Great Success

The celebration of N. V. A.
week by some 10000 variety per-
formers in over 700 vaudeville
theatres in America, which has
just ended was undoubtedly the
most successful from every
standpoint of any gala event of
it's sort in the history of the
American theatre.
Everywhere the public re-
Spouse was most spontaneous
and enthusiastic and the national
receipts were higher than last
year, although the exact total
has not been announced. In
vaudeville theatres everywhere
the week was marked by special
features and observances, and
whether the house was the Pal
ace or Hippodrome in New York
or the local opera house in a
town of $500 there was some
thing of an UNUSUAL nature both
for artists and patrons.
Now remain n. V. A balls to
be given in various cities and the
four huge benefits in New York
on May II at the Hippodrome,
the Metropolitan Opera House,
the New Amsterdam Theater and
the Manhattan Opera House.

Lesson No. 8
LIGHTING THE BATH ROOM

Have you ever watched your ia
Their shave? Does he try to keep sha-
dows away by turning his face this
way and that? Or can he shave COM
fortably and easily with smile on
his face like the man in the second
picture? Shaving is really the best
test of lighting in bathrooms. A man
shaves each side of his face and I'M
der his chin, and if he is to see well,
he needs light on each side down
low enough to light underneath the
chin.
Lighting the mirror in the bath
room is exactly the same problem as
lighting the mirror in the bedroom,
and two bracket fixtures are needed
for good lighting-one at either side
of the mirror at eye level or little
above. The fixtures should point up
ward and should have long dense milk
white shades open at the top to con-
ceal the 50-watt bulbs inside.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1924-10-30

falls upon our face which reflects
a part of the light to the mirror;
the mirror, in turn, reflects part
of the light back to our eye, and we
have seen an image of our own face.
Now it is easy to understand why
it is more important to light the face
itself instead of lighting the mirror.
To do this, the bulb or light source
ought to be in front of the face. And
since the face is not flat surface it
can be best lighted from two direc-
lions, so that the light from one side
will light up the shadow cast from
the features of the face by the light
from the other side.
The best lighting, then, is from
two bracket fixtures on the walls, one
at each side of the mirror. These
fixtures are just at the level of the
eye, and the light from them will
cause eye-strain unless we are care
full to have them well shaded for
protection against glare. The bulbs
in these bracket fixtures may be
from % to so watts.
In some rooms where there is not
enough wall space at each side Of
the mirror on which to put bracket
fixtures, we may use pair OF port
able candlesticks on the dresser it
self, or special sort of bracket made
to fasten at each side Of the mirror
itself. Or we may have a single
fixture hung from the ceiling over
the center of the dresser, the bot
tom of which is just above the head
of person using the mirror.
If portable candlesticks are used,
or if bracket fixtures are fastened to
the mirror, we must not forget con-
venience outlet, which may well be
of the double or duplex type mounted
in the wall SO inches above the floor.
This also makes it easy to attach q
curling iron or other appliance. A
convenience outlet will also be need
ed near the head of the bed for
boudoir lamp in which 25-watt bulb
will give plenty of light.
SERVANTS ROOMS
Good lighting for servants rooms
may be provided from ceiling fix
ture in which 50-watt bulb is used
with a suitable shade and bracket
fixture on the wall with shaded %
or 50-watt bulb. If the room is very
small, the ceiling fixture may not be
needed, and pair of bracket fixtures
may be used.
A small portable table lamp will do
much to make the room more COM
Portable, but it is not essential.
Whether it is used or not, a con-
venience outlet may be needed for
electric appliances.

the light to connect her electric iron?
If she does, she probably does not
curl her hair in the evening, because
many bathrooms are lighted by only
one fixture. And if your bathroom
has two fixtures, and sister uses one
for a curling iron, then she must
twist and turn her head because she
cannot see well when only one is used
for lighting.
That curling iron of sisters is just
one of the handy little electric APP
planes which should be provided
with an outlet of their own--a con-
venience outlet SO inches or more
above the floor, so that good light
ing is always ready when it is most
needed

enough general lighting all over the
room for ordinary use of the room.
To protect the eyes, it must be shad-
ed in such way that the eyes of
person lying in bed cannot be strain
ed by the bulb which furnishes the
light. If shade is used which is OPP
en- at the bottom, the opening should
be narrow. A total of from SO to 100
watts will given plenty of light in
this fixture.
LIGHTING THE MIRROR
We see objects by the light that
falls on them and is reflected to the
eve. Thus, when we look in mir
ror, and see reflection of our face,
what has happened is this: the light
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1924-10-30

If the bathroom is large, you may
have a fixture in the center of the
ceiling just like the fixture used in
the kitchen. If this is properly put
in and equipped with a bulb of To-
watts or more, it will furnish good
general lighting all over the room
on occasions when the mirror is not
being used.
When sister goes to curl her hair
in front of the mirror, does she find
it necessary to take the bulb out of
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1924-10-30

There are three or four different
purposes for which we may need
lighting in a bedroom. At times we
need soft flood of light all over
the room; when dressing, we need
proper lighting of the mirror; bou-
doir lamp on small table near the
head of the bed, or bracket lamp
on the bed itself serves as a night
light; and if the room be a large
one, there may be need for a floor
lamp beside comfortable chair for
reading.
THE CEILING FIXTURE
The fixture that is selected for the
center of the ceiling should provide

In the sun room, however, the fur
niture and decorations usually require
lighting fixtures which will look well
with wicker and cretonne and which
will make the sun room feel like
a sun room even after dark.

LIGHTING THE sun ROOM

In the sun room we usually want
a ceiling fixture to give US general
lighting and to flood the whole room
with warm, soft light and an at
mosphere of cheerfulness; we also
need lighting from portable lamps
for reading or sewing, or as decora--
tive spots of light and color around
the room. Do you remember the les
