Little Babbie" is to be reproduced
in gold for exhibition at the Paris ex-
position next year if certain admirers
of Maude Adams, the remarkably clev-
err little lady whose portrayal of this
unconventional person in THE Little
Minister was the sensation of the the
atrical season two years ago, have
their way.
Miss Adams was born in Salt Lake
City, and the residents of that place
are very proud of their talented young
townsWoman. They are anxious to dis
play her charms to the entire world
and her gold mining admirers have
made an offer to furnish bullion worth
$346,0O0 to reproduce Little Babbie.'
An agent is now in New York for the
purpose of negotiating for the design
ing and casting of a life size statue OF
Miss Adams in the golden rod metal
He has had an interview with Henry
A Lukeman but it proved unsatisfac-
tory. 1t is understood that the mer
who are willing to furnish the bullion
are under the impression that sculp.
tor should be glad to do the work fol
the glory which would attend it. Ow.
ing to differences of opinion between
the Utah miners and the sculptors OF
note on this question nothing has ye
been accomplished. At last reports
Miss Adams had not yet been consult
ed, neither had her manager. Mr. Froh
man, but a representative of the latter
. said that if the promoters of tht
scheme engaged a first class sculptor
Miss Adams would undoubtedly accep
the compliment paid her by the people
of her birthplace. But he thought she
, would prefer the statue to repreSen
her in the character of Shakespeare:
, heroine. rather than in the creation o
, a modern author, the place of eXhibi
ton being Paris, and the tastes O.
, PaTisians being classical first of all.
, The miners are not making gift o.
the $34600O in gold. They stipulate tina
; at the close of the exposition the stat
ue be turned over to them to BE cas-
into melting pot and reduced to goot
and lawful coin.
Hope is expressed by Miss Adams
!. friends in New York that the enter
prise will be successfully carried out
+ They argue that Miss Adams would
undoubtedly oppose the casting of :
T statue of herself by any of the young
sculptors. who would willingly accep
the commission without fee, but the!
believe the present difficulty can b.
, surmounted. The model must be read,
by Nov. ! and work is to be begun al
, soon as Miss Adams returns to New
York. The idea of the statue was sue
gested to the Utah miners by the per
son who promoted the enterprise which
resulted in the famous Montana silve
statue of Ada Rehan.
