"It's a Wonderful Life" live Wildey kicks off the holidays with two special screenings today

By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge

T

he holidays are right a r o u n d t h e c o r n e r, and what better way to ring in the holiday season than by watching “It’s a Wonderful Life” on the big screen?

The Friends of the Wildey will be presenting two showings of “It’s a Wonderful Life” on Nov. 12 at 2 p.m and 7 p.m. with a special guest appearance of Karolyn Grimes, who played ZuZu Bailey in the film.

Grimes will be on hand to tell stories, answer questions and sign autographs.

Released in December of 1946, the “It’s a Wonderful Life” quickly became a holiday movie classic with the famous line, “Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.”

Starring Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed and Lionel Barrymore, “It’s a Wonderful Life” received five Academy Award nominations in 1946 but won just one, technical achievement, for the development of a new method of making snow.

The film rose to its iconic status, however, in the 70s when it became a family television holiday staple. It’s value in the production of American film was recognized nearly two decades later when it was added to the National Film Registry in 1990, a year after the U.S. Library of Congress established the registry. The registry, which adds just 25 films each year, was created to preserve films deemed “culturally, historically or aesthetically important.”

Join the Friends of the Wildey for two showings of this timeless Frank Capra classic on Nov. 12 and meet Grimes, who will be on hand at both showings to sign autographs, answer questions and tell stories about her experiences a ZuZu. As a child actress, Grimes also appeared in cinematic classics such as “The Bishop’s Wife” with Cary Grant, “Rio Grande” with John Wayne, “Blue Skies” with Bing Crosby and “Hans Christian Anderson” with Danny Kaye.

“Could there be a better way to “ring” in the holiday season than by showing “It’s a Wonderful Life” and bringing ZuZu to Edwardsville?”

Friends of Wildey Board Member and event organizer SJ Morrison said. “We couldn’t be more excited about this opportunity to host one of the movie’s only surviving cast members and present this iconic film at the Wildey.”

Tickets for “It’s a Wonderful Life: An Evening with ZuZu” are $15 for adults and $10 for senior citizens and students under 18. Tickets can be purchased online at: www.

WildeyTheatre.com or by calling 618307-1750.

“It’s a Wonderful Life” trivia will also take place at 6:30 p.m., prior to the 7 p.m. showing.

The event is sponsored by: Bank of Springfield – Glen Carbon Banking Center, the law firm of Byron Carlson Petri & Kalb, LLC and the “Jen & Jean Team” of RE/MAX Alliance.

All proceeds from the event will benefit the Wildey Theatre, a cityowned community performing arts theater located at 252 N. Main Street in downtown Edwardsville.

People Fundraisers know cause all too well Lynne F. Solon Foundation wine tasting scheduled

By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge

J

ennifer Solon-Finley was just 21 years old when her mother Lynne Solon passed away in 1993 from complications of type one diabetes. Lynne, who was just 42 at the time of her passing, had battled diabetes since being diagnosed at the age of 9.

The Solon family started the Lynne F. Solon Foundation that year to honor the memory of Lynne. Since that time, Jennifer has proudly assisted with the foundation to provide a source of funding for children diagnosed with diabetes to attend the American Diabetes Association’s camping programs and other outreach programs.

One of the camps that the foundation funds for children ages 9 to 17 to attend each summer is the American Diabetes Association’s Camp EDI. The camp provides typical fun camp activities for the youngsters but campers also participate in daily “wellness classes” where they learn diabetes self-management skills and the importance of exercise, diet and insulin (EDI).

The work the Solon family has done to help children with diabetes attend this educational diabetes camp would turn even more personal for the family when Jennifer ’s 6-year-old son, Thomas, was diagnosed with type one diabetes in March of last year.

Jennifer noted that she had been suspicious for about two months prior to Thomas’ diagnosis that he may indeed have diabetes. “For my sister, Bridget, and myself, our mother used to tell us when we were younger, 'If you have children, you need to watch your children for (diabetic) symptoms,'” Jennifer recalled.

Thomas had demonstrated a few of the symptoms that Lynne had warned her daughters to be on the lookout for.

“Thomas was always thirsty and he was always hungry. But you kind of write it off.

I was like OK, he’s sick, he plays basketball, he’s very active,” Jennifer explained.

But as symptoms progressed, Jennifer and her husband immediately took Thomas in for testing, and Thomas was diagnosed with having type one diabetes. “I only thought about it because I grew up having a mom who had diabetes and she did tell us to watch our kids,” Jennifer said. “That being said it’s still a hard diagnosis to get even if you have the family history.”

Although Thomas received his diagnosis at the age of 6 – a year too young to attend the American Diabetes Association EDI Camp’s mini-camp for ages 7 to 9 – he went for the first time this past June. “He enjoyed it. He’s like any 7 year old going away to overnight camp. He missed us, but they had some pretty awesome activities,” Jennifer said. “I think it was good for Thomas to be around other children who have this condition. He learned how to get his own shots so he’s able to do that and he’s able to calculate how much insulin he needs when he gets his shots. He’s pretty on top of the situation.”

Thomas monitors his blood glucose levels anywhere from six to eight times every day as his blood glucose levels can fluctuate before and after meals and exercise. “He is very in tune with his body and the changes in his body. He can sense when he needs to check his blood sugar,” Jennifer noted.

It’s been a life-changing diagnosis but one that Thomas has adapted to with the support of his family, doctors and community. “He is seen by the endocrinology team at Cardinal Glennon, and they are fantastic,” Jennifer emphasized. “They’ve done great things with education, and they’ve been helpful with Thomas’ school, St. Mary’s in Edwardsville.”

Thomas Finley “St. Mary’s has been very supportive through the whole time since diagnosis,” Jennifer added. “The principal and two administrative assistants have been trained on how to check blood sugars and check insulin so that’s very helpful.

He looks to them as his team and they take very good care of him.”

“It was sad at first, and it continues to be sad sometimes but we have the family history. And our friends our very supportive, the school is extremely supportive – whatever he needs they accommodate him,” Jennifer said.

“Overall it’s going very well.”

Although Thomas is now only 8 years old, he has become more involved with the foundation. He and Jennifer accepted a donation last week from the Okaw Valley Classic Chevy Club, which has supported the Lynne F. Solon foundation for the past three years.

November 12, 2015

Jennifer had accepted the donation by herself last year and told the group of Thomas’ then recent diagnosis. So this year, they asked if Thomas would come along to receive the donation and talk about his camp experience which he happily did.

The Lynne F. Solon Foundation hosts an annual wine, beer, and spirit tasting fundraiser every year as its primary fundraiser.

This year ’s “Uncorked! A Holiday Wine Experience” will take place from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Nov. 20 in the Leclaire Room on the Lewis and Clark Community College’s N.O. Nelson Campus located at 600 Troy Road in Edwardsville.

This sixth annual wine and beer tasting fundraiser is a premiere buying event for the upcoming holiday season. It will provide guests with the opportunity to

taste a variety of wine, beer and spirits as well as place orders for the products – at special pricing – that can then be picked up at GC Cuisine in Edwardsville.

Three different distributors – Wirtz, Fritz and Donnewald - will be supplying the wine, beer and spirits. Donnewald will also be featuring Urban Chestnut, a craft brewery out of St. Louis.

Tickets are $35 and include an appetizer buffet, the beer, spirit and wine tasting, and a silent auction.

Tickets can be purchased by visiting the Lynne F. Solon Foundation Facebook page for a link to ticket ordering or contacting Jennifer at 618-659-0197.

The Goddard School of Edwardsville will be providing free childcare for ticket holders from 6:30-9:30 p.m. Parents must RSVP by Nov. 15 by calling Miss Jennifer, Goddard School’s Director of Operations, at 618-692-9464.

People People planner Boeing to be presenting sponsor of 2016 Spirit of St. Louis Air Show

The Boeing Company will be the presenting sponsor of the 2016 Spirit of St. Louis Air Show and STEM Expo in honor of the company’s 100th anniversary next year.

The Spirit of St. Louis Air Show & STEM Expo will be held on May 14-15, 2016, and will be headlined by performances by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels flight demonstration squadron, flying the St. Louisbuilt Boeing F/A-18 Hornet, and many other flight performances and static-aircraft displays.

The event’s popular STEM Expo highlights the science, technology, engineering and math initiatives of academic, business and notfor-profit institutions in the St. Louis area and inspires youth to pursue these important areas.

A l s o f e a t u re d i s t h e Ve t e r a n Village, which provides a venue where key resource providers can share valuable information and connectivity for military members who have recently or will soon return to civilian life.

“Boeing is tightly woven into the fabric of aviation heritage in the St. Louis region and is a leader in promoting the high-technology resources of our communities,” said John Bales, president of the Spirit of St. Louis Air Show & STEM Expo and Spirit of St. Louis Airport director. “We appreciate the support and confidence of this fine company and are proud to once again have the Boeing name associated with this event.”

The Spirit of St. Louis Air Show & STEM Expo and the Blue Angels return to the area after the previous air show in May 2014.

“The Blue Angels exemplify the dedication and excellence of the men and women who serve our country in our armed forces, as well as the tremendous aerospace workforce here in St. Louis,” said Megan Davies, Boeing director of Global Corporate Citizenship.

“We are pleased to be part of this event, which salutes not only those who serve and who have served our nation, but also the many organizations, including B o e i n g , t h a t a re i n v e s t i n g i n quality STEM education to ensure our nation and region remain strong.”

The Blue Angels perform before an estimated 11 million spectators each show season. The 2014 Spirit of St. Louis Air Show & STEM Expo attracted more than 125,000 people to the event, with many more watching from surrounding vantage points.

The 2016 show season will mark the Blue Angels’ 70th anniversary of its first demonstration in Jacksonville, Fla., in 1946.

Paul Iribe. The cover of their second issue depicts Kaiser Wilhelm II as the German hero Lohengrin, but wittily replaces the knight’s legendary swan boat with a red, grasping crayfish.

Conversely, the German magazine Simplicissimus, a longtime government critic, now voiced patriotic support. A striking cover from October 1914 — by Thomas Theodor Heine, who’d once been jailed for caricaturing the Kaiser — shows a colonial Englishman, pith helmet ajar, clutching precariously at a blood-soaked globe.

Other works play on visual codes such as the Russian bear and the French Marianne. A series of rarely seen images by avant-garde artist Kazimir Malevich and poet Vladimir Mayakovsky, modeled on popular Russian prints known as lubki, depict idealized peasants in traditional costume fearlessly routing enemy troops.

Images of War But for witnesses on the ground, arguments about cultural superiority quickly paled. “Images of War,” the exhibition’s second section, collects artworks, letters, diaries and other first-person accounts that demonstrate the yawning gap between rhetoric and the reality of battle.

Symbolist Henry de Groux, who fled Belgium just ahead of German i n v a s i o n , c a p t u re s t h e a i r o f menace with his dark and swirling “Grenade Thrower,” from the series “Le visage de la victoire” (1914-16).

In “The Trench” (1915-16), Swiss-born artist Félix Vallotton depicts a line of French soldiers, only helmets and bayonets visible, as the earth explodes behind them.

A never-before-exhibited war diary by futurist Umberto Boccioni, who died in 1916, details a tumultuous period on the Italian front. The expressionist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, who was deeply scarred by his time in the German Army — and whom, decades later, the Nazi’s would brand a “degenerate artist” — drew the Apocalypse on the backs of cigarette boxes.

Also included are rare examples of handmade “trench art,” with

World War I art exhibit open

War looks different, before you’re in it.

In 1914, as Europe lumbered optimistically to battle, a proxy fight was joined in the pages of popular media. Combatant nations, seeking cultural as well as military dominance, deployed visual propaganda to rally support and attack enemies. Yet as the death toll mounted, a generation of artists, many of whom served in uniform, sought new artistic languages to convey the grief and horror they had witnessed.

This fall, the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at Washington University in St. Louis will present “World War I: War of Images, Images of War.” Drawn primarily from the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles, where it debuted in fall 2014, the exhibition features more than 150 objects that together chart a chronological path from exuberant outbreak through years of grinding combat and into the long, unsettled aftermath.

The exhibit will be on display through Jan. 4.

Included are paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, illustrated journals, correspondence from the front and other materials by artists such as Max Beckmann, Umberto Boccioni, Georges Braque, Otto Dix, Natalia Goncharova, George Grosz, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Käthe Kollwitz, Fernand Léger and Kazimir Malevich.

War of Images The exhibition opens with “War of Images,” which explores how different nations sought to elevate their own cultural symbols while denigrating the supposed national traits — German barbarism, British imperialism, French decadence, Russian cowardice — of opponents.

French artist Jean Cocteau, whose health prevented enlistment but who later drove a Red Cross ambulance, co-founded the journal Le Mot (“The Word”) with designer

which soldiers memorialized their units and the battles they fought.

These range from painted helmets and an engraved canteen to small objects made from shell casings.

Aftermath The final section, “Aftermath,” opens with celebrations of armistice and photographs of jubilant French crowds. Yet even for Allies, victory was pyrrhic. Fernand Léger, who barely survived mustard gas, fills his illustrations for Blaise Cendrars’ “J’ai tué” (“I Have Killed”) (1918) with rifles, helmets and fractured war matériel.

The Germans Max Beckmann, Otto Dix and George Grosz spent years coming to terms with their experiences, with Dix in particular returning obsessively to the subject. In addition to several prints, the exhibition features re c o rd i n g s , m a d e i n 1 9 6 3 , i n which Dix discusses his time as a machine-gunner on the Western front.

But the costs of combat are not paid by soldiers alone. Käthe K o l l w i t z ’ s s o n , P e t e r, w a s a student in Berlin when fighting began. He quickly enlisted and died in Flanders — the first of his regiment to fall. A decade later, the grieving mother completed “Seven Woodcuts about the War” (1924), a searing testament to the anguish of those left behind. As Kollwitz would write to one of Peter ’s comrades, himself later

People People planner Churchill's paintings on display

The shore is rendered in soft warm blues and thick buttery yellows. Swimmers wade into the water as a heavy black cannon trains a gleaming barrel towards the darkening horizon. “Beach at Walmer� (c. 1938) is a picture of stubborn vigilance, all the more resonant for the circumstances of its creation. Painted on the English Channel shortly before the outbreak of World War II, it is the work of Winston Churchill, the future prime minister and a chief architect of Allied victory, but then a lonely voice in British Parliament warning against the Nazi storm.

This fall, the National Churchill Museum at Westminster College in Fulton, Mo., and the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at Washington University in St. Louis will feature “Beach at Walmer� and 46 other works in the exhibit “The Paintings of Sir Winston Churchill.� Presented in association with “Churchill 2015,� a worldwide commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Churchill’s death, the exhibition is among the most significant displays of Churchill’s work ever in North America.

Featured are canvases representing five decades of Churchill’s paintings, drawn from public and private collections in the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States. Also included are Churchill’s traveling easel, one sculpture by Churchill and a portrait of Churchill by Sir John Lavery. Major lenders include Chartwell, Churchill’s historic family estate in Kent and part of The United Kingdom National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty, as well as The Royal Academy of Arts, London, and the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in Canada. “This exhibition collects most of the very best of Churchill’s painting,� said Timothy Riley, painting curator for the National Churchill Museum and co-author, with Churchill’s granddaughter Edwina Sandys, of “Winston Churchill: A Passion for Painting,� forthcoming from The National Churchill Museum and Donning Company Publishers. “Some of these works have seldom, if ever, been seen outside of the United Kingdom. It represents an incredible opportunity, for museumgoers and students of history alike, to explore who, as an artist, Churchill truly was,� he said. ‘Audacity is the only ticket’ Today, Churchill is remembered as the “British Bulldog� who lifted spirits amidst the London Blitz, rousing Great Britain to what he memorably called its “finest hour.�

Many consider his “Iron Curtain� speech, which diagnosed the dangers of postwar Soviet expansionism — and which was delivered at Westminster College — to mark the beginning of the Cold War. Yet Churchill also was a dedicated amateur artist. He first took up brushes in 1915 at age 40, after being ousted as First Lord of the Admiralty during Britain’s disastrous Gallipoli campaign. “I had great anxiety and no means of relieving it,� he recalled in his 1921 essay “Painting as a Pastime� (later the basis of a book).

But in the weeks that followed, he watched with interest as his sister-inlaw painted in the garden. She urged him to give it a try.

For the rest of his life — at home, on holiday and even, occasionally, on the battlefield — Churchill’s oils were rarely far from hand. Painting

was a joy and a consolation, a source of sustenance and an intellectual challenge. He became an avid museum-goer, befriended such contemporary painters as Lavery and Paul Maze, and copied works

by Paul CĂŠzanne and John Singer Sargent, among many others. “There really is no time for the deliberate approach,â€? he observed. “Two years of drawing lessons, three years of copying woodcuts, five years of plaster casts ‌ these are for the young.â€?

For the self-taught latecomer, “audacity� as he once famously said, was “the only ticket.� ‘Painting is like a battle’ Churchill often discussed his craft in military terms. “Painting is like a battle,� he mused, “and trying to paint a picture is, I suppose, like trying to fight a battle.� But the battle on canvas, at least, was seldom explicitly political. Of his nearly 575 completed paintings, 350 are landscapes or seascapes.

Instead, Churchill grappled with the materials, techniques and traditions of painting itself. It was a battle to capture everything at once, the parts and whole, in all their simultaneous complexity.

Still, as “Beach at Walmer� demonstrates, Churchill’s painting was not immune to external circumstance. “Tower of Koutoubia Mosque� (1943), the only painting Churchill was able to complete during World War II, commemorates a trip to Marrakech, Morocco, which he visited with Franklin D. Roosevelt following their historic Casablanca Conference.

Churchill later gave the painting to Roosevelt as a symbol of their friendship, and Marrakech — with its historic architecture and views

of the Atlas Mountains — would prove a favorite subject to which the painter frequently returned. In 1951, Churchill delivered a similar canvas to Harry S. Truman, calling it “about as presentable as anything I can produce.�

Such self-deprecation, especially in a world leader, is perhaps strategically charming, yet the remark does seem to capture the mix of pride and genuine humility with which Churchill viewed his art.

Indeed, for a man of his gifts and responsibilities, the opportunity to indulge an honest enthusiasm must have felt a profound relief. As the “pastime painter� once remarked to Sir John Rothenstein, director of the Tate Gallery: “If it weren’t for painting, I couldn’t live. I couldn’t bear the strain of things.�

The exhibition remains on view through Feb. 14, 2016. The museum is located on Washington University’s Danforth Campus, near the intersection of Skinker and Forsyth boulevards. Regular hours are 11 a.m.-5 p.m. daily except Tuesdays and 11 a.m.-8 p.m. the first Friday of the month. The museum is closed Tuesdays.

The museum is open to the public and admission is free.

Website focuses on Missouri's Civil War heritage

Missouri's Civil War Heritage Foundation announced the launch of mobattlefields.com, a web resource developed in conjunction with the National Park Service. The site chronicles the work of a team of archeologists who have studied important Missouri Civil War battlefields since 2005, most recently a survey of the 1862 Battle of Moore's Mill in Callaway County.

The development of the website was made possible by a grant of the American Battlefield Protection Program of the National Park Service, which also funded a field survey of the Moore' Mill battlefield and the nomination of that battlefield to the National Register of Historic Places. The grant was obtained in 2012 and administered by Missouri's Civil War Heritage Foundation.

The new website currently focuses on the campaign of Confederate Colonel Joseph C. Porter, which covered a large area in northeast Missouri from June to October, 1862.

The Battle of Moore's Mill, east of Fulton, Missouri, was fought on July 28, 1862, and was an important part of Porter's campaign. In addition to an extensive history of Porter's campaign, the website offers site visitors the opportunity to download and print a technical report prepared by archeologists and historians involved in the Moore's Mill survey. Also accessible is a technical report of a survey of the 1863 Battle of Marshall, Missouri, prepared by the same team.

Dr. Doug Scott, who heads the American Institute of Battlefield Archeology (an affiliate of Missouri's Civil War Heritage Foundation), led the Moore's Mill survey along with Dr. Steve Dasovich of Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri. Dr. Scott noted that the website will expand to cover other archeology sites in Missouri, and will include access to survey reports for field work done on the battlefields of Centralia and Boonville, and others.

"We're grateful to the American Battlefield Protection Program for the confidence it has shown in our team," said Scott. "This repository will provide free access to scholars, students and the public to important research that expands the scope of knowledge of Missouri's Civil War,' he added.

QuickGlance Movie Reviews

"Rock the Kasbah"

Bill Murray is asleep. Or at least he appears to be sleeping when we first meet his character, the down and out music manager Richie Lanz, in "Rock the Kasbah."

Holed up in a dingy San Fernando Valley motel room, he's at least half listening to the shrill sounds of a woman singing Maroon 5 and deciding whether or not to sign her. He does, and promptly collects a $1200 fee from his newest client. His other client, Ronnie (Zooey Deschanel, sporting hot pants and smeared eyeliner), who also seems to double as his assistant, scolds him for playing this game and abusing the hopes — and checkbooks — of gullible dreamers. Then he takes Ronnie out to a dive bar and has her sing some cover songs.

This is Richie. Swindling some, going to bat for others and never really getting anywhere in the process.

It's an inauspicious, and grating, start to the film from "Scrooged" writer Mitch Glazer and "Diner," and "Good Morning, Vietnam" director Barry Levinson. Thankfully, Murray wakes up, and the movie gets a little better, but in sum, "Rock the Kasbah" is a strange mishmash of snark, sincerity, slapstick and glib cultural appropriation that's redeemed in part only by the eternal charisma of Murray.

Ronnie doesn't get discovered at the bar, per se, but a drunk guy convinces Richie to take her to Afghanistan to play for the troops. From there, the movie suddenly becomes a mad-cap series of increasingly disparate events as Richie struts and jokes his way through a foreign land after Ronnie absconds with his money and passport.

Within a day of discovering that he's stranded in Kabul for a few weeks, he's inexplicably cruising the city's dangerous streets in a white convertible with some fedora-wearing war profiteers (Danny McBride, Scott Caan) and trading in a Keith Haring watch to bed the region's most popular prostitute (Kate Hudson). Soon enough, he's riding through the desert with Bruce Willis's short-fused mercenary soldier and discussing that time he dated Danielle Steele while on his way to negotiate a weapons sale with the leaders of a tiny village.

The movie is half over before Richie finally meets Salima (Leem Lubany), a Pashtun girl with a voice to kill and a penchant for Cat Stevens. He hears her singing "Trouble" while he's out relieving himself one night and decides that getting this girl on "Afghan Star" is his new purpose in life, even though it might mean death for both himself and Salima.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "language including sexual references, some drug use and brief violence."

RUNNING TIME: 100 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: One and a half stars out of four.

"Burnt"

The best thing going for Bradley Cooper's character in "Burnt" are his bright blue eyes. His Adam Jones is apparently a gifted chef, but with his arrogant persona and penchant for loud outbursts, it hardly seems worth finding out, even despite those baby blues.

Jones is so unlikeable that spending 100 minutes with him on screen is as unpleasant as languishing over a bad meal — you just want to kind of walk away and find something better.

"Burnt" is further hampered by narrative loose ends, clunky, explanatory dialogue, and a love interest (Siena Miller) who behaves as no real woman would.

Written by Steven Knight ("Pawn Sacrifice") and directed

by John Wells ("August: Osage County"), "Burnt" follows Jones' efforts to restore his cooking career after a bout of bad behavior and return to Michelin Star status.

The film opens with the embattled chef shucking oysters in New Orleans. The job is a penance, Cooper's Jones explains in voiceover: He was once a promising young chef with the opportunity to run his mentor's restaurant, only to squander his future with drugs, infidelity and an inflated sense of importance.

"Brooklyn"

"Brooklyn" is a story for anyone who has ever left home. It's a story for those who've waffled in indecision, for those forming their identities and forging their own paths. It's a story awash in muted pastel nostalgia about family and love and ambition and heritage and goodbyes.

And it's one of the loveliest films to grace cinemas this year.

There's very little drama in this tale of a young woman, Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan), who leaves her small Irish town and her mother and sister in the 1950s to find a life and career in New York.

That might make it feel to some like it's not a full movie. We've been trained to expect horrible things to happen to the people we're groomed to love and root for, especially in immigrant tales. Here things are just normal.

Eilis is cripplingly homesick at first, but she's not mistreated at work. She doesn't suffer extreme hardships or experience any prejudice for her background or gender. Her family doesn't disown her. Her boyfriend doesn't harbor dark secrets and the priest (Jim Broadbent) who gets her a job, a place to live, and a spot at a night college is actually just there to help and support.

If anything, "Brooklyn," based on Colm Tóibín's 2009 novel, challenges the viewer to focus on the heart by not having any such dramatic crutches. Eilis just has to work and figure out what she wants.

We meet her first at a dead end job as a shop girl in the tiny town of Enniscorthy, but she's already got a way out.

Her sister has made an appeal to an Irish priest living in New York who's agreed to sponsor her trip across the Atlantic and set up a job and housing. Eilis knows it's the only way to get her life started even though she's heartbroken to leave.

Ronan, who has proven herself to be one of our most talented ingénues, makes Eilis a leading lady that we usually don't get to see. She's smart and ambitious, but still quiet and reflective. She's polite, but not a pushover.

She's good, but not prudish. She's pretty, too, but in an understated way that makes most men overlook her. At a dance early on, one actually sneers in her direction.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "a scene of sexuality and brief strong language."

RUNNING TIME: 111 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.

"The Peanuts Movie"

Maybe the Peanuts gang hasn't been on the big screen in decades because they've had so much success on the small one, with specials like "The Great Pumpkin" and "A Charlie Brown Christmas" that have been annual TV traditions since the 1960s.

Thankfully, "The Peanuts Movie" isn't just a small-screen special writ large. The filmmakers take advantage of their cinematic scope with a bigger story, more sophisticated animation and effective use of 3-D that gives new depth to the Peanuts world. But the characters loved by generations of fans — Lucy, Linus, Snoopy, Woodstock and beloved blockhead Charlie Brown — are as charming and timeless as ever.

It's been nearly 40 years since the last Peanuts film, 1977's "Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown." The gang's other theatrical outings were "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" in 1969 and "Snoopy, Come Home" in 1972.

November 12, 2015

"The Peanuts Movie," written by the son and grandson of Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz, doesn't cover new thematic territory, but it doesn't really need to. Relying on 50 years of character development, the Peanuts gang stays true to their original selves — there's no new edge or post-modern snark in the mix. The central concepts (be honest, be yourself, do your best) are as gentle as the curves of Charlie Brown's silhouette.

There are two simultaneous stories at play in the film: one set in the "real world" of Charlie Brown and his friends, and a more fantastical tale of Snoopy as his alter-ego, the Flying Ace. "The Peanuts Movie" opens during wintertime, and a snowy introductory scene with Woodstock sets viewers up for the 3-D experience. Charlie Brown and the gang are excited about a new kid moving into their neighborhood.

She turns out to be the Little Red-Haired Girl, and Charlie is instantly smitten.

RATED: G by the Motion Picture Association of America.

"Spectre"

Where to go when 53 years of action-scene set pieces have exhausted seemingly every exotic corner of the Earth? How much globe can a globe-trotter trot?

The answer kicking off the latest James Bond film, "Spectre," is a doozy. Beginning with the words "the dead are alive" across the screen, director Sam Mendes opens on a long shot through the Day of the Dead in Mexico City, tracking Bond (Daniel Craig), masked but unmissable in a skeleton costume, through the festive throngs. He ushers a woman (Stephanie Sigman) out of the masses and into her bed, only to disrobe into a suit, step out the window and stride down the ledge.

Finally spying his real prey, explosions follow, walls collapse and the resulting chase spins into a helicopter careening over a mobbed Zocalo Square.

It's a sequence of such startling audacity (some 1,500 extra were used) and gorgeous black-on-sepia tones that a nagging desire to hit "rewind" persists through the rest of "Spectre."

Handsome and riveting as it often is, the film never again reaches such heights.

It's not for lack of effort. Mendes, who helmed the last entry, the smash "Skyfall," has raised the bar on 007, pushing the budgets and the grandiosity in a bid to not just reinvent the franchise but overwhelm it with eye-popping craft.

"Spectre" is Craig's fourth Bond movie and his muscular tenure has been defined not just by his full embodiment of the character, but his overall stewardship. His ability to attract topnotch talent, in front and behind the camera, and to imbue the spy series with a seriousness of purpose reads in every frame.

His Bond may still sip martinis, but he's stone-cold sober.

Having ushered 007 through the Eva Green highs of "Casino Royale," the overwrought lows of "Quantum of Solace" and the climactic extravagance of "Skyfall," ''Spectre" finds Craig's Bond pursuing the videotaped orders of Judi Dench's late M in a more traditional 007 plot. Her instructions lead him to a shadowy international criminal organization led by a longtime Bond villain, Franz Oberhauser (Christoph Waltz).

The pursuit skirts the snowy peaks of Austria, the cloakand-danger cobblestones of Rome and the Mediterranean maze of Tangier, with enough corresponding outfit changes to stock a runway show. Bond is operating outside of MI5, where new head Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott) is overhauling the intelligence services with digital surveillance that he says will render the old-fashioned 00 program obsolete.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "intense sequences of action and violence, some disturbing images, sensuality and language."

This photo provided by The Weinstein Company, shows Bradley Cooper as Adam Jones, in a scene from the film, "Burnt."

Unlikeable main character cooks "Burnt"

By SANDY COHEN Associated Press The best thing going for Bradley Cooper's character in "Burnt" are his bright blue eyes.

His Adam Jones is apparently a gifted chef, but with his arrogant persona and penchant for loud outbursts, it hardly seems worth finding out, even despite those baby blues.

Jones is so unlikeable that spending 100 minutes with him on screen is as unpleasant as languishing over a bad meal — you just want to kind of walk away and find something better. "Burnt" is further hampered by narrative loose ends, clunky, explanatory dialogue, and a love interest (Siena Miller) who behaves as no real woman would.

Written by Steven Knight ("Pawn Sacrifice")

and directed by John Wells ("August: Osage County"), "Burnt" follows Jones' efforts to restore his cooking career after a bout of bad behavior and return to Michelin Star status.

The film opens with the embattled chef shucking oysters in New Orleans. The job is a penance, Cooper's Jones explains in voiceover: He was once a promising young chef with the opportunity to run his mentor's restaurant, only to squander his future with drugs, infidelity and an inflated sense of importance.

Now sober and with renewed focus, Jones heads to London to reconnect with former colleagues and strong-arm them into working with him.

He runs into Michel (Omar Sy), who awkwardly explains to Jones exactly how he wronged him when they worked together

years ago in Paris (don't they both know this already?). Jones meets up with restaurant critic Simone (Uma Thurman), who oddly tells him that she slept with him even though she is a lesbian. Again, wouldn't they each already know this? Saying it aloud for the benefit of the audience feels odd and inauthentic. The performances are honest enough. It's just that people who know each other don't talk this way.

Next, Jones works over another former f r i e n d , c e l e b r a t e d L o n d o n m a î t re d ' Tony (Daniel Brühl), and monopolizes his restaurant. The move seems even more egregious when it becomes clear, through sessions with an unethical therapist (Emma Thompson), that Jones took advantage of Tony's romantic feelings for him.

Most unrealistic, though, is Miller's character, Helene. Introduced as a talented up-and-coming chef and devoted single mother who works at a competing restaurant, Helene can tell Jones is a jerk as soon as she meets him, yet she's lured to his kitchen by a much bigger salary. That part makes sense.

But despite Jones yelling at her, belittling her skills, grabbing her by her (alluringly loose) tank top and ditching her for another woman at a party he invited her to, Helene suddenly forgets her parental responsibilities and falls for him. Miller plays the role sincerely, but come on. Those pretty eyes aren't THAT magical.

Cooper does what he can with Jones, but there's no saving this guy from his own miserable personality.

The good movies have yet to arrive

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge Objectively, the fourth quarter of 2015 offers us a film slate that hasn’t been seen in quite a while.

James Bond, “The Hunger Games”, and the next “Star Wars” are getting the lion’s share of the attention right now, and rightfully so, but there’s also another Pixar movie coming out at Thanksgiving (“The Good Dinosaur”). And the stars?

Everyone that was huge ten years ago has a movie out this winter.

Matt Damon is still tearing in up in “The Martian”. Julia Roberts is coming soon in a dark thriller called “The Secret in Their Eyes”. Jennifer Lawrence even headlines a second title (“Joy”) at Christmastime. So why does it feel like the two major A-list stars that opened titles this

past weekend has been shorted?

Sandra Bullock returns following the colossal smash of “Gravity” and makes barely a whimper in “Our Brand is Crisis”. Likewise, Bradley Cooper – he of three consecutive Best Actor Oscar nods – was dead on arrival in “Burnt”. Have we forgotten the great times these actors have delivered to us in years past? 2009 was a long time ago, but Bullock’s two-fer of “The Blind Side” and “The Proposal” had her name on everyone’s lips. They were so good that people even paid for tickets to see her third film that year, a tragically terrible comedy called “All About Steve”. And Cooper’s biggest hit (“American Sniper”) just came to most audiences last JANUARY. That’s short-term memory loss, I think.

The best part about “Our Brand

is Crisis” is Sandra Bullock. That’s kind of a kick when you consider the part was written with it in mind as a starring vehicle for George Clooney (who remains a producer on the film). She plays a political consultant nicknamed “Calamity” Jane Bodine for her antics that are always questionable, usually successful, and quite likely to generate headlines.

After past elections that had burned her out and burned down her reputation, she’s lured back to work by a former colleague (Ann Dowd) and campaign manager (Anthony Mackie) who are working to stabilize Bolivia by backing the play for President by a dark horse former politician named Castillo (Joaquim de Almeida). He’s far behind and desperate, perfect for Jane’s style of guerilla campaigning and shotcalling. The mean-spirited interplay

between her and old rival Pat Gandy (Billy Bob Thornton) is a bonus. He’s in La Paz representing the rookie favorite. The whole thing is a little bit one-sided in that Jane rocks and the rest of the cast goes along doing what she says. Still, she makes looking unglamorous funny and appealing. Gotta love that talent.

“Our Brand is Crisis” runs 107 minutes and is rated R for language including some sexual references. I give this film one and a half stars out of four.

••• "Burnt” is another trifle concocted in a similar vein as “Crisis”. Star Bradley Cooper (who has also made multiple cameos on CBS’s “Limitless” this Fall, a series based on his old hit movie), in the role of bad boy chef Adam Jones, is surrounded by a quirky group of famous faces as

November 12, 2015

he tries to get his act back together f ro m a h i s t o r y o f d ru g s a n d chicks and earn the third Michelin star that he knows his buddy’s (Daniel Bruhl) restaurant is due.

Celebrity chef Mario Batali is credited as a producer/consultant on the movie and the dishes look scrumptious every time a montage of simmering and chopping whips something new onto a plate. The unappetizing truth is that Adam’s background (unseen, but for which he shucks one million oysters in penance) is obviously far from e n d e a r i n g a n d h i s p re s e n t i s meager scraps. He’s laser-focused and has no real charms away from the stovetop. “Sniper ’s” Sienna Miller co-stars.

“Burnt” runs 101 minutes and is rated R for language throughout. I give this film one star out of four.

Religion Religion briefs Bishop who killed cyclist while driving drunk gets 7 years

A judge sentenced Cook on Tuesday to 20 years with all but seven suspended. Prosecutors had asked for a 10-year prison term.

BALTIMORE (AP) — A former Episcopal bishop who killed a bicyclist in Baltimore while driving drunk has been sentenced to seven years in prison.

Heather Cook, who was the second ranking Episcopal bishop in Maryland, pleaded guilty last month to manslaughter, drunken driving and leaving the scene.

She fatally struck 41-year-old cyclist Tom Palermo on Dec. 27. The impact threw Palermo onto Cook's hood and into the windshield of her car. He died of severe blunt force trauma to the head, leaving behind a wife and two young children.

Prosecutors say Bishop Cook left the scene for 30 minutes before returning. She was texting when the accident occurred, and her blood-alcohol level was 0.22 percent, almost three times the legal limit. The church asked for and received her resignation.

Congressman: U.S. should welcome persecuted Mideast Christians

WASHINGTON (AP) — A House Republican says Christians face genocide in the Middle East and should be allowed to immigrate to the United States.

California Congressman Dana Rohrabacher spoke Tuesday at a subcommittee hearing on "The Global Crisis of Religious Freedom."

Rohrabacher said that in parts of the Mideast controlled by the Islamic State group, Christians "are being targeted for extinction."

She said, "Our immigration policy from that part of the world should put anyone who is a target of genocide at the top of the list of priorities of being admitted to the United

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Leah Remini is talking about Scientology and Tom Cruise in a new interview with ABC's "20/20."

With music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (Pippin, Godspell, Academy Award®winner for Pocahontas and The Prince of Egypt) and book by Winnie Holzman (“My

So Called Life,” “Once And Again” and “thirtysomething”), "Wicked", the untold story of the witches of Oz, is directed by two-time Tony® Award winner Joe Mantello (Take Me Out, Love! Valour! Compassion!, The Vagina Monologues) and features musical staging by Tony Award winner Wayne Cilento (Aida, The Who’s Tommy, How To Succeed…).

Fox Theatre producer Kristin Caskey. “With its powerful story and dynamic score, "Wicked" has captivated St. Louis audiences for the past ten years. It truly is a spellbinding experience you can share with the entire family.”

Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz. One – born with emerald-green skin – is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. "Wicked" tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, and how these two unlikely friends grow to become the "Wicked" Witch of the West and Glinda the Good.

"Wicked" has been declared “A Cultural Phenomenon” by Variety and “The Best Musical of the Decade” by Entertainment Weekly. Since its New York premiere over

The Black Rep announces season

In 1976, as a student at Washington University in St. Louis, Ron Himes began staging upstart theatrical productions across the Danforth Campus. Thirty-nine years later, The St. Louis Black Rep has grown to become one of the nation’s largest and most respected professional African-American companies.

“We’ve been staging shows in Edison for several years now, but this is the first time we’ve had the resources to present three in a single season,” Himes said. “The Edison Series, as we’re calling it, represents a great new opportunity for us, and a whole new level of commitment on the part of the university. We’re very grateful for that support.”

Following “Tell Me Somethin’ Good,” The Edison Series will continue Jan. 13-31 with Dominique Morisseau’s family drama “Sunset Baby.” The series will conclude with “The Family Reunion: In My Father ’s House,” a companydeveloped work-in-progress, April 20-May 1. “The Black Rep is a St. Louis — and indeed a national — institution,” said Mark Rollins, chair of the Performing Arts Department.

“Theater is creative laboratory that helps shape the ways we see ourselves and the communities in which we live. We are extremely proud of the work Ron has done as a student, as an alumnus and as a teacher, and we’re thrilled to welcome The Black Rep back to campus for the coming season.”

“This season has something for everybody,” Himes said. “Music and drama; the personal and the political; new works and old favorites — they’re all part of the theater, and they’re all part of human experience.”

The Black Rep 2015-16 ‘Edison Series’ Jan. 13-31, 2016 “Sunset Baby” Written by Dominique Morisseau, “Sunset Baby” tells the story of Kenyatta Shakur, a onetime Black Revolutionary and political prisoner.

After the death of his wife, Kenyatta desperately tries to reconnect with his estranged daughter, Nina, but finds that reconciling with his past means conquering the most challenging revolution of all: fatherhood.

April 20-May 1, 2016 “The Family Reunion: In My Father’s House” This company-developed workin-progress celebrates the trials, tribulations and triumphs of the African-American family through

poetry, music, dance and dramatic literature.

Travel Events of the season planned from Osage Beach to Eldon For The Edge The holiday season is a joyous time of coming together and celebrating with friends and family. But, sometimes the stress of planning parties and meals and frantic last-minute trips to crowded markets can make the season lose its luster. The activities and attractions at the Lake of the Ozarks can be just the thing to breathe new life into seasonal traditions. The Lake offers family and friends the opportunity to relax, reconnect and even add a little extra spice to their holidays.

Thanksgiving is especially festive at the Lake of the Ozarks as many of the businesses around the area get into the holiday spirit. Several resorts and hotels offer bountiful Thanksgiving meals with all the trimmings, but without the hassles of cooking and cleaning up. The Lodge of Four Seasons and Camden on the Lake Resort, both located in Lake Ozark, as well as The Inn at Grand Glaize in Osage Beach, will have full-blown Thanksgiving buffets on Thursday, Nov. 26. To make reservations for overnight stays, Thanksgiving meals and other activities, contact The Lodge of Four Seasons, call 800-THE-LAKE or visit www.4SeasonsResort. com; for Camden on the Lake, call 888-365-5620 or visit www.

CamdenOnTheLake.com; for The Inn at Grand Glaize, visit www.

One of the Lake's most popular and enduring holiday traditions involves the area's different drivethrough light parks. Admission to

Courtesy of the Beenders-Walker Group

The Clauses greet onlookers during the parade at Eldon's "Home for the Holidays" Christmas celebration. the light parks is free, but donations are welcome.

The Lake's largest light park, The Enchanted Village of Lights, meanders through 27 acres of the Laurie Fairgrounds and is celebrating its 22nd season of warming hearts.

The Enchanted Village opens on November 20 and runs through January 2. The light park is open daily from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. on weekdays and closes at 10 p.m. on weekends. Complete details can be found at www.CityofLaurie.com/ EnchantedLights.

Also in Laurie, just a mile from the Enchanted Village on Highway 5, is the Festival of Lights at the Shrine of Saint Patrick. Started in 1981, the festival is now in its 32nd year and has continued to grow each season, with thousands of lights decorating the buildings and grounds. The site is the home of the National Shrine of Mary, Mother of the Church, so this display focuses on Jesus and His mother, Mary. The St. Patrick Festival of Lights will be open daily from 6-10 p.m. from Thanksgiving through January 1. Learn more at www.ShrineOfStPatrick.org.

Versailles joins the lighting celebration from Nov. 26 through Jan. 1 with its own Unity Circle of Lights, featuring 40 lighted holiday exhibits in the city park, at the junction of Highways 5 and 52 in Morgan County.

In Osage Beach, the city park and many businesses along Osage Beach Parkway will be dressed in holiday lights from November 28 through January 3. And, on December 12,

children of all ages can meet Santa Claus from 3-5 p.m. at the Osage Beach city park. For more information, visit www.OsageBeach.org.

Other fun holiday events around the Lake include the City of Eldon's "Home for the Holidays" celebration on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 20 and 21, consisting of a holiday parade, face painting, craft-making stations, dance performances, live concerts from the Eldon High School Jazz Band and Chamber Choir, and, of course, a visit from Santa. The City of Versailles' "Olde Fashioned Christmas on the Square," which takes place from 4-8 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 28 in its historic downtown, features many craft and food vendors, live choir performances, a silent auction and an appearance by Old Saint Nick.

Also on November 28, visitors can watch a processions of fun floats decked out in lights during the 14th Annual Lighted Christmas Parade in Laurie. Children of all ages can enjoy breakfast with Santa on December 5 and 12 at HK's Restaurant located on property at The Lodge of Four Seasons. In addition, on December 12, Lake Ozark celebrates its 31st "Christmas Magic" parade, which will wind along the historic Bagnell Dam Boulevard. Following the parade, children will have the opportunity to visit with Santa and receive a free stocking stuffed with goodies from the merry-maker himself. For more information on these and other holiday events around the Lake, visit the event calendar at www.

FunLake.com.

Another popular Lake of the Ozarks tradition is taking in all the sights and sounds of "Christmas on Mainstreet," an annual presentation by the talented performers of the Main Street Music Hall in Osage Beach. The show is designed to be a treat for all in attendance with beautifully decorated sets, glamorous costumes, special effects, musical impersonations, comedy skits and the best songs of the season. The Main Street Music Hall audience will enjoy every style of holiday music, from the latest in contemporary songs to favorite Christmas hymns and carols. The show is offered Tuesdays through Sundays, beginning Nov. 27 and continuing through Dec. 20.

shops are packed with treasures from the past and handmade crafts. For more information about shopping at the Lake, click on the "shopping" tab at www.FunLake. com.

Visitors to the Lake can also ring in the New Year in style as area resorts offer dining specials and festive overnight packages complete with live music, dancing, champagne toasts at midnight and more. Call your favorite lodging property to ask about their New Year's Eve specials.

Whether coming to the Lake to enjoy festive lighting displays, check items off the holiday gift list or to escape the demands of the season, the Lake's lodging properties offer the gift of off-season savings.

Winter and holiday special lodging rates are some of the lowest of the year at Lake-area resorts, hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, condos, vacation homes, campgrounds and RV parks. In some cases, travelers can save as much as 40 percent off in-season rates and give themselves the gift of a good night's rest and relaxation. For a complete list of lodging options, visit www.

FunLake.com.

Travel Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry adds new exhibit For The Edge Never look at the world the same way again. Numbers in Nature: A Mirror Maze is an interactive and immersive new permanent exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago that exposes and explains the mathematical patterns that abound in the natural world— from the delicate nested spirals of a sunflower’s seeds, to the ridges of a majestic mountain range, to the layout of the universe—providing a unique perspective of our daily surroundings.

The centerpiece of the exhibit is an 1,800-square-foot elaborate mirror maze in which guests can explore and navigate a seemingly infinite repeating pattern of mirrors.

Interactive elements throughout the exhibit allow for hands-on learning to understand that math is all around us in everyday life, revealing the beauty of our world through numbers. The exhibit opens October 8, 2014 on the Museum’s Main Level and is included in Museum Entry.

“The Museum is thrilled to open an exhibit that illuminates mathematics and numbers in a fun, interactive way,” said Kurt Haunfelner, MSI’s vice president of exhibits and collections. “By showcasing that fascinating numerical patterns are all around us, we hope that both kids and adults alike will become inspired to discover more about how math, as a part of the STEM fields, is a strong and important presence in our daily lives.”

Introduction to Patterns in Our World As guests enter the exhibit, they will be greeted by lenticular images that animate imagery from nature—showing the many repeating patterns that are easily identifiable—if they know where to look!

From there, an immersive theater presentation will display a large-

20

format media piece with stunning footage of nature, the human body, and even art and architecture.

Animated computer graphics will be superimposed over the images to uncover the mathematical patterns—spirals, the Golden Ratio, Voronoi patterns and fractal branching—beneath these familiar objects. The film will help explain why these patterns exist and how they show themselves in various facets of the natural and cultural worlds.

Building upon the examples in the theater, an interactive area allows guests to identify patterns that surround them every day and to create numerical patterns of their own. They will be able to manipulate images of snowflakes, sea shells, flowers and more— triggering the geometry that underlies those things to appear—as well as create a numerical sequence

On the Edge of the Weekend

to understand how a pattern is generated from repeating a simple set of rules.

The Mirror Maze When guests make their way to the centerpiece of the exhibit— the mirror maze—they are exposed to a pattern of triangles that repeat in a dizzying array of mirrors. This fascinating, yet challenging, space will envelop guests within what appears to be an endless pattern—1,800 square feet of it! Guests will encounter intriguing questions and activities to further immerse themselves in the repetition, symmetry and tessellation presented in the maze.

Dead ends are scattered throughout, and hidden within this self-guided experience is a small secret room.

Finding it rewards guests with bonus puzzles, imagery and artifacts that expand the connection to mathematics.

November 12, 2015

Hands-on Discovery Upon leaving the maze, guests will have more opportunities for hands-on activities in a final gallery.

Patterns in Nature: Draw patterns on a digital screen—like connecting dots to draw spirals and creating Fibonacci rectangles—and see real-world objects that show that same pattern.

Use templates to try to align a spiral to a series of objects from nature and the man-made world.

Which objects come close to the spiral and which don’t?

Learn how fractal patterns are used to make computer-generated lan dscapes, such as intr icate mountain ranges, in movies.

Patterns in Yourself: Step in front of a large two-way mirror and strike various poses while a projection superimposes patterns and proportions on your body in real time.

Look through an eyepiece to observe how blood vessels branch within your eyes.

Compare similar patterns, like fractal branching, that appear in the human body and in nature by viewing a plastinated human lung and a Lichtenberg figure, a sculpture that captures a lightning strike in a piece of acrylic.

Observe just how much symmetry—or lack thereof—is present in the human face.

Patterns in Music, Art and Architecture: Compose a piece of music using symmetry: vary a single musical motive and hear your creations played back.

Create a musical scale with mathematical proportions using a playable harp.

Discover and compare similar patterns in architecture from varying parts of the world—from the Taj Mahal to the Beijing National Stadium—built millennia apart.

Music Tuning in Nathan to perform at JAC

Singer-songwriter Chris Nathan brings his original blend of blues, gospel, R&B, and hip-hop back to Jacoby Friday Nites Live! 8 p.m., Nov. 6. Those who heard Chris Nathan perform at Jacoby in June were spellbound by his compelling stage presence and vocal range. The 6-foot, 6-inch charismatic musician plays from the soul.

Buffalo, New York-born Nathan has recently relocated to our region after 11 years in Nashville, Tenn.

He plays acoustic guitar with melodic fluency and an authentic beat. Nathan is a prolific songwriter. His original sound has been recorded in Los Angeles with some spectacular tracks airing on MTV.

He credits a diversity of influences: Dave Matthews Band, John Legend, Sam Cooke, Richie Havens and Jason Mraz.

“Jacoby Arts Center is a great atmosphere for acoustic performances,” says Chris Nathan.

“The culture and desire for art, new and old, is incredible at JAC. I've met so many that attend and help keep the arts center alive and well.

It's the amazing people that create the amazing energy that I felt while I played there, this is what brings me back.”

XOXO will offer a complimentary tasting of classic hummus and traditional tabouli salad on in support of Nathan and Jacoby Arts Center.

The Fox to welcome Gladys Knight, the O'Jays

​G ladys Knight and the O'Jays are coming to St. Louis - together in concert, doing full headlining performances on Friday, November 13, 2015 at the Fabulous Fox Theatre.

Tickets are $150, $125, $95, $85, $75, $65, $55 and are on sale online at metrotix.com, by calling 314-5341111, or in person at the Fabulous Fox Box Office.

The great ones endure, and Gladys Knight has long been one of the greatest. Very few singers over the last fifty years have matched her unassailable artistry. This seventime Grammy winner has enjoyed #1 hits in Pop, Gospel, R&B and Adult Contemporary, and has triumphed in film, television and live performance.

In her first effort since 2013’s “Another Journey” – Knight’s 8th solo effort – this summer marked

the release of “Where My Heart Belongs”, a new inspiration gospel album. Knight is a twotime Grammy winner in the gospel category and recently won an NAACP Image Award for “Outstanding Gospel Album.”

“Another Journey” enjoyed success from the hit “I Who Have Nothing” as well as the up tempo track “Settle,” produced by Randy Jackson, with whom she previously collaborated with on her Grammywinning album, “At Last.” Knight also enjoyed the success of her song “You and I Ain’t Nothin’ No More” which appeared over the end credits of the critically acclaimed Lee Daniels film "The Butler."

The O'Jays are touring history, a connection to an era and a sound that formed the soundtrack for the lives of several generations. The O’Jays are still hitting the road with the same electrifying energy they’ve had for over 50 years.

Walter Williams and Eddie Levert first met when they were the ages of 6 and 7 respectively. As teenagers in Canton, Ohio, they formed a band originally consisting of Eddie Levert, Walter Williams, William Powell, Bobby Massey and Bill Isles.

In 1963, the band took the name "The O'Jays" in tribute to Cleveland radio disc jockey and over the years several members have changed, but the core, original lead singers Eddie Levert and Walter Williams, continue to front the group. In 1972, Gamble & Huff, a team of producers and songwriters with whom the O'Jays had been working for several years, signed the group to their Philadelphia International label.

With this magic formula, often called The Sound of Philadelphia, The O’Jays scored the first number 1

and million sellers, “Backstabbers.”

Subsequently, they succeeded with various chart topping pop and R&B singles. Including “Love Train”, “Put Your Hands Together”, “For The Love of Money”, “I Love Music”, “Darlin’ Darlin’ Baby (Sweet, Tender, Love)”, “Livin’ For The Weekend” and! “Use Ta Be My Girl.” This success propelled The O’Jays to be the first black vocal group to perform in arenas throughout America during the 70s and 80s.

McDonald to appear at The Fox

some of his hits as well as holiday favorites that will surely put you in the spirit.

Tickets are $125, $95, $80, $65, $55, $45, $35 and are available online at metrotix.com, by calling 314-534-1111, or in person at the Fabulous Fox Box Office.

Two notes. That’s all it takes to recognize the voice of Michael McDonald. Distinctive and soulful, it is one of the most yearningly emotive instruments of our times.

To this add formidable songwriting and keyboard skills, and you have an artist who has been a singular musical presence for four decades. From ‘70s-era Doobie Brothers classics such as “What A Fool Believes” and solo hits like “I Keep Forgettin’” through two highly-acclaimed Motown albums, genre-busting guest spots and innovative concept shows, the five-time Grammy Award winning McDonald is both timeless and ever-evolving.

Beyond his music, McDonald has long been an active humanitarian.

He has lent his talents and energies to many causes and benefits, including MusiCares, the National Council of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, the 7UP Grammy Signature Schools Program and was part of a star-studded lineup at Kokua For Japan, a concert that raised $1.6 million for tsunami relief.

Music Tuning in Fox to host Experience Hendrix Tour

The 2016 Experience Hendriz Tour will stop at the Fox Theatre for an 8 p.m. show on March 8.

Live at the Fabulous Fox Tuesday, March 8 at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $100, $85, $60, $50, $40, $30 and are available online at metrotix.com, by calling 314-5341111, or in person at the Fabulous Fox Box Office.

Hailed by critics and fans alike as the ‘Guitar Event Of The Year,’ the multi-artist celebration known as the Experience Hendrix Tour is set to return in 2016. These special concer t p erf o rma n ce s p re se n t legendary artists who join together to pay homage to Jimi Hendrix.

This next edition of the Experience Hendrix Tour will encompass twenty seven performances this c o m i n g F e b ru a r y a n d M a rc h , stopping in more than two dozen cities along the east coast, midwest and southern states. Now in its second decade, the tour celebrates the musical genius of Jimi Hendrix by bringing together a diverse array of extraordinary musicians, ranging from blues legend Buddy Guy to Black Label Society and former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde, as well as Jonny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Eric Johnson, Dweezil Zappa and many others. Billy Cox, bassist for both the Jimi Hendrix Experience and Band of Gypsys, anchors a rhythm section that provides the foundation for exciting renditions of such signature Hendrix favorites as “Purple Haze” and “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)”.

Jimi Hendrix was a pioneer i n b o t h ro c k a n d b l u e s , a n d expanded the possibilities of what could be achieved with the electric guitar, forever altering the course of music history. Likewise, the Experience Hendrix Tour is developing a rich history of its own. By 2004, the first Experience Hendrix Tour came to fruition with a three-date string of shows on the west coast, starting in Hendrix’s hometown of Seattle. By 2008, the Experience Hendrix Tour had

become a full-fledged, coast-tocoast expedition that continues to date, without showing any signs of slowing down Audiences are presented the opportunity to see great artists paying homage to Hendrix and collaborating with each other in ways they’d never do in their own live shows. “It is such an honor to be asked back for another run,” says blues/gospel/ rock guitar prodigy Jonny Lang, who has played every tour since 2008. “The music of Jimi Hendrix speaks to each of us in indelible ways. It’s another chance to celebrate his legacy.”

Multiple Grammy-winner and 2015 Kennedy Center honoree Buddy Guy, who was both an inspiration to as well as a personal friend of Jimi’s, is also ecstatic to partake in his sixth Experience Hendrix Tour. The stance he takes is akin to that of a missionary: “Jimi Hendrix was one of the greatest guitar players ever and we all need to keep his music alive.”

"It's an honor to celebrate Jimi Hendrix's legacy and greatness with so many other amazing players, who have become great friends and family to me,” echoes Z a k k Wy l d e . “ H i s i n f l u e n c e and inspiration will forever be undeniable!"

Platinum-selling solo artist Kenny Wayne Shepherd has been on every Experience Hendrix Tour since the beginning. “As far back as I can remember, I’ve been listening to Jimi Hendrix,” said Shepherd. “He has had an enormous influence on me as both a guitar player and a songwriter.

He was always trying new things and pushing musical boundaries, which enabled and encouraged me to push the boundaries in my music. The Experience Hendrix Tour is an amazing tribute to the greatest guitar player of all time, featuring some of the greatest musicians in the world today.”

Dweezil Zappa returns for his third Experience Hendrix Tour.

“I've always been a great admirer of Jimi Hendrix,” he details. “My dad told me some great stories about playing with him. Jimi's a b i l i t y t o e x p re s s h i m s e l f s o completely with an electric guitar

is very inspiring to me. There was an authentic expression of his personality in the music. And that rings true to every generation.

He wasn't following trends. His playing was soulful and exciting and surprising.”

The 2016 Experience Hendrix Tour also includes guitarist Mato Nanji of Indigenous, vocalists Henri Brown and Noah Hunt, and drummer Chris Layton, who was recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. Additionally, special guests will include the likes of Keb’ Mo’, Doyle Bramhall II, Ana Popovic and the Slide Brothers.

Dining Delights

Bill Roseberry/The Edge

The Fatty B with bacon added and accompanied by the spicy red sauce from Sauce on the Side in downtown St. Louis.

Sauce on the Side

By BILL ROSEBERRY Of The Edge The latest stop on the “You Gotta Eat” Express took me to one of my favorites — Sauce on the Side.

This St. Louis treasure just opened the doors on its new downtown location in June. It moved from its old spot on Pine to a larger and classier place at 411 N. 8th St.There is also a second location in Clayton.

Sauce on the Side is simple and fantastic. The business plan for the restaurant is stuff everything, including the kitchen sink, into a calzone and — that's right — serve the sauce on the side.

To top that, they offer great craft beer selections, so you can get a delicious and quirky calzone and a funky beer to boot. This is my type of joint.

My dinner mate Kelly and I visited Sauce on the Side late in the regular season for the Cardinals prior to a game. Kelly had never been, but quickly became a huge fan.

We both ordered calzones of course. Kelly went with the Duke while I ordered the Fatty B, but improved it by adding some mouthwatering bacon. Bacon makes everything better.

Before the bacon, the Fatty B consists of: pepperoni, meatballs, roasted garlic, provolone, mozzarella and ricotta cheeses and garlic oil. It's served with a spicy red sauce on the side.

At Sauce on the Side these babies are baked to perfection. They are huge and bursting with ingredients and flavor. I have to pat myself on the back because the bacon was a

24

nice touch to my delicious order.

The sauce was good too, it was just a tasty marinara sauce, but didn't have much of a kick to be considered spicy.

The breaded shell, like always, is cooked to a golden brown and has a great taste. They are all sprinkled with grated parmesan cheese for a nice finishing touch.

But while I fervently enjoyed my Fatty B, I have to say Kelly's choice reigned supreme. She shared a couple bites with me and holy moly was it good.

On the Edge of the Weekend

The Duke is comprised of: barbecue chicken, applewood smoked bacon, corn salsa, smoked cheddar and mozzarella cheeses and smoked chili oil. The accompanying sauce is a scrumptious barbecue ranch sauce. The southweststyle flavor of this masterpiece is astounding. It was actually pretty sweet in taste.

I applauded Kelly with her choice.

In hindsight, I'm quite shocked she even shared a piece with me. If the shoe was on the other foot I can honestly say I wouldn't have shared

November 12, 2015

even a morsel.

As for the rest of the menu, there are salads available for those that don't want all of the bread. The Beets Me and the Strawberry Fields stood out to me.

The Beets Me is made up of: arugula, a spring mix of lettuce, toasted walnuts, mandarin oranges, golden beets, red onions, parmesan cheese and tossed in a citrus vinaigrette. The Strawberry Fields has: a spring mix, strawberries, feta cheese, red onions, sage, mint and candied walnuts thrown in a

balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

Moving back to the calzones though, that's where it's at.

A couple others that caught my gut's attention were the Pancho Villa and the Which Came First?

The Pancho Villa climbs the spice chart a little with chorizo, jalapenos, yellow peppers, smoked cheddar, mozzarella and smoked chili oil. It comes with a queso sauce.

Which Came First? gets creative, g o i n g w i t h ro a s t e d c h i c k e n , applewood smoked bacon, jalapenos, egg, onion, mozzarella and smoked chili oil. The sauce on the side is a salsa verde.

That's just the tip of the iceberg on what you can get at Sauce on the Side. There are plenty of other calzones on the menu, or you can make your own from their “War and Peace” listing of ingredients.

There are even a couple of dessert calzones, the Nutella Banana and the Carmel Apple Pie. The Nutella Banana has: Nutella, bananas, mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar. The Carmel Apple Pie is built with: apple pie filling, crumbled graham crackers and a crumbly cinnamon crust.

Check out their website at www. eatcalzones.com to see a full menu.

T h e n e w l o c a t i o n i s p re t t y sweet. It's much larger, has patio seating and a trendier but relaxed atmosphere. The service is always good also. You order at the counter when you visit and the workers are always knowledgable about the food and the beer selections.

It's just an awesome place. Sauce on the Side should be at the top of the list when you gotta eat.
