AMERICANS A COLOR
MINDED PEOPLE
Because we are learning so fast
about the use of color that soon we
will be a successfully color-tuned
people is the opinion of Andrew Law­
rence, director of the Home Beautiful
department of the Bass-Hueter Paint
Company. He bases his deductions
on the great and growing interest in
color manifested by an increasing
number of both men and women.
It Is a color age. An age in which
color In vivid effects Is used so often
with success that the lack of its In­
telligent use is noticeable.
In proof of his theory that all the
.world is color bound. Mr. Lawrence
is giving talks on color over the air.
These broadcasts, while sponsored by
the Bass-Hueter Paint Company, are
not confined to color as applied to
paint. Mr. Lawrence calls his ser­
ies of talks "a color class” and gives
his llsteners-in pupils "home work,"
teaching them the fundamental prin­
ciples of color as applied to personal­
ity .achievement, dress and home de­
coration.
The fan mail from N. B. C.— the
network over which these broadcasts
may be heard every Tuesday morning
at 10:15— has been of a character to
prove beyond a doubt that people are
