Miss Gullan Brings New Speech Idea Says Her Dislike for Elocution Inspired Changed Style. BY BEATRICE BURGAN Society Editor Miss Marjorie Gullan, speech fellowship and institute chairman of London, has definite ideas on “elocution” lessons, often the Saturday morning bane of existence to spirited children, who would prefer being in the neighborhood vacant Jot playing "Iniun.’’

She definitely opposes these “stunts” (as she calls them) because to her way of thinking they do nothing more than develop the display side of a character. Miss Gullan, nccompa n i e and by Miss Gertrude Kerby, the institute’s ho n orary general secretary, this week is to ap-

pear in a series of lectures and clinics on choral speaking and voice technique sponsored by Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music. The first was yesterday afternoon in North M. E. Church. Miss Gullan, who engaged in speech work in her native land. Scotland, finally reached a point in her development where she felt she could not endure any more elocution and tiie inconsequential material she believed was being interpreted. Music Showed Way She had an appreciation for music, even though she had no particular knowledge of its technique. “It always has seemed to me that through music I knew what I wanted poetry to be,” she said as we chatted over our demi-tasse cups before she kept her lecture appointment yesterday. “You know my country has a tradition of delightful ballads, and after Dr. John Masefield suggested to me that my students’ voices should be trained to speak in unison, it struck me that choral speaking of the ballads would be a delightful wav to keep them alive. I believed that If we could join poetry and music, speaking of poetry would become an art ” That is exactly what Miss Gullan has done. Through corporate expression of real literature has resulted not only valuable interpretation but sound training in speech and voice technique. The rapid spread of her technique in Scotland, all of Great Britain, the United States and Canada proves that her system has provided a means of self-expression, an understanding of fine literature and greater ability and power for the single speaker’s voice. Introduced at Glasgow The Glasgow musical festival was perfect setting for the introduction of Miss Guilan's choral speaking class. , Insp 4 red by the success of the Glasgow verse speaking choir in 1P22, Dr. Gordon Bottomley began to write choric verse plays. This new material for the choral speaking of dramatic verse gave impetus to the movement. In 1927 Miss Gullan and Miss Kerby founded the “Verse Speaking Choir Fellowship.” Miss Ada Bicking of the conservatory first became interested in Miss Guilan’s enterprise during her first tour of America in 1933. Miss Gullan came here from Columbia University where she completed a course of instruction. Miss Gullan feels that poetry can be more than a thing of boredom to children, if they learn the beauty of words and the rhythm of expressing them. Choral speaking exponents insist that “expressiveness is enhanced and carrying power and intelligibility are magnified.” Grouping is as in a singing choir, the light or higher voices in one group and the dark or lower voices in another. Miss Guilan's method is not new to Indianapolis. Washington High School pupils have been successful in their application of her technique. Miss Faye Henley, who studied in England and observed Miss Guilan's work. ha.i promoted such expression.

MacDonald’s 2 Daughters in Spotlight Ishbel Now Runs British Inn —Sheila Succeeds Sister at Home. BY MILTON BRONNER LONDON, Jan. 13—(NEA)—It's the distaff side of Ramsay MacDonald’s family that takes the news spotlight these days, now that the venerable former prime minister, defeated in the last election, has retired to the comparative obscurity of lord president of the council. And Ishbel, in particular, is the center of attention because of her spectacular success as the proprie-tor-hostess of historic Ye Old PlowInn at High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire, which she has just taken over. So widespread has been the interest in the inn that traffic jams have developed on nearby roads. Among her customers have been the notables of official business life, for Ye Old Plow Inn is only a short drive from Chequers, country home of Britain's prime ministers. And even United States Ambassador Bingham, when a guest at Chequers, has paid his respects there. Sheila Becomes Dad’s Hostess Through her sister’s business adventure, Sheila, youngest of the MacDonald clan, becomes the hostess of her father’s home, succeeding to the post that Ishbel filled so well in the days when they lived at No. 10 Downing-st. All of MacDonald’s children keep busy, for idleness is not a family trait. His son. Malcolm MacDonald, is minister for the dominions in the new cabinet. His other son, Alistair, is already established as a rising architect. One of his daughters, Joan, is wife of a successful Scotch doctor. , Miss Ishbel, eldest of the girls, is one who is never idle and nobody ever imagined she would be content merely to run her father’s house. Good looking, well poised, fond of the wide open spaces and yet at the same time, bookish, she for years was the intimate pal of her distinguished father. Caught Queen’s Fancy When he became premier, she just naturally became the chatelaine of No. 10 Dow ? ning-st, where the head of the government lives. Just as naturally she socn met the cn sen and that famous and stern •’ age of character took to her at ;e. .shbel’s modesty, her abstention from rouge and lipstick and cocktails, her perfect taste and tact appealed to Queen Mary, who pronounced her “a very charming girl.” As hostess of No. 10 she entertained statesmen, diplomats and princes. She has traveled both in the United States and Canada After her visit in 1927, Canada named one of the Rockies Mount Ishbel. She has been entertained by two presidential couples—the Hoovers and the Franklin Roosevelts. At times she has been busy denying rumors of engagements to wed. Mistaken As Suitors Once it was mistakingly said the lucky man was Lord Arnold. Another time it was Professor King Gordon, son of Rev. C. W. Gordon of Canada, who is world famous as the author, Ralph Connor. One of her main ideas in buying the famous okl Buckinghamshire Inn (which dates back to 1621, is mentioned in Pepys Diary and was once patronized by King Charles II), is that it will enable her to give employment to some of the personal servants her father had when they lived at No. 10 Downing-st. Miss Sheila—pretty, dancing-eyed, dimpled, 24-year-old Sheila—laughingly says she will not be a partner in the inn. She expects to be a custofner. Also she will probably run the paternal house in Hampstead. Going from the North London Collegiate School to Somerville College, Oxford University, she proved herself equally nifty with books and in sports.

MY DAY By Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt

N EW YORK.—Having left Washington on the midnight train after the judicial reception, I found myself back in New York again in the morning, and I ate my breakfast alone quite peacefully. I had come to attend a meeting of the Chi Omega achievement award committee.

This committee awards a prize every year to the woman who is outstanding in some field. Cecelia Beaux, Frances Perkins and Josephine Roche, already have received this award. In June, an award will be made at the society's convention when it meets at White Sulphur Springs. Accidents and colds have somewhat reduced the number of our committee but recommendations were in, and we were able to do our work and then have a pleasant hour of chat over our luncheon. After that I started on a round of visits—my husbands mother and his aunt, Mrs. Franklin K. Lane, an old friend. Finally I picked up one of my friends and started to walk downtown via First-av. We went pretty fast, but I was occasionally amused to

see a light of recognition in someone's eyes as we walked past. Three workmen going home from work and gazing idly at passersby suddenly gave me a fixed stare, one of them said, “That’s her.” I gathered that this meant that he had decided that either my companion, or I, was a familiar sight and did not require any further designation! Home again and a quiet tea and a long talk with Miss Helen Ferris, of the Junior Literary Guild, about children's books. She left one with me to read and it promises to be a most delightful story for any older child or parents. In the evening. Mrs. Morgenthau Jr. and I went to see “Libel.” It is remarkable that a court scene can sustain interest right through three acts, but it certainly does, and is well acted. We both enjoyed it very much, but were a little disappointed in the ending.
