‘The Artist’ proves silence is golden
Deaths Holley Lee
Holley Nash Lee, 66, died of a brain aneurysm on March 6 at Methodist University Hospital in Memphis, Tenn. A lifelong Corinthian, she was the daughter of the late Martha Helen and A.Y. Nash. She received her master’s degree in elementary education from Memphis State University. Upon returning to Corinth, she served on the board of trustees of the First United Methodist Church, was an enthusiastic Girl Scout troop leader, and was an active volunteer with the American Cancer Society. Holley Lee’s calling in life was to befriend everyone she met. She was loving, wise, funny, strong, fiercely loyal, and yet tender. She loved unconditionally. She was never too busy to listen; her compassion and empathy for others allowed all to feel at ease in her presence. In addition to Spencer, her devoted husband of almost 49 years, survivors include her children, Ginger and husband Ben Sharpe and Allan and wife Kathryn Lee; her grandchildren, Spencer, Lizzie, Atlee and Benjamin; her sister, Sally and husband Dick Molpus; her aunt, Francis Dalton; nieces, nephews and cousins; and a host of others were touched by her generous and kind spirit. Funeral service will be held at 3:30 p.m. today at First United Methodist Church in Corinth with the Rev. Dr. Prentiss Gordon and Dr. Glenn Wiygul officiating. Burial will follow in the Henry Cemetery. Family will receive friends in the fellowship hall of the First Methodist Church from 2 to 3:15 p.m. “To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.” — Thomas Campbell Donations may be made to: Monroe Carell, Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbuilt, 2525 West End Ave, Suite 450, Nashville, TN 37203, or Mississippi Chapter for Juvenile Diabetes, 1640 Lelia Drive, Suite 130, Jackson, MS 39216.

The Artist, PG-13, *****,Jean Dujardin, Berenice Bejo, John Goodman, James Cromwell, Uggie; The Weinstein Co; Director Michel Hazanavicius; length — 100 minutes Return to those days of yesteryear when films were black and white and without sound. Although “The Artist” has very little speaking in it, does have music and just the right amount of resonance at just the right times. The film is definitely worth seeing for the acting, creativity, originality, superb performances and vision. The orchestras in front of the stage and the acting taking place on stage are in sync with one another. I did not have the opportunity to see “The Artist” before the Academy Awards. After having won Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Director along with two other awards, the film made it to this part of the world. The last time a silent film earned the top prize was when the World
War I saga “Wings” was named outstanding picture at the first in Terry Oscars 1929. Burns A v i d Movie Critic movie buffs will be doing an injustice by not viewing this great piece of work. Communication takes place in many forms and the actors and actresses in “The Artist” portray this with extraordinary talent. The movie begins in 1927 just as George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) is at the top of his game in silent movies and stage acts. The audience becomes aware of his ego that all actors tend to have. After all, actors must have great confidence in order to perform before an audience or the camera. “The Artist” introduces a young inspiring actress, Peppy Miller (Berenice Bejo). She is talented with a truck load of charis-
The Rev. Peter Alexander Sr. was born into slavery in Nashville, Tenn., in 1801 and died at his home near Tishomingo at the age of 103. As a slave in 1840, he was sold away from his wife and two children to the Alexander family near Bishop, Ala. He was a handyman and worked as a type of overseer on the plantation. Because he was alert, useful and trustworthy, he was taught to read and write by members of the household; this was unheard of during this time due to existing slave law. At one point during his Alabama enslavement, he was for sale once again but he determined not to leave his second wife as he was
forced to do with his first wife. Fortunately, the deal was called RaNae off.He was Vaughn the father nine Historically of Speaking c h i l d r e n : Samuel Alexander, Parmelia Alexander Duke, Joseph Alexander, Solomon Alexander, Harriet Alexander Mann, Frona Alexander, Eady Alexander, Peter Alexander and Parilee Alexander Richardson.

JACKSON — Judges and prosecutors would get pay raises over four years, under a plan the Mississippi House passed Wednesday. Mississippi’s circuit and
chancery judges currently make $104,000 a year. The bill would increase their pay in four annual steps to $136,000 a year by 2016. Pay would also increase for district attorneys, appellate judges and county court judges. Salaries of

The Rev. Alexander built a legacy that continues to thrive. The Carter’s Branch and Petertown communities of Tishomingo County are divided by a stream called Carter’s Branch at the eastern born of Tishomingo County and the Alabama state line; however, these two communities are linked in their history. They represent a sense of community and tradition that is an important element of African-American heritage.

Much of this land is still in the possession of his heirs. He organized the Carter’s Branch Baptist Church and was its first pastor. Out of this church was formed the St. Peter Baptist Church after the question arose as to whether Carter’s Branch would remain in the Muscle Shoals Association or become affiliated with a Mississippi church association. St. Peters continues today as a part of the Muscle Shoals Association. When the Muscle Shoals Association was organized, the Rev. Alexander rode a mule from Tishomingo to Tuscumbia, Ala., where he represented his church in the formation of this organization.

ma. This, along with her beauty and the arrival of sound in motion pictures, assures she is soon to be a star. Though Valentin is enamored with her, he is jealous of her talent. He ignores the fact sound is making its way into the movies. He becomes depressed because he is not adjusting to the changing world of film. An interesting situation that takes place throughout the movie involves Valentin’s pet dog Uggie. He is actually the star of the show and deserves an Oscar for his dedicated friendship to his master. Uggie steals many of the scenes along with winning the hearts of the audience. He also saves Valentin’s life, proving once again dogs are man’s best friend. When Miller and Valentin dance, The enthusiasm jumps right off the screen into the hearts of the audience. “The Artist” is not for everybody, but if the reader enjoys watching a blast from a past most of
