Foundation Presents Home Design
With Alternate Floor Plan.

A striking modern Western home
design in the low-cost field is of
fered this week by Western Homes
Foundation, in its series of 1889
plans. This is the lakewood, just
off the drafting boards of the archi-
tects. A. major feature of the Oak
wood is that alternate floor plans
are provided for a single exterior.

of l2,050 cubic feet, one for a house

The utility room on the first floor
as space for laundry and heating
units is a modern idea. 1t has won
more favor in the west than in any
other region. New Englanders.. for
example, still specify easements in

cubic feet. AT 20 cents per cubic
foot, this means a saving of $500.
The saving will vary, however, de
pending on the excavation soil The
saving with utility room is con-

tional Small Homes Demonstration
The highly efficient hall design is
notable. So is the arrangement of
flue, fireplace and heating unit.
Utility room and bathroom plumb
ing are back to back in Plan A. The
living room is at the rear, feature
in demand in the West, where back
yard gardens are popular and where
the best view from a property is
often that seen from the back yard
On the right rear a sun porch may
easily be added The coy little
shelter entry in front is ideal for a
frame of Towering vines.
The exterior beauty of the Oak
wood is evident at glance. Even
if economy prohibits the bedroom
bay, the seductive yet simply sym
metry of the front of this home will
still catch the attention of all pass
ers-by.
Costs of the lakewood have been
calculated over a broad range of
from a low of Is cents per cubic
foot to 30 cents. On this basis, Plan
B would cost from $4,000 to $4,000;
Plan A from $4,000 to $4,000. Month
ly cost of Plan B, under the FILA
system, this including charges on
interest, principal, mortgage insur-
ance, and estimated fire insurance
and taxes, would be from S35 to S45
per month, after down payment; on
Plan A, from about SIS to S35 per
month.
Working plans and specifications
for the lakewood may be obtained at
nominal cost through any retail lum-
Der dealer or from Western Homes

that gives every passage its fullest
meaning. And the meaning is new
IN many instances. His is Hamlet,
you should by all means know, who
has a love for fun and who inspires
more mirth than q dozen of his
predecessors. Even In the speeches
accustomed to the most solemn
reading, Evans finds that which is
provocative of laughter; natural.
easy laughter, not that evoked by
the mere novelty of a strange inter-
pretation. The effect is startling
and impressive. Moreover, it is by
no means limited in these effects
to pedants and specialists in the
classic drama. Shakespeare did not
write for them, nor does Evans play
10 them. Here is something that
looks like everybody's Shakespeare,
which the Bard had to be to please
the captious and capacious audi
ences of his own day.
Some excellent subordinate per-
1ormances counterpoint the acting
OF the star. In appearance, Kath-
erlne Locke Is not only one of the
most credible Ophelias imaginable
she also gives the role of the sensi-
tive, fragile girl a beauty of in

human qualities that are beyond
the usual condensed script. III the
Gertrude who SO often has been
pictured as the unfeehng, unscrup-
ulous female, she finds torment and
a ravaged conscience for the mis-
deeds which usually look so con-
scienceless.
Once ones ear becomes attuned
to the voices which he brings 20 the
part, one finds the garrulous, bonn
bastic Polonius of George Graham
a lar more humorous character than
is the tradition. Others who might
be singled out for more mention
than they are about to get are
Henry Edwards as Claudius, Wesley
Addy as Laertes. Donald Randolph
as Horatio and Whitford Kane (as
always and always as the first
gravedigger. The impression grows,
not merely from it's excellence but
his constant appearance in the part,
that Mr.. Kane originated it.
Margaret Websters staging of
Hamlet" is a thing of pictorial
beauty. of a pace that never pals
IN spite Of the length of the play
and of an inventiveness that is
captivating. David Ffolkes sets con-
tribute vastly to the newness of
spirit which marks the whole pro-
ductlon. a creative job of signifi-
cance in view of the many mooels
which he might have copied.
The greatest Hamlet is some
thing for our superiors in scholar

sive, whole-souled Prince of Evans
creation kept his auditors at a pitch
of excitement that rarely wavered
Four hours is long time in the
theater, but not when it Is spent
in filling the mind with an entirely
different impression of the greatest
character ever written by the great
est playwright in the language. A
powerful fascination inheres in the
process of not merely discovering a
new Hamlet but in ridding con-
sciousness of the old one, trading
the melancholy Dane for the man
of action. And, If there is more
emphatic tribute to the potency OF
the Evans acting ability than thai
it so easily disabuses the mind of
its classroom convictions on the
subject of Hamlet, this department
is at a loss to know what it is.
Dominant. of course, is the char
acter of the Prince in the uncu:
version of the play. But for all it's
lofty eloquence. and the beautiful
music Evans makes of Shakespeare S
words, the Danes part in the drama
does not obscure the fact that subor-
dinate characters are vastly more
real and vital than they ever seemed
before. All of them are notably
different, the Queen. Ophelia, Ros-
encrantz, even bombastic old Polo
MUS, In this, the original version of
a play OF which one heretofore has
seen only devitalized part.
1t is fine, high scorn for the
accepted Prince of Denmark that
Mr.. Evans shows. Instead of the
beWildered, fearful, neurotic, he por-
trays Hamlet as man who meets
the vicissitudes of an odd family
life with unf1agging gusto; as a man
enmeshed in situations that ar.
enormously perplexing but never
paralyzing. The mind as well as
the heart gets a workout during
the uncut Hamlet. Both end the
evening full of amazed admiration
for this Princes unwillingness to
give up the fight. 1t is perhaps
the reaction which was felt by the
audiences of his own time for whom,
Shakespeare wrote his tragic melo-
drama. At least it is pleasant and
refreshing to think so, however arro-
CANT and possibly unsupportable the
thought.
Mr.. Evans endows the poetry of
the play with not only one of the
most musical voices ever heard on
the stage, but reads it in a tempo

Concert Presents
Original Works
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

The first of two concerts sched-
uled by the Department of Agri-
culture Orchestra, DR.. Walter Bauer,
conductor, took place last evening in
the department auditorium. The
same program. with r. S. Campbell
replacing Clarke Paulsen as BARI
tone soloist with the mems chorus,
will be repeated tonight.
The program featured two num-
bers by members of the orchestra.
Franklin B. Charles orchestra
suite. In Switzerland" and ROLAND
Hoy's Miniature Suite" for string
orchestra. Mr.. Charles has based
his work on impressions gained dur
ing visit to Switzerland and has
named the movements THE Alps"
"On the Rigi' and "Vilanelle." The
composer has fine gift of melody
which he uses expertly in making
this suite descriptive of the men,
ory of his visit and because of this
the whole atmosphere is replete with
charm. 1t is written in flowing
style, concise and clearly stated with
a real inspiration guiding his pen.
1t made pronounced impression
and each section was enthusiastical-
ly applauded.
Mr.. Hoy has something definite to
say in the short suite which is one
of several compositions which he
has written. and says it in a thor
oughly individual way. A little
more somber hued than Mr..
Charles work, it shows intellectual
ity as we'll as originality. The young
composer was called forth from the
orchestra. where he plays the violin,
to acknowledge the reception given
his work. Mr.. Charles, who was
present in the audience, also was
called upon after each movement to
receive the acclaim accorded him.
Other novelties on the program
were the numbers sung by the wom-
ems chorus and by the mems chorus.
The latter gave the very lovely
Thanksgiving" by Grieg, with q
baritone solo effectively sung by Mr..
Paulsen. In the chorus from Haen-
del's "Rinaldo," "Now Cometh May"
the Women's voices were heard to
good advantage.
The orchestra, which at each ap-
pearance shows gain in smooth
ness and shading, gave a splendid
performance of the overture to Web
er's Der Freischutz," with which
the program opened. Chadwick's S
"Sinfonietta," which followed, lacked
somewhat in the finish of detail that
marked the overture, but in the two
works by Mr.. Charles and by Mr..
Hoy played with fine abandon and
carefully developed effects. The au-
thority of DR.. Bauer's directing was
felt at all times as we'll as the fine
musical feeling which he sought for
in each number.
The program concluded with
Strauss THE Blue Danube Waltz" !"
The attractive auditorium Of the
department was we'll filled with a
most attentive audience genuinely
appreciative of the interesting and
varied selections offered them.
