    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Jan. 29, 2008 CONTACT: Matt Stevens [email protected] 626­405­2167 New Exhibition, “Smith on Wry: Jack Smith, Columnist for Our Times,” Opens Feb. 15, 2008 Huntington Library installation will examine the late journalist’s life and his impact on readers across Southern California SAN MARINO, Calif.—Los Angeles Times columnist Jack Smith wrote daily for most of his 42­year career with the paper, producing some 6,000 columns about life in the city. Along the way he became one of the most popular newspaper columnists in Southern California history; reading him was considered a daily “must.” He died in January 1996, just a few weeks after the appearance of his last column, on Christmas Day 1995. A new exhibition running at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens from Feb. 15 to May 12, 2008, takes a look at Smith the journalist, family man, and social commentator. The Huntington acquired Smith’s papers in 2005. “Jack Smith had a way of looking at mundane and everyday things and ruminating on them in ways that were accessible on the one hand and provocative on the other,” says Sara S. “Sue” Hodson, curator of literary manuscripts at The Huntington and the show’s curator. “His beat was L.A., but he wrote larger stories of the human condition, wry and pithy observations on the foibles of people in changing times.” Hodson takes a page from Smith’s own columns, dividing her exhibition into the very same themes Smith explored in his columns: his Mt. Washington neighborhood; his family and household, including a passion for birds and disdain for cats; and his vacation house in Baja, with its incomparable landlord, Mr.

Situated on the highest peak in Newark next to Branch Brook Park, the French Gothic structure covers 40,000 square feet, an area equal to that of London’s Westminster Abbey. It is larger than the renowned St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City. Sacred Heart Cathedral was built over a 55-year period, beginning at the turn of the century. The land was purchased in 1871 for $60,000. The cost of the edifice, initially estimated at $1 million, rose to $18 million. Most of the funds were raised through large donations and church collections throughout the Archdiocese. It was dedicated on October 19, 1954. The Cathedral Basilica features hand-carved decorations of wood, stone, and marble imported from countries around the world. Its stained-glass windows, crafted in Munich, Germany, are considered among the finest in the world. The fourteen bells in the west tower were cast in Padua, Italy, and tested by Vatican bell experts.
