A Studio Cottage Janet Gaynor's little cottage is the most picturesque in Fox Movietone City TLT OW would you like to live here? * ■*• This lovely little Irish cottage with its quaint thatched roof was originally built for John McCormick, the Irish tenor, when he portrayed the stellar role in "Song 0' My Heart" and is now occupied by Janet Gaynor, winsome Fox film player. The plan of the cottage is most unusual. Although it was built originally for a dressing-room, it adapts itself readily to a lovely little home. The combination reception room and library, with its book-lined walls provides rest and quiet for Miss Gaynor when she is not working on the set. The library opens into a large and sunny livingroom with its cosy little inglenook without which no Irish cottage is complete. The beamed ceiling in this room is whitewashed, in effect, and the same idea is carried out on the walls. The flagstones about the hearth give the proper atmosphere and on either side of the fireplace are comfortable seats, upholstered in rose printed linen. The candle sconces are of the Elizabethan period and the old Chinese plate hanging on Nc the wall is reminiscent of the first art treasures brought to Great Britain from the Orient. The rug is a braided rag antique. The furniture is maple and is simple and sturdy in design. The color scheme in this room is carried out in tones of tan, rose and green. Convenient to this room is a small kitchenette. The dressing-room is spacious and is done in a color scheme of Caspienne blue and white ; it is equipped with three ample-sized closets where Miss Gaynor keeps her costumes and other clothes she needs when on the set. Off the dressing-room is a bath and shower. Letters from readers of New Movie show a keen interest in homes of motion picture actors and actresses.
