As a Woman Sees It English Are Frank To a Degree of Insult Elizabeth Reller, in a letter to family," promises not to greet theme upon her return from England with a "cheerio, family, old thing!" or any other "silly" expression which she has learned in the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London where she is a student. Elizabeth, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Will Reller, who has been in London for three months, makes interesting comments on the "jolly auld" English customs and language in a recent letter mailed to the "Reller family." "Three short months ago," she gins, "I sailed from America with only vague ideas of what I should find in England. Now, after this temporary residence, I have had the opportunity of fixing quite firmly in my mind a number of impressions of English life which to you as a family I shall disclose. If I were giving the country and its inmates a general grade I would set it very high. To begin with, I have found the English a group of very 'kind and hospitable people, extremely curious, outspoken, frank ton degree of insult at times, but at heart truly genuine and sympathetic.

They are as individuals, difficult to know I have found, because they keep their own feelings and thoughts very well suppressed. An Englishman will question you thoroughly about yourself, but at the same time he will guard well his own history. They admittedly pride themselves on their seeming disinterest, or what appears to a stranger as boredom; which is, in reality, this very effort not to show what they feel." Londoners Cling To Old Customs "Most English I have met," Elizabeth continues, "are well content with England and the continent, and have no desire to visit the America of whose wild caperings the cinemas keep them so well informed. They have all sorts of queer ideas about us Americans which continue to amaze me. We are all thought to be as gay as the gayest movie, as daring as the gangsters, and all of us with typewriters under our arms.

I have SO far succeeded in destroying all but the last characteristic. "One thing which particularly impresses an American is the strict adherence to custom. They feel it a sacrilege change a habit which has been carried on for many years. Consequently, 95 percent of the English buildings and homes are still heated by gas fires. The habit of afternoon tea has become so fixed that even in offices and theatres, as well as in schools and private establishments, tea is served in the late afternoon as regularly as we take breakfasts.

Other evidences of how they cling to the old habits may be seen in the style of taxi cabs, the street lighting system, and the lack of modern plumbing facilities. Despite it all, London sets the pace for the world, and never does she lose her grasp on her old habits. She is a glorious mixture of time! American "Drawl" Is An Obstacle At the Academy "The English are not as hurried as most of us in America. They live casually and leisurely, or as we in America might term, aristocratically. No business man dashes off to work at a quarter to eight as we at home.

On the contrary, that hour is usually reserved for rising or early morning tea. Nine-thirty or 10 is the hour when people begin to start their work, but with an hour off for lunch at one, and tea at four, one wonders how they ever accomplish anything.

Hicks, and at present a student at the Julliard school in New York, His playing was marked by fine tonal beauty and unusual clarity of performances.

Included in his group of numbers was "Prelude in Major" (Bach) and "Baal Schem," (Ernest Bloch). His encores were "Cossack" (Kroll) and "Orientale" (RimskyKorsakov).

I am sure many of them did come for any length of time, they would soon grow dissatisfied with a great number of their own customs and would desire a change; but gettheir fellow countrymen to change, would be another difficult matter. Elizabeth remarks that her greatest difficulty at academy guising 'drawl'." her she American, "has accent. been most difficult to change and I find myself lapsing back into it whenever I am not concentrating. The right thing to do in mastering a new acto train one's ear to the difference between the two and then imitate- -easier said than done! The English clip their words and speak them more with the tip of the tongue, the teeth, and the lips, while I have found that we chew our words and swallow our vowel and consonant sounds. There are of course three distinct types of English spoken here in London: the cockney, the exaggeratd Oxfordian, and the pure English, it is the latter form that I have been ing to imitate.

Such nonsense as 'My dee-ah, we ah having such a jolly auld hee 'right you and 'beastly weathah wee-ah having'-all that we consider English is actually overdone and affected. It took quite a while to distinguish between what was the correct form, but I swear I shan't come home saying, 'Cheerio, family, old or any other silly expression." Elizabeth Spent Christmas In Austrian Tyrol Elizabeth laughingly tells a funny story on herself. It happened during a Greek play in which she was playing one of the Greek maidens of the chorus. Suddenly she had a feeling that the actors on the stage had gone ahead with lines that should come further along in the play, thus cutting out the entrance of two of principals whom she could see in the wings. In what she calls "good old American way" she decided to come the rescue and save the play.

She dimly remembered of lines that was spoken by one of the chorines gathering all courage, broke in and shouted, "But, lo, the twain whom Theas sends, their hands in bondage grasped sore, Strange offering this(here she trailed off weakly due to forgotten words). She looked up hopefully expecting see the leadon, but to her horror heard only the frantic voice of the prompter giving the next chorus cue which went "But fairer yet is In true Grecian manner she clasped her head on her knee in dire misery. The error was immediately rectified, but it took her damaged spirit a long while to revive. Elizabeth spent Christmas with a party of friends in the village of Zurs snuggled in the Austrian Tyrol.
