Dewey. Members from East, West,

Carr gives personal attention to de-
tails of a home to make it distinctly
your own and to interior color
schemes that are gratifying.
The Early American period was
carried out by the furnishings. in
antique, by Miss Joan Haley. This
house was acclaimed for its clever
living room wing set off from the
rest of the house by the hall.
Slightly lower than the main floor,
it was a large room which needed
no scaled-dcWn furniture to make
1t attractive. There was gay
playroom also. below stairs, fur
nished in old pine and red-checked
gingham.
Westmoreland Hills is a pleasant
place to live. Just at the District
line out Massachusetts avenue,
there is steady traffic flow to all
downtown points. Coming home to
Westmoreland, as soon as you round
the circle and go over the hilltop,
you are in the country, with trees,
hills and comfortable houses before
you.
The ninth house was a stone and
frame Colonial house at lis Abe
marie street, designed and built by
Edwin L. and Lois B. Taylor. They
make an excellent team. Inspired
choice of wallpapers and color
scheme made it distinctive house.
Unusual Room Plan.
The November house was in
Greenwich Forest, northwest of Be-
thesda. Set in forest. its warm,
rose brick walls, colorful f1agstone
walks and slate roof looked very
inviting just before Thanksgiving.
This house had an interesting
rotating plan which placed the
dining room directly facing the
entrance back of large center
hall, with living room and study
at the right, secluded from the rest
OF the house, and an unusually
large kitchen at the left. Upstairs
was the same arrangement around
a large, sunshiny hall. appealing to
the many who still like space in
halls and kitchens.
To finish the season The Star
Homes Committee selected one of an
interesting new group of houses
built by Waverly Taylor at 4737
Reservoir road in Dumbarton. This
Is one of five houses connected bv
a wall, which gives privacy and
also makes tho eyterior 6ecior of
the houses homogeneous.
This type house is planned to
offer an ideal arrangement for liv-
ing in Washington The house has
all the dignified formality that one
expects of smart town house and
at the same time the room arrange
ment, floor-length windows, garden,
porch and bright interiors give a
pleasant sense of nominees.

Fourth House in Spring Valley,


The fourth house was built by
w. C. and A N. Miller Co. at 1850
Fordham road, in Spring Valley. This
was smaller house. of seven rooms
and two baths, built of brick and
cleverly placed on lot with large
garden space in the rear which was
framed by plate glass picture
window in the living room It's loca-
ton in dogwood filled Spring Valley
made it doubiX attractive in early
May. With neW shopping center
nearby and quick access by bus on
Massachusetts avenue to all points,
this house was ideal for a busy
family. Its interior planning was
good with generous closets and USE
full arrangements for ease and ef-
ficiency.
The first warm weather greeted
the Wood Acres house which was
fifth on the list. At 7101 Massa-
chusettS avenue, in Maryland, one
of the Albert W. Walker properties,
1t was distinctive, stone Colonial
house, moderately priced containing
six rooms and two baths. Difficulties
we have all encountered in trying
to find a good small house, con-
veniently located at moderate price,
were overcome in this house. The
living quarters were gracious and
arranged for maximum planned use;
the housekeeping equipment was
efficient and so planned to be
handled by one person.
Colonial Home in Kenwood.
The next house. opened early in
July, was at I'll Norway drive.
KenWood, Md. This was a Colonial
house of old brick, with center
hall plan, which means ease of
operation for the housekeeper. 1t
had wide hall, with door opening
into the gardNl at the rear to keep a
cool breeze EoWing through the
house The living room. on the left
side of the hall, had windows at
front and rear. Adjoining was a
pine -paneled study and a covered
porch. The paneling featured a
new use Of white paint to finish the
wood. Random width boards were
carefully sanded and given a coat
of white paint, which was sanded
after it had dried.
This house was built by the Ken
nedy Chamberlin Co.
Out in Silver Spring the new de-
velopment, Seven Oaks. attracted
much attention early in August.
Adjoining Sligo Creek Park, it was a
pleasant retreat, offering good
seven-room brick house with two
baths, including a large recreation
room and built-in garage. Though
this house from the outside did not
appear large. it seemed to expand
on the inside because of good PLAN
ning-a vista through the living
room to a sun porch with many
windows ard a view of the pine
forest beyond and the clever use of
paper and paint colors which did not
break up the rooms. This house was
mentioned as more house for the
money by several authorities, and
its location, at ST Falkland drive
Silver Spring, adjoining the park
is one of its assets.

Silver Star Houses
For 1910 Are Fine
Group Of Homes
Standards Of Construction
High and Features
Are Distinctive
BY MARGARET NOVEL;.

Looking back over the Silver Star
houses of the last year it is gratify-
ing to realize that they represent
a varied and unusually fine group
with a wide price range, good plan
ming, fine locations and high con-
struction standards which the COM
mittee demands.
The first house of the year, opened
early in February, brought several
thousand people out in the first
week despite the fact snow and
fee covered approach roads. This
was a large house, with the dis
tinctive feature of being built on
a side hill at 1901 Upshur street
NV, overlooking Rock Creek Park,
so that the beloW-stairs area opened
onto a terrace which continued to
the park and the porches upstairs
were actually in the treetops.
Built by Paul P. Stone and
Avon Shockey, who are developing
the Crestwood area, this was a
Georgian-type house of quiet dig
nifty with a recreation room, de-
lightful study and many porches
to make it livable.
Ideal Small Home Built.
The second house in the series
was one of the finest moderate
priced houses shown in Washington
this year. A Colonial house. at 670l
Fairfax road, in Bethesda, Md, built
by Bowling & Gardiner, it was
noteworthy for excellent interior
design. which utilized every inch
of space wisely, giving good wall
space for furniture. fine closet and
storage room and happy feeling
of comfort
This was an ideal house for the
small family. The interior color
scheme was very attractive The
Hecht Co. furnished it cleverly and
completely, within budget. The
house attracted much attention

above the street, it was approached
on f1agstone steps through a mass
of crocus. The garden at the rear
of this house was bright with

The living room had a large bay
window which looked into the gar
den as did the master bedroom
above. The house was beautifully
planned for comfortable living, and
the detail of interior color and deco
ration made it unforgetable. Mrs.

unlikely that governmental priority
will soon prevail. With other build

will no doubt exist presently. Thus

architects not now in the industrial
field"

DEADENDER5 ARE SEEN { IN
 CAPITOL HIT
''CaII a Messenger" Play. ing for Last Times
 Here Tonight

Blazing their way across the screen in a double -barreled barrage of thrills and comedy, a pair of Dead End Kids and the Little Tough Guys" ends at the Capitol Theatre tonight in the new Uni versal film, Gall Messenger"
 For the two Dead End Kids, Billy Halop and Huntz Hall, the picture proves a definite stepping stone to higher screen prestige Running them a close second, however, are the lusty Little Tough Guys"
 The story concerns itself with the experiences of band of alley kids who are forced to take jobs as messenger boys with a great telegraph company to save one of their number from going to reform school on a burglary charge. How they fall for the charms of the pretty office manager, Anne Nagel, and literally break their necks try ing to show the girl what great workers they are, gives the drama a whimsical appeal. When the boys risk their lives to capture a band of gangsters led by Larry Crabbe, the lads prove their regeneration and confirm the confidence ac- corded them by Robert Armstrong, who gave the youngsters chance to go straight.
