Local Paintings Win Appreciation

The Marietta Daily Times, June 19, 1944

More than 100 appreciative guests attended the art exhibit sponsored by the students of the A. James Weber School of Painting held Sunday afternoon and evening in the Catholic Community Center club rooms. The exhibit comprised 50 pictures, including landscapes, still life, and flower studies.

Several of the landscape paintings depicted various familiar scenes in Marietta and views of the Ohio River.

Students exhibiting work at this time included Mrs. R. Douglas Pinkerton, Mrs. Bertha Hamilton, Mrs. W. V. Hayes, Mrs. Fred B. Garman, Mrs. S. M. Thurlow, Miss Julia McMorris, Miss Alice Hamilton, Miss Clara McEvoy, Mrs. Robin S. Baker, Mrs. J. Ellis MacDonald, Mrs. Frances Mason, and Mrs. Carolyn Bennett.

Due to the wide interest shown, the exhibit will be continued through today and townspeople are invited to call at the Community Center at 7 o'clock tonight. 

Out-of-town guests attending the exhibit yesterday were Mr. and Mrs. William T. Beam of Moundsville, W. Va. and Mrs. Stanley Wallace of Des Moines, Iowa.
