CHICAGO Warning
. ON UGLY BUILDINGS
Campaigns Launched to End
"Atrocities" of City
Architecture.

by tHc ASSOtIdteu I-TeSS
CHICAGO. August 7.-Campaigns
have been launched by civic beauty
organizations and bodies connected
with the architectural and structural
industries to eliminate two "atroci.
ties Of modern city building - the
shirt front" style Of architecture and
the placing of unsightly penthouses
and water tanks on roofs.
A shirt front" building is one Of
which only the street elevation Is
given a finished architectural treat
ment, the sides and back being Of
common brick, with no attempt at
unification with the front.
Rough Finisl, Spells Beauty.
Architects who design such build
ings claim that it Is not from in
clination but at the behest Of the
owner or builder who wished to save
money. Those opposed to this build
ing style point out that in skyscraper
construction the sides and rear of a
building are almost as noticeable as
the front, and therefore the rough
finish of these walls detracts from
the beauty of the, building and also
of the surroundings.
The modern trend in high structures
among builders with an eye for beauty
as well as utility is to treat the en-
tire building as unit, of which the
four sides have an equal value. rather
than as pile of masonry with only
fine face. In order to achieve this
unity and also to give more pleasing
appearance to sheer walls of buildings
in which it is not practicable to place
windows, shaded brick often is used
to create the impression Of windows,
inches and set design.
Hiding "VVater" Tanks.
The ugly roof structures, which
make the skyline Of many cities APP
pear as seas Of water tanks and pack
ing boxes, have come in for vigorous
condemnation, particularly by city
beautiful organizations. And here
the clever architect, aided by q
builder who believes the beauty
achieved is worth the money ex-
pended, is coming to the rescue.
In many modern buildings these un-
slightly structures are so placed as to
form an integral part Of the building
unit, in other words, placed inside
and surrounded by roof. Sky
scrapers of the old school largely
were packing box affairs, with a fiat
roof surrounded by a gigantic cornice
and surmounted by small service
structures. The upbuilding of roofs
over penthouses and water tanks and
smokestacks gradully is eliminating
this style of architecture and result
ing in structures Of pleasing proper
tions from the base to the top.

House at Dedham Famous.

A frame house at Dedham, Mass.

nearly 800 years old. 1t is still serv-

do not last that long. In the South.

More Britons Stay Home.

THREE FACES EAST
 LYCEUM PICTURE
Famous War-MyStery Drama "KinS Of the Turf" a Feature

Here's an interesting question: could or would you kill your sweet heart to save your native country 1 from crushing defeat in time of war? This is inc dilemma which confronts Jetta GOudal in the thrilling drama tie climax of "Thrcc Faces East" q sensational mystery story Of secret service which opens tomorrow night aS one of inc LyCCum features. The other attraction is Louis Joseph Nancc'a story 'Tho King of the Turf" presented by a cast featuring Patsy
 Ruth Miller, Kenneth Harlan, David Terrence Mary Carr and other fav- oritcS. The picture is q mixture of ilacc track molodrama and genuine sidcSplitting comedy. For the last three days of next week the Lyccum
 presents "Thc Love House, TO- nance of shop girl and a million airc, and "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court"
 In "Thrco Faces East" originally great stage success, Miss. Goudal has dual role. She is deep in the confidence Of rival powers, giving in formation apparently of great value to both sides and it is not until the last few feet of film that her real identity is disclosed.
 In the development of tn" story Miss Goudal, as Miss Hawthorne, presumably 2 GcApan spy, falls in love with Nallar, n German agent. As he is about to send Berlin a mes sage which will bring about the aerial bombing Of London, meaning the death of countless thousands, the girl covers him with her revolver and threatens to kill him if he send the message, A revolver battle en- sues in which Naldar is killed. but by whom only the closing flashes Glscloso.
 This is but one Of tho many thrill ing scenes in the picture. Others in the cast include Give Brook, Robert Amos and Henry R. Walthall Ru- pert Julian, the producer, himself plays the role of Kaiser Wilhelm.
 In "rhc King of the Turf" most of tho funmaking arises from tho transformation which three jail birds undergo when they accept an unusual invitation to visit Col. Fair fax in his southern mansion.
 The racing sconcs themselves fur nish the big kick of th" picture and there are two contests that bring the audience up standing.
 Special music by Ben 1rving's or Chcstra is a feature
