Nomerama Movie Offers
Ideas for Home Decorators
The home decorator can profit
by seeing how movie set designers
use color in adding vitality to in
teriors. Color now is even used
to aid in telling the story of the
way you live within your four
walls.
This innovation is introduced
in M-G-M’s filmization of Cole
Porter’s musical hit, “Silk Stock
ings,” starring Fred Astaire and
Cyd Charisse, showing tonight at
the Nomarama Theater. Here, the
designers have made the picture’s
“color scheme” part of the plot
and a factor in action and dia
logue.
In “Silk Stockings,” the ro
mance between Astaire and Miss
Charisse and the evolution of the
later from the drabness of a Rus
sian Commissar into a glamorous
Parisian beauty is illustrated
through change of colors and fab
rics on sets.
In the early sequences of the
story, the backgrounds are done
in monotones of gray, off-white
and mild cream. Gradually they
merge into pastel color of roman
tic pinks, delicate mauves, violet
and orchid. And, finally, they
burst into warm rose, gold and
rich champagne tones, with the
walls of the Paris rooms done in
gleaming satin instead of the us
ual paint or wallpaper.
The innovation in movie decor
is known as “psychological dec
orating.”
First Canadian Missile
Fired In Field Conditions
CHURCHILL, Man., UP) — The
first Nike-Hercules guided missile
over fired in Canada blasted into
the sub-Arctic sky Friday near
this snowswept town on the shore
of Hudson Bay. It was launched
by a 75-man Canadian Army
team with American aid.
The missile, launched in 25
be'ow-zer weather thrugh a haze
of wind-blown snow, made a suc
cessful simulated interception of a
plane 30.000 feet over the frozen
tundra about 85 miles east of the
launching site.
Preparations had been going on
for more than a year. The sched
ule calls for firing a series of six
rockets.
Last week’s shoot was the first
anywhere under actual field con
ditions. At the Churchill range
the rockets are “cold soaked” —
left outside for as long as 14 days
in sub-zero weather.
BALTIMORE, UP) — The Mar
tin Company says the latest flight
of one of its Mace missiles has
proved its all-weather capability.
The missile, which can carry a
nuclear warhead, roared 650 miles
through a snowstorm from Ala
mogordo, N. M., to Wendover Air
Force Base, Utah. A spokesman
*or Martin said the TM67B stayed
on course all the way and struck
the target area.
The Mace will replace the Mar
tin Matador at overseas bases
within a few months.

Pearl Wanamaker
Wins $145,000 Libel
Suit Against Lewis
WASHINGTON. Wt — A federal
court jury Saturday awarded Mrs.
Pearl Wanamaker, Seattle educa
tor, $145,000 damages in her libel
suit against radio commentator
Fulton Lewis Jr.
It was the biggest libel judg
ment ever awarded by a jury in
the District of Columbia.
The jury, after a nine-day trial,
found Mrs. Wanamaker had suf
fered substantial damages as a
result of a nation-wide broadcast
by Lewis on January 6, 1956.
In the broadcast, Lewis mistak
enly used Mrs. Wanamaker’s name
in speaking of a woman whose
brother he said had ducked be
hind the Iron Curtain and re
nounced American citizenship.
Lewis also criticized her role
in the 1955 White House Confer
ence on Education and discussed
her reversal of the suspension of
a Tacoma sohol counselor who had
refused to answer questions posed
by the House Committee on Un
American Activities.
The jury found Lewis had not
acted with malice, and it did not
award any punitive damages.
Mrs. Wanamaker, 60-year-old
former superintendent of public
instruction in Washington State,
tears welling in her eyes, called
the verdict “a vindication.”
Lewis himself had no comment,
but his attorney Roger Robb,
called the verdict “outrageous.”
Asked if he planned to appeal.
Robb replied, “Yes sir.”
