The former New Zealand war artist, Mr Peter Mclntyre, of Dunedin, recently added to the extensive gallery of portraits of people of note he has painted. While the Old Vic Company was in Wellington, Mr Mclntyre painted Lady Olivier (Vivien Leigh) in costume in the role of Lady Teazle in “School for Scandal.” The painting was done as far as possible back-stage between acts. The same week, Mr Mclntyre completed a portrait of Miss Mary Wootton (Miss New Zealand), whom he also introduced to Lady Olivier. Mr Mclntyre is seen in the photograph at work on the portrait of Lady Olivier.
