
not giving a hoot about understand
ing it,"
Is Gassner sorry he produced
Minnie and Mr.. Williams?"
Not at all" he said. II feel the
same as Josephine Hull when she
said on closing night: I'd rather be
IN failure like this than an ordi-
nary play which has a profitable
run"
