IG.A.R.P. Time

It's "Government Against Rich People" time ® in Vermont, and the "rich people" are wailing I and gnashing their capped teeth. | All the mumbo-jumbo being hurled about | by the opponents of Vermont's new Equal | Educational Opportunity Act (Act 60), became I crystal clear last week as the famous millionaire * writer from Dorset jumped smack» dab into the middle of it all. I "What I have called Marxist | about Act 60," writes John | Irving, "is that in the name of | equalizing educational opportu| nity, the state has declared the * achievement of a level playing 1 field simply by penalizing the | topmost schools in the state. But Act 60 isn't chiefly about education — it's chiefly about the redistribution of wealth." Aha! A communist plot, eh, John boy? All about what you so eloquently told Time magazine is "trailer park envy"? Time to hook up with your comrade in capitalism, Field Marshall Tom Morse, stockpile the AK47s and head into the hills? Why, even the Republican Massachusetts Carpetbagger Jack Mulholland or McMullen or whatever his name is, has been running anti-Act 60 radio spots in his megabucks scheme to win the hearts and minds of voters in this, his neighboring state. Fiction writer John Irving deserves a medal for his contribution to the world of non-fiction. He's pulled the rug out from under all the other anti-Act 60 crybabies who have tried to camouflage their greedy opposition to Vermont's landmark education law with dozens of diversionary themes. Back to reality time. The battle lines today haven't moved six inches from where they were a year ago or five years ago or 20 years ago. The taxpayers in Vermont's picturesque property-rich towns would rather jump off a ski lift than have to share their grand list with the rest of our state. Sorry, but Act 60 was debated and adopted by the Vermont House and Senate (with almost half the senate Republicans supporting it), and signed by Gov. Howard Dean, who has a wellearned reputation as a prominent defender of financially endowed Vermonters. Remember, this is the guy who cut funding for the aged, blind and disabled. This is the guy who made da bums on welfare get a job. This is the guy who wouldn't raise the state income tax if you shoved a small nuclear weapon up his butt. This is the guy who's sailed to victory in three landslide elections with strong Republican backing. And this is the guy who is bravely out front as the chief defender of Act 60. "One penny on the property tax," says HoHo, "raises exactly the same amount of money per-pupil in every town in the state. So that now it doesn't matter what town you're in, you have the same exact opportunity to raise addi| tional dollars for your child in every town in | the state. That's what the court ordered the legislature to do, and that's what they did. The same rules apply to every town in the state under Act 60." Frightening, isn't it, especially when it | comes from the lips of Vermont's premier capi| talist. The ski towns that have blossomed with the use of state land and state resources, from road improvements to water for snowmaking to the millions spent on promoting tourism, prefer I the old rules, the special treatment. As one | graduating Stowe high school student told | WCAX-TV's Andy Potter Saturday, "It's our

town. We raise the money. Why should we have to give it away?" Think John Irving is his favorite author? Moment of Decision — There are three choices on Mayor Peter Clavelle's plate. He can veto the resolution passed by the city council 8-6 that cuts off funding for the Burlington Women's Council. Or he can sign it. Or he can play King Solomon and let it become law without his signature. The six Progs voted, as usual, in a block to keep the local version of "Women Behaving Badly" in business. Democrats, Republicans and the truly "Independent" Ward 6 Councilor Barbara Perry said enough is enough, despite the fact there was only one arrest following the BWC's last meeting. Mayor Moonie's opponents pray he'll veto the resolution and give them a great issue for the next election. The envelope, please! "I don't intend to sign it," said Clavelle Tuesday. And he's I • • not dumb enough to veto it, I either. So he'll sit back and let it w^^L become official. "For better or W W worse," he said, "that action reflects the political will of the I city council." Media Notes — All these years we've been teaching our kids that there are just six New England states. Well, on Saturday, Ch.3's Tim Lewis reported there are now seven! We assumed it was just a typo. Surely what was broadcast would be corrected on the WCAX Web site. But, alas, there it was in print Monday — "seven New England states." Unfortunately Tim didn't name the seventh state. Don't laugh, this could be big! And Vermont's most expensive Sunday newspaper just cut its newsstand price. The Sunday Rutland Herald and Times Argus had been going for $2.25 in Burlap even though it says $1.75 on the cover. A few weeks back we had the unpleasant task of informing Publisher John Mitchell of this fact. Last Sunday the price dropped to $2. Word is the distributor, Burlington News, and Big Bad John swallowed the price cut equally. Brilliant! One of the Herald's pluses is Jeff Danziger's editorial cartoon. He's been red-hot lately on Act 60, renaming John Irving's heralded novels. The Hotel New Hampshire is now The Hell with Vermont. Trying to Save Poppy Seed is now Pigs have Needs, Too. And The World According to Garp is now The World as Reason to Carp. And unlike the Freeps, the Herald has its own local Sunday magazine — something our local Gannett-chain outpost dropped over a decade ago. "Once Upon a Time" — As for all the mediabashing by the anti-Act 60 crowd, it's really just the same old story When you can't refute the message, you try to distort it. And when you fail at that, you attack the messenger. Richard Nixon, the unindicted co-conspirator, and Spiro Agnew, convicted felon, targeted the press during the Vietnam War. They wanted to read about a noble struggle waged against an organized worldwide communist conspiracy But the press wasn't into fiction, and it turned out Tricky Dick and Spiro were leading the real conspiracy. So, too, today with John Irving and Tom Morse leading the charge, the Vermont press is vilified on a regular basis as "lap dogs" and "patsies" for the same old reason — the refusal to write fiction, even though, as Mr. Irving demonstrates, that's where the money is. ®

"That's essential to an actor's development. I'm more interested in developing a relationship with Blake than with a [New York] production that will end in six months. Blake has 30 or 40 years ahead of him, and I'm interested to see how he'll develop.. .Hopefully I can do that with him."

obison's own acting career began, uneventfully, at age eight. While he loved the applause for playing a pickpocket in Oliver, sports held center stage. It wasn't until junior high that theater started getting his attention, when he and his older brother started going on annual Broadway pilgrimages with their father. "We spent hours combing over The New York Times, deciding what our one show was going to be," Robison recalls. Through high school, Robison was a self-described "actor-athlete" — the Middlebury Union soccer team captain and a school-play hound. But one summer priorities began to shift, when he enrolled in a performing arts camp at Johnson State College. He spent his days acting and taking classes with thenunknowns John Herd, Mary McDonald and John Sayles — a "fantastic" experience that stayed with him. By his second year at Williams College, he took the plunge. "Early in his sophomore year, we got a phone call from Blake," Olin Robison recalls. "He said that he decided to drop soccer, because if he was going to be a theater major, he Continued

For an artist whose musical

career spans pretty much the entire history of modern Jamaican music, it's remarkable that Justin Hinds came to the U.S. for the first time last year. Even then, reggae-lovin' Vermonters probably missed him, so here's your chance to catch up. Hinds and his rasta bredren the Dominoes plant righteous roots at Toast this Friday.

rhythm & news WHERE HAVE ALL THE PROTEST SINGERS 60NE? Anyone can make a CD, but not just anybody gets one produced by the Smithsonian. Vermonter Mark Greenberg can put that notch on his belt — his annotated compilation of topical songs by folkie-activist Pete Seeger, titled If I Had a Hammer: Songs of Hope and Struggle, just came out on the museum's venerable Folkways label. The only anthology of Seeger s songs about peace, civil rights and labor causes, the disc includes the title song, "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" and "Turn, Turn, Turn," among others. Greenberg, a teacher at Goddard College, musician and longtime folk supporter, culled hundreds of Seeger tunes for the compilation, as well as interviews with the aging musician and Lifetime Achievement Grammy winner himself. Sequels are already in the works.

COLLEGE OF MUSICAL KNOWLEDGE? And you thought the Vermont Reggae Festival was just one big rasta party. VRF has proudly announced that it's started a scholarship to help high school seniors in the Green Mountain State pay for college. Although the $500 grant would probably just cover books at UVM — in the first year — it's a start. How to win? Applicants must simply display a "true understanding of the mission of the Vermont Reggae Festival by sharing their thoughts and feelings about their experiences at the festival." H m m m . Would that be in writing, or simply a phone call? Anyway, kudos for a righteous gesture, sure to partially appease the dreadlock-phobic in the community. By the way, the legendary Burning Spear is signed on to headline this year's fest, July 18 in Hardwick. Irie.

DO GOOD DEPT. Didn't

get any during the Jazz Fest? Dixieland, that is. If you can't get enough of the stuff, you can join the Green Mountain Dixieland Jazz Society, whose single purpose is to preserve and promote this New Orleans jazz hybrid by giving its member musicians more gigs! Clever, that. Alt-rockers, take note. Anyway, next month the Society will have a drawing for four tix to its August concert with the legendary Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Pete Fountain and the Dukes of Dixieland, so don't tarry. Call 658-1941 for info.

SINGLE TRACKS Good news for archivists — or musicians who want to re-read their reviews: Jim Lockridge & interns have recently logged onto the Big Heavy World Web site all the music reviews that have appeared in Seven Days since its beginning almost three years ago, and plan to keep updating. A prodigious effort, and we thank you. Go to www.bigheavyworld.com and follow the yellow brick road ... Dave Jarvis has left his roost at Cranial Perch to put his considerable energies into The D. Jarvis Band full-time (and, probably, into being a new dad). Jarvis promises to be "working tirelessly toward creating new hit songs for the public to gobble up." Yum. (7)

funny thing happened on the way to the opera: I took a wrong turn and accidentally emigrated to Canada. Others have doubtless made this mistake en route to the Haskell Free Library and Opera House in Derby Line, a few miles due north of Newport. In fact, if you're not careful where you stand once inside the stately, Victorian-style edifice, you may accidentally emigrate to Canada again. Built between 1901-04, "the Haskell" straddles the U.S. border with Stanstead, Quebec — a distinctive locale giving rise to other distinctions. The opera house stage and some of the seats are in Canada, but the entrance to the building is in the U.S. A diagonal black line drawn across the floor lets you know where you stand, so to speak. And in a display of ingenuity any northerner can appreciate, two heating systems in the basement, one on each side of the border, allow building operators to switch between Canadian and U.S. fuel oil as prices fluctuate. The Haskell's international character extends back well before the term "global village" had much currency. Commissioned by Canadian Martha Stewart Haskell in honor of late husband Carlos, an American, the charming Queen Anne-style building of yellow brick and gray granite trim was designed by Quebec native James Ball, and con-

PETIT

OPERA

How two countries turned a border-line operation into a theatrical success story structed under the guidance of Vermonter and Civil War veteran Nate Beach. A scaled-down replica of rhe Boston Opera House — according to 1GC2I mythology — the Haskell stood as a monument to cozy foreign relations for almost a century before ties began to fray. In the early '90s, U.S. fire marshals determined the roughly 400-seat building was not up to code. Their orders called for a sprinkler system, a new fire escape from the thirdfloor balcony, and wheelchair access to the second-floor theater. The second of these posed the biggest problem, as adequate fire egress would require cutting through a wall adorned with a reclining nymph just stage right of the painted trellis proscenium. A Canadian reclining nymph. And according to Quebec's Cultural Property Act of 1992, reclining nymphs are not expendable. A regulatory border dispute flared up that raged for several years, closing the opera house (but not the library) until a more elegant solution — and the funds to pay for it — were arrived at. According to Marika Szabo, the Haskell's executive director, the renovation costs approached $800,000 in Canadian dollars. As if convincing people an opera house exists in the Northeast Kingdom weren't tough enough, getting them to pony up half a million bucks seemed impossible. Rep. Matt Dunne (DHartland) took up the cause in March 1995. With the Haskell still in regulatory limbo, Dunne succeeded in getting a state legislative committee to stop at the building on their bus trip to visit a correctional facility in Newport. "You had to see it to believe that such a jewel could be in that northernmost portion of Vermont," he says.

Moved by what they saw, the institutions committee — headed by Republican Senator Vincent Illuzi, whose district includes Derby Line — eventually allocated <100,000 in U.S. funds for renovations, which the province of Quebec matched, according to Dunne. Dunne, a capitol youngster at 28 who has enjoyed a number of arts-related successes in his three terms in office, calls the Haskell campaign "one of my proudest projects." Parties negotiating the impending renovations also came up with a plan they could be proud of. The nymph in question was spared by adding a few steps dipping below the balcony floor and leading to a door underneath her. Completed in December 1996, the modifications came at little sacrifice to the overall grandeur of the space — not a scratch to the vaulted, pastel-colored tin ceiling, not a single flying cherub lost. Since reopening in May 1997, the Haskell stage has been graced by everything from the Vermont Symphony Orchestra — the first group to perform, in conjunction with I Musici de Montreal, in the newly renovated house — to bona fide operas from the likes of the Montreal West Operatic Society. The bilingual brochure for the ambitious summer season promises concerts by a host of international rock, folk, blues and jazz artists, as well as familyoriented fare like "World Tales & Celtic Music." In keeping with arts venues the world over, though, building and booking it are no guarantee that people will come. And while the tourist season is in full swing and francophone attendance on the rise — both promising elements — other challenges confront the Haskell as it marches toward

The strategy paid off. Continued J u n e

Q: WOULD YOU BUY SUNGLASSES FROM THIS MAN?

Continued from page 15 its centennial. According to Szabo, Haskell administrators still need to raise in the neighborhood of $150,000 in Canadian funds to pay the renovations bill. The numbers rear their heads in other ways: "Basically, our population is getting older and dying off," Szabo adds. "So my strategy is to start having concerts for young people — the under50 crowd. Again, I'm finding out, it takes time. You have to build this up. It doesn't happen in one season or overnight."

As publicity coordinator Miriam Klein-Hansen points out, the Haskell stands to

become more than a testimony to good U.S.-Canada relations and the desire for arts culture even in the most rustic of regions. "We're interested in looking at ways that we can develop the opera house as a community resource," she says. "We're in a unique position...to augment the educational and cultural opportunities, particularly for children, in this area. We're at the very beginning of this adventure." Opera in the Northeast Kingdom? Adventure indeed. ® For information on events at the Haskell Opera House, check the Seven Days calendar on a weekly basis, or call 8733022for a complete schedule.

e've said it before, and we'll say it again: In the summer, all the state's a stage. From pros to part-time scene-stealers, Vermonters, it seems, like to act out. Add flatlanders borrowing barns and other rural venues, and you're looking at a lot of parts per acre. Summer theater offers thespian thrills from the serious to the seriously silly. These are not hard acts to follow — chances are there's a theater near you. If you just like to watch, get in line.

C H A M P L A I N ARTS THEATRE C O M P A N Y : Texas-born Director Veronica Lopez-Schultz is happy as a prairie dog to present a WildWest treatment of The Taming of the Shrew (by "Wild Bill" Shakespeare) at this year's Shakespeare by the Lake Production.

Summer finds Vermont theater companies on a role In alphabetical order (and to the best of our knowledge to date), here's what to applaud this summer:

ATLANTIC THEATER C O M P A N Y : The New-York based professional group founded by David Mamet and Bill Macy normally takes a summer break from its own fast-talking theater in Manhattan to chill in Vermont. But this year ATC is so busy with its new school — and accepting awards for its dramatic doings — that its Burlington City Hall season has been cut back to one week. Look for notice of two staged readings of new American plays the first week of August, one of which will likely be by Howard Boys Life Korder.

BREAD AND PUPPET: The popular — and free — weekend festival of puppet pageantry fills the natural amphitheater and surrounding woods with masks and magic, social politics and sourdough. August 8 & 9 in Glover. Info, 525-3031.

DORSET THEATRE ' FESTIVAL: Summer weather is reason enough for a drive to southern Vermont for a dose of professional theater at the sixtysomething Dorset Playhouse. The topic of aging — and golf — is wittily addressed in Golf with Alan Shepard (June 1127), followed by the zany comedy that inspired the Marx Brothers, Room Service (July 218). Don't Dress For Dinner serves up farce (July 23-August 8); the summer theater favorite, Agatha Christie, returns with the arachnodrama, Spiders Web (August 1329); and the Pulitzer Prizenominated Old Wicked Songs wraps up the season piano forte (September 3-12). Info and tickets, 867-5777.

Then it's the token serious offering, "Master Harold"... and the boys — a tour de force in black and white — by the South African playwright Athol Fugard (July 21 - August 1). The season's finale is the timelessly endearing Love Letters, A.R. Gurney's romantic comedy (August 4-8). In addition to the grownup fare at SMC, Tobin's added something new: a Children's Theatre Series presented by the Green Mountain Guild.

This year Unadilla presents Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard -, the Gilbert & Sullivan classic, H.M.S. Pinafore ; Art— performed last year when no one had heard of it, now an international hit — by Yasmina Reza; comedienne Paula Plum's perennial Plum Delight; Aristophanes' still-startling sex-strike fantasy Lysistrata; and The Beauty Queen of Leenane, by the hot new British playwright Martin McDonagh.

A new film about vanishing Vermont puts the focus on sprawl Bv D a v i d H e a l v "Hi. nowing no bounds, it moves unceasingly across Vermont. In steps leaving oversized footprints, it gobbles up trees and fields, people and places, feeding off everything in its path. Godzilla gone awry? A grade-B horror flick? Worse. Its suburban sprawl. Act 200 — the states landmark growth-planning law — has been in place for 10 years. But take a look around Chittenden County, Stowe, Waitsfield, or practically any place in Vermont, and you'll see the shadow of the monster sprawl on the land. Pick up a newspaper and the headlines will trumpet the conflicts and colloquy of the day: a fight over a big box in Williston, a conference for sprawl-busters, even a senatorial request to have Washington report on the issue. But in a more tangible way inherent to his medium, Rick Moulton's new movie — Change & Challenge: Vermonters at Work — puts Vermont's battle with sprawl into sharper focus. The documentary, which premiered recently on Vermont Public Television, examines the interdependence between the environment and the economy. Beginning with a historical perspective that characterizes

much of the Huntington filmmaker's work, the movie speaks volumes about the changing complexion of the places where we work, live and play. "The film shows us where we've been," says Moulton, creator of a classic documentary called Legends of American Skiing, "and that gives us insight into what's around the next corner." At the moment, the data suggest, that's a fairly scary picture. According to one estimate, Vermont's land use

If Vermont is to remain a Little Switzerland riding on tourist greenbacks, as one farmer in Change & Challenge suggests,

agriculture and open space need to remain part of the working landhas quadrupled since 1980, as 400,000 acres of open space give way to houses, malls and self-storage facilities every year nationwide. "Our way of life in Vermont is threatened both from within and from without," says Delia Clark, director of a community-based planning group in the Upper Valley and

one of 70 people Moulton interviewed for the film project. "But we can maintain our values, we can maintain our landscape and we can maintain our way of life," Clark urges in Change & Challenge. "We can do that by having a strong understanding of what our way of life is." Our past and present way of life, as Moulton learned, is much more complex than Vermont's bucolic image. The "pastoral myth" of the Green Mountain State, as Norwich historian Dick Hathaway describes it, not only distorts the hardships of the hardscrabble forms but also masks a manufacturing base that historically anchored many Vermont villages. In the middle part of this century, for instance, the Connecticut River Valley was considered the high-tech center of the country. But despite the state's industrial roots — or perhaps because of them — Vermont remained rural and the landscape open. In a typical Vermont village, the sense of community was strong and directed inward to the town center, where houses, mills and stores sat comfortably surrounded by family farms, the hour-long documentary relates. In the space of a few decades, that picture changed Continued on next page

1958, traditional industries declined in the '60s and '70s, tourism rode the new Interstate to prominence. Today, the industry accounts for about 14 percent of the states economy. But if Vermont is to remain a Little Switzerland riding on tourist greenbacks, as one farmer in Change & Challenge suggests, agriculture and open space need to remain part of the working landscape. The problem, to paraphrase Robert Cray, is that the very thing that makes us rich makes us poor. As tourists become transplants or tax-paying second-homeowners — fields fill in with developments, and ridgelines play host to everyone's desire for 10 acres in heaven. Tn the process of carving up the state, we risk not only the scenic beauty we rely on — not to mention the wildlife that inhabits it — but also an essential part of Vermont's soul, the film conveys. As development spreads outward, our strongest tie to our neighbors becomes the concrete arteries that we share on the way to work.

"The question is, 'Can Vermont really say we re drawing a .line, we've made a stand, we're going to be different, and say to the world that that difference makes sense?'" asks Gardener's Supply founder Will Raap at the end of Change & Challenge. "If we can do that, we will be making a huge contribution to the next century." ®

venue for 300 free concerts. These are held on nine different stages from noon to 1 a.m. daily. Various halls, most of which are also in the downtown core, also are appropriated for the nearly 100 indoor evening concerts, and the Cinematheque Quebesoise gets into the act with a special film series. There's even a mascot: a supercool, trumpetplaying blue feline with a halo, known as "Ste. Cat." This is jazz very broadly defined — Dixieland, tango, gospel, fusion and blues — and the performers range from the roots of the genre to some very recent branches. The Labatt Blues stage faces a large green space at the corner of St. Urbain and Maisonneuve. Fans bring blankets to spread and just hang out there under the trees and stars for the whole evening. Another stage, plunked down on an empty parking lot two blocks away, showcases Latin and Caribbean rhythms, with plenty of room for dancing. The main stage, facing the Place des Arts plaza steps and fountain, is where the major outdoor concerts are held. There's great people-watching at this venue every afternoon.

with jazz, my partner was able to throw a Leonard Cohen line her way, accusing her of impersonating the "Jazz Police." Keynoters this year include Wynton Marsalis (July 4), Joe Henderson (July 3) and Wayne Shorter (July 9).

Find a spot on the steps, kick back, have a cold one, hide behind your sunglasses, and enjoy the melange of mellow, Metheny-esque music. Steve Winwood brings his Latino project, featuring Tito Puente and Arturo Sandoval on July 3. Bela Fleck and the Flecktones will add jazz-funkbluegrass-blues banjo to the mix (July 3 & 4). Irma Thomas, Marcia Ball and Tracy Nelson appear together in the Voix du Monde series (July 1), stopping in Montreal on their "Sing It!" tour. The legendary Bunny Wailer and son-of-legend Andrew Tosh appear together at Metropolis

tures." He plays at Foufounes Electriques on July 3. Israeli vocalist Noa will perform with her group at Spectrum on July 8. The Africa Fete at Club Metropolis will present Mali's Salif Keita and his new Wanda Band, Zaire's Papa Wemba with his group Molokai and Somalian Maryam Mursal. Senegal's Cheikh Lo — who is a prot ^ of Youssou N'Dour — is also part of the African mix on July 4. There are even a couple of acts you never thought you'd see again: Roberta Flack, making a comeback, appears at the Salle Wilfred-Pelletier opera house (July 2), and Sinead O'Connor will perform at Metropolis (July 8), promoting her new CD, Gospel Oak. Guess she's made up with the Pope. The outdoor schedules had not been released as of press time, but information about the Festival line-up and programs are available by calling the Info-Jazz Bell line, toll-free: 1-888-515-0515.

the outdoor stages. Look for free programs at the kiosks for each days activities. Several hotels are offering jazz festival specials — from $35 per person for four sharing a room at the Hotel Des Gouverneurs (close to St. Denis and UQAM), to $100 per person for two at the Ritz Carlton. Call the same number listed above for information or reservations for the six participating hotels. Food and drink concessions are located throughout the site, and you're encouraged to patronize them, as the revenue helps to underwrite the free programming. But if you need to take a break from the goings-on, a great meal in in Chinatown or other locations is minutes away. Here are some suggestions: Since Chinatown is so close, you should take the opportunity to visit. Starting on Ste. Catherine, walk one block south (toward Old Town and the river) on St. Urbain. Cross Blvd. Ren£ Levesque and you are there. For dim sum, try the Ming Do, upstairs at 1115 Clarke. (Dim sum, the Chinese "brunch" of dumplings, wrapplings and other delicious morsels, is served from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. — but get there before 11:30 or after 1 to avoid a long wait.) For Vietnamese, try either Pho Bac at 1016 St. Laurent, or Cristal de Saigon, at 1068 St. Laurent. For both Thai and Chinese, try Tong Por at 43 La Gaucheti£re East.

If no one in your group can agree on a cuisine style, there's a huge food court right next to the festival site, on the M^tro level of the Hotel Complex Desjardins. You'll find everything from healthy salads to pontine — the Quebec national dish of fries with gravy and cheese curds — as well as Italian, Chinese, Lebanese and more. If you're in the mood for Middle Eastern, you should know that there's more to this cuisine than falafel and gyros. Try a shish-taouk, it's built like a gyro but made with rotisserie-roasted sliced chicken instead of spicy ground lamb, then piled on a pita and stuffed with chopped cukes, lettuce, tomatoes and a yogurt-cuke-garlic sauce. The best in town can be found at Alexandria, an Egyptian restaurant at 373 St. Catherine (one block west of Place des Arts). Order it alone {shish-taouk pita) or with a selection of salads (.shish-taouk pl&t— as in plate). Take it out or sit at one of the five tables in this tiny but clean and cozy restaurant. It's an incredible bargain at $3.50. Also available daily at the Alexandria: vegetarian or meat couscous, falafel, lots of salads, including a great tabouli, and heavenly Middle Eastern pastries. The location makes it a perfect place to grab a quick meal between sets at the Jazz Fest. (Don't try to emporter past the Jazz Fest barricades, however; no food except from their food con-

cessions is allowed on-site.) „ By the way, did you know there's a restaurant on the top floor of Eaton's Department Store that's a true-to-scale replica of the dining room of the 1920s trans-Atlantic ocean liner The lie de Francei Long before Titanic made shipboard dining the dream of every teenager, Montreal parents were bringing their kids to Le Neuvieme ("The Ninth") for the Grande Buffet. It's still very reasonably priced at $12.95 for adults, half-price for children under 12. Dozens of salads, pates, cheeses and meats are attended by a stovepipe-hatted chef, and there is an extensive dessert buffet, too. There's also a luncheon menu of salads, soups and sandwiches, and a trte nouveau offering, a pasta bar, where your pasta is made to order. Eaton's is on Ste. Catherine, four blocks west of the festival site, and in the center of the shopping district. If you really need to chill, walk over to Jello Bar, 151 Ontario East. It's a martini bar that looks just like a '50s living room, where you'll find giant orange ashtrays with gold flecks, yellow and turquoise lampshades in odd geometric shapes, boxy sofas and space-age armchairs. This bar also boasts the the city's largest collection of authentic, original lava lamps. Live music, too — definitely not from the '50s. Bon Festival! (Z)

A PERFECT MURDER*** Director Andrew {Above the Law, Code of Silence, The Fugitive) Davis has been promoting his remake of Alfred Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder as "better and smarter than the original." That claim may well be the most entertaining thing about the movie. Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow stand in for Ray Milland and Grace Kelley, and that should say nearly everything that needs to be said right there. Douglas pretty much just recycles his Wall Street character. This time around, though, he's Gordon Gekko on a cold streak, a tycoon who knows he's on the brink of losing it all — his millions and his beautiful young (I mean really young) wife. A wife who just happens to have a trust fund worth $100 million. In a stunning display of Hollywood underwriting, Paltrow's character is engaged in a torrid affair with a grungy slimeball painter (Viggo Mortensen) because, as she

explains to a girlfriend, her husband "has to have everything on his terms." In a twist on the original story, the husband not only confronts his wife's lover but hires him to murder her as well. From the moment these two numnuts get together to plot their evil deed, it's Windex-clear things are going to go anything but perfectly. After all, it's the '90s. What's a remake without a newly empowered female lead? Davis struggles in vain to drum up some suggestion of classic style and sophistication, but comes up with little more than a tired montage of swank executive offices, swank Manhattan penthouses and swank limos pulling up to swank eateries. Lost in the designer-wear and jewelry, the principle characters seem mumbly, vacant and underdeveloped. We never understand, for example, why the two ever married in the first place, why Paltrow chooses an affair over divorce, why they fell out of love, or at what point Douglas became a human capable of contemplating murder. A quintessentially '90s film, A Perfect Murder is all sparkle and shorthand. Something else I never understand: Where directors who rarely make good movies get the idea they have what it takes to make great ones.

30TH ANNUAL SHOW, works inn

A scholarly symposium- makes a positive impression at the Shelburne Museum Bv

Melanie

Menaqh

ast Saturday a group of well-turned-out Vermonters gathered at the Shelburne Museum for a symposium entitled "Impressionist Paintings at the Shelburne Museum,"a crowdpleaser featuring talks by renowned art historians on those perennial darlings of the gallery circuit, Edgar Degas and Claude Monet. This juicy line-up was given extra piquancy by a lecture on Mary Cassatt, a friend and colleague of Degas. The American Impressionist was also a friend, significantly, of Louisine Havemeyer, mother of Shelburne Museum founder Electra Havemeyer Webb. Cassatt's 1885 pastel, "Portrait of Louisine Havemeyer and her Daughter Electra," was purchased in December 1996, a month after the highly controversial deaccessioning — a genteel term for selling off — of five of the Museums Impressionist holdings. The sale heard 'round the world — the art world, anyway — set off a firestorm of criticism. Deaccessioning was OK if funds were used to buy other works, some thought, but the Shelburne reportedly earmarked the cash to maintain and preserve existing holdings. ARTnews magazine

page^

predicted a sell-off of America's artistic patrimony. The Association of Art Museum Directors declared it a clear violation of its code of ethics. J. Watson Webb, Electra's son and thenChairman of the Shelburne's Board of Trustees, adamantly opposed the deaccessioning. The 80-year-old Webb, who had overseen the museum since I960, resigned from the board in January 1997. This subtext surely added a sense of drama to the already intriguing occasion of the Impressionist symposium — especially given that the lectures were held in the room next door to the newly acquired Cassatt portrait. The day promised to be an immersion in the life and times of the Impressionists as well as current, cutting-edge criticism of their work. First up was Henry Joyce, himself a recent "acquisition" as Paintings Curator, with an overview of the Museum's collection of 14 Impressionist works. Louisine and her husband, Henry O., and their children had donated about 150 paintings to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, insuring the family's place in the pantheon of America's foremost patrons of the arts. In the 1870s, Cassatt had introduced Louisine to a circle of Parisian artists. She encouraged, and often brokered, her

friend's purchases of Monets, Manets and Degas. "Cassatt led her to the trough," says Joyce, "but, boy, did she drink." That segued into a discussion of the new Cassatt portrait. Louisine owned about 17 of her friend's pastels — an experimental medium at the time. Patricia Mainardi, Professor of Art, Graduate Center, City University of New York, was in mythdebunking mode, explaining

In the 1870s, Cassatt had introduced Louisine to a circle of Parisian artists. She encouraged, and often brokered, her friend's purchases of Monets, Manets and Degas. that the Impressionists were only a small fraction of the "underemployed, overproductive" artists rejected by the Academy at the time. Many of their so-called artistic "innovations," considered so radical, were in fact not unprecedented. Furthermore, "their legendary poverty has been much exaggerated," Mainardi

revealed — most of the Impressionists came from bourgeois families. Last year, Gary Tinterow, a curator of 19th-century European paintings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, produced a show in New York recreating Degas' private art collection. The artist was a zealous collector with wideranging tastes, he explained at the Shelburne symposium. "He would paint and sell off pieces on Tuesday," said Tinterow, "if a work he wanted were coming up at auction on Wednesday." Later in life, Degas began to sort through his collection, deciding what to keep and what to deaccession, in preparation for establishing a Musee Degas — ultimately an unrealized dream. Tinterow argued that "through Cassatt, Degas' legacy as a collector was conveyed to the Havemeyers." His panoptic interests "brought into juxtaposition Delacroix and Van Gogh, Cezanne and El Greco. At a time when there were no art history books, he had a vision of a new kind of museum of living history." After lunch, Steven Levine, a professor of art history at Bryn Mawr College, gave a dense, difficult talk on the Impressionists' relation to modernism and modernity,

drawing definitions from Beaudelaire, who saw the ephemeral, the fugitive and the contingent as "modern." The symposium concluded with Cassatt scholar Eugenie Predergrast, a curator at Williams College Museum of Art, and Cassatt biographer Nancy Mowll Mathews, out to re-jigger conventional wisdom. In the 1950s, a critic wrote that Cassatt's work ultimately was only about "tea, clothes and nursery; nursery, clothes and tea." Mathews didn't refute the obvious fact that Cassatts are full of kettles, frocks and infants. She did argue, however, that for the 19th-century woman, tea was not an occasion for idle family chatter but for the sophisticated conversation of the salon, or for conducting business. Many a picture was sold by Cassatt, suggested Mathews, over Lapsang Suchong. Clothes, likewise, were important as signifiers of identity, class, position and personal expression. And children weren't mere sentimental, ornamental cherubs; they represented generational continuity. "Family was dynasty," said Mathews. "Family equaled money and power, and the continuation into the future of that enterprise." At the end of a rousing art-history-rich day, Mathews examined the picture of Cassatt's friend holding her

daughter. "It's really extraordinary," she mused. "There are so many subtleties in her work. It's amazing how many colors there are in a pink and white dress." Even Mathews conceded, though, that in the Cassatt canon this painting is probably not among her finest. "It's too particular to be used to illustrate points in an art history course," she explained, adding that it is nonetheless a vital piece for the Shelburne Museum. "This is important. Louisine had come to France when Cassatt's mother was dying. She was the last of Cassatt's close family, and Louisine came over to help out her friend and to sit with her dying mother," Mathews said. "Mary and Louisine were similar.. .they liked wheeling and dealing." So it seems suitable that this pastel, painted when Cassatt was experiencing upheavals in her own family and was comforted by her friend, has brought a measure of peace to Louisine's "household." Its acquisition was indisputably an enormous public relations coup, silencing the anti-deaccessioning sniping in a stroke. "I know it was a difficult decision, but if it's a matter of insuring continuity of the museum versus a few of the pictures, [the board] made a reasonable compromise," confirmed Tinterow, who was equally sanguine about the pastel purchase. "It's a fine painting and obviously of great importance to this institution. It shows the origins of Electra Webb as an inheritor of Impressionist paintings, and the history of the Havemeyers as the most important American collectors of 19thcentury French painters. They've still not been equaled, and probably never will be." ®

same thing in that milieu. Wives have been instructed to "submit" to their husbands in biblical terms, which I would assume to mean all biblical terms, since we're talking about literalists. Women will thus be "unclean" much of the time, but must part the veil when their Master beckons. Men seem to have forgotten lately that they already own and run the world — more than ever now in the era of corporate government — and that women, for that matter, are easy to get rid of. Nothing simpler than to dump a woman who's in your way. Ask any woman. Unfortunately, women know this, too, which must account for the article I saw in Redbook recently while waiting to have my hair cut at J.C. Penney's (where I went, of course, to research this column). The story promised 30-odd ways to DRIVE HIM INSANE WITH DESIRE!— this at a time when Viagra has just hit the shelves and, worse, the streets, where it is sold illegally to anyone who

resurgence of old-fashioned masculinity across the land. (It would be best, ladies, not to follow too many of Redbook's helpful hints when it comes to teasing Dad. The only one I actually remember said, "Feed him kiwi." My advice: Don't.) In fact it's getting dangerous to be a woman in Dad's household, what with the ever-ready hard-ons and the pills he takes to grow hair. One of these, Propecia, advertises on television that pregnant women should never handle a pill that's been broken, as it can lead to "a certain birth defect." Which one, I wonder? Propecia doesn't say. Could there be a defect that specifically prevents children from playing soccer? Or a gene that renders American males unaroused by size, indifferent to winning, happy to grow where they're planted and only casually romantic when they've had some wine? If that's the case, Propecia is smart not to mention it. I'll leave you with the recommendation that you all walk — no, run — to the nearest bookstore and get yourself a copy of James Hillman's The Soul's Code. Hillman is one of the only men in America talking sense about fathers, who, he insists, are supposed to be "outside the home." They belong there, Hillman thinks, hunting and hustling and working on deals, not at home where they can play with the children's heads and drive Mom to a nervous collapse. So let's hear it for absentee fathers. It's the way things were meant to be. (7)

ARICS (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): The word "school" comes from schole, the ancient Greek word for "leisure." Judging by this etymology, we might surmise that Athenian time-travelers from 300 B.C. would be perplexed by our desire to kill our free time by sunbathing or playing cards or watching TV. For them, spare moments were opportunities to expand their learning. N o w it so happens, Aries, that at this particular astrological juncture, the Greek approach makes perfect sense for you. Use your idle hours to stretch, not numb, your mind.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): On July 4, 1776, English King George III made this entry in his diary: "Nothing of importance happened today." Back then, of course, there were no electronic media transmitting news of events the moment they happened. Thus, George was unaware of the hubbub erupting across the ocean in Philadelphia. Meditate on that historical scene this week, Taurus. It'll help you appreciate the fact that though your own day-to-day rhythm may seem quite ordinary, a turning point will be transpiring out of sight. Can you guess where? (Hint: Follow the spiral.)

L € 0 (July 23-Aug. 22): The chorus of an old Depeche Mode song goes like this: "I don't want to start/Any blasphemous rumors/But I think that God's/Got a sick sense of humor/And when I die/I expect tofindhim laughing." I have a grudging respect for this tune. In an age when God has been co-opted by intolerant fundamentalists and mirthless sentimentalists, I appreciate any artist who suggests there's more to the Infinite Spirit than the pinched personality described in the Bible or Koran. O n the other hand, Depeche Mode's notion of the Lord is a crock, too. It's as much a hostage to pop cultures knee-jerk nihilism as the rightwing bigots' "God" is to their w preme Being is that kr^jftris* ^ s e of

cooked a single pot of rice or warmed a child on a cold winter morning. And what does that have to do with you? I believe there's been a comparable scenario in your own life, Virgo — a long-running waste of precious energy. But if my reading of the astrological omens is correct, you're about to stop the bleeding. If and when you do, please move on swiftly to the next task: finding a way to wisely exploit all those rich

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In fairy tales, the deep, dark forest is a symbol of nature in its wild, scary state. The garden, on the other hand, is an embodiment of human control over primal forces. In between these two extremes is the grove, a small cluster of trees with little underbrush. It's here, our ancestors thought, that supernatural beings reveal themselves to pilgrims whore seeking guidance. I believe that the grove is the metaphorical equivalent of where you now find yourself, Libra. You're half-in and half-out: a perfect spot to rest and reflect and pray for an BUSS**

Don't imitate the way he conducts himself in a fight, which is to keep brawling long past the point when he should give up. In conclusion, my fellow Moon Children, imitate but don't imitate the rooster. Abandon your futile struggle and retreat so that you will be in the right place at the right time to herald the return of the light.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Are you familiar with the Jungian notions of animus and anima! For you women, the animus is an imaginal character that personifies all that's masculine in your own psyche. Similarly, the anima embodies a man's feminine qualities. I believe that whatever gender or sexual preference you are, Sagittarius, you're now on the verge of a mystical marriage with one of those creatures from inner space. In dreams or twilight reveries, you women will reach a new stage of intimate communion with your animus; you men will enjoy an analogous rite with your anima. Warning; This awesome but veiled rite of passage may be confusing to your relationships with actual flesh-and-blood lovers.

you contentedly drifting down a river in a small boat. Up ahead a ways there loomed a precipitous waterfall, but you seemed blithely unaware of it. I immediately got worried, of course, but I also realized that you still had time to stop going with the flow. That's why I'm advising you to put your oars in the water and row over to shore right now.

Pisces

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): As you slip into the lyrically lustful season, you might like to expand the way you express ^yourself. The prosaic rhythms of ordinary speech, after all, won't be sufficient to convey the oceanic feelings you'll soon be inundated by. To stimulate your imagination, study the codes below, wheh are lifted from an old book by G.W. Gessman on the language of flowers. Send an apricot branch to someone, Gessman says, and you are in effect saying, "Angel of your sex, I worship you!" Red carnation: "You will be able to resist no longer, once you see the extent of my esteem and love." Amaryllis: "I remain favorably disposed to you despite your knavery." Cottonflower: "The blossoms of our union are still tender, so I tend them with careful love." Bindweed: "No gaze in the world is so keen, so deep, as the hawks eye of
