DISTINCTIVE DUTCH BOY INTERIORS Sixth of a series of advertisements describing interiors deco rated with Dutch Boy white-lead and Dutch Boy flatting oil The Grand Ballroom of the Buffalo Consistory An interesting room in the new Scottish Rite building-- HaroldJewett Cook, architect --T. H. McElvein, decorator ASTRIKING feature of the Buffalo Consistory is the colorful deco ration on the walls and vaulted ceiling ofche Grand Ballroom.. This elaborate treatment was achieved almost wholly through the use of paint. Although the ceiling is intricate in design, little of its beauty is de pendent upon relief work. Colorful mural paintings form the dominant note, combined with intricate borders and a wealth of decorative detail. The basic tone in che ceilingis a warm lavender, with borders and conven tional motives in four shades of bluegray--although more than ten differ ent colots have been employed. The side walls and columns are notable for their lack of ornamenta tion. The decorator relied solely on the beauty of plain painted finishes to support and set off the lavish colors and delicate detail of the ceiling. This treatment demonstrates the adaptabil ity of paint as a decorative medium. The walls are treated in a light graygreen. The columns, eagaged columns and pilasters are painted a pale salmon pink. Both these colors possess exactly the same, light-reflective value--a fact ofspecial interest. The panel borders are m Russian blue--one ofthe colors found in the ceiling decoration. The dado is glazed down to a deep umber which harmonizes with die scheme of decoration. These interesting painted effects and those in other parts ofthe Buffalo Con sistory were obtained with paint made ofDutch Boywhite-lead aadDutch Boy flatting oil. This paint is especially suitable for interior decorating work since it can be tinted to any desirable color. And it produces a handsome flat finish which repeated soap-andwaeer washings will not mar.
