Thursday and Friday-Theda Bar: in
“The Darling of Paris"
Miss Theda tiara, the eminent Fox
player and star, has some well-defined
opinions upon the subject ‘of pronun-
ciation of words. According to her
observation, pronunciation is in a
great measure arbitrary and not in-
frequently is exposed to the caprices
of fashion and taste. it is liable to
mange front one age to another, and
‘it varies more or less not only in the
different and distantly separate t-ouu
tries in which it is spoken, but also in
the different divisions and districts in
the same country". L
llss Barn points to the fact that
tho East has a different pronunciation
from that of the West. The pronun-
ciation in New Enizland is different
from that of any other part of th‘?
C(nlnll'y', and thr- same can be said of
the South. yet the man who lives in
Charleston, S. (1., does not pronnuiwe
his words unlike the one who lives in
Boston.
