- [on a performance of The Merchant of Venice for the hearing impaired, produced by her and her father] Instead of using the spoken language, as all the rest of the world is accustomed to do, we shall use sign language only. Do not confuse this with pantomime, for, I assure you, it is quite different and vastly more difficult than that. The story will be told by the use of the standard symbols and signs of the deaf. It will be quite a pretentious production of its kind and, I am sure, will prove highly diverting and extremely interesting to the audience of deaf persons. Not a word will be spoken, yet the tale will be clearly and vividly presented.
