delayed
United Press International
HOLLYWOOD — Universal Pic
tures announced it will delay the
start of “The Best Little Whore
house in Texas” until April 1981,
thanks to the recently concluded
actors’ strike.
The film was originally scheduled
to begin production last summer
with Burt Reynolds and Dolly Par-
ton in the starring roles.
Originally budgeted at $12 mil
lion — before the signing of
Reynolds and Parton — the screen
version of the hit stage play will now
cost at least $20 million, a spokes
man for the studio said.

Sculptor creates
cartoons in 3-D
United Press International
PROVIDENCE, R.l. — The sculptor cast sloppy joggers’ socks
and a toothy grin in the essence of President Jimmy Carter. For
Ronald Reagan, he molded an aging cowboy, gunbelt slung around
the knees.
“I call them character studies because they fall between the real
thing and a caricature,” said George Thomas Weare, 36, who
prefers to use the name “g Thomas,” with a small initial g and no
period after it.
Thomas, 36, decided to take the satire of political cartoons one
step further — into three dimensions with his four-inch-high silver
and bronze figures.
The Rhode Island School of Design instructor’s offbeat signature
is etched on the originals and the 250 registered reproductions he
plans to make of each figure.
“I tried to play up the predominant features and bring the spirit of
the person to the surface,” he said.
Thomas portrayed Carter as a jogger wearing sloppy socks,
enormous sneakers and running clothes stretched over a pot belly.
The face is familiar from the hairdo to the laugh lines around the
eyes and the teeth-filled grin.
Republican Reagan’s figure shows an aging cowboy, six-shooter
in hand and a gunbelt slung around the knees of western jeans. His
pigeon-toed feet cross the tips of worn boots showing more wrink
les than the cowboy’s weathered face.
Thomas spent a month and nearly $400 molding a caricature of
Carter as a three-dimensional approach to the political cartoons in
newspapers and magazines.
“It was not politically motivated. I just decided to start at the top
with the president,” he said.
A sterling silver version was hand-delivered to Carter by mem
bers of the Rhode Island delegation to the Democratic National
Convention. Thomas said he would do the same for Reagan, “but I
don’t think the Republican Party is aware” the sculpture exists.
Thomas, who studied anatomy for eight years, labored over
Carter’s figure and spent several weeks perfecting the cast used in
the “lost wax” method of casting silver and bronze sculpture.
“Reagan came along very quickly,” he said.
“Where the face is long you make it longer. Where features are
fat you make them fatter,” he said.
Thomas is working up similar character studies of Johnny Car-
son. He said his next major project will be a monument to the
“bravery and personal sacrifice” of the Americans held hostage in
Iran.
The photgrapher and painter who turned sculptor seven years
ago said he would donate the work. “I want Americans to remem
ber what happened. Our feelings should not be diminished by
time.”
Thomas said he used the signature “g Thomas” on a limited
edition work about four years ago “and the handle stuck.”
