I took her hand and we walked together time and agair until site loat her self-vonscioua-ness. Pauline Moore had to overcome a baby-hke voice. Habitual Faults Habitual faults among newcomers are incorrect walk, dialect, faulty voice projection, impropet u»" of small objects such as tea cups, cigarets. matches, books, telephones Practice these with I vour friends as constructive critics. You'll be surprised how many faults you'll uncover. Walking is continually falling forward and putting your foot ahead to stop the fall. Don't try to walk a line. It is unnatural and each step throws your body out of graceful balance. Learn to stand properly by holding your hands slightly behind your hips, your head up and chin I in. If you do this, your shoulders naturally fall in line. Your feet should be from two to three Inches apart at the heels, with toes pointed slightly outward. In walking, your weight should be on the toes Instead of the heels—otherwise you are not falling forward, but are fighting yourself at each step, which Is awkward. Most people—like Arken Whelan did at first - form the sounds at the back of the throat instead of the front of the mouth. It means that they fai' to take advantage I of the nature sounding box that nature has provided. Vocal Practice Thia can be overcome by relaxing the jaw muscles. Relax the jaw to say "O” without pursing or otherwise trying to shape the lipa. Projecting the voice to the front of the mouth can be practiced by keeping the lips tightly together and making the sound of "M" so the lipa vibrate slightly. Drama students start out by learning to use small props gracefully. Get your friends to watch you and criticise. There Is only one mechanical device I ever use in training a student for a screen test—a book; but I do not use it on the head to teach walking (this unnecessarily develops the neck muscles). I use the book or a purse to raise a drooped shoulder by placing it snugly tinder the arm ot the low shoulder. In time, the accompanying muscle reaction will bring about the desired leveling effect. All the youngsters who came to us inexperienced, and who are now successful ’ actresses, have vivid memories of these outines. NEXT — A Famous Animal Trainer Tells His Problems.

The questioner explain* that *he ha* to keep coeoa on hand for the children—and it would be a lot easier for her if she could u»o it for making cake*, too, instead of having to buy the regular chocolate. We explain that cocoa may be substituted for chocolate by using 3 level tablespoon* of rich cocoa plus H tablespoon of butter for each square of chocolate. This may be done if one ia determined to make the substitution. However, we do feel that it’* questionable business tampering with any recipe once it ha* been perfected. You’re not likely to achieve exactly the aame product you’d get if you had used the ingred ent* exactly a* specified. So. why not use a chocolate cake reelpe which actually does call for cocoa in the first place T Oh, yes, indeed! There are such recipe*. And they ar* uncommonly good, too.
