Power's Glass Wall Tells All

Semi-Nude Portraits of Ty And Linda Power Coming Up <ref> By ALINE MOSBY United Press Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD «P<ref>--Mr. and Mrs. Tyrone Power don't know it yet, but seminude portraits of them soon will be hanging in some citizen's living room. The American art galleries acquired the two paintings from a mysterious Mr. "X" today, and announced they would go on public auction July 20. In the paintings, both Ty and Linda are bare from the waist up. The gallery decided to bill the art works as "controversial." "They were included in the possessions of a man, and his attorney asked us to sell them," said auctioneer Arthur Goode. Big Controversy The attorney, Harry Umann, explained the Powers had ordered the paintings, but after a big controversy over defacements, the artist took them back. Mr. "X,' a "prominent person," acquired the pictures from the artist, Ernst Van Leyden. "If the Powers want the paint- ings they are welcome to buy them," said the attorney. The portrait of Linda is native-type painting. She's wearing a bandana over her hair, a brightly- colored skirt and a faint smile. Tyrone was painted with hair on his chest, blue pants, and a frown. Also on auction will be a 10-by- 20-foot tile mural which depicts the handsome profile's life. The tiles show Power as a movie actor (all credits listed) on tour with "John Brown's Body" and with Linda and their child. Handsome in Bar "The mural would be handsome in a bar," reflected the auctioneer. The mural was appraised at $1500 and $500 for the portraits.
