WORK IN EXHIBIT
  Comment of New York art critics on the spring exhibition of the Academy of Design is of considerable local interest, since two Warren artists are represented. They are Gene Alden Walker's "beautifully executed picture of 'The Letter'" and Marion Sanford's "'Miss Chapin Working,' one of the most interesting things in the exhibition." Another writer dwelt on the fact that from more than 1,300 paintings only 241 were selected, no two by the same artist. Miss Walker's painting is one she did while in Florida and Miss Sanford's sculpture piece is a portrayal of the well known sculptor, Cornelia von Chapin.

  Jewell dusted off the sculpture section with: "I am bound to say that most of the sculptural pieces invite no more than a weary glance." Cortissoz was more enthusiastic: "There is the usual array of ably modeled heads, and occasionally a plausible design appears, like the somewhat heavy but still graceful Señora Pablo Saurez of J. Mortimer Lichtenauer." The Herald Tribune critic commended Edward McCartan's Miss Linda Lindeberg for its "distinction of style," Malvina Hoffman for her "moving" Paderewski: The Last Phase, Berenice Langton for her expressive Head in Marble. He described Marion Sanford's Miss Chapin Working as one of the most interesting exhibits.
