Southwest Celebration
Was a Huge Success.

OIVIC team work In the Old
\ Southwest produced a most
successful opening of the
newly named Fourth street and
demonstrated in very definite way
the value of such civic efforts. Two
of the Commissioners of the Dis
trict Of Columbia reviewed the fine
parade and then made speeches Of
appreciation and promised numer-
Gus improvements for that section.
Some interested citizens have ex-
pressed the opinion that had Con-
gress been here and members of
the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives had witnessed the cele-
bration Southwest would have car
ried of everything it wants in the
next session Of Congress.
From leaders Of the organizations
of the section it is learned that a
very definite program is planned
for the reclamation of the South
west. Some of these plans were
outlined last year by President
Schaffer Of the Southwest Citi-
zens' Association. The fine spirit
of cooperation between all the
bodies Of the section in arranging
the celebration encourages them to
formulate complete Joint program
for a New Old Southwest"

A s THE associations meet,
n the chief topic for con-
"A sideration appears to be
4 \ the rerouting of the trans
portation lines and improved
service. There has been some
discussion Of the budget and In
numerous instances an insistence
that the real-estate tax rate be
kept at $3.50 and the Federal
Government pay a more equitable
share of the District budget. Some
of the associations have ap-
proved new forms of taxation so
as to make more money available
to meet the Districts urgent needs.
Included in these new taxes are
an estate tax. sales tax and an
increase Of / cent in the gasoline
tax. The preponderance Of senti-
ment, however, seems to be in
opposition to any increase In taxes
unless the Government meets
what is generally conceded to be
its lust obligation.

there must be plenty of light.
Between two windows Is an ex-
cellent place for it.
If you want further drawer
space, chest of drawers with
its mirror hanging over it is the
solution, or there are other sim
liar pieces that serve, according
to your needs.
RestfuI Chairs
AS your bedroom should be
essentially place of rest, there
must be at least one comfortable
chair, a chaise Tongue if posi-
BILE, and tables handy to all
lounge chairs. If you need fur
ther small chairs, they will fit
into the extra space. Some peo-
pie like a desk in their bedroom.

If you have it, you must have
with it a comfortable straight
back chair.
Don't forget that there must
be enough light, enough lamps,
and they must be we'll placed.
If you like to read in bed, be
sure your bedside lamp is con-
veniently placed, and also be
sure you have a bed with head.

Bedroo are essentially
places of rest. That statement
seems obvious, yet many people
live or sleep in rooms that are
in no way comfortable or con-
venient.
The furniture itself in a bed
room should be designed pri-
marily for comfort and utility.
Beds should be the finest you
can afford, not only because
they give you more rest, but also
because they last so much
longer. Cabinets should be COM
modious and suited to your es-
pecial needs.
But even after you have
looked to the convenience OF
your furniture, you cannot be
entirely comfortable unless your
bedroom is restful to the eye, is
harmonious in color and Sooth-
ing to your spirit.
Harmony of Parts
This harmony is not entirely
a matter of color, but OF form,
of good taste as we'll. All the
things in the room must be
planned to suit the room, to suit
each other, the colors must be
right, and then the pieces must
be placed right.
It would take too long to go
into types, colors and rooms, but
we can talk about arrangement.

these groups should be planned
to make the room restful ana

Natural Grouping
The bed, or d pair of twin
beds, makes a natural grouping
with one or two night stands
with lamps. This group might
include a blanket chest at the
foot of the bed, always useful
and in place if the room is large

rather smooth, make beautiful
shoes, and are practically al
ways trimmed with feathers. E.
with patent, kid or calf.
Of course the feathers aren't
neglected, and suedes seem to
have the best of it numerically
I'm sure they will be the
leaders later, but for early wear
there are some delightful kids
that are cool looking, dainty,
and altogether delightful.
Two Materials Used

it too is trimmed with another
leather. You seldom see just
one material in a shoe. It's
toes, heels and bit of piping
in another leather, or it's al
most half and half, two leath-
ers used.
Sports shoes are Ine eXcep~
ton, for there you often see
sturdy oxfords or pumps OF

and very sports-like. Some
times calf and suede are COM
bined, but most people think
the suede is not so practical,
though they admit its chic.
Fabrics For Afternoon
Afternoon shoes occasionally
use one material too, and there
again you find cloth used.
Not the usual crepe or faille.
but wooden materials that look
like they we're made to go
with dull sheers, dull crepes,
and sheer woolenS.
AS for myself, I might as
we'll confess that I bought the
most beautiful kid ties trimmed
in patent leather. oh, yes.
patent is quite good again.
Ties, oxfords and variations OF
the high cut pump seem to
have the honors as far as
styles go.

What Ny Camera Tells Me
About the Stars

of himself and nothing ever ruf.
files his composure.
Marlene Dietrich is exception
ally picturable. She knows what
it is all about, and that knoWl-
edge, combined with the sweet
ness of her disposition, makes
her an admirable subject. Her
eyes are extremely expressive
and give clearer indication of
her character than any other
feature. She seems to have
wonderful clarity of vision, not
only physical, but mental.
Jack Oakie is always a riot.
I have to photograph him be-
tween laughs. Yet he is a fine
subject, especially for comical
pictures, because of his mobile
face and the limitless number
of expressions he can assume.
A sitting is gag to him and
he treats it as such.
Sincerity is the outstanding
trait of Sylvia Sidney when be-
fore the camera. There is moth
ing brummagem, nothing Of
the tinsel about her. She is
real and she Is vivid, and the
camera cannot help but see
her that way.
George Raft is another I like
to photograph. Properly lighted,
there is almost the quality of
an old master in his pictures.
He has the clear-cut features
which, when accentuated by
lighting and black shadows,
give his portraits almost a Van
Dyck quality.
Claudette Colbert is a Joy.
It is a fascinating task to work
with her. In spite of her dark
complexion, the fine texture of
her skin is easy to catch, and
that, combined with her clear
cut features and her expressive
ness, make any photographer
anxious to experiment on her
with radical lighting and shad-
ows. There is something of the
ancient princess about her, and
her smile Is the most gorgeous
I have ever known.
When photographing Gary
Cooper and Richard Arlen I
always feel as if I should do the
work in the open. There is
an outdoor quality about each
Of them which makes them
seem rather out of place in a
gallery. Both have traits Of
kindness and sweetness that
invariably register, in spite of
their rugged-he-man character
istics and appearance.
Frances Drake, one of Para
mounts newcomers, is an ex-
tremely versatile subject. She
can be posed in any sort of
costume or in any character,
and she is always effective. She
is one of those rare people who
really photograph, as the say
ing is, like a million dollars"
She and the camera are firm
friends.
The predominant camera
quality of Evelyn Venable is
tenderness. The sweetness of
her disposition is unmistakable,
but coupled with it are out
standing evidences Of capability.
Her latent power, her ability
to do almost anything upon
which she sets her mind, are
obvious.

But the shoes themselves are
so smart, so refreshing that
they give you a feeling of eager
ness for autumn. You look at
a few of them and think, my.
how nice to put on dark clothes
again!" And first thing you
know you've bought pair. For
they are really tempting.

are suggesting fabric for your

Lawyer Bridegroom is Wearing

Edward Curren, popular young lawyer-about-
town, must be part Of his trousseau. Curren was
married, you may remember, this midsummer.
He still has the bridal air. After careful OBJ
servation we have decided that he never wears
the same tie twice. And such beautiful ties. We
wonder what he does with em.
In the matter of shirts we note that he is going
in for pastel shades with no regard for ensemble.
But he always looks impressive. Maybe it is his
prematurely gray hair-or his clear blue eyes.

some a man, if the lens of my

in vain.
I don't know how many pho
tographic studies I have made
of screen stars. Hundreds of
thousands, I do know. And I do
know that I have never made a
sitting in which I did not use
my utmost efforts to bring out
phases of character, underlying
traits, that are not apparent in
a superficial inspection. No two
subjects are alike. Each has his
or her own individuality, and
that is what I try to select and
depict with the camera.
For example, Miriam Hopkins
is one Of the most satisfactory
subjects I have ever had. AS a
rule, the beauty of people as
blonde as she. seldom has the
striking character of hers. She
is small and vital. Her intelli-
gence is of a high order and her
face is mirror in which she
can, at will, reflect her thoughts
and moods. In other words, in
addition to her beauty, she is a
Consummate actress, whether on
the set or in the portrait gallery.
Carole Lombard makes a pho

is always obliging, always will
ing, never complaining. She has
exceptional grace and she poses

she makes a perfect subject for
fashion pictures. But don't get
