wasn't necessary to use delicately

raw colors to get pleasing effects
BY . iudici0us combination Of pri-

dams who lived in this commun-

The Navajo Indians Of New Mex
leo have been the most famous
blanket makers and they were call
ed upon to contribute their share
Of color schemes.
/ Patrons Of the theatre will have
the opportunity of making careful
study Of these reproductions a.
shown on the side walls of the 6rst
story, the. entire wainscot consist
ing Of = series Of panels in blanket
designs. These designs contain
many of the we'll. ka0wn Indian
symbols and details painted after
the manner in which they were
actually woven into the cloth on
the looms. Since the process Of
weaving among the Indians was
somewhat primitive, most Of the
patterns have adhered to rectangu-
lar lines, though here and there
have been incorporated patterns Of
snimals. The chief animal Intro
duced in this particular design IL
that Of a two-headed hawk with
wings spread.
There are so many other motives
contained in the design that they
| will undoubtedly enable the observ.
er to have q very interesting time
tracing them out.
The colors that have been used
have blended in themselves and in
the wainscot as q. whole to produce
a warm, homelike effect such as il

charm, and We may well carry ouI
memories back to the days wher
this community was owned and in
habited by the Indians who have
contributed SO much to the pictur'
esuue history of this city.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27-The story of
a young mans bulldog persistence is
furnished by relatives and business
associates of Lloyd Morgan, the young
architectural designer who has won
the Paris Prize of the Society of
Beaux Arts, after twelve years of de-
votion to his art.
Only the interruption of the World
war, in which he was seriously wound
ed, has separated Morgan from the
pursuit OF architecture since he was
fifteen years old. In that time he has
worked his way through courses in
three technical schools and supported
himself by pencil and ruler from the
word go.
Now, at the age of twenty-nine. he
has reached the top goal for any ar
chitectural student - three years
scholarship in the Ecole des Beaux
Arts in Paris. which has cash value
of $4,000. His first attempt at the
prize, made in Paris in 1919, after his
discharge from the army, failed. His
second succeeded, in competition with
architectural students all over the
United States.
