What a picture! Del Rio, above, presides at luncheon in her beautiful modern home. Don't miss a detail of her unusual table. Right, Dolores serves her celebrated salad — and that's a dish of "blini" in the large platter.
BECAUSE he liked the groups of huge and ancient cedar trees on land in a canyon near the sea, Cedric Gibbons bought it and built a modernistic house there for Mrs. Gibbons, more widely known as Dolores Del Rio.

The long table in the dining room is made of a special glass that gleams like metal, and through it the greenyblue of the supports makes a modernistic pattern. Chairs of the same greeny-blue are upholstered in the
