...Thayer rooms will have enlarged closet space, flush doors, and harmonious decoration. Bulletin boards, fire extinguishers, and public telephones will be combined in the decor...
Angelic Host. Quiet and intense, Wieland differs from his tempestuous grandfather in temperament, but not in artistic outlook. Both stagecraft innovators in their day, Richard liked his opera gorgeously colored and realistically detailed; Wieland likes to keep his decor schematic and sparse, consisting more of lines and lights than of wood and canvas. Traditionalist critics sometimes say that he keeps things simple out of a lack of imagination, or to save money. But his latest production looked as if it might convert the last holdouts among the traditionalists; almost certainly the Old Man would have been one of the converts...
...much argued question which rarely gets answered. Yet, this jury did well. First prize went to Jose Buscaglia for his sculpture ". . . of an Inspiration." Sculptors too often suffer the fate of going unnoticed in an exhibition of paintings, as if their contribution was to be taken as decor, and it is good to see first prize go to a sculpture of remarkable proficiency.

Dedicated last week, the $1.5 million, six-story-high structure seats 800 people in a Gothic-spirited interior with a steel-reinforced frame standing out as part of the decor.

It is the first church designed by Skyscraper Architect Wallace K. Harrison (U.N. Building, Rockefeller Center...
...colored villas of Miami, Bill indulges his passing whims (e.g., water skiing and skindiving). Visitors make him nervous as they leave burning cigarettes on expensive table tops and track sand on lush new carpets, stare at his specially commissioned mural of knights in armor, gawk at the somber black decor of the master bedroom with its giant closet of 40 suits, or at the bookshelves stocked only with Racing Form chart books. Hartack walks around the house like a new bride, emptying ashtrays, positioning furniture, fidgeting over the least speck of dust. He is strictly an afternoon-and-night...
