TO THE ART EDITOR:

Wo enclose publicity material on our Exhibi­

tion of Painting and Sculpture from Sixteen American

Cities, which v/ill open to the public December 13, 1933,

and close January 1, 1934. The material is as follows:

1. A general release (mimeographed) which is being sent to newspapers and publications all over the country.

2. A special release (typed) which refers specif­ically to the artists in your city or locality who have paintings or sculpture in the Sixteen Cities Exhibition. This release gives all the facts we have concerning the local artists and is being sent to the newspapers in your locality.

3. A photograph or photographs which we are send­ing exclusively to you, although we cannot guarantee that the artist himself will not give photographs of his work to some other newspaper in your locality if that newspaper requests him to do so.

May we suggest that as a matter of local in­

terest it might bo well to get a news story with photo­

graphs of one or more of the artists in your locality

who are being honored by representation in our Exhibi­

tion? The show is arousing considerable interest in

New York and throughout the country, and should appeal to

th pride of the citizens in each of the Sixteen Cities

from which the Exhibition is drawn.

Publicity Secretary.

NOTE RE WALiACE HERNDON SIwITH

>

Pa both Mr* Smith and his wife are members of prominent St* Louis faml3ies and were until rooent3y active socially, a good news story and interview might be written around Mr* Smith's partial retirement from socia} and business life to devote himself seriously to painting* Mr* Smith was Presi* dent of The Triangle ^lub at Princeton and his wife Is a Vassar graduate*

The Museum would prefer that you do not mention it as the source of the suggestion for news story and interview.
