Ceilings in Style

Modern decorators have decreed
that rooms shall have ceilings. They
frown upon the style Of where
colored walls seem to stand alone
without a roof simply because the
ceiling has been painted dead white.
Too often in the past. complete
color harmony for a room has been
lost BY this neglect Of the ceiling.
The white ceiling Is not the con-
tinuous part Of the room that II
should be. Dark colors. certainly
do not belong on the ceiling unless
1t is an unusually high one. and
this means of making IL appear low
er is advisable. But much mor coll
or can be extended to the ceiling for
best results. The wall color tinted
to a lighter shade or grayed Is suit
able for the ceiling. Or IL may be
painted a contrasting color. provid-
ed this color is kept fairly light.
Here are some interesting color
combinations found in an exhibit
of modern interiors In New York.

Styles move in circles. Colonial

reasons it was thrown away. The

boards polished and colored by long
use Is declared beautiful in an age
when factories turn out furniture

smooth walls. Now that smooth
walls are seen everywhere, we find
a great deal Of charm In the old
walls finished with inelestic mater
ials and imperfect tools. The marks
of the workers hands and the curves
of the trowels made a surface on
which light and shade fall 70 pro-
duce a living texture.
The palm finish found in old
Spanish churches both in Europe
and America shows a crude sim
plicity Of unskilled workmanship
that today Is mellow and rich IN
tone.
We cannot purchase old walls for
our homes as easily as we can

OF old walls may be duplicated simp-
~ enough in any home. With
adaptable whitehead paint a mod
ern painter can reproduce many

brush end or by tamping IL lightly

recreate the rough wall effects seen
In many fine old buildings OF Eng

Consider Setting Of
House for Painting

The person VINO paints a house
paints a part Of the landscape.
There are two questions to answer
before beginning. How Will this
color suit the house itself? And
how will such a colored house har-
monte with its surroundings2
The owner Of city or suburban
property must consider the appear
ance Of the neighboring houses. If
all the houses in the block are
painted white and vines and shrub
berry are used to give them color.
a single dark or bright colored
house would spoil the picture.
Neighboring houses that are 'out
of key with one another as to color
are in constant discord.
The owner of property that is
more or less off by itself need not
of course. choose a house color that
will harmonic with his neighbours
house a good distance away. The
problem here Is. simply to pick q
color appropriate for the style Of
house and the landscape. A dark
gray paint suitable for a house in
a smoky city. for example. may seem
drab in the fresh colors OF the
country.
White has been the most popu-
lar color for house paint ever since
Colonial times. 1t has been esti-
mated that about seventy out OF
hundred houses in this country are
painted white and ten are white with
a dark trim. The remaining ten
are usually cream, ivory. buff and
tan.
The reasons for the popularity of
white are many. In winter and in
summer the white house is in keep
ing with the country landscape. The
owner Of q summer home sheltered
by trees may choose white so that
the building can be located easily
by returning members Of the family
and arriving guests. A white house
in the woods stands out clearly and
can be found readily in the day
time or at night.
If the landscape is extremely
rugged and wild. on the other hand.
the summer camper may want his
house or cottage to merge with its
surroundings. In that case he will
mix green pigment and lampblack
into his white lead paint, and the
building will be almost as much a
part OF the landscape as the rocks
and trees themselves. The man
who thus subordlnates his house
to his surroundings shcw- tho great
est possible respect for the chaTac-
ter Of the country.

The story of a circus clown who fell in love with his ward is told in Painted Faces" the Tiffany all- talking picture starring Joe E. Brown at the Coliseum Sunday. An excellent supporting cast includes Helen Foster, Barton Hepburn, Dor othy Guiliver, Lester Cole, Sojin, Mabel Julienne Scott, Alma Ben nett, Purnell Pratt, Walter Perry and many others.
 Frances Hyland wrote the story around Beppo, a clown acrobat whose chief joy in life is his little ward, Nancy. When she joins the circus during school vacation of her eighteenth summer, he- discovers that she is young laaJ and that his fondness for her is much more serious and disturbing that it had ever been before.
 But Nancy likes the sleek sheik type better than the wide-mouthed, funny faced type comedian who has always been daddy to her, and on this preference hangs a story full Of surprising situations and dra- matic thrills.

 Another angle not to be over locked is the work of Lane Chand- Ter, who until now has been seen in Western pictures, and with Love and Learn" has started his 'asociety career in pictures, handled his role admirably.
 Others who help swing this fine picture along are :Hedda Hopper as Miss Ralston's or Nancy Blake's" mother; Robert King as her father; Jack Clark as Hansen: Guy Oliver as the detective, and others.

Coupled with the tense drama of Street Girl" is sparkling comedy furnished by Jack Oakie, Ned Sparks and Joseph Cawthorn, three ef the screens best comics.
 Seldom can a picture claim four distinct song hits, but Sidney Clare and Oscar Levant well-k known Broadway song-writing team, have composed quartet of popular numbers for Street Girl" that promise to gain national recogni- tion. My Dream Memory" "Brok- en Up Tune" a hot" stepping number which has originated the new Broken Up" dance, "Lovable and Sweet" and Prince of Good Fellows contain all the elements that go to make up popular hits.
