YOU MAY LIVE

PAYING FOR II

The man who has amassed suffi-
cient money to build a house and
pay cash for it, is greatly to be en-
We'd. By far the majority of house
owners build on borrowed money,
and 1t frequently takes years before
the property passes entirely into
their hands. But in the meantime,
while they have been paying for
their homes, they have been living
in them. H.
They have been rearing families
in their own homes, and by this
example they have planted the

WELL PAINTED
WALLS ADD TO
HOME BEAUTY

If the outer walls of our houses
were made of white bed sheets
stretched on frames. they would be
very blank and uninteresting.
Shadows-even the little bands of
dark below each clapboard, shad-
ows of window and door castings, or
porch columns and simple arbors-
give texture and interest to the eX-
terror walls of our homes. That is,
however. if the walls are receptive
to these shadows.

The above home design won Sec

Architectural competition conducted
bv the West Coast Lumbermen's
Association, Seattle. Washington,
under the auspices of the Washing
ton State Chapter, American lnstI-
tute of Architects.
This design and the floor plans
show an economical solution for an
average city lot. Every effort was
made by the architect to make the
arrangement Of the rooms as simple
and compact as possible, eliminating
all unnecessary space and reducing
the gross area TO minimum
The floor plans are simple, com
pact and very attractively arranged.
This feature was one of the deter
mining factors in selecting it as the
second prize winner.
The first floor plan has three
main rooms-the living and dining
rooms agreeably opening on to
terrace. The garage has direct ac-
cess TO the house through porch
next to the kitchen.
The second floor provides three
roomy bedrooms designed SO that
light and ventilation come from two
directions.

FRIEDLANDER
KNOWS HIS
THEATER

The statement staged by Will
liam B. Friedlander" has been
announced on many occasions to
Washington theater goers. Com.
mencing Sunday night. it will
appear for one week in the pro-
gram Of the National Theater
in connection with the engage
ment of the new musical play,
"Jonica."
The announcement has appeared
frequently, but very little else
has been revealed about the
man or his work. 1t has almost
become a legend, and the exiS-
tence of the man has been as
sumed by many doubters as a
myth. However, be assured that
he is very much in evidence at
the rehearsals of his plays, but
prefers to step aside when the
spotlights are flashed. He Is
also one of the few stage direc-
tors who has resisted the call
and the lure of Hollywood. A
tireless worker, he is a hard
taskmaster. His rehearsals start
at 10 in the morning and cease
some times past midnight. His
company works complacently with
him, for he works hardest Of all.
A pun, a laugh, a little cajolery
and everybody Is happy. It Is
no sinecure to coordinate the Gre
ations of two authors, a lyric
writer, a composer Of music, a
dance director, a scenery ana
costume designer. huge orches
ira and the talents of so actors
and actresses.
Most directors of musical plays
are merely men who are converS-
ant with the technique Of staging
and who have discernment and
taste. Mr.. Friedlander is able to
compose his own music, IL neces-
sary, write his lyrics, rewrite the
book, suggest color combinations
to the scenic designer and even
tell the costume creator what ma
terials to utilize to obtain a de-
sired effect.

has studied the minutiae of the va
riouS departments and has prac-
ticed in many of them. He started
as writer of material for vaude-
vile headliners. Putting on vaude-
vile acts was a one-man job. He
wrote the patter, the lyrics and
the music; he created the scenic
effects and lighting and then
staged the act. Many vaudeville
headliners who have since become
the leading stars of musical COM
edy, owe their success partly to
his creative genius that provided
them with material.
He staged Little Jessie James,"
one of the outstanding musical
comedy hits of the decade. The
lyrics and music for "Jonica"
we're written by William Moll and
Joseph Meyer, but here and there
are interspersed compositions by
William B. Friedlander.

FAMOUS WAR
PLAY COMES
TO POLI'S

Journeys End" comes to Polls
Theater for the week of March
30th.
Each of the Allied Powers in
the great war has recently dra-
matized its experiences of con-
flict. France had it's Tomb of
the Unknown Warrior" the United
States its What Price Glory?"
and England it's Journeys End"
Each of the three plays expressed
the individual reactions of three
different nations, but it is only
the English play that has had a
truly worldwide appeal.
Although written from a dis
tinctly British viewpoint, although
dealing with essentially English
types, it has been a sensation of
sensations wherever it has played.
There have been four notable
dramatic efforts with the great
war as their background pro-
duced since the war. Three were
English, Havoc" wings Over
Europe and Journeys End
The first three were English.
What Price Glory?", during its
greatest American popularity was
sent to London. and failed there.
The American viewpoint was alien
to the English audiences. But
Journeys End" one of the Eng
lish plays, when it was shown in
New York last winter, scored a
success even greater than the
tremendous ovation that it re-
ceived when it opened in London.
The truth is that Journeys
End" although a distinctly En-
glish play. has an appeal that is
bound only by the limits of hui
manity. It will show to us a
group of men in a front-line dug
out in France, and it shows us
the men during few days
wherein they are waiting for a
great German attack that they
know will come, and that they
know will overwhelm them. In
CAAC OCA4OC NcbJO Va CApCJGdIlCy
dread, all barriers of nationalism
and racial types are broken down,
and we see the raw and essen
TALLY fine stuff of which human
ity is made.
Journeys End" hits home to
every one of us, and doubly so
to those of us who were in the
war. Written by Robert G. Sher-
iff, a former lieutenant in Sur
rey regiment, it presents actual
experience and pictures men
whom the author really knew.
The company to be seen here
has been especially organized by
Mr.. Miller to play the larger cities
of the East and is the same that
enjoyed such an extended run in
Boston the early end of the sea-
son. From there it went to Phil
adelphia, where it packed the
Lyric Theater for several weeks,
and will come here almost direct
from the Quaker City. In the
Eastern company will be seen a
cast consisting of Richard Bird,
Henry Stephenson, John Parrich,
Charles ESdale and Arthur Stem
ming. The coming of Journeys
End" will be a gratifying event
in the theatrical year.

Mr.. Barlow was once leading
man in stock at PittSfield, Mass,
and will be remembered as having
