...Fine Arts Theatre has on exhibit in its outer lobby some twenty paintings done by Laura Mackay, a women whose talent and technical ability cannot be disputed. Her land and sea-scapes are reminiscent of paintings executed by certain she fall into the dangerous rut of auction room impressionism, a frailty common among many artists who are painting today. Her piece entitled "Pines And Snow," contains a definite Corot-ish tendency; and Miss Mackay has, perhaps unconsciously, adapted Corot's facility for painting early morning landscapes in her won subject matter with success...

The colors are neutralized but are far from dirty; Dehn's whole technique is that of a careful, better-than-average artist...
