Venetian Blue Paint Life Saver for Room

BV ELIZABETH CLARK Times Staff Writer TUDOR furniture has been having a hard time of late making itself a place in the sun of the average modern apartment, and with good reason. It does not take a woman who has crammed up on “Interior decoration" until she can reel off yards of rules on color and dados to see that there is something pretty incongruous in these handsome caved oak pieces dumped down in the setting given by uncomprising pastel plaster walls. And plaster walls are the flair of most apartment dwellers. Now, however, things are looking up for the Tudors. And apartment houses have not gone in for oak paneling either. The plaster still is there, but a clever decorator has solved the problem. It was done by turning a corps of painters loose with buckets of Venetian blue paint—that vivid color that Raphael put into the robes of his Madonnas. If you are up on your Raphaelite painters, you know the shade. OR there are the fuchsia tones which are panicking the decorative field just now. It only takes a woman who is tireless in checking up on tones with her painter to get grand effects with them. But if they are what you are looking for. there should be no slapdash brushing on of paint, or you may find that you have merely gone “arty” i n a Greenwich Village attic manner.
You would be surprised at what this painting dodge does to obdurate walls. Try it and you will want to rush off for a whole truck load of oaken trappings of the sort that flourished in Mary Tudor’s day. What’s more, *they are bound to look grand and you can not get away from the fact that the man of the house will feel at home with them. Put the thought of all feminine fripperies in this room out of your mind. Straight-hung draperies of damask or rep and lusty upholsteries are what you want if the living room is to be a success. U v* n IF there is no man of the house, or if you have a sitting room all your own, that is the place for frills and gay chintz ruffles.
Even a tiny space can be made charming without appearing crowded if you are choosy about picking the things that are to go into it. First, a love seat, to take the place of the larger divan; a small maple secretary in which to lock the family budget book and your diary, if you are a record-of-daily-events sort of person. There should, of course, be a pair of comfortable chairs and a table from which to serve coffee or tea when intimate friends drop for a chat. BENEFIT TEA AND SHOW SCHEDULED A musical tea and style show will be presented in the L. S. Ayres auditorium at 2 Saturday, under the auspices of the August calendar group for the benefit of the North Methodist Episcopal church. Mrs. Roscoe Buntner is general chairman. Bride-Elect Honored Mrs. William Schindledecker, bride-elect, was guest of honor recently at a bridge party and miscellaneous shower, given by Mrs. Thomas A. Stewart, 1121 Park avenue.

Suitable for Sea A ground-cover plant suitable for growth along the seashore is the portulaca, an annual which can be grown from seed. It is not weakly under strong sun.

The rich colors of this Tudor living room with its Venetian blue walls are accented by the pottery and brass what-nots and the bindings of the books in the Welsh dresser. A large oak gateleg table (not shown) at the other end of the rocm in front of a window may be used for dining purposes. Apple-green flowered chintz on love-seat and Cape Cod wing chair, white organdy curtains under chintz draperies, amusing silhouettes and light maple furniture make a charming and feminine sitting room.
Contract Bridge
This is the tenth of a series of articles by William E. McKenney describipß the One over One system of bidding at contract bridge. BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League THE advantages of the one over one forcing bid are many, the most important of which are: 1. It can be made, even though holding normal support in the original bidder’s suit, in an endeavor to fill a missing suit for the original bidder in case he desires to play the hand at no trump. The original bidder’s suit can be supported on the next round of bidding. Let us say that the original bid is one heart; partner bids one spade, even though he holds support for hearts. The original bidder now bids one no trump, denying spade support, showing a minimum hand and not a strong heart suit. Partner now can support the heart suit if desired, even to making a sign-off bid by simply bidding two hearts. This shows a willingness to play the hand at hearts, even with the knowledge that the original bidder’s suit is only four cards in length. 2. It allows you to arrive at larger partial scores.
3. It quickly and safely gets you into successful no trump contracts. It is quite natural that, if the original bidder opens with a suit bid of one, he has that suit well protected and probably a second suit protected. When partner makes a one over one, he announces another suit well protected, and in the majority of cases some side strength. It naturally follows that if partner has no support for the suit named by the original bidder and the original bidder has no support for the suit named by partner, either they should play the hand in the second suit which will be named by one or the other, or. if their side strength is in different suits, the proper declaration is no trump. 4. As the one over one forcing bid can be used with powerhouse hands as safely as with minimum hands, due to the fact that the original bidder is forced to keep the bidding open, it is a tremendous weapon against the opponents.
u a a UNDER the ordinary system of contract bidding, the original bidder, we will say, opens with one club. If partner overcalled with one heart, he would be announcing a weak hand—one not strong enough to jump to two hearts. But when the one over one forcing bid is used, a bid of one heart over one club might signify a minimum opposite a minimum, or it might mean two power house hands. The left hand opponent of the player who has made the one ever one forcing bid is afraid to step in with a fair hand for fear that he will be between these two power house hands. It is not until the second round of bidding that he knows whether

the two hands are minimum, and it is generally too late for- him to bid, as his partner naturally will take his bid 4 after a pass as a very weak bid. 5. Doubtful slams will not be bid, due to the fact that the full strength of the hand can be shown before the bidding gets too high. A jump shift bid may be made even on the second round and still not force the contract into the slam zone. However, I want to warn the beginner at contract bridge not to jump to the conclusion that there is a game in the hand simply because partner has made a one over one forcing bid. This forcing bid simply asks the original bidder to give more detailed information about the hand, and minimum hands should make a sign-off bid at once.

Hollywood Pokes Fun at Itself in a Smart Movie
Universal Had the Sense to Give the World a Laugh at the Expense of the Industry in “Once in a Lifetime.'’ BY WALTER D. HICKMAN WHAT “The Washington Merry-Go-Round” does to the political game, “Once In a Lifetime" does to the movie industry. Hollywood pokes fun at itself, shows up many of the silly extravagances of the industry, thumbs its no6f at itself in grand contempt and then throws you as a member of the audience right in the aisle as you yell with delight. “Once in a Lifetime” on the stage really gave Hollywood and the movies a blackeye in a comedv way. No serious damage was done, but people started laughing at the silly goings on of the movie colony in “Once in a Lifetime.” It took lots of nerve for Universal to poke fun at
itself, but the company has done it magnificently, the result being a comedy delight that actually makes or.e think seriously about this “silly business” hours after you go home. You know that I do not care for Jack Oakie as a rule, but as the dumbbell vaudeville actor who goes “grand” and even more dumb as a movie executive, Oakie scores so heavily that I believe it must have been weak former vehicles which
prevented him from scoring a good performance. The cast has the services of Aline MacMahon and this woman always gives me a lot of laughs. I have never seen her do anything poorly. So you see I confess my weakness. Sidney Fox, Russell Hopton. Zasu Pitts, Louisa Fazenda, Gregory

Ratoff and Onslow Stevens all help to show up some of the shame and foolishness that went on when the talkers first hit Hollywood. “Once in a Lifetime" has been intelligently directed and the director has spared none of the sacred cows on the lot. He didn’t even exclude the directors and the film executives.
You probably have seen movies that have given the bird to the industry and I think you will rate this one very high. I do. On the stage, Britt Wood, with his harmonica and his boob ways, easily leads the procession. He is the best when it comes to playing the harmonica on the stage today. He makes a classic out of “My Hero” from “The Chocolate Soldier.” He stopped the show cold when I was present. Marshall Montgomery becomes more of an expert as a ventriloquist each season. He plays an harmonica and whistles at the same time. The Vanderbilt Boys go in for eccentric harmony. The act pleases. The remainder of the bill impressed me as just so so. Now at the Lyric. a a Other theaters today offer: “The All American” at the Apollo, “Washington Merry-Go-Round” at the Indiana, “Cabin in the Cotton” at the Circle, and “Faithless” at the Palace.
