Youngster’s Attention Caught By Lady Godiva

Photograph caption dated July 25, 1962 reads "Little 6-year-old Paola Wayne, Los Angeles, passing by such childhood favorites as circus clowns and puppets, casts a critical eye on another artistic form--Lady Godiva. The painting is one of more than 100 entries in one of Hollywood's most unusual art competitions. For two weeks, artists have been painting on the front of an eight-foot-high playwood (sic) barricade at 960 N. La Brae (sic) Ave. Paintings will remain on display until 3 p.m. Sunday, when they will be auctioned off. Proceeds will go to the Jeff Chandler Memorial Hospital Fund.
