Stately Colonial Residence
Stands Four Square to
the Sunshine.
Design Won Fourth
Prize In Contest
Living and Dining Rooms
Grouped so as to Give
Great Spaciousness.
BY l.. PORTER MOORE,

President Home owners Institute, Inc.
This stately Colonial house, plan NO.
2-E, by Owen Lau Gowman, New YORK
architect. stands four square to the
sunshine, admitting plenty of light and
air to every room on even the cloudleSl
DAYS. Every inch of its $4,000 cubic
feet of contents is advantageously used
in its layout of seven main rooms, two
baths and downstairs lavatory.
Its design shows perfect symmetry
in the disposition of windows and front
doorway, graced by a dignity OF line
and perspective in which its owner
might well take constant pride This
design won fourth prize in the archl-
tectlIral competition conducted by PEN
Gil Points Magazine.
The skillful manner in which living
and dining rooms are grouped in rela-
ton to the sun porch provides spa
ciousness and freedom unusual in
houses of moderate size.
Entrance to the three upstairs bed
rooms through short passageways is an
interesting treatment, giving high
degree of privacy to each chamber.
Compact arrangement would make
the installation of modern built-in
items of or-Saving equipment a SIM
pie matter.

unusual in that the kitchen is located
at the left front of the house. 1t has
a separate entrance at the side of the
house near the front of the dwelling,
but its design is such as not to give
the impression of service entrance. A
small round window sets high in the
first floor front of the house, lights
the side entrance hall and also conceals
the purpose of this section of the house.
The kitchen is further shielded from
the great living room at the right side
of the first floor by the stairway to
the second floor. which is located in
the front entrance hall.
In keeping with the style of many
modern homes, there is lavatory at
the right front of the house opening
off the front entrance hall which runs
across the front of the house
The living room is unusually large
its dimensions being IA feet inches
by 20 feet inches. At the left rear
of the house is the dining room, which
connects with the kitchen.
On the second floor are four bed
rooms and two baths The bedrooms
all open onto the center hall on this
floor
Floor plans of this house are illus
trated on page l9.

Transform Old Houses.

Many a fine old home, substantially
built, but out of style. is being trans
formed by the addition of few win
dows, a sun parlor or glaSS-inclosed
porch. These little improvements make
all the difference in the world. The
value of the building is greatly in

| ment does sound promising. That Is
the reference to the two medals that
have been struck off to be awarded tc
the best films of the year
wish Mr.. Russell would tell us more
| about these medals. Are they to be
awarded every year? How big are they
and how much did they cost? (This
particular question will be of vital inn
pcrtance to the movie magnates, who
aren't going to work their heads off in
an effort to win a medal that they'd
be ashamed to wear.)
Furthermore, who Is to decide just
what are the two best films of the
year? Will it be put up to the previ-
ously mentioned 10000 men and women
of talent and genius? Or will small
but reasonably competent jury be
called in to make the decision?
There is legitimate place for
awards of merit in the movies. compa-
rable to the Nobel and Pulitzer Prize
awards tSinclair Lewis and George
Bernard Shaw to the contrary. Ger
tainly. the first Pulitzer Prize won by
Eugene CNeill meant a great deal to
that young dramatiSt, who was then
struggling for recognition and susie
nance.
There is. to be aure, the annual
photoplay gold medal, which is award
ed by vote of the readers of Mr.
Quirks magazine 1t goes. naturally,
to the most prominent success of the
year-the picture that has had the
largest circulation. Films like THE
Last Laugh" "Nanook of the North
or Stark Love" which reach a neces-
sarily limited audience. haven't much
Of chance in a nationwide poll.
1t seems to me that producers of such
merltorlous films ought to be rewarded
with trophies now and then; they
don't get much else.
Four years ago Adolph zukor, with
a grand gesture. offered an annual
prize of $4,000 to the author of the
best story revealed on the screen with
in the previous IL months. 1t was
won the first year by Rafael Sabatini
with "Scaramouche." The prize has
never been heard of since.
There Is, however, an annual award
Of $4,000 for the best picture shown
in the Paramount Theater in New
York. II was won in 1927 by Under
world" which was not only the best
picture shown at the Paramount The
ater, but land say this without un-
due exaggeration) the only really good
picture that has yet been seen in that
expensive house. Moreover, Under
world" wouldn't have been shown at
the Paramount Theater at all If it
hadn't been for the surprising fact
that its producers underrated it. When
the Paramount officials read the news
paper reviews and realized that they
had a big hit on their hands, they
promptly moved underworld" to an
