New Home Designed
For Enlargement
As Income Grows
Plun of A. L. BIukesIee
Provides Space for
F Future Bedrooms

Another home for the family of
moderate income, which could easily
be enlarged as income becomes
greater, is featured this week in the
series of house plans made especially
for The Star by members of the
Washington metropolitan section of
the Maryland Society of Architects.
The plan this week was submitted
by Arthur L. Blakeslee, Silver Spring,
vice president of the section.
Somewhat formal in plan, it is
reminiscent of the French provincial
q architecture and has unlimited possi-
bllltles in interior decoration, and
furniture arrangement for small
family. The excellent proportioning
OF the design and the simplicity of
room arrangement combine to create
an atmosphere of dignity unusual in
small home planning.
The motivating thought has been
to provide sensible, attractive
scheme suitable for a small family,
but which will provide in the COM
modious attic space for future bed

closet and storage facilities.
Interior Vistas Outstanding.
Long interior vistas are outstand-
ing in connection with this plan and
makes it especially adaptable to the
charm of pastel color treatment in
the various rooms. An unusual, but
desirable and useful feature, is the
pantry separating the kitchen from
the dining room. This provides shelf
space for china and glassware and
alSo prevents odors OF cooking in the
kitchen from penetrating to other
portions of the house The staircase,
while convenient to the living room,
Goes not take away space which
would be needed for other purposes.
and is partly screened by the large
fireplace.
The front porch is so arranged
that by the installation of insect
screens in the arches it will become
practically part of the living
room, thereby increasing the ac-
commodations of that part of the
house, and by the use of glazed
sash in lieu of the screens in the
winter time it may be used as
sun porch or conservatory for
plants and flowers.
Part Basement Provided.
Laundry and heating plants are
located in a part basement under
the kitchen, but an entire basement
could be provided at slight addition
al cost.
The garage may be located away
from the house, or. if the topogra-
ply of the land permits. it could be
provided for in the basement.
The exterior walls may be cream
colored stucco on frame COR on
masonry for slightly more): brick
work preferably painted light in
Color: or rectangular cut stone. The
roofing may be color slate to har-
monize with the wall material.
Mr.. Blakeslee states that
reputable builder quotes the cost
of this design at current prices of
labor and materials as follows:
Stucco on frame, S6,050; stucco on
masonry, $3.50; brick walls painted,
$7,l50; cut stone, $7,45O. These
quotations do not include the cost
of the lot, but cover the inclusion
of nationally known and approved
products in the construction of the
building.

STRAND

Ending this evening at the popu- lar Warner Bros Strand theater is the tuneful comedy That's Right You're Wrong" with Kay Kyser and his band, Adolphe Menjou and a big cast of topnotch performers; also Geraldine Fitzgerald in "A Child Is Born.r
 "The Hunchback of Notre Dame, " judged as the most tremendous screen spectacle in decade comes to the Strand tomorrow afternoon as the headliner of the. fine twin bill to be seen and enjoyed for the next four days.
 Weird, wonderous, unbelievable is this brilliant screen transmutation of Victor Hugo's renowned novel of the same name. For more than a century it has moved the worlds millions and now it comes to life on the screen in a mighty mobilization of every kind of thrill in the history of the theater.

STATE

After a triumphant seven-day engagement the hilarious action packed film, 'The Fighting 69th" with James Cagney, Pat O'Brien and George Brent in the starring roles comes to close this evening at the Warner Brothers State theater. In- cluded on the same program is Calling Philo Vance" with James Stephenson.
 From the pages of Rudyard Kip ling's vibrant action-romance, "The Light That Failed, comes great motion picture of the same name made mightier by the years most sensational cast.
 Warmers State theater proudly presents this great picture tomor- row afternoon, the opening day of its four-day engagement, with Ron- aid Colman, Walter Huston, Ida Lupion and Dudley Digges in the leading roles.
 This film marks Colman's first starring vehicle since his recent suc- cess in If I Were King" and ac- COKuulS tO dutd11CC 1CpOA No 4AC 40 VAAO of the leading contenders for the Academy Award due to his splendid performance in this picture.
 The picture has plenty of thrills and reaches dramatic heights which have been equalled seldom in motion pictures. It is the story of a great artist and adventurer, played by Colman, who is driven to despair by the coolness of his sweetheart, also an artist, who is jealous of his suc- cess. He decides to paint symbolic portrait of a woman, called "Mel- ancholia" to show up a similar painting the girl is making. For his model he selects guttersnipt named Bessie.
 An old wound causes the artist tt lose his sight. He finishes the pic ture just before total blindness sets in. Bessie, who does not understand him, fears him and is e1raged be- cause she feels he broke up her TO- nance with the artists friend, de- stroys the painting.

Kisses Range From Ecstasy To Pure Business
 Among Movie Hefoines Fred MacMuray Knows
They're Alike In One Way All Wonderful
BY PAUL HARRISON NRA Service Stan Correspondent

Hollywood-Fred MacMurray is 9 pretty shy fellow, so was surprised when he got to talking about kiss ing. Thinking back on the occasion: though, I realize now that Fred may not have been quite himself at the time, because he had just finished pinning few nice ones on Jean Arthur for scene in "Too Many Husbands"
 'sThe Kankakee Kisser!" mrr- nnured your correspondent, maybe a little enviously, as MacMurray Rroped his way off the set and re- faxed. "Say, you've had quite a lot of variety in the bussing busi- ness since you came here, haven't you?"
 "Yeah," sighed Fred, "and they're all wonderful. (Meaning his leading ladies.) Then, in an ef- fort to be academic about 1t, he added, And they're all different too"

SOULFUL SMACKS FOR MADELINE

With some proddtng, he went on to explain a few oSculatory con- trasts and details. With Made leine Carroll, for example, he got his best results with the soulful smackeroo - ethereal, moonlight and-roses stuff. Carole Lombard on the other hand, likes 'em rap- ttsrous and enthusiastic. Fred can do that, too.
 Louise Campbell is proper sort of gal who likes her kisses to be formal. MasMurray put on his Ascot tie, bowed low, tried to remember how Herbert Marshall would act under such conditions, and went to work. It came out swell. Barbara Stan wyck is something like t hat - equally deliberate, anyway, though more thorough.
 Movie kisses mean little in the life of Frances Farmer. Hers had to be casual - scort of off-the-el- bow in spirit, MacMurray discov- cred. Gladys Swarthout is an- other, he learned, who prefers good health salad to kiss in front of camera.
 Miss Arthur is just the opposite Extremel y shy offstage, she parks her inhibitions when the camera beCins to roll. Kisses must mean something. She believes kiss is better than a hundred endearine words of dialog. Wesley Ruggles is a meticulous director who makes lots of retakes, and in "Too Many Husbands" there are lots of kiss. ing scenes. The stout-hpped Mac. Murray is bearing up very well but he's grateful for all his year: of saxophone playing.
 IT'S A BUSINESS
 WITH ANN SHERIDAN
 The actor discovered that Jear , Parker likes her amorous sa lutes on the tender big-brotli erish side. The gentleman iron Kankakee obliged. Ellen Drew fresh from the extra ranks wher he-ah-met her on the set, alst preferred the informal variety, but with more-than-platonic enthu. siasln.
 I was a little disappointed in what he had to say about Ann Sheridan. She seems to be defi- nitely in the objective class while kissing for the customers, she doesn't forget for an instant that she's acting. Claudette Colbert, I gathered, is 8 happy medium (for MacMurray, any way) between realism and make believe. You might call her kisses empirical.
 The actor found Katharine Hep. burn as unpredictable in oscula. ton as in temperament. The es' thetic kiss was preferred, but 1 had to be. a thing of beauty-anc camera angels. A kiss to Sylvis Sidney, he learned, is just smack and let's get 1t over with, please Miss Sidney helped Fred perfec what he calls his peck-and-rur technique.

INV YOEk-O1e Of the largest
movements OF goldl in the history
of the world vas undertaken dur
ing the last few weeks. Although
deepest secrecy surrounded these
shipments, insiders state that most
Of the vaults of the Bank OF Eng

gold and that held for account OF
French. Belgian and Dutch banks.
All of IL was sent 10 Canada for
eventual transfer to the United
States.
Which is one of the reasons why
our gold holdings recently passed

the United states now holds SONS
90 per cent OF the worlds none

To the well-informed the move

government las virtually given up
hope of defending the British Isles
successfully snd that it expects to
follow its worldly possessions at
least as far as Ottawa when the
Germans put London in actual
jeopardy. British official sources
vehemently deny any such inten-
tions, of course and their military
leaders insist firmly but somewhat
vaguely that successful invasion
of the island kingdom is impossi-
