securely stuck on withfish-glue add to the general effect.  \n3.Players should be drilled to speak naturally,but ina strong,clear voice that will carry to the rear of the hall.Avoid letting the voice drop on the last syllable of asentence.Stand firm on the feet,do not shift them  \nNOTES ON THE PRODUCTION  \naround.Pause after periods and other marks of punctua-tion.Amateurs almost invariably rush
