Feature Your Floors As You Do Your Films (Continued from page 9) is frequently sp:cified by leading architects and interior designers. Cork tile com?.s in three shades of soft brown. Each clor group has natural variations of shading which make possible a rich blending of all three shades. It is availabl" with squared edges or beveled edges. It is also made so that the cork can be extended up on the side walls of the room. This flooring lends itself to many interesting and tasteful decorative effects. Parquetry and marquetry patterns, medallions, inlaid herringbones and mosaic effects are made by cutting th? cork to size and by inserting figjrss cut from cork tile of contrasting shad:-s. Initial cost is somewhat higher than that of rubber tile flooring, but its long wearing qualities make it an economical luxury. Outstanding advantages of cork tile include its superelasticity. providing quiet and restfulness underfoot. Half of the substanc? of cork tile is air. which makes an excellent insulator, giving protection from heat and cold. It is not slippery, because cork grips any surface that is pressed again3t it: thus, wet or dry. it is safe. Cork also sheds moisture and cannot be stained. Its non-chip quality makes it very durable. Appiopnaie selection of flooring for the theatre will not only provide safety for the color and design, but silence as well, all of which enhance the theatre atmosphere. A flooring properly selected reduces maintenance cost and time; may outlive the theatre building in which it is housed and yot stay sparkling fresh to pay high dividends on the original flooring investment.

As for acid substances, these should be diluted with water and then the acidity should be counteracted by an application of an alkaline solution made from a table- .spoonful of ammonia or baking soda to a quart of water. After this has been applied it should be dried thoroughly and rins3d with water then dried again. Gum may be removed with reasonable ease by •freezing" it first then lifting it free. Rub ice on the gum to harden it, then lift or scrape carefully, using a dull knife or spatula. With the introduction of automatic drink-dispensing machines in theatres, another problem presents itself. Spilled syi-up beverages can play havoc with the carpeting around these machines. Place the dispenser on hard surface such as linoleum or tile, choosing a color to blend with the carpet. The wise theatre owner will do well to weigh his carpet selection carefully and to rely on the experience of the manufacturer in making his choice. Remember, too. that eye appeal is buy appeal and a well-kept theatre is the sign of a prosperous house. possible cost.
