8919 146th Street Edmonton AB T5R OV7 Lawrence Adams 145 George Street Toronto Ont . M5A 2M6 Dear Lawrence , I notice ( of course ) from your latest Newsletter that " choreographer Paul Ibey has been working through the DCD archives to gather information for a production on Maud Allan , tentatively titled Where She Danced and intertwining the Salome legend with Maud's own life and the parallels between the two characters . " If the project gets beyond the talking stage , and if in your opinion the offer would be helpful and responsibly accepted , I would be prepared to loan the Salome outfit for such a production . The loan would not be without cost , because the ' decorations ' etc. would need to be repaired . The skirt need only be cleaned .. !!! Included would be a pair of shoes-- for minuscule feet . I assume that Paul Ibey has heard the Cherniavsky Trio recordings , and i would suppose he would use them in some way or other . If so , he has my permission to do so , provided he acknlowledges me as the source of the loan . If I can help in any other way with material , he has only to contact me . Is he aware that a Calgarian examined all my material ( . ( origiani diaries , letters etc. ) last summer , with a view to designing a three or four person play on Maud ? I know nothing more of the project as yet . I had a letter from an Australian who's hot on the trail of establishing a family relationship with Maud , who was visited by the woman's Allan grandmother in 1916 or so , in Scotland . But that's only half of the story , as the other half involves spiritualism .... If you are interested I can send you a copy of the tape she sent me about this and her research efforts . Maud Allan rather bores me now-- no longer infatuated .. !! But , any more sales of Did She Dance ?? ( No harm asking ) . Things are going better at this end . I would hope that 1993 will be better for all of us , and for Canada in particular . So I send you and Miriam all the Season's best . I refuse to send out Xmas cards , preferring to write . Thought I might as well do So now , for obvious reasons . Let me know any interest re above . Conveniji un Howroty
