Read Bible, Sha
Aloud as Speec
Suggests Forme
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY
United Press, Correspondent
New York (U.R) The
greatest addition to the family
fireside, Helen Menken believes,
would be regular evenings spent
reading aloud from the Bible and
from Shakespeare's plays.
Miss Menken is a former act
ress whose parents were deaf
mutes. She went on the stage in
the early 1900's as Pease-Blossom
in "Midsummer Night's
Dream" at an age when other
children were in nursery school.
She's not one of those actresses
who thinks everyone shpuld
speak with the slurrifig R's and
the broad A used on the stage,
but she thinks parents bear a
lot of blame for sloppy speech
habits in their children.
."Children learn by image and
they learn by ear," Miss Men
ken, now retired from the stage
and the wife of George N. Rich
ard, explained.
Cites Carelessness
"We're careless with ceremony
in families, simple acts like say
ing 'Thank You' or introducing
a guest properly. The careless
ness carries over into the way
we speak and the children pick
up habits that often can be se
rious handicaps."
After her own childhood,
when she learned to communi
cate with her parents by sign
language before she learned to
Around Hollywood
Hollywood (U.R) One or the
tightest Oscar races in years is
under way today, thanks to a
composer who stubbornly in
sisted a whis
tle is a song.
The tune,
"Tlie High and
the Mighty,"
recently was
ruled out of
the Oscar race
because it was
whistled by
John Wayne
and not sung
.Aline Moeb in the film of
the same title. This left "Three
Coins in the Fountain," another
top hit from a film score, a sure
fire winner for the Academy
honors.
But Dimitri Tiomkin, com
poser of the rejected tune,
launched a stiff battle with cries
of "jealousy!" in his undecip
herable accent.
. Tiomkin appealed to Wayne
and Warner Studio, and the ly
rics of "The High and the
Mighty" were dubbed hurried
ly onto, the sound track so the
song would be eligible for the
Oscar derby.
Wanls Fair PJay
"I really don't care that much
about winning," the triumphant
Tiomkin said today, "but I just

speak, Miss Menken is firmly
convinced that cfiildren learn
quickly once they are exposed to
.correct speech. Her first stage
V fti. - 1 T 1
pari required ner 10 ao more
pantomine than speaking but the
others in the cast taught her cor
rect speech.
"John Drew used to give me
a list of 25 new words every
day to learn to use," she recall
ed. Would Serve Several Aims
Miss Menken, whose own voice
is pleasantly low but unaffected,
said the family reading sessions
would serve several purposes.
"If a child is told at school
thst he needs speech and diction
lessons, his parents probably
need the lessons too," she said.
"Yet I'm so afraid when people
starting taking speech and dic
tion they will become affected.
Don't let's take away the natural
ness. A regional accent can be
charming, if the voice is pleasant
and the speech is clear.
"If each member of the fam
ily takes a turn at reading aloud,
choosing a favorite scene from
a play or a familiar chapter
from the Bible, and reads the
words for appreciation of the
thoughts then everyone can
benefit.
"So much that we read and
hear every day goes back to the
Bible or to a Shakespeare play,
that it is invaluable to become
familiar with both."

like to see fair play. The music
branch of the Academy insisted
the song was theme.' It was not
theme! It was written as a song
and the Ned Washington lyrics
originally were in the picture.
But the director had a good shot
of an airplane in the sky so
they cut out the lyrics.
"I think the music division of
the Academy might have been
a little jealous," he . continued.
"After all, a song that was cut
out of A Star is Born' was de
clared eligible." o
Although Tiomkin modestly
refuses to admit it. it was his
"High Noon" from the picture of
the same title that started the
recent trend of hit tunes from
dramatic film background
scores instead of musicals. Tiom
kin won an Oscar for that num
ber and ever since has been
swamped with offers to write
film scores that may wind up on
the hit parade.
"Studios using strange meth
ods bringing tickets to boxoff
ice," mused the composed. "Fox
using Marilyn Monroe. Other
studios want songs."
Another Hit
o Tiomkin's "Return to Para
dise" theme was another hit,
although his "Blowing Wild"
title song missed, to his surprise.
He recently penned a title tune
for a Greer Gar son western,
"Strange Lady in Town," that
he pridicts will be a juke-box
favorite. He also is writing
background music for "Land of
the Pharaohs."
"Some day I would like to
write an entire musical." hp saiVL
"Most critics are knocking
me. Sure, I would like to do
high-pollutin' stuff. But movie
songs have to be commercial, a
little bit corny and hamy:
"I do the best I can. Why,
when I first came to Hollywood
a producer told me. 'Darline.
don't put minor chords behind
the main titles the theater
owners don't like sad music at
the beginning of picture!"
