Change Color Of Your Walls If You're Blue, Can't Study
Paris—(UP)—When they have the blues, many people tend to run to the nearest dimly-lighted bar, with its dark red leather seats and black tables.
Jacques Fillacier, a young French painter, finds the problem not so single.
"Some colors," he said, "have a definite effect on personality and moods. Perhaps the person who seeks solace in a restaurant or bar decorated in red would recover much more quickly if he went to a place painted brilliant blue or yellow."
Fillacier, a member of the famed school of Beaux Arts in Paris, is going to one of Paris' largest insane syllables to try out his theories.
The young painter will start redecorating the whole place with an eye to the psychological and medicinal properties of color.
One of Fillacier's theories which would shock conventional educators, in that classrooms should be painted in strong dark colors instead of light cream or white tones.
"Deep soft red or a forest green should be conducive to learning," he said. "If you have light tones in a classroom, the student's mind wanders, whereas if he looks at a dark
surface he has to concentrate on the book in front of him."
"After six months, the doctors and I will make a survey to see in which classroom the students accomplish the most work," he said.
His experiments in color on the insane will include painting window panes blues, violets and green to see if color light affects different mental diseases.
In the insane asylum, called Ville-Edward, there is a special section for subnormal children. There Fillacier plans to paint one classroom a deep green and another a soft scarlet. The walls will be of those colors, with panels decorated with pictures
After the patient who enters the hospital starts to recover, Follacier proposes a series of different colored rooms which will accustom the patient gradually to normal balanced "color" life.
Showman Analyzes Psychology Profs Quickie Test Result: They're Nuts
New York,—(UP)—Paul Small, a Broadway theatrical agent, gave a quick psychoanalysis today of Northwestern university psychologists.
"They're nuts." he said.
Mr. Small was sore because of what the psychologists said about actors, who are his best friends.
The professors issued a report which said that "a good actor must have emotional and mental maladjustment." They also said that actors have leanings toward hysteria, split personalities, a tendency toward psychopathic deviations, and feminine interest patterns.
Mr. Small said it is obvious that
the psychologists who made the report are maladjusted.
"Anyone who would draw interest to himself with such ridiculous statements is a hammy extrovert of the first order," he said.
An actor would never do a thing like that. he added.
"It looks like a defense mechanism to me," the agent observed. Actors are the most normal people in the world.
And, he said he would match their I.Q.'s with those of the psychologists any day.
