Bemarbled

A vast club begilt and bemarbled is the modern temple.

Not till many years later did labor skates compete with modernistic, beglassed, bemarbled headquarters for their greater glory.

Interiors could be of the elegant, graduated pastel-hued Streamline Moderne variety – like the Muswell Hill Odeon (well maintained today) and the Woolwich Odeon – or they could be baroque extravaganzas, like the Tooting Granada (1931; conceived as a neo-Gothic cathedral by its creator, Theodore Komisarjevsky), or the Gaumont State in Kilburn, George Coles’s 1937 begilt, bemarbled and bejewelled palais.
