Controversial painting, "Apparition Over Los Angeles," which was given an award but was barred from the Los Angeles Museum exhibition as "too controversial" but was later hung at the California Art Club on April 18, 1932. The painting, by Barse Miller, pictures Angelus Temple with Aimee Semple McPherson Hutton in the Lady Godiva manner, in center, floating over it in clouds containing money bags. At one side is her husband, David L. Hutton, in blue suit and straw hat, and at the other is a woman resembling her mother, Mrs. Minnie "Ma" Kennedy.
