Distinction<br />
(Continued from page 26)<br />
fleeting areas surrounding the lighting<br />
fixtures.<br />
Azurite and midnight blue alternate in<br />
the practical plastic panels forming the<br />
dado below the murals, while to the rear<br />
of the latter these two blues are used to<br />
create the illusion of bold vertical fluting<br />
on the side wall before it joins the rear.<br />
The walls of the standee area are<br />
covered in the deepest blue in heavy plastic<br />
material that withstands much abuse before<br />
showing wear. Thus through the use<br />
of a great variety of blue tones in a restrained<br />
color scheme the whole expresses<br />
splendid unity.<br />
The decorative panels themselves are<br />
designed to appeal to the tastes of the<br />
majority of patrons through graceful, natural<br />
forms executed clearly in defined<br />
color contrast. There is a suggestion of<br />
scenic distance in the cloud motifs, while<br />
the leaf and flower suggestions which have<br />
proved popular eleswhere, add a needed<br />
embellishment here to the otherwise plain<br />
blocks of color in the rest of the auditorium.<br />
Shades of coral and blue are used in these<br />
figures against the off-white acoustic material<br />
of the walls.<br />
The artist has so styled the treatment<br />
that the panels have true character and<br />
add a definite air of distinction. Another<br />
quality of the room which may be commended<br />
is that it does not appeal exclusively<br />
to any age group. It is neither too<br />
gay nor too sedate in design and its color<br />
scheme is not too intense for the elders and<br />
is yet vibrant enough for the youthful patron.<br />
This kind of balance is hardly an accident<br />
and shows again what is meant by<br />
planning an interior for a definite purpose,<br />
in this case to please a majority of<br />
average city neighborhood moviegoers.<br />
The lobby of the Ezella is just as<br />
thoughtfully planned. A doorhigh dado of<br />
walnut paneling forms a rich and practical<br />
background for well-placed coming attraction<br />
posters and carries a trough at the<br />
top for indirect lighting around the room.<br />
Above the doors from the street and those<br />
to the auditorium are recesses in vibrant<br />
turquoise blue on which are painted motifs<br />
of flower and leaf forms in the same colors<br />
as those in the auditorium.<br />
Across the middle of the foyer is a<br />
wide architectural band of blue which is<br />
treated with similar leaf motifs around<br />
the large mirrors set near their bases. The<br />
recessed portions of the wall and ceiling<br />
are painted a soft coral-sand, a color of<br />
warm and flattering reflective qualities<br />
which women appreciate.<br />
The men's smoking room, the ladies'<br />
powder room, the standee areas, all are<br />
done with the same discernment and stimulating<br />
effect.<br />
