Show . x Third of April Art Show Is Work of Utah Artists the favorite meeting place for Sunday Sun-day crowds from all parts of the state as well as for evening visitors visi-tors and individual daily tourists. As many or more visitors are listed on the official registrar this year as in any previous period. As the exhibit is just slightly more than half over, there will be hundreds more who will' see the pictures before be-fore the closing April 30.
