Articles dealing with the statueI'd like to thank Joyce for suppling me with a number of the articles.
Number 1 is from the Portsmouth Herald of April 6, 1899 and states that there is a plan to make a statue of Maude Adams. Number 2 is from the North Adams Transcript of May 4, 1899, and by this time it's obvious that there is a definite plan to make a golden statue of her. Number 3 is from the Brooklyn Eagle of July 15, 1899 and includes the weight of the statue. Number 4, from The Sandusky Star of August 7, 1899, shows that things were moving along on the plans to make the statue. Number 5 is from The News (MD), March 22, 1900, and by this time the statue has actually been made. Number 6 is from The New York Times of the same date and is a much more complete article. Number 7 is from The Times Democrat of April 6, 1900. Number 8, from The Daily Review, April 10, 1900. Number 9 is from the Brooklyn Eagle of Dec. 11, 1900, about how the statue will be on display in a carpet store. Number 10 is from the Brooklyn Eagle of Dec. 12, 1900 and has a lot of information on the statue. Number 11 is from the New York Times of Dec. 21, 1900. Number 12 is from The Brooklyn Eagle of Dec. 28, 1900. Number 13 is from the Brooklyn Eagle of Jan. 2, 1901 and is doubly interesting since it talks not only about the statue but about Maude Adams herself playing in L'Aiglon. Number 14 is an ad from the store with a notice about the statue. Although the store is described as a "carpet store" in articles, it looks like it's more a clothing store, or maybe even a general store type of business. Number 15 is from the Brooklyn Eagle of Nov.6, 1901. Number 16 is from the The Trenton Times, Nov. 7, 1901, by saying that the statue has been melted down. Number 17 is from The New York Times, also of Nov. 7, 1901.
