AMERICAN GAINS FAME

Vance Thompson's Paris Letter 10
the New York American.-Andrew
O'Conner, the young American sculp-
tor, can say, like Byron, that he awoke
one day and found himself famous.
The exhibition of his works in the
Galerie Hebrard in the Rue Royale
was inaugurated by the under-secre-
tary of the state for fine arts, and the
government has purchased a bronze
model of the door of ST. Bartholomew
church in New York, which was made
as memorial to Cornelius Vanderbilt.
In addition, bronze replica of O'Con-
nor's statue of Commodore Barry,
which he erected in Washington, has
been ordered for the Luxembourg mu-
scum
This official recognition has been
supplemented by an unprecedented
enthusiasm on the part of the press
and public. Thiebault Sisson, the
leading art critic of France and the
friend and biographer of Ruskin, COM
pares the young American sculptor to
Michael Angelo and Rodin, adding:
He has, however, a profoundly per
sonal note"
Other critics praise the calm SPLEEN
dor of his work and impeccabIe
execution. O'Connor is more surprised
than anyone at this sudden leap into
fame 1t is now probable that the
entire exhibition will be taken to the
United States. The three pieces
which are attracting most attention
are "Graal' "A Young Slave" and
Strength Overcome by Beauty"
New York will remember O'Connor
as the man who in 1896 had a studio
IN MacDougaH alley, where he ex-
hibited model of j. P. Morgan's
private library building resting on
two barrels and where his presence
and works were only known to the
elect.
