On the Edge of the Weekend

City's Swiss heritage will come to the forefront By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge The Helvetia Sharpshooters Ballroom may not have had any air conditioning, but it was still the coolest place to see and be seen in Highland during the 1960s. Teenagers flocked to the weekly Wednesday Night Dance as it was known from neighboring towns to dance, hang out and have a good time. “It was very ‘60s,” recalled Highland resident Peggy Bellm. “I was in high school, and my mother said to me ‘Do not go to the Wednesday Night Dance,’ which of course I did.” The sweltering hot ballroom could accommodate up to 450 people and was “packed to the gills,” according to Bellm, who is also chairman of the Highland 175th Jubilee organizing committee. “You got to meet other people. It just drew people from all over,” she said. More than 40 years later, those free spirited days will return for a special Wednesday Night Dance reunion as the kick off to Highland’s 175th Jubilee celebration. From Friday, Sept. 28, through Sunday, Sept. 30, at Lindendale Park, the city of Highland will mark 175 years of history and growth with three days of festivities in honor of this Illinois town’s Swiss and German heritage and enterprising spirit. Highland was founded in 1837 by a party

of Swiss pioneers from Sursee, Switzerland, who were led by Dr. Kasper Koepfli. At its peak during the mid-19th century, the town was reportedly home to the largest settlement of Swiss in the United States. It remains one of the country’s oldest Swiss settlements, according to information from the Highland Historical Society’s website. The town’s most famous son, Louis A. Latzer, became known as the “father of Pet Milk” after he perfected the process of condensing milk, making it more widely available to the public. In 1887, he took over the Helvetia Milk Condensing Company, later the Pet Milk Company, which was founded in Highland. Highland is also home to other well-known businesses, which include Basler Electric, the Korte Construction Company, Cooper B-Line, Highland Supply Corp. and Highland Machine. The 175th Jubilee festival has been two years in the making. Special guests The Jorrells, the former house band for the Wednesday Night Dance, will reunite for a reunion performance at the dance to kick off the celebrations at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 28, in the beer garden at Lindendale Park. The festival will continue from noon to 8 p.m. (music ends at midnight) on Saturday, Sept. 29. The parade will step off at noon at the Highland School District Administration Building at 400 Broadway and end at Lindendale Park. The best viewing spots will

Two favorites from year's past – the Jorrells above and the Deutschmeister Brass Band, below, will return to perform at Highland's 175th Jubilee. be from the historic town square. There will also be a welcome ceremony to introduce and recognize visiting guests and dignitaries. Visitors will include a delegation from Sursee, Switzerland, Highland’s sister city, which includes Ruedi Amrein, mayor of Sursee, as well as 12 others. Also attending will be Michael Schweizer, vice-consul of the Consulate General of Switzerland in Chicago; Rob Sherwood, editor of the Swiss-American Historical Society Review; and Max Schweizer, director of Swiss Diplomats from Zurich. The ceremony will include Posting the Colors of the U.S. flag, singing both the United States and Swiss national anthems, and “Sempacher Lied.” Bellm said this will be the second visit to Highland for Max Schweizer, who previously stayed in the town during the 1970s while writing his master’s thesis and doctoral dissertation on Swiss immigrants in the U.S. “I’m excited that Max is coming back to Highland. My husband and I got to spend time with him when we went over to Switzerland in the early 1980s,” said Bellm. History buffs won’t want to miss the Milestones Walk, which is a timeline made up of more than 70 exhibits highlighting the town’s history from 1837 to today. Bellm said that exhibitors are made up of businesses, churches and civic organizations. Each exhibitor has created a 10-by-10-foot space composed of photos, written history and

anything else that they feel best represents their business or organization. Widmer Floral Co., which was founded in 1870 and continues today, will take pride of place at the start of the timeline as Highland’s oldest business. Bellm said other historic businesses taking part in the walk include Highland Home (1912) and Basler Electric (1941) among others. The walk will conclude with an exhibit featuring Highland’s fiber optic network project, fiberto-the-home. Sunday opens at 10 a.m. with a Catholic mass said in German followed by an ecumenical service, both in the Helvetia Sharpshooters Ballroom. Activities and exhibits, the children’s area and entertainment begin at 11 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. Throughout the weekend there will be entertainment and activities for visitors of all ages. This includes a vintage car show, German and Swiss contemporary entertainment and children’s activities. Visitors can satisfy their hunger with a variety of German food and beer including Bavarian skillets, brats and sauerkraut, curried brats, fried chicken, fried fish, German potato salad, Swiss pastries and pizza. In addition to The Jorrells, guest performers will include the Deutschmeister Brass Band, Larry Haller Duo, Buffalo Road, Whiskey Dixon and more. All activities are free and open to the public.

Emancipation Proclamation to be displayed One hundred fifty years ago, on September 22, 1862, buoyed by the recent Union victory at the Battle of Antietam, President Abraham Lincoln announced his intention to issue an Emancipation Proclamation, which he did on New Yearâ€™s Day 1863.Â To commemorate this momentous anniversary, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum is putting its signed copy of the Emancipation Proclamation, plus two new artifacts, on display in the Museumâ€™s Treasures Gallery now through January 21, 2013.Â Â Â Â Â Â â€œEvery year in our country, the legal and social equality of all races continues to come closer to our ideal,â€? said James M. Cornelius, curator of the Lincoln Collection at the Presidential Library and Museum.Â â€œThe great break with the past, the seminal event, the leap forward, began with Lincoln's pen in September 1862.Â People at the time - black or white, American or European, North or South - knew this, and their experience tells us to celebrate this document and its anniversary.â€? The Emancipation Proclamation is one of the officially printed commemorative copies that Lincoln signed in full, along with Secretary of State William Seward and Lincolnâ€™s private secretary, John G. Nicolay.Â The President signed the original Emancipation Proclamation in private with only a few witnesses at his side â€“ no â€œphoto opportunityâ€? as we like to say today. It is fortunate that the commemorative printing was ordered, because Lincolnâ€™s original manuscript was lost in the Chicago Fire of 1871.Â The Proclamation measures approximately 27 by 20 inches.Â It was most recently displayed during a five-day special viewing around his birthday in 2012, and during the 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial. Next to it will be two artifacts never before displayed.Â One, created in the 1870s, is a bronze statue of Lincoln breaking the shackles of a slave.Â The sculptor was probably a

Frenchman, LĂŠon Falconnier.Â It was inspired by a giant Washington, D.C., statue by Thomas Ball for which Frederick Douglass gave the dedication speech in 1876.Â In that speech Douglass declared Lincoln â€œthe white manâ€™s president,â€? though he had earlier deemed him â€œthe black man's president.â€?Â Falconnier may have wanted to capitalize on Ball's work, which, though less popular today, was commissioned and paid for by freedmen and helped solidify the image of Lincoln as the liberator of a race.Â Lincoln in fact had urged freedmen to show their gratitude to God and not to him, since freedom is a human right. Visitors will be asked to give their thoughts about the sculpture as part of an â€œinteractive experienceâ€? about this trio of historic objects. The other item on view for the first time will be an 1864 notice of a slave sale in Louisville, Kentucky.Â This sale, held nearly two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, shows that the Proclamation did not apply to the border states during the Civil War, thus keeping these slave-holding states in the Union.Â The next year, Congress voted to change the U.S. Constitution with the 13th Amendment, which outlawed slavery in the entire United States. For more information about programs and exhibits at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, visit www.presidentlincoln. org.

From 1996 to 2008, Vowell entertained and enlightened listeners with her unusual, quirky tales. She brings that same beguiling style to her books, essays and columns, revealing an American history that will never be found in standard texts. In her sixth, most recent book, Unfamiliar Fishes, Vowell presents the history of the 50th state, Hawaii. In addition to Unfamiliar Fishes, her two other bestsellers are The Wordy Shipmates, which portrays the New England Puritans like they have never been portra y e d ; a n d A s s a s s i n a t i o n Vacation, a strange, but intriguing road trip to sites dedicated to murdered U.S. presidents. Thursday, Oct. 11: Jeremy Rifkin Noon, Graham Chapel “The Third Industrial Revolution: How Lateral Power is Transforming Energy, the Economy and the World” According to Jeremy Rifkin, the world witnessed the end of the modern era in July 2008, when geopolitical and socioeconomic forces sent the cost of oil soaring to $147 a barrel. Eighteen months later, there was a worldwide financial collapse. How the world got to this critical point, and how to take advantage of the opportunities on the horizon, are the basic themes in Rifkin’s latest book, The Third Industrial Revolution: How Lateral Power is Transforming Energy, the Economy and the World. It is also the title of the Assembly Series’ annual Elliot Stein Lecture in Ethics. Rifkin is the visionary president of the Foundation on Economic Trends, a consultant to the European Union, and author of 19 books exploring the impact of scientific and technological changes on the economy, the workforce, society and the environment. Wednesday, Oct. 17: Graham Meriwether Ti m e a n d l o c a t i o n t o b e determined

American Meat film viewing and discussion In his film American Meat, inspired by Michael Pollan’s book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma, director/ producer Graham Meriwether set out to capture a year in the life of a small farm and, in doing so, had his perspective changed. The result, four-and-a-half years later, is a film that presents the pros and cons of various farm practices and captures the beginning of the small-farm revolution. A showing of the 82-minute film will be followed by a discussion, led by Meriwether, with a panel of experts involved in the food industry, plus a sampling of foods from local and artisan farmers, courtesy of WUSTL Dining Services and Bon Appetit. Monday, Oct. 29: Aron Rodrigue 6 p.m., Umrath Hall Lounge “Reflections on Sephardic Jewries and the Holocaust” Aron Rodrigue’s groundbreaking research on the Sephardic Jewish experience during the Holocaust has put to the rest the widely held notion that Sephardim living in the Balkans and other European lands during the Holocaust were not as badly affected as the Ashkenazi in Eastern Europe. The truth is that they experienced widespread persecution and destruction, just as other Jewish communities under Nazi occupation. Rodrigue specializes in the history and culture of Sephardi and French Jewries as well as modern Jewish history, Jews of modern France, minority identities and the Ottoman

Empire. Thursday, Nov. 1: Bill McKibben 7 p.m., Graham Chapel “350: The Most Important Number in the World” For more than two decades, prominent environmental author and advocate Bill McKibben has combined scientific knowledge about the increasing carbonization of the planet and its deleterious effects with an activist’s determination. His message: “We are living on a fundamentally altered planet, and this new planet is not as nice as the old one, as recent inhospitable weather conditions demonstrate.” For more information, visit assemblyseries.wustl.edu or call (314) 935-4620.

Circus Flora presents A Celtic Night Cirucs: Tír na nÓg St. Louis’ own Circus Flora, which has brought the magic of the onering circus to hundreds of thousands over the past 26 years, turns its narrative to a new, delightfully intimate format: a dinner-theater production geared toward adult audiences. Sponsored by Mercy Children’s Hospital, A Celtic Night Circus: Tír na nÓg debuts one weekend only in an intimate, yellow-and-orange big top tent erected on the northwest grounds of Chesterfield Mall, 113 Chesterfield Center, the original

community where Circus Flora first performed 26 years ago. The brandnew show, specifically written and produced for this limited engagement, carries the audience to a mythical land of eternal youth, mystery and revelry, with only four performances: 7 p.m. Oct. 18, 19 and 20, and 4 p.m. Oct. 21. Following the vision of Circus Flora’s artistic director and cofounder Ivor David Balding and similar productions in New York and San Francisco, the award-winning creative team of Circus Flora conjured up this brand-new tale, loosely adapted from Arthur Schnitzler ’s La Ronde and set on the mythical Celtic island of Tír na nÓg. Under the direction of Cecil MacKinnon, A Celtic Night Circus makes for an extravagant evening of one-ring circus. “I’ve dreamt of a Celtic circus for a long time,” said Balding. “The dark, mysterious world of Irish mythology perfectly suits an autumnal, nighttime show. Audiences can expect the same production quality and world-renowned performers that Circus Flora is known for, but the new tent and table seating makes this dinner theater distinctive and romantic.” Featuring such celebrated performers as Sacha Pavlata, Melinda Heywood, The Bertini Family Troupe, Kellin Quinn of the St. Louis Arches, Claire “The Clown”

Wedemeyer, and Cecil MacKinnon as Yo-Yo the Compere, A Celtic Night Circus is a cutting-edge, nighttimeonly performance in a cabaret-style atmosphere. Audiences settle in for an exquisite sit-down dinner with dessert and wine – prepared by Michele Coen-Racanelli and Vito Racanelli of Michele C. Catering & Events – as they step back in time to the ancient Emerald Isle. Tickets for A Celtic Night Circus are $175 and include a gourmet dinner, dessert and wine. Tickets go on sale Sept. 4 and are available at 314-534-1111 or www.circusflora.org. A portion of the proceeds from A Celtic Night Circus benefit Circus Flora’s most recent community outreach program, Clowns on Call, which brings the magic of circus to two St. Louis area children’s hospitals: Mercy Children’s Hospital and SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center. A Celtic Night Circus is part of the annual American Arts Experience – St. Louis, a 17-day festival celebrating all mediums of American arts throughout the St. Louis region each October. Visit www.AmericanArtsSTL.org for more information. A Celtic Night Circus is an extension of Circus Flora’s 2012 season, which concludes in December with A Child’s Christmas in Wales, Circus Flora’s second co-production with the St. Louis Symphony.

For The Edge

The Clannad

The Clannad to perform at the St. Charles Family Arena By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge

llow yourself to be transported to the misty shores of the Emerald Isle through the music of Clannad at 7 p.m. on Oct. 19 at The Family Arena in St. Charles. This appearance marks the group’s first North American tour in 20 years. Clannad’s combination of a deep love of traditional Irish folk music with a bold approach to writing and recording has resulted in a hugely impressive collection of albums over the past four decades that touch on everything from folk and rock to ambient, jazz and world music. They have given a unique voice to modern Irish music that continues to thrill and inspire fans today. Whether performed in English or the members’ native Gaelic tongue,

Clannad’s haunting vocals have plugged directly into the popular imagination. Clannad is made up of siblings Maire, Pol and Ciaran Brennan along with twin uncles Padraig and Noel Duggan. The three siblings grew up in the parish of Gweedore, Donegal, in the secluded northwest of Ireland. Maire, Pol and Ciaran Brennan sang and played from an early age in their father ’s bar, Leo’s Tavern. Soon they were accompanied by their uncles. The group won a talent contest in Letterkenny in 1970 and hasn’t looked back since. Their first album, “Clannad” was released in 1973. They were celebrated at home, and found an appreciative folk audience in Germany. Nearly a decade later, the band achieved international fame with the 1982 release of the “Theme from Harry’s Game.” “Harry’s Game” was a fictional British television drama depicting the troubles in Northern Ireland. The song

entered the British charts at No. 5 and remains the only U.K. hit single to have been sung entirely in Irish Gaelic. Irish rock band U2 even featured it at the end of their concerts during their 1983 War Tour through 1987’s Joshua Tree tour. Sister Enya, who left the group in 1981 to pursue a solo career, was featured on the 1982 album “Fuaim.” Throughout the 1980s and ‘90s, Clannad successfully bridged the gap between traditional Celtic music and contemporary rock/pop with their beautiful vocals intertwined with mellow instrumental and pop-infused music. They have toured extensively throughout the world and won many major awards for their music including a Grammy, a BAFTA, an Ivor Novello and a Billboard Music Award. Don’t miss your chance to hear Clannad during their stop in St. Louis. Get your tickets now and enjoy an evening of music

you won’t soon forget. The Family Arena in St. Charles is located on Arena Parkway. From Interstate 70, take the South 5th St. exit and follow the signs to Arena Parkway.

Religion God provides the best assurance Do you have sleepless nights? Do you have trouble falling asleep? Or, do you wake up in the middle of the night and find yourself pondering things you did and wish you hadn’t or do you think of things you should have done? Or, do you worry and fret about problems that you wish would go away? Do we really think that worrying about them at three in the morning resolves anything? Do we pray about an issue and then relax, leaving it in God’s hands? I’ll admit that I give my problems, my aches and pains, my sorrows, my wishes for family and friends to God in prayer, but then I still find myself worrying and fretting and wondering how I could "make it all better.” I’m beginning to think in my old age, that I am becoming more impatient than patient. I really would like to resolve issues ‘right now’. Is it because I’d like to be around to see things improve? This issue might be a personal one, an organization one, and even the dilemma that we find our country in right now.

Doris Gvillo I wish it was like in the old fairy tales and that one wave of a magic wand and all would be well. But let me assure you…that’s not the way life works in case you haven’t figured that out for yourself as yet. Years back you heard those we at that time called the old timers say "you made your bed and now you’ll lay in it.” Sounded crude and cruel to me back then. But now I think I understand their thinking. Decisions we make individually, as a city, a congregation or a nation affect the future. And since the decisions are now reality, we must live with them and if it is uncomfortable, we must seek ways to overcome. And one thing we surely have learned…things don’t move fast. Healing of self, of companies, congregations and countries takes both dedication, faith, commitment, energy, time, and the ability to ‘keep on keeping on’ even when

something seems too hard or sometimes looks impossible. I recall my pastor of many years ago telling us (a group of young teenagers) to remember that God brought the people out of Egypt where they were slaves. But they didn’t always listen to God and so they didn’t just ‘waltz’ into the Promised Land. They wandered for many, many years before they arrived. I think we sometimes act as those Israelites acted. We rejoice that we have a God that loves us and sometimes we forget that we also have a God of judgment. I’m not suggesting that our problems are God punishing us, but rather that our time isn’t always God’s time. I think the individual who could invent the ‘worry’ pill that one could take and assure themselves they’d never worry again, would make millions. But it isn’t going to happen. We all have to learn to lean on God, trust His promises and keep on keeping on. Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes

it is very, very hard. Sometimes we feel weak and discouraged. Sometimes we falter and doubt. Sometimes we want to just throw in the towel and give up. But of this I am sure, God is waiting to ‘carry’ us when the way gets too hard and we feel scared, lost and alone. I’d be the first to admit that in the times when I lay awake trying to deal with some issues that I’m confused about, don’t know what to do, feel thwarted at every turn, and just plain worn out, I say to myself, “Doris, what in the world is the matter with you. You can’t do one thing about any of this tonight so why don’t you give up and go to sleep.” Doesn’t always work. But often in desperation, I begin to share my thoughts with God and most of the time, I find the tension easing, and trust and hope beginning to ease the doubt and despair. I wish I could say I never worry, never doubt, never fret, but I can’t do that. But I can assure you that when I am weak, in my heart, I know and believe that God is strong. And because He is strong and loving,

somehow and sometime, ‘this too shall pass.’ We all need to be reminded that we can’t do everything. We can only do the ‘best’ we can and then we leave the rest in God’s hands. I believe His love and care won’t fail. We may not get the answer we search for instantly. We may not even get the answer we want. But God will always respond and perhaps His way is better than anything you and I can imagine. I just read a quote that says, God’s timetable may move slowly, but it does move ‘surely.’ And the knowledge that God does hear, does care and does act should offer an assurance that He is in control. Just as we sang long ago as children…”He’s got the whole world in His hands.” He has you and me, the little tiny baby, yes…the whole world in His hands and if that isn’t the best ‘assurance’ we’ll ever find, I don’t know what is.

Religion briefs Atlanta seminary delays move to Morris Brown College building amid uncertainty about finances ATLANTA (AP) — An Atlanta seminary is delaying its planned move to a location at Morris Brown College until it can assess how the school’s financial problems might affect the seminary. The Interdenominational Theological Center recently spent $400,000 improving Morris Brown’s student center, planning to move classes there while the religious school underwent major renovations. Given Morris Brown’s recent bankruptcy filing, seminary officials say they’re trying to figure out their next steps. The historically black Atlanta college faces possible foreclosure. Court records show that Morris Brown has not paid some of its employees for months.

Chicago Cardinal George to start chemotherapy in latest cancer fight CHICAGO (AP) — Cardinal Francis George, in his second bout with cancer, said he feels anxious but ready to begin chemotherapy. “Well, I’m anticipating it a little bit, but otherwise, right now, I’m feeling good,” he said. He made the comments last Saturday before Mass at St. Joseph Parish, a Roman Catholic church on the South Side that was celebrating its 125th anniversary. George said he hoped to keep as many commitments as possible. Six years ago, surgeons removed his bladder, prostate and part of his right ureter following the discovery that he had bladder cancer. Last month, he announced cancer had been found in his right kidney and liver. His chemotherapy treatment is slated to begin Wednesday and last four months. “I haven’t been through it before. I didn’t have chemo when I had bladder cancer the first time, so I don’t know

QuickGlance Movie Reviews

“Premium Rush”

Let’s just be glad Smell-O-Vision never caught on. Thankfully, the musky odor of sweaty bike messengers doesn’t emanate from director David Koepp’s thrill ride, an enjoyable, two-wheeled action film and flashy ode to the subculture of urban couriers. It’s a silly movie predicated on a simple premise, but it’s satisfying B-movie entertainment that moves with the swiftness of a Schwinn — a ride made particularly fun by Michael Shannon’s enthrallingly comic performance as a dirty cop in mad pursuit of a bike messenger’s cargo. Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Wilee, a hardened New York City messenger who’s forsaken a promising career in law for the freedom of riding the city’s congested streets. His dispatch (Aasif Mandvi) sends him on a seemingly innocuous delivery that will prove anything but. Chief among the impediments is Shannon’s detective, whose gambling debts in Chinatown have made him desperate for Wilee’s lucrative delivery. Koepp assembles backstories with flashbacks to earlier in the day, but the film moves with pedal propulsion along with numerous chase sequences made with stunts, rather than visual effects. But Shannon as a wide-eyed, exasperated maniac doesn’t just steal the movie, he towers over it. In a two-tire film, he’s an 18-wheeler. RATED: PG-13 for some violence, intense action sequences and language. RUNNING TIME: 91 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING Three stars out of four.

"For a Good Time, Call ..."

The whole point of calling a phone-sex line is that you know what you're getting, right? You pick up the phone, pay your money and partake in some, um, selfsatisfaction. It's a sure thing. Everyone hangs up happy. With this comedy, you only think you know what you're getting. It looks like total formula and — for a little while, at least — feels like it, with its broad types who are complete opposites getting thrown together in a contrived, high-concept situation: operating a phone-sex business out of a Manhattan apartment they're forced to share. But the actresses playing the two lead characters — Ari Graynor and Lauren Anne Miller — have such a light and lovely chemistry with each other, and director Jamie Travis keeps things moving so briskly, you find yourself not minding how by-the-numbers the story is. And then within that by-the-numbers story, there ends up being enough surprises and twists that you find yourself unexpectedly charmed. Brassy party girl Katie (Graynor) and conservative, overachieving Lauren (Miller) both find themselves in need of a roommate. They learn to tolerate each other at first, then become business partners and eventually best friends. The raunchiness will invite comparisons to "Bridesmaids" — although co-star Miller and Katie Anne Naylon wrote their script first — but the exploration of close female friendship has a similar honesty. RATED: R for strong sexual content throughout, language and some drug use. RUNNING TIME: 89 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"Lawless"

If you can accept the notion that Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf and Jason Clarke could be brothers during this century or any other, you might be able to immerse yourself in the artfully pulpy allure of "Lawless," based on the true story of the bootlegging Bondurants. Director

On the Edge of the Weekend

John Hillcoat's ultra-violent drama plays like a hot, sweaty, delusional fever dream and is similarly fitful. It can be visceral and operatic, beautiful and brutal but also slow and overlong. The look and the sound of it are the most effective parts, and the most intrinsically tied: Singersongwriter Nick Cave, a longtime friend and collaborator of fellow Australian Hillcoat (on "The Proposition" and "The Road"), wrote the script and co-wrote the score, so there's a peculiar kind of dark flavor, humor and musicality to the cadence of the dialogue. "Lawless" is based on "The Wettest County in the World," Matt Bondurant's fictional tale of his grandfather, Jack, and his brothers, moonshine masters who kept the Virginia hills good n' liquored up during Prohibition. They find their tidy little operation threatened when a corrupt Chicago lawman named Charlie Rakes (Guy Pearce) swoops in to shut them down. Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska and Gary Oldman are underused in supporting roles. RATED: R for strong bloody violence, language and some sexuality/nudity. RUNNING TIME: 110 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.

“Hello I Must Be Going”

Melanie Lynskey is the kind of character actress you’re always happy to see. Whether it’s been in “Away We Go,” “Win Win,” “Up in the Air” or even something frothy like “Sweet Home Alabama,” you know she’ll offer a performance that feels accessible, unexpected and true. After years of strong supporting work, she steps into a lead role effortlessly in this intimate dramedy as a recent divorcee who finds herself unemployed, depressed and living with her parents in the cushy suburb of Westport, Conn. Director Todd Louiso and writer Sarah Koskoff’s film may feel like a familiar exploration of a solipsistic thirtysomething enduring an existential crisis, complete with the requisite indie rock score, and it does reach some pat conclusions. But it’s also both funnier and deeper than you might expect at the outset. Lynskey stars as Amy Minsky, who’s been moping for months in the same ratty Tshirt around her parents’ waterfront McMansion. But she finds herself making an unlikely connection with the 19-year-old stepson (Christopher Abbott) of her lawyer-father’s potential client at an important dinner party. Supporting performances are strong all around, especially from Blythe Danner as Amy’s well-intentioned but clueless mother. RATED: R for language and sexual content. RUNNING TIME: 95 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

“The Words”

For a movie about writing, about the transporting nature of a compelling narrative, this is needlessly complicated. It boasts an impressive cast and some glimmers of strong performances, notably from a grizzled Jeremy Irons, whose character sets the film’s many stories-within-stories in motion as a young man. And it kinda-sorta explores the notions of art, fraud and the need to sleep at night. But ultimately, “The Words” seems more interested in melodrama than anything else. The writingdirecting team of Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal (who cowrote the story for “Tron: Legacy” and are childhood friends of star Bradley Cooper) direct for the first time here. While they’ve come up with a clever nugget of a premise, they’ve couched it in a gimmicky package that keeps us at arm’s length emotionally. “The Words” begins with celebrated writer Clay Hammond (Dennis Quaid) reading excerpts from his latest best-selling novel to an enraptured crowd. As Clay begins to read, the film flashes to the characters in the book and their story, which is probably where the film should have started

all along. Cooper plays Rory Jansen, who also happens to be a celebrated writer appearing before an enraptured crowd. Rory is receiving a prestigious award for his debut novel, the one that made him an instant literary sensation. Trouble is, he didn’t actually write it. RATED: PG-13 for brief language. RUNNING TIME: 97 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

"Arbitrage"

Greed is good, until it isn't anymore, in this guilty-pleasure thriller for these tough economic times. In directing his first feature, writer and documentarian Nicholas Jarecki shows great command of tone — a balance of sex, danger and manipulation with some insiderish business talk and a healthy sprinkling of dark humor to break up the tension. His film is well-cast and strongly acted, and while it couldn't be more relevant, it also recalls the decadence of 1980s Wall Street, shot in 35mm as it is, with a synth-heavy score. "Arbitrage" is a lurid look at a lavish lifestyle that allows us to cluck disapprovingly while still vicariously enjoying its luxurious trappings. Richard Gere stars as billionaire hedge-fund magnate Robert Miller. As he turns 60, Robert would seem to have it all — yet he always wants more, and feels emboldened by the different set of rules and morals that seems to apply in his rarefied world. So he "borrows" $417 million from a fellow tycoon to cover a hole in his portfolio and make his company look as stable as possible as it's about to be acquired by a bank. And despite the loyalty and support of his smart, beautiful wife (Susan Sarandon), he has a hot (and hot-headed) French mistress on the side (former Victoria's Secret model Laetitia Casta) who runs in stylish, hard-partying art circles. Both these schemes explode in his face over the course of a few fateful days. Tim Roth, Brit Marling and Nate Parker co-star. RATED: R for language, brief violent images and drug use. RUNNING TIME: 100 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"The Master"

Viewers hoping for a juicy expose of the supersecretive Church of Scientology might want to adjust their expectations just a tad. Writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson has acknowledged that the cult leader of the film's title — played with great bluster and bravado by Philip Seymour Hoffman, one of his longtime players — was inspired by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. And certain key phrases and ideas that are tenets of the church do show up in the film. And yet, the church — or rather, "The Cause," as it's known here — emerges relatively unscathed. Hoffman's Lancaster Dodd, whom his followers refer to as "Master," is commanding and calculating and sometimes even cruel, but the bond he forges with a wayward Joaquin Phoenix reveals his inquisitiveness, his generosity of spirit and a love that cannot be defined, teetering as it does between the paternal and the homoerotic. Meanwhile, Phoenix's character, the troubled, volatile and often inebriated Freddie Quell, seems at his happiest once he's safely ensconced within the group. But "The Master" isn't interested in anything so clear-cut as joy vs. misery. It's about the way people's lives intersect, if only briefly and perhaps without a satisfying sense of closure. Anderson, long a master himself of technique and tone, has created a startling, stunningly gorgeous film shot in lushly vibrant 65mm, with powerful performances all around and impeccable production design. But it's also his most ambitious film yet — quite a feat following the sprawling "Magnolia" and the operatic "There Will Be Blood" — in that it's more impressionistic and less adherent to a tidy three-act structure. RATED: R for sexual content, graphic nudity and language. RUNNING TIME: 137 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.

"The Master" gorgeous and challenging By CHRISTY LEMIRE Associated Press Viewers hoping for a juicy expose of the super-secretive Church of Scientology in “The Master” might want to adjust their expectations just a tad. Writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson has acknowledged that the cult leader of the film’s title — played with great bluster and bravado by Philip Seymour Hoffman, one of his longtime players — was inspired by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. And certain key phrases and ideas that are tenets of the church do show up in the film. There’s the notion that everything that shapes us is recorded from our earliest days, even

in the womb, and that people can dig deep into their pasts — into past lives, even — to purge negative experiences and emotions and achieve a state of perfection. “The Master” takes place in 1950 as Hoffman’s character, the charismatic Lancaster Dodd, is releasing an important new book outlining his bold philosophy; that’s the same year Hubbard published his worldwide best-seller, “Dianetics.” And Amy Adams, as Dodd’s true-believer wife, Peggy, makes this quietly forceful proclamation toward the end: “This is something you do for a billion years or not at all.” It’s a number that couldn’t possibly be random, given the billion-year contract the most devoted Scientologists sign. And yet, the church — or rather, “The

Cause,” as it’s known here — emerges relatively unscathed. Dodd, whom his followers refer to as “Master,” is commanding and calculating and sometimes even cruel, but the bond he forges with a wayward Joaquin Phoenix reveals his inquisitiveness, his generosity of spirit and a love that can’t be defined, teetering as it does between the paternal and the homoerotic. Meanwhile, Phoenix’s character, the troubled, volatile and often inebriated Freddie Quell, seems at his happiest once he’s safely ensconced within the group. He’s still a “scoundrel,” as Dodd affectionately labels him upon their first meeting, but at least he’s functioning in a society. But “The Master” isn’t interested in anything

so clear-cut as joy vs. misery. It’s about the way people’s lives intersect, if only briefly and perhaps without a satisfying sense of closure. Anderson, long a master himself of technique and tone, has created a startling, stunningly gorgeous film shot in lushly vibrant 65mm, with powerful performances all around and impeccable production design. But it’s also his most ambitious film yet — quite a feat following the sprawling “Magnolia” and the operatic “There Will Be Blood” — in that it’s more impressionistic and less adherent to a tidy three-act structure. If you like answers, you will feel frustrated. And yet, as fond of ambiguity as I usually am, I still felt a bit emotionally detached afterward. Wowed, for sure, but not exactly moved.

Independent films earn high marks By ROBERT GRUBAUGH For The Edge In the rare week where I'm pretty sure I saw a movie every single day, I had a nice run through the independent film community and saw a couple of great pictures (and one dud called Robot & Frank). But that's September for you. Hollywood hasn't figured out how to crack this tough nut of a month in years. Leave it to IFC and the French to get it right. One of the breakout foreign films of the year, especially through its numerous festival circuit wins, is The Intouchables, an uproariously funny drama about friendship coming sometimes under the guise of a stranger you might not expect. The movie is small in scope, featuring only a handful of actors, but it more than makes up for that in memorable dialogue and strong

emotional investment by all players. As a quadriplegic, Philippe (Francois Cluzet, who is not paralyzed in real life) has no feeling below the neck. But that said, he does use the remaining sensation that he has more fully than most able-bodied people do. His love of food, art, music, literature, and travel give him a zest for life that his inability to dance, walk, or otherwise engage physically with others takes away. He's very rich, almost a member of fleeting aristocracy, and indulges his pleasures through the employ of full-time assistants and caretakers. The duties of a nurse are many and he struggles to keep them around long enough for them to become comfortable with his demands. During a routine hiring session, Philippe recruits Driss (Omar Sy), a troubled man struggling with drug addiction while living on the streets, to be his

new home healthcare worker. To the amazement of his secretary (Audrey Fleurot) and housekeeper (Clotilde Mollet), Philippe has gone a radical route with Driss's recruitment. He has no qualifications, a poor work history, a penchant for kleptomania, and is crass (especially with the lovely Fleurot). How would this work? The backward way that Driss comes into this job is part of the charm of the movie's narrative. The two men become close friends by the time that they get to know each other and a more delightful relationship in a movie is not to be found. The story is based on true events and the characters portrayed by the main stars appear in the closing credits. It's a remarkable picture that instantly catapulted itself into my mind as one of the very best of the year. The Intouchables runs 112 minutes and is rated R for language and some

drug use. It is presented in French with English subtitles. I give this film four stars out of four. ••• Comedian Mike Birbiglia's directorial debut, Sleepwalk with Me, is in theatres now. Birbiglia, an easygoing stand-up with no haters, brings to the big screen his oneman show that has also spawned a book and material for many of his best comedy routines. His sets prominently riff on his fear of bears, matrimony, and his REM sleep disorder that has nearly killed him on occasion. Told in first-person narration, Sleepwalk features Birbiglia as Matt Pandamiglio, an aspiring comedian coming to grips with his stalling career and his long-term relationship with Abby (Lauren Ambrose) as is teeters on the precipice between dissolution and marriage.

September 27, 2012

The stress of performing, travel, and his parents' (James Rebhorn and Carol Kane) pestering, coupled with his undecided state with Abby, leads Matt to a dangerous place with his extreme sleepwalking condition that has him do strange things, including leaping through a closed window from the second floor of a La Quinta Inn. It's funnier, for sure, than it sounds. Birbiglia is great at what he does and I just found out that he is coming to Bloomington in December. I might well make that trip to see him perform. If live, he's half as funny as his movie, and half still as humanizing as his acting demeanor and character development, it would be a real treat. Sleepwalk with Me runs 75 minutes and is Not Rated, though the content would be equivalent to a PG-13 rating for language and smoking. I give this film three stars out of four.

Dining Delights Getting to the whole-grain side of risotto By SARA MOULTON For The Associated Press Many people like the idea of cooking with whole grains — They are so healthful! — but refrain from actually plunging in because so many of them are unfamiliar. What is the ratio of liquid to grain? Don’t you need to rinse them, soak them or toast them first? How long do you cook them? Don’t they take forever to cook? For too long, I shied away from whole grains, too, especially because nobody seemed to agree on the answers to these questions. Then I did something really smart. I read the back of the package. And, duh! It’s all right there. After all, who knows better how to prepare these products than the company that did the harvesting? Product by product, and brand by brand, the instructions on the packages set me free to start cooking with many new whole grains. One of my first and most gratifying discoveries was that most of these grains are pretty durable. You can boil up a huge batch during the weekend, then freeze them in 1-, 2- or 3-cup containers. All you need to do is reheat them with a bit of liquid or steam them over simmering water. And they are versatile, too. You can use them in any recipe that calls for cooked rice. Which brings me to this recipe. My family loves regular risotto made with arborio or carnaroli rice. I was hopeful that I could prepare the same kind of recipe using farro. A kind of hulled wheat, farro was first cultivated in the ancient Near East some 10,000 years ago. After a while, it started showing up in ancient Egypt and Israel. Today, it’s grown in Morocco, Spain, Albania, Turkey, Switzerland and Italy. Recently, it’s been gaining popularity right here in America because it’s so nutritious. Happily, farro also happens to be delicious. It has a full-bodied taste and a pleasant, slightly chewy texture. It’s less starchy than short grain rice, which means that this risotto is not as creamy as ricebased versions. But it still gets plenty creamy, especially with the addition of a little freshly-grated Parmesan. I simmered the farro first to give it a jump start because it takes 50 to 60 minutes to get tender, and who wants to be stirring all that time? Traditionalists making the standard risotto contend that you’re supposed to add the liquid in numerous small increments, which can get pretty tedious. But I was liberated several years ago by Andrew Carmellini, who adds liquid to his risotto fewer times in larger amounts. I figured if it was all right for this celebrated Italian restaurant chef, I could get away with it, too. I finish off my farro risotto with sauteed mushrooms, but you’re welcome to substitute any kind of cooked vegetable — carrots, peas, eggplant or chunks of butternut squash. And adding a little cooked protein to it, such as shrimp, for example, or chicken, or Canadian bacon, easily turns this dish into an entree. It is the perfect base for repurposed leftovers, but your family also will love it straight up. MUSHROOM FARRO RISOTTO

If you can only find parcooked farro (partially cooked), skip the initial step of the recipe (which calls for boiling the farro for 25 minutes). Instead, proceed to the next step. When the recipe directs you to simmer the broth and reserved farro cooking liquid, instead bring 2 1/2 cups of broth to a simmer, then proceed with the recipe and add the parcooked farro when it calls for drained farro. If you grate the cheese on a wandstyle grater, you will get about 3/4 cup. If you use the fine side of a box grater, you will get about half as much volume, or about 3/8 cup. Start to finish: 50 to 60 minutes (25 minutes active) Servings: 8 1 1/2 cups farro 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup) 1 large clove garlic, finely chopped 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves 1 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth 4 ounces fresh mushrooms (white button, cremini, shiitake, oyster or a mix) 1/2 cup dry red wine 1 ounce freshly grated ParmigianoReggiano cheese Kosher salt and ground black pepper Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the farro and simmer for 25 minutes. Drain the farro, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, then add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, or until it has softened. Add the garlic and the thyme and cook for 1 minute more. In a medium skillet over medium, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil until hot. Reduce the heat to medium-low, then add the mushrooms and saute for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid they give off has evaporated. Set aside. In a medium saucepan, combine the broth and the reserved farro cooking liquid. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Turn down the heat to low. Add the drained farro to the onion; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add

Family Focus It's time to work inside the house Builders Home and Remodeling Show gets under way Oct. 12 at the St. Charles Convention Center For The Edge

The Builders Home and Remodeling Show typically draws plenty of vendors. By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge There’s something energizing about the arrival of fall that makes it the perfect time to get thinking about all those home projects that got pushed aside over the summer. One great way to get started is to check out this year’s Builders Home & Remodeling Show at the St. Charles Convention Center, located at 1 Convention Center Plaza in St. Charles, Mo. This three-day home event runs Friday, Oct. 12, through Sunday, Oct. 14, and features 350 booths filled with the latest products and services for your home from 250 companies spread over 70,000 square feet. Whether you’re just looking to spruce up your home for the new season or are planning a complete remodeling job, this is your number one source for information, products and services all under one giant roof. “The best thing about this home show is you can come out and see all these people in one place and it’s free. It’s a really easy show to attend,” said Ellen Viehmann, assistant staff vice president for show marketing. Self-proclaimed grillologists Mad Dog & Merrill of the popular TV series “Midwest Grill’n” will be on hand to dish out their expert grilling advice spiced with humor

during seminars featuring their best tips, tricks, techniques and, of course, their mouth-watering recipes. These grilling gurus have spent the past 32 years travelling the country entertaining and educating backyard enthusiasts about the finer points of grilling. Their motto is, “if you can cook it, you can grill it.” Stop by and find out some of the common mistakes people make when grilling such as neglecting to brush their meat with oil to prevent it from drying out, using too high of a heat and failing to properly clean your grill before cooking. This fun seminar is guaranteed to teach you everything you didn’t know about grilling and keep you laughing while you learn. Get a head start on your Christmas shopping at the show’s first-ever craft market featuring handmade items by more than a dozen local artisans. You’ll find stalls filled with original abstract and multi-media artwork; copper creations; greeting cards; accessories such as jewelry, hair barrettes and purses; textiles including clothing, aprons, wraps and scarves; handmade soaps and candles and outdoor items for the garden in the form of bird houses and feeders and butterfly feeders. “There’s a really wide variety of items. All handmade from local vendors,” said

Viehmann. Check out the Home Idea Stage for a variety of informative seminars featuring advice from national and local celebrity experts. Jeff “The Mole Hunter” Holper, will help you rid your yard of moles and other pests while Scott Mosby, KMOX’s Home Answer Man, will talk about kitchen and bath remodeling on a budget. Finally, get landscaping tips and techniques to enhance your home’s curb appeal from Tay Farrelly, horticulturist, master gardener and owner of Cullivour Landscapes and Cullivour Construction. Don’t let the winter doldrums get you down this year. Inject your home with a splash of color for the fall and winter holidays with festive floral decorations that will impress your guests with your creativity. Learn how with the help of the design team at Walter Knoll Florist at the Walter Knoll Holiday Floral Stage. As always, the Home & Remodeling Show is an experience for the whole family. Bring the kids along and make sure you stop by the Mills Apple Festival, presented by Mills Apple Farm, for free samples of apples, apple pie and apple cider fresh from the Mills orchards in Marine. You can also buy Mills’ famous made-from-scratch apple pies, turnovers and

cookies or a bag of fresh apples for a healthy treat to munch while you wander around the show. There will also be free pumpkins and pumpkin painting for kids 12 and under while supplies last plus games and temporary tattoos. Bargain hunters will be delighted to know that Habitat for Humanity of St. Charles will be selling discounted new and used home improvement merchandise at the Building Products Warehouse Sale. Items may include doors, cabinetry, appliances, sinks, and smaller items like nails, screws, tile and light fixtures. This is a great opportunity for the average home owner, rental property owners and contractors. All proceeds benefit Habitat for Humanity of St. Charles County. Other activities at the show will include the Mosby Solution Center, where you’ll get your questions answered from a variety of home improvement companies; and the Home Advice Stage, where guest speakers will present useful information to help you maintain, improve and live safely in your home. Show hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 12 and Saturday, Oct. 13; and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 14. Admission and parking are free. For more information, visit www.STLHomeShow.com.

Science Center exhibit focuses on wildlife rescues The Saint Louis Science Center invites the public to "take a walk on the wild side" with their new Wildlife Rescue Exhibition - an eye-opening, inspiring and wildly interactive exhibit for all ages opened Oct. 5 for a limited engagement at the Saint Louis Science Center's Boeing Hall. Wildlife Rescue, "a Journey of Hope", invites the public to step into the recovery efforts and "meet" the people who dedicate their lives to saving animals. The exhibition features interactive exhibits and activities that allow both adults and children to explore the innovative ways used to capture, raise and release endangered species back to the wild. This new exhibition features the same puppets, costumes and other techniques used to teach young animals essential survival skills. Wildlife Rescue has educational, hands-on activities and displays, including a simulated flight on an ultra-light to guide young whooping cranes along their first migratory route; a touch screen globe to explore the stories of a wide range of threatened and endangered animals; and a "virtual" opportunity to join the Rapid Response team and test your knowledge about how organizations and individuals can respond to disasters such as oil spills, floods

On the Edge of the Weekend

and forest fires. During the exhibition's run, the Science Center will be partnering with St. Louis area organizations - including the St. Louis Zoo, St. Louis County Wildlife Rescue, the World Bird Sanctuary, Humane Society of Missouri, the Endangered Wolf Center and other animal-related groups - to conduct workshops, lectures and provide rare opportunities to see animals and rescued wildlife first-hand. Commenting on the Saint Louis Science Center's latest exhibit in their recently opened Boeing Hall facility, Senior Director of Theater, Retail and Exhibitions Jackie Mollet notes, "We are excited to be able to bring this unique exhibition to St. Louis, and to be able to partner with local area wildlife and animal rescue organizations to provide educational opportunities to both adults and children alike." In conjunction with the opening of the Wildlife Rescue exhibition, the Warner Bros. Pictures' IMAX film Born to be Wild is also showing in the Science Center's OMNIMAX Theater. Narrated by Academy-Award winner Morgan Freeman, Born to be Wild is an inspiring story of love, dedication and the remarkable bond between humans and animals. This

September 27, 2012

film documents orphaned orangutans and elephants and the extraordinary people who rescue and raise them-saving endangered species one life at a time. Stunningly captured in IMAX, Born to be Wild is a heartwarming adventure transporting moviegoers into the lush rainforests of Borneo with world-renowned primatologist Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas, and across the rugged Kenyan savannah with celebrated elephant authority Dame Daphne M. Sheldrick, as they and their teams rescue, rehabilitate and return these incredible animals back to the wild. Tickets for Wildlife Rescue are $4 for member adults, and $8 for non-member adults; $3 for member children (12 and under) and $4 for non-member children; and $6 for seniors and college students with a valid school ID. OMNIMAX Theater tickets for Born to be Wild are $9 for adults; $8 for children, seniors, and college students with an ID; and $6 for members of the military with valid identification. Members may use their vouchers for free tickets. Showtimes vary, and are available online at slsc.org/ WhatToDo/OMNIMAXTheater/Showtimes or by calling 314.289.4424.

Family Focus Skin has presence at New York Fashion Week NEW YORK (AP) â€” Bikini season may be over, but this is no time to tone down the workout. Many of the styles on the runway at New York Fashion Week flash a bit of skin here or there: bare midriffs, cutout backs, keyhole necklines. The silhouettes in spring previews that entered a fourth day Sunday arenâ€™t necessarily skin tight, but itâ€™s not a season of full-on floaty frocks, either. â€œWeâ€™ve gone so far away from overt sexiness, but the reality is, sex sells. At some point the shopper wants to be sexy,â€? said Hal Rubenstein, fashion director of InStyle magazine. â€œIllusion fabric on a shoulder or a little skin showing on a midriff gives you a hint without giving it all away.â€? Victoria Beckham and DKNY continued the trend with bra-style tops, while many of Alexander Wangâ€™s looks were seemingly held together by fishing wire. Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week continues through Thursday before the fashion crowd heads to London, Milan and Paris. ZAC POSEN The audience had started griping about Zac

Posenâ€™s delayed start, but as soon as Naomi Campbell took that first step on the runway, there was a collective â€œaha.â€? And then there was an â€œooh.â€? The spring collection was being modeled on the terrace of Lincoln Centerâ€™s Avery Fisher Hall by many of the models who helped put Posen on the map a decade ago. Campbell, Erin Oâ€™Connor, Karolina Kurkova and Alek Wek were among the catwalkers whoâ€™d strut for the newbie because they were such fans of his masterfully made clothes. Fast-forward to the new season, and Posen put them in romantic, glamorous gowns with the intricate, detailed, show-stopping sort of details that first won them over. Campbell wore a corseted daytime dress with a swingy dance hemline, setting the tone. The best of the gowns had either tons of tiny tulle pintucks, mermaid silhouettes or candy-ribbon peplums. DIANE VON FURSTENBERG Diane von Furstenberg called her spring collection â€œPalazzo.â€? â€œLa Dolce Vitaâ€? also would have worked. The muse has â€œthe polish of a princess and the heart of a gypsy,â€? von Furstenberg said, and

she travels from Rome to Marrakesh and then off to Jaipur, India. She takes with her on this journey tunics and skinny-leg pants â€” practically silk leggings â€” to wear during the day, and a blood-orange scarf gown attached to a silver choker and cuff bracelets for the night. She brings her kiwi-green gown with a cutout neckline just in case sheâ€™ll need it for a lastminute, black-tie invitation. The trip is definitely more play than work, a bit of a departure for von Furstenberg whose label often is the workhorse of a career woman. But these clothes fuel the fantasy she might be having at her desk. Google co-founder Sergey Brin was on hand and Von Furstenberg and some of the models wore Google Glasses that were collecting video for a project to be released on Google-Plus and YouTube on Thursday. VICTORIA BECKHAM Victoria Beckhamâ€™s show not only looks like her signature pulled-together, well-edited style, but it feels like her, too. Sheâ€™s the thoughtful hostess with waiters offering morning juice to the crowd at the New

York Public Library, but she keeps the guest list very tight. Sheâ€™s one of the biggest draws of the week, but thereâ€™s no frenzy of paparazzi photographers. (Husband David Beckham, however, did take some photos from his seat.) Beckham said she checks â€” or doublechecks â€” every look to make sure â€œit looks good from every angle.â€? The clothes for spring had a delicacy that she said was new for her this season, although the clothes remained substantial and structured. It was the touch of illusion lace, the lingerie bra top or hemline of pleated chiffon that took the edge off banded short skirts, zip-back sheaths and shirtdresses. â€œI want to design what I want to wear,â€? she said. DKNY What can stop traffic in always-bustling New York? Donna Karan in a taxicab-yellow raincoat. Karan took her bow in the eye-catcher at Sundayâ€™s DKNY New York Fashion Week preview to the delight of the fashion insiders and to the passers-by on the street who could peek in the open doors to the Chelsea studio space.

On the Edge of the Weekend

The Arts Dance will set the tone for Arts & Issues Season kicks off Oct. 11 at the Wildey Theatre By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville’s Arts & Issues season kicks off on Oct. 11 with one powerful dance production at the Wildey Theatre. New Dance Horizons, a Dance St. Louis Production, combines the ultimate quartet of collaborations when four world premieres by four St. Louis dance companies choreographed as four nationally renowned choreographers come together. Dance St. Louis brings New Dance Horizons, its own season opening show, to Edwardsville. This collaboration is a first for Dance St. Louis. It has commissioned the unique production, called Arts Alive New Dance Horizons, that brings together four renowned choreographers (Victoria Marks, Jessica Lang, Pamela Tanowitz, and Gina Patterson) each working with four of St. Louis' top professional dance companies (Saint Louis Ballet, Leverage Dance Theater – formerly aTrek Dance Collective, MADCO and Common Thread Contemporary Dance Company) to create four distinct, clever and moving world premieres. The Dance St. Louis season opens with this show on Oct. 5 and 6 at the Touhill Performing Arts Center in St. Louis, but then the dance company takes their show on the road for five performances in Missouri and Illinois. The SIUE Arts & Issues show is one of their road tour dates. Dance St. Louis Artistic and Executive Director Michael Uthoff explained how bringing the show to Edwardsville will be a unique experience for the audience. “What this program is going to do is create an excitement to all of the audience,” he said. “It’s a program that, yes, we are performing in St. Louis about four days before, but it is is the first time that we have opted to take the program to the people so that they can have it in their own backyard. It, therefore, creates an intimacy that perhaps they wouldn’t have coming to St. Louis to see it, and it’s something that we are hoping that we can do every year.” Although he hasn’t seen the show in its entirety since the works are still being perfected, Uthoff offered a glimpse into

each of the four premieres from what he’s seen in rehearsals. “Each of the works is choreographed by a different individual that brings their own flavor to it,” Uthoff said. “Jessica Lang is doing a work with Common Thread Contemporary Dance Company. She uses an original score – new music, very haunting, very beautiful, very delicate and it is a work that because she was working with a company of only women, she opted to take a quote from Virginia Woolf – 'Anonymous is a woman' – The work is very powerful, very beautiful, has an exquisite solo, and is followed by some very interesting dancing by the seven women of the company. So it’s going to be something that the audience can partake and feel involved in.” The second premiere features the St. Louis Ballet performing a new work by Pamela Tanowitz. “Pam is an up and coming choreographer out of the New York City area,” Uthoff said. “The beauty about what she is doing is that it is working a little bit in the unknown. She comes from more of a contemporary field and is working with classical ballet dancers so there’s a little bit of a glass breaking feeling where you don’t have the expectancy of security. You are never sure if this is going to happen, is this not going to happen – therefore creating a special tension and a special beauty for the audience to enjoy.” The third piece is a collaboration between Los Angeles’ Victoria Marks and Leverage Dance Theatre (formerly aTrek Dance Collective) which is a non-traditional company of artists dedicated to pushing the boundaries of dance in and around

the St. Louis community. Uthoff said the piece they are working on is called Dancing to Music. “This is a very striking piece in that there is very little dancing in it,” he said. “It’s actually four women that could be standing at a subway station in New York or London – could be standing in front of a train that is taking them somewhere – to some resort or some concentration camp – however you want to interpret it. It lets the audience get a real personal take and it’s stylistically simple in which its movements create canons and unison in movement that gives the audience specific tensions and beauties.” The last premiere piece is by Gina Patterson who is working with MADCO, the professional dance company in residence at the Touhill Performing Arts Center that is known for its versatile and athletic style. “Gina has a very broad balance of dancing. She moves people very well,” Uthoff said. Uthoff further pointed out that Patterson’s work was going to be performed to a score by the Soulard Band of St. Louis. “It should be a fun piece that captures the feeling of the blues and the Mississippi River,” Uthoff added. This collaborative show may be a first of its kind. “I don’t recall anywhere in the country or the world that this kind of thing is being done by a local presenter commissioning new work to enhance the local dance community,” he added. “It’s something special that they will make special by being in the audience.” Uthoff has led Dance St. Louis for the past six years. He has an impressive background. Born in Santiago, Chile, to former dancers, he began dancing after high school. He attended the Julliard School of Music, School of American Ballet and Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance. He’s danced with the Joffrey Ballet and founded Hartford Ballet in Hartford, Conn. in 1972 which he directed for 20 years. He has also taught at numerous colleges over the years, has choreographed for nearly 40 different companies around the world and has also directed opera.

The Arts St. Louis group puts a hilarious twist on the master's work By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge

nybody who thinks Shakespeare is for stuffy literary types definitely needs to go see the Improvised Shakespeare Company. This hilarious show is a mashup of classic Shakespeare and modern sketch comedy. Forget Laurence Olivier, this is Shakespeare like you’ve never seen it before.

The troupe returns to the Touhill Performing Arts Center by popular demand for three performances at 8 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 28. and at 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29. in the E. Desmond & Mary Ann Lee Theater. The troupe also is conducting a master class on Friday at 3 p.m. As the title suggests, each performance is completely improvised but in the Elizabethan style. Nothing is written or rehearsed. It’s a completely new performance every time. Company members craft an entirely new two-act comedic play based on a titled suggested by the audience. Using traditional Shakespearian-style language, they reveal the history, romance, power struggles and tragedy of the Bard’s plays but with a humor modern audiences can appreciate. Whether it’s a pair of star-crossed lovers, moping princes, swordwielding kings or persons in disguise, each performance brings Shakespeare’s characters and plots to life in a way that you’ve never seen before. For example, you

For The Edge

A scene from a recent performance by the Improvised Shakespeare Company. might see “Hamlet” performed with a Star Trek theme or Ross and Rachel as Romeo and Juliet. I’m just making this up, of course, but you get the idea. That’s the beauty of Shakespeare. You can transport these stories of kings and queens, lovers and enemies, friends and foes to just about any era or setting but the wider themes of love, hate, jealousy and ambition still come through regardless of who is telling the story. The Improvised Shakespeare Company was founded in 2005 and has been performing its

critically-acclaimed show every Friday night at the world famous iO Theater in Chicago, according to the company’s website at www. improvisedshakespeare.com. The troupe entertains audiences all over the world with its touring company. The ISC has performed at the Piccolo Spoleto Fringe Festival, Off Broadway in New York City, the Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival, UCB’s Del Close Marathon, and the prestigious Just For Laughs festival in Montreal and Chicago, according to the website. Both the

Chicago Reader and the Chicago Examiner have named the ISC Chicago’s best improv group, and it has also received a New York Nightlife Award for “Best Comedic Performance by a Group” and was honored by the Chicago Improv Foundation as its “Ensemble of the Year.” “Audiences get two acts – lasting 90 minutes – of the Bard, as if channeled by Monty Python,” wrote Kevin Pang in the Chicago Tribune. “The actors, in tunics and knee-high socks, play star-crossed lovers and sprites

in an impromptu play where the audience suggestion might be, say, The Jackson 5.” Tickets for The Improvised Shakespeare Company are $30. They are on sale now at the Touhill Performing Arts Center Ticket Office; online atwww.touhill.org; or by phone at 314-516-4949. The Touhill’s Ticket Office is located at One University Blvd., St. Louis, Mo., 63121. For more information about the Improvised Shakespeare Company, visit www.improvisedshakespeare. com.

This show is the gold standard by which all others are measured, reigning as a triumphant American masterpiece. With joyous show-stoppers and gorgeous ballads such as “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “On the Street Where You Live,” and “Get Me to the Church on Time,” Lerner and Loewe’s score couldn’t be closer to pure perfection. You’ll “grow accustomed” to this “loverly” classic as “your heart takes flight” in My Fair Lady!

On the Edge of the Weekend

The Arts Artistic adventures Edison Theatre to host Leo F=Gm1m2/d2. Well. Of course it does. New t o n ’ s U n i v e r s a l L a w o f Gravity is a pillar of physics, a monument of mathematics, a timeless, unchanging tribute to scientific reasoning. Tell it all to Leo, when his world goes suddenly, inexplicably t o p s y - t u r v y. T h o u g h a t f i r s t disconcerted, this unflappable everyman quickly grows curious and then increasingly playful, nonchalantly scaling the walls like a cross between Buster Keaton and Spiderman. On Oct. 5 and 6, Edison will present Leo, the newest creation from Berlin’s Circle of Eleven, as part of its fall Ovations Series. Conceived by and starring the a c ro b a t i c To b i a s We g n e r, t h e surreal one-man-show is “an eyeteasing, grin-inducing, deeply impressive work of sustained absurdist magic” (Time Out New York). T h e w i n n e r o f t h re e m a j o r awards at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Leo cleverly splits the stage between live performance and video projection. The audience watches both versions at once. Yet the camera is askew: the floor of one room becomes the wall of the other. A simple action, such as standing upright, can appear an impossible feat, while merely sitting can require virtuoso gymnastics, with Wegner casually positioned cross-legged on the wall. But even while adjusting to such novel physics, Leo becomes lonely and eventually exhausted with his confinement. Soon, h o w e v e r, h e d i s c o v e r s a n e w s o u rc e o f a d v e n t u re , h i d d e n within a mysterious suitcase that may, or may not, provide the key to freedom. “The joy of Leo is partly seeing his gravity-defying antics as his world and ours collide,” says Three Weeks: Edinburgh. “Mostly, however, it’s from watching the amazing performance put in by Wegner as he presents an utterly convincing impression of altered gravity, dancing brilliantly and even playing the sax.” Or, as The New York Times puts it, “the audience gets gravitydefying spectacle and the wizard behind the curtain at the same time.” Performances of Leo take place at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 5 and 6. Tickets are $36, or $32 seniors, $28 for Washington University faculty and staff and

$20 for students and children. Ti c k e t s a re available at the Edison Box Office and through all MetroTix outlets. Edison Theatre is located in the Mallinckrodt Center, 6445 Forsyth Blvd. For more information, call (314) 935-6543, e-mail edison@wustl. edu or visit edison.wustl.edu. E d i s o n p ro g r a m s a re m a d e possible with support from the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency; the Regional Arts Commission, St. Louis; and private contributors.

Art Museum announces dates for opening of East Building The Board of Commissioners of the Saint Louis Art Museum is pleased to announce the opening dates for its new East Building, designed by renowned British architect Sir David Chipperfield. A free, two-day public festival June 29-30, 2013 will invite the entire community to celebrate the completion of this landmark project. “St. Louisans can look at this accomplishment with pride,” said J. Patrick Mulcahy, President of the Board of Commissioners. “Each of us has taken a role in securing the Saint Louis Art Museum’s place among the great art museums of the world.” The 200,000-square-foot East Building has been sited to the east and south of the Museum’s Main Building, designed in the Beaux Arts style by architect Cass Gilbert and completed for the city’s 1904 World’s Fair. Chipperfield’s design for the new East Building features a dramatic dark, polished concrete façade incorporating Missouri river aggregates, and new galleries and public spaces with skylights and floor-to-ceiling windows that invite and provide views from both inside and outside. “The expansion project is transformational. Every area of our collection is benefitting from additional gallery space,” said Museum Director Brent R. Benjamin. “The new building will enable a dramatically expanded presentation of the great strengths of the collection, including works of art that have rarely, and in some cases never been on public view.” In addition to providing a 30% increase in the Museum’s gallery and public spaces, the design more than doubles the Museum’s previous parking capacity and includes a 100-seat destination restaurant with sweeping views of Forest Park. The project has also

allowed extensive improvements to the South Building’s education spaces and auditorium. The $162 million project was made possible by the largest capital campaign for a cultural institution in St. Louis history. “The success of this project is the result of St. Louisans stepping forward to support their Art Museum and its future,” said John Weil, Chair of the Campaign Steering Committee and President of the Board of Commissioners (20082011). Details on the two-day celebration as well as events leading up to the opening are being developed; for more information visit slam.org/ expansion.

Arnold Newman: Luminaries of the Twentieth Century in Art, P o l i t i c s a n d C u l t u re f e a t u re s photographs of some of the most innovative minds and personalities that defined a century as seen through the eyes of one of its

own: Arnold Newman. With over 60 images, this collection features portraits of those who gave rise to the ideas and concepts that have shaped our world, including Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian, Marcel Duchamp, Igor Stravinsky, Jackson Pollock, Salvador Dali, Alexander C a l d e r, Ay n R a n d , L a n g s t o n Hughes, Martha Graham, Man Ray, Leonard Bernstein, Georgia O’Keeffe, Andy Warhol, John F. Kennedy, Philip Glass and Woody Allen, among many others. With a career spanning 60 years, Newman’s body of work reads as a roll-call of the most influential names of the 20th century. Arnold Newman (1918-2006) is acknowledged as one of the great masters of photography, and his work has changed t h e p h o t o g r a p h i c p o r t r a i t . Recognized as the “Father of Environmental Portraiture,” Newman was influenced by early photographers like Alfred Stieglitz and the school of Modernism. He quickly developed his own unique visual style and technique, placing his subjects in the midst of the stuff of their genius. His portraits at once speak to his talent as a photographer and his unparalleled ability to capture the personality of his subjects. Born on March 3, 1918 in New York City, Newman was raised in Atlantic City, New Jersey and M i a m i B e a c h , F l o r i d a . F ro m 1936 – 1938, he studied art at the University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida, where he received a scholarship. Newman began his career in photography in 1938 working at chain portrait studios in Philadelphia, Baltimore and West Palm Beach, but immediately began working in abstract and documentary photography on his own. In June of 1941, Beaumont Newhall of the Museum of Modern Art and Alfred Stieglitz “discovered” him, and he was given an exhibit with Ben Rose at the A.D. Gallery. In 1945, his one-man exhibit, Artists Look Like This, at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, attracted nationwide a t t e n t i o n . We l l e s t a b l i s h e d , he moved to New York in 1946, opened a studio and became a member of the American Society

of Magazine Photographers (ASMP). N e w m a n h a s b e e n p ro f i l e d extensively in domestic and international magazines and is featured in photographic books, histories of photography and television documentaries. His work has been the focus of twelve monographs, and he was an important contributor to magazines like Life, Holiday, L o o k , Va n i t y F a i r, S c i e n t i f i c American, Town and Country, E s q u i re , Tr a v e l a n d L e i s u re , Harper ’s Bazaar, The New Yorker and others. Newman’s work has been the focus of many solo exhibitions both nationally and internationally and is found in private and public collections including the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; Art Institute of Chicago; Philadelphia Museum of Art; International Museum of Photography at George Eastman H o u s e , R o c h e s t e r, N e w Yo r k ; Center for Creative Photography, University of Arizona, Tucson; National Gallery of Canada, O t t a w a ; Vi c t o r i a a n d A l b e r t Museum, London; the Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Australia N a t i o n a l G a l l e r y, C a n b e r r a ; Israel Museum, Jerusalem; Tel Av i v M u s e u m , I s r a e l ; N i h o n University Collection of Art, To k y o ; S t e d e l i j k M u s e u m , Amsterdam; International Center of Photography, NYC; and many others. The not-for-profit Sheldon Art Galleries exhibits works by local, national and international artists in all mediums. Over 6,000 square feet of the galleries’ spaces on the 2nd floor are permanently devoted to rotating exhibits of photography, architecture, jazz art and history, and children's art. A sculpture garden, seen from both the atrium lobby and the connecting glass bridge, features periodic rotations and installations, and the Nancy Spirtas Kranzberg Gallery on the lower level features art of all mediums. The Sheldon actively supports the work of St. Louis artists and features a dedicated gallery with museum-quality exhibits by St. Louis artists, past and present.
