16 STAR MODEL HONE - FINAL OF SERIES E Rock Gables, at Redwood Terrace and East Beach Drive Opens Today. The 1929 Star model home demon- stration enters its last stage today with | the opening of Rock Gables, the sixth of the series of exhibition houses spon- sored this year by The Star and the Operative Builders’ Association. ‘This &lll!l!l stone dwelling, which shows the influence of the English gentleman’s farm house of the fifteenth and sixteenth sentugies, in Cotswold manner, is located at Redwood terrace and East Beach drive, in Rock Creek Park Estates, in the northern tip of the District, adjoining Rock Creek Park. Unusually distinctive in architectural outlines, construction, decoration and finishing, this house is the largest and most costly of the 1020 Star model home series, affording a subject of in- teresting study in modern home bulld- ing. It was bullt from plans by James E. Cooper, local architect, by the Wil- liam P. Lipscomb Co. for the Edison ‘W. Briggs Co., developers. It has been furnished for the exhibition, which will continue daily for & month, by W. & J. Sloane Co. ‘To_reach this house, drive out Six- teenth street to Kalmia road, left on the road into East Beach drive, then north to the intersection with Redwood terrace. Invitation in General. A cordial invitation to all interested in modern _home building to visit the house this afternoon or any day dur- ing the ensuing month by The Star model homes committee which has su- pervision over all the model homes. This committee consists of Monroe ‘Warren, president of the Operative Builders' Association; Maj. Donald A. Davison, assistant engineer commis- sioner in charge of building and zoin- ing: W. J. Waller, president of the Dis- trict of Columbia Bankers' Association; Ben T. Webster, president of the Wash. ington Real Estate Board; Horace W. Peaslee, president of the local chapter of the American Institute of Archi- tect, and Rufus S. Lusk, secretary of the Operative Builders' Association. Visitors to Rock Gables will find & large stone dwelling of two main floors, the predominate characteristics being its rugged outlines, fine finishing, un- usually thick and sturdy walls and gen- eral construction; the low, sweeping lines of the heavy slate roof; interesting stone gables, the deep “reveals” of the windows and doorways, the landscaping plan which includes a formal garden in the rear lot and the dignity of the gen- eral lines of the house. This house, which is more than 106 feet in width, contains eight main rooms, all of commodious size, four baths and an extra lavatory; in addition to un- usual closet space, storage room, two maids’ rooms, a three-car garage, base- ment of adequate size for the heating plant and other service features, & pan- try and cold closet. There is a heavy, covered porch at the left end of the building, a two-story rear porch with a roof deck serving the second floor and & stone terrace opening off the library. First Floor Attractive. Unusual interest and attractiveness is given the first floor by the three dif- ferent floor levels. From the entrance lobby, which is on the ground level with the front door, one finds two steps lead- ing to the main stairhall and to the left of this hall are two steps down to the great 1 room. This depression gives extra height to the living room. There is & great fireplace at the end of the living room, a second fireplace is found in the dining room, to the right of the stairhall, while there is a third in the master bedroom, over the living room. The house will be open today from 1 to 9 pm. and will be open week days during the next four weeks from 10 am. to 9 p.m. : Meanwhile, three other houses in the 1929 Star model home series, which were opened to the public at earlier dates, remain on exhibition and the public is invited to visit them as well as the Estates home. These are the English group house at 1573 Forty-fourth street, in Foxall, built by Waverly Taylor, Inc.; the brick colonial dwelling at 1347 Iris street, Shepherd Park, built by L. E. Breuninger & Sons., and the large, new England colonial house at 3307 Row- land place, Richmond Park, bullt by ‘William D. Sterrett.

Promote Industry. Because of rapidly-expanding foreign markets for American motion pictures and equipment, and desiring to expe- dite handling of the increasing amount of work occasioned, the Department of Commerce has created a motion picture division which will specialize in trade- promotion work, it was announced yes- terday. | Considerable attention also will be de- | voted to various phases of the domestic : industry and the interchange of indus- | trial and_ educational motion pictures | between European and American dis- | tributors. H Since July. 1926, when a definite and | official subdivision having jurisdiction | of the subject was established in the | Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com- merce, as a part of the specialties divi- ‘ sion, there has been an increasingly | growing demand from the moving pic- | ture industry for trade-promotion serv- | ices of all kinds, O. P. Hopkins, acting | director, pointed out. | Although the work is planned in co- | operation and with the assistance of the | industry which permits collection and | dissemination of much important in- | formation in advance of actual require- | ments, requests for special services have been steadily increasing and totaled ap- proximately 10,000 last year, an increase of 8,000 over the previous year. In announcing the creation of the new unit, Mr. Hopkins said that while statistics do not accurately record the dollar value of American film exports, it has been reliably estimated that the revenues from this trade reach many | millions each year with exports of mo- nn:;u picture equipment showing steady , gains. | In the past fiscal year there were nearly 5,000,000,000 passengers on Brit- 1sh street cars.
