Murals At Davis Libraries On display at the South Branch of the Davis County Library in Bountiful are two murals painted by Artist LeConte Stewart over 50 years ago. These two murals were in the Ben Lomond Hotel in Ogden, hidden under a thick layer of wallpaper for mahy years. ACCORDING to Anton Rasmussen, director of the Bountiful Art Center, the murals were found and restored earlier this summer. It all began when Mr. Rasmus- said he and sen some colleagues were going to Og- den to see a mural Mr. Stewart had painted in a church there. Before they left, Mr. Stewart told them that he had also painted two murals in the Ben Lomond Hotel in Richard Eubank will again be teaching a THE paintings included one scene of the witches from MacBeth and another of Mark Anthony pursuing Cleopatra down the Nile. The murals were commissioned in 1923 by Dorthea Browning to be dbne for the Bigelow Hotel, now the Ben Lomond Hotel. Mrs. Mary Muir, art historian for the Bountiful Art Center, said Mr. Stewart worked on the paintings at night and on weekends after teaching art during the week days. TWO OF the original sketches have been found, but Mrs. Muir said the preliminary sketches are still at large, np workshop in Origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, through the of Utah program. Beginning on Wednesday, Oct. 12, the class will be held each Wednesday from p.m. through Nov. 9.

Mr. Eubank, who learned art while living in Japan, explains that the class will be the an introduction to the basic classical tradition of Origami utilizing fundamental shapes such as birds, hats, boxes and flowers through folding and will forming paper, and then the of some into proceed variations of those shapes. THE ART of Origami is for people of all ages and interests who enjoy expressing themselves by making objects of beauty with their hands and can be especially valuable for school teachers, church instructors, scout leaders, and others working with groups. There are no age requirements for attending the class. Students may at the Davis-Universi- of ty Utah complex, the Bountiful Art Center, or through the of Continuing Division Education on the University campus. For information please call 1927. Mr. Rasmussen became very interested, and made some calls and located one of a few remaining people who was a member of the hotel staff at that time. He was told the murals had been painted over. This gave them hope that they still may be found and restored, but they really did not think they would be there. THEY WENT to the hotel and were taken to the room where the murals had been. It had since been wallpapered, in one part of the room, a piece of the molding was coming loose. They lifted it off and found underneath a large piece of canvas. Mr. Rasmussen said, You can imagine our excitement at seeing these little dots that are characteristic of Mr. Stewarts work. A professional restorer was hired, the murals were taken down from the walls along with the wallpaper and moved to a studio. Here they were put on new canvas and stretched on frames where the wallpaper was taken off.
