American Voices Sound Like Tin Whistles, British Claim By Joan Younger United Press Correspondent New York, Dec. 28 (U.R) The British' member of parlia ment who said American voices sound like tin whistles had bet ter watch out, Theodora Lynch, movie singer, warned today, be cause Hollywood Is going to let off a blast in his ear. "Why, an American woman's voice sounds like a well-played harp compared to that mouse squeak British accent," Miss Lynch said in a train-side inter view. "We're going to tell the Limey off and in our best tin whistle American, too." The controversy over the American voice as heard via the talking pictures and a Brit ish voice flared up in parliament recently when MaJ. Henry A Proctor, asserted that "the Eng lish voice sounds like a flute, and the American voice like a tin whistle." . "If he had . said fluke' he would have come closer to the truth," Miss Lynch said. She added that, headed by Irish Charles Bickford, a group of Hollywoodites were "working up an answer." In the group, JACKSON COUNTY FARM NOTES Compiled' by County Office 0. S. C Extension Service she said, were Ellen Drew, a vaguely related member of the famous British stage family; Jane Russell, whose voice has as' yet gone unheard although her sweaters are pin-up famous, and Lauren Bacall, described fre quently as the girl with the fog horn voice. Miss Lynch said that further attributes of the American voice included a "minor detail you can understand it." When she was in England, she said, she practically had to hire an interpreter. "They talk like they've just bitten into a peanut butter sand wich," she said. "Americans may speak a little noisily at times but you can at least get what they're saying." Bickford, Miss Lynch said, was "good and sore" and felt the whole thing was "nothing but a commercial proposition." "The British want to keep Hollywood pictures out of Eng land," she said. They want to build their own pictures up. Well,, actions speak louder than words Hollywood has thou sands of fans in England, and they aren't complaining."
