He is her only surviving relative, his wife, Lily, having died in child-birth 10 years earlier. Archibald is a hunchback, grown bitter after the tragic death of his wife.

He has closed off her beloved garden and his heart, not even seeing his own son. When Mary comes to his home, the ghosts of her father and Lily seem to haunt her and her uncle. She turns to her maid, the gardener and a strange young man in the woods for companionship and guidance.

Volunteer opportunities abound at Heritage Center

AVE YOU ALWAYS wanted to learn how to quilt, make butter or milk a cow? Are you looking for a family-friendly volunteer opportunity? The American West Heritage Center is preparing for another fun-filled year, and seeks volunteers to be part of it. New and returning volunteers are invited to the annual Volunteer Orientation and Pancake Breakfast at the AWHC from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 26.

Volunteers are an essential part of the AWHC’s mission to celebrate and teach about the history of the West from 1820 to 1920. Some volunteers dress in historical clothing, interact with visitors and animals and share their knowledge and skills with people of all ages. Other volunteers help behind the scenes with construction and restoration projects. There is even a need for volunteers to drive a train! The AWHC event calendar (found at www.awhc. org) is filled with festivals of

all kinds (such as Baby Animal Days, Daily Adventures during the summertime, and Fall Harvest Days), which means there are many diverse opportunities. For college students, internship credit may be available. Those who attend the Volunteer Orientation and Pancake Breakfast can expect a delicious meal, information about policies and procedures and an overview of the events at the AWHC. For more information, contact Lorraine Bowen at 2456050 x 24.

BYU Men’s Chorus makes first trip to Logan

RIGHAM YOUNG University’s Men’s Chorus will perform at 7 p.m. on Friday, March 4, at the Logan Tabernacle. Free admission. At 190 voices strong with regular extended tours, the BYU Men’s Chorus is the largest and one of the most popular men’s choirs in the United States. Conducting this critically-acclaimed choir is Rosalind Hall, a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music who has earned a host of accolades. As a native of Wales in Great Britain, Hall comes from a land with one of the strongest choral traditions in the world. She came to the

U.S. to continue her studies at BYU, earning a master’s degree. Prior to directing the Men’s Chorus, she was director of choral activities and music department chair at the Waterford School in Sandy, Utah. Men’s Chorus is known for concerts full of every kind of music, including Gregorian Chants, classical pieces, hymns, spirituals and traditional arrangements. The group has traveled to California, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho and throughout Utah performing as the feature choir and in popular venues like the American Choral Directors Association and the Celebrity Concert Series.

In 2009, Deseret Book rereleased the popular Men’s Chorus albums “Awake My Soul” and “Shout with Glory,” two of the group’s eight album releases. In the fall of 2005, Men’s Chorus released its latest commerical album, a longawaited disc titled “Praise Him.” Produced by Tantara Records, BYU’s own recording label, the CD features 19 songs that demonstrate the power and versatility of the group through a combination of anthems, folk songs and hymns. The CD includes familiar favorites like “Danny Boy,” “Shanandoah” and “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.”

Film buffs invited to enter USU contest WO THOUSAND DOLLARS T is up for grabs at the 2011 Fringe Film Festival, presented by Utah State University’s Caine College of the Arts and the Logan Arthouse and Cinema. Entries must fit the 2011 Fringe theme “Twitterpated: a Spring Love Comedy” and be turned into the Chase Fine Arts Center Manager’s office (inside the Tippetts Exhibit Hall) with the official entry fee and form by April 1. “The short-film festival, which is scheduled to take place April 15 at the Logan Arthouse, will have a different vibe than in past years,” said Denise Albiston, marketing director for the Caine College of the Arts. “This is a chance to offer greater

exposure to Cache Valley film makers and display their talent in this community.” Rules, regulations, information and the entry form are available at the Fringe Film Festival website (arts.usu.edu/fringe). “Our goal is to make this film festival a little more like Sundance, except with a four-minute limit,” said Jonathan Ribera, co-owner of the Logan Arthouse. “We’re working with the Caine College of the Arts to up the prize money from last year’s $1,000 and add a few new community-engaging twists.” New aspects to this year’s film festival include requiring all films to follow the same theme, removing the use of required elements in films,

increased prize money and greater interaction with the winning entrants as directors explain the creativity behind their films at the festival, said Albiston. The $2,000 cash prize will be awarded to the entry that receives the Critics’ Choice Award, selected by a panel of professional judges. Other awards, based on the results of online voting at arts.usu.edu/fringe, may also be announced at the film festival. There is a $50 fee per entry and entrants must be 16 years of age or older to be eligible. For more information, call 7979203 or visit arts.usu.edu/fringe.

Museum explores beauty standards EAUTY” AND HOW “B it is perceived is the next topic at Utah State University’s Museum of Anthropology and its “Saturdays at the Museum” series. The museum presents educational displays Saturday, Feb. 26, that look at how perceptions and standards of beauty have changed through time among gender and cultures throughout the world.

cultures have altered their looks through tattoos, piercings and other body modifications, including plastic surgery, foot binding and neck stretching. The museum offers informational tours at 11 a.m., 1 and 3 p.m. The museum will also provide free face painting, henna tattoo painting and hair tying for interested participants. The USU Museum of Anthropology is on the USU campus in

the south turret of the historic Old Main building, Room 252. In addition to its Saturday program hours, the Museum of Anthropology is open to USU students and members of the public six days a week, with regular hours Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free.

USU geologist to discuss history of climate change

LIMATE CHANGE IS A hot topic of current interest but what do we know about climate changes that occurred in the distant past? Inquiring minds of all ages are invited to the Science Unwrapped presentation “Records of Past Climate Change” Friday, Feb. 25, at Utah State University. Featured speaker is Tammy Rittenour, assistant professor in USU’s Department of Geology and director of the USU Luminescence Lab. Her talk takes participants on a journey in paleoclimatology, the study of climatic conditions in the geologic past. The presentation, hosted by USU’s College of Science, begins at 7 p.m. in the Emert Auditorium, Room 130, of the Eccles Science Learning Center. Admission is free and open to all. Following Rittenour’s talk, attendees are invited to bring their “mystery rocks” for identification by USU

geologists. Participants will enjoy free refreshments along with a variety of hands-on activities in the ESLC atrium ranging from Pangaea puzzles and climatic maps to examination of tree rings and learning how geologic samples are collected.

Teen piano prodigy joins Cache Symphony Orchestra

HE CACHE SYMPHONY Orchestra will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 27, in the Kent Concert Hall at Utah State University. Admission is free. The program will begin with Franz Schubert’s Overture to the Magic Harp, originally a piano duet written for a short play that evolved into the famous Rosamunde. Following this the orchestra will amuse you with the Schvanda Polka, a humorous piece written by a Czech-American composer who was otherwise famous for writing serious, humorless music. The third piece of the night will feature one of the winners of a local Piano Festival, Jessica Christensen (age 15), who has studied the piano since age 6 and received several awards throughout her career. This year she will be performing the tranquil

2nd movement of Chopin’s Piano Concerto in F minor. Next on the program will be the performance of Alexander Borodin’s Symphony No. 2 in B minor. Borodin was better known as a chemist and a physician. The tone then lightens up with a performance of Debussy’s Ballet from Petit Sweet, which was originally written for four hands on a piano and was later arranged for a full orchestra by Henri Büsser. The concert will conclude with a piece from the ballet Gayane. The famous Sabre Dance by Aram Khachaturian is an intense piece written for sword-wielding ballet dancers. The Cache Symphony Orchestra is in its 37th season and has grown from a small chamber orchestra performing in the lobby of the Kent Concert Hall to an 85 member symphony orchestra performing on the stage.

Film New this week “I Am Number Four” Rated PG-13 ★★ Great, another Chosen One. Director D.J. Caruso’s action tale “I Am Number Four” is mostly familiar stuff, presenting the latest teen outsider coming into possession of his latent superpowers just in time to battle evil forces intent on world chaos. While the filmmakers manage some entertaining fight sequences, they offer a standard-issue gang of heroes backed by a vague, unoriginal mythology about human-looking aliens finding refuge on Earth after their planet is destroyed. Alex Pettyfer has the title role, one of nine youths being hunted down by the destroyers of their own world before the kids develop genetically inherited abilities that could help them defeat the bad guys, who now aim to invade Earth. One character notes that his upbringing was like an endless episode of “The X-Files,” but even weak installments of that show had more creepy chills and clever twists than this. 109 minutes. “Unknown” Rated PG-13 ★★1⁄2 A couple of years ago, Liam Neeson starred as a former CIA agent in “Taken,” searching for his kidnapped daughter and kicking as much butt as necessary to find her. Now, he’s continuing this fascinating late-career path, remaining in actionstar mode as he creeps ever closer to 60. It’s a chilly little thriller about amnesia, mistrust and lost identity, with the kinds of chases and explosions you’ve seen countless times before. Interchangeable Euro baddies lurk in the shadows, seemingly omniscient and omnipresent, waiting to

strike. Nothing and no one is what it seems, which makes the unpredictability somewhat more predictable. Still, Neeson’s always-intelligent screen presence, his nuance and gravitas, help elevate “Unknown” beyond its preposterous elements. He gets help from a classy supporting cast, including Frank Langella and Sebastian Koch. And, to be fair, the film from Spanish director Jaume ColletSerra has its suspenseful moments, including the startling, precisely staged taxicab accident that sends Neeson’s character, Dr. Martin Harris, on his dangerous journey. Martin had traveled to Berlin for a scientific conference, but the crash places him in a four-day coma. When he awakens, his wife (January Jones) insists she doesn’t know him and another man (Aidan

Quinn) has assumed his identity. Martin seeks help from the cab driver (Diane Kruger) to piece together what happened. 106 minutes.

Still playing “The Eagle” Rated PG-13 ★★1⁄2 The gladiatorial thumbs-up or thumbs-down is a key plot point in this ancient Roman adventure. The movie itself merits more of a thumb wriggling horizontally, nudging upward for its precise detail and gorgeous landscapes but downward for its somewhat hollow characters and their admirable but monotonous sense of honor. Channing Tatum and Jamie Bell deliver solid though unremarkable performances as a former Roman soldier and a British slave on a quest beyond the edge of the

known world to retrieve the standard of a lost legion that vanished in the wilds of 2nd-century Scotland. Director Kevin Macdonald (”The Last King of Scotland”) crafts a technically sumptuous epic, glorious to the eye though often dry and uninvolving to the ear. The movie is based on Rosemary Sutcliff’s 1954 novel, “The Eagle of the Ninth,” a tale written for young readers that does not ripen well for a modern grown-up audience. The skirmishes and images are suited for adult crowds, yet the ideals and emotions that bond the main characters are boyish and stunted, leaving the movie caught between mature action and shallow characterizations. 114 minutes.

“Gnomeo & Juliet” Rated G ★★ This animated riff on “Romeo and Juliet,” with yard gnomes standing in for our star-crossed lovers, doesn’t have a single original idea in its pointy, ceramic head. Spirited and brisk as this family film can be, its energy cannot disguise the fact that it’s an awkward mash-up of Shakespeare puns, hackneyed pop culture references and familiar Elton John songs. The concept is clever enough — I mean, come on, who doesn’t like yard gnomes? — but that’s pretty much all this film from director Kelly Asbury (”Shrek 2”) is. Like “Snakes on a Plane,” the title is the gag, and it tells you all you need

to know. And of course, “Gnomeo & Juliet” is in 3-D. While adding a third dimension can provide an inspired sense of perspective and makes some of the details pop in a tactile way — the chips in the gnomes’ paint, the smudges of dirt on their faces — it is, as always, unnecessary. “Gnomeo & Juliet” does feature a strong voice cast, though, led by James McAvoy, Emily Blunt, Michael Caine and Maggie Smith. Some of the one-liners and visual bits hit their targets, but for the most part, reheated gags and sequences that recall earlier, better animated films are the norm. 84 minutes. — All reviews by The Associated Press

HE FARRELLY brothers are obsessed with making movies about shallow males who act more like giant manbabies than actual human beings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dumb and Dumber,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Something About Mary,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shallow Hal,â&#x20AC;? all full of men who act like 14-year-olds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hall Passâ&#x20AC;? is no different. Again weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re faced with two leads that have not grasped the concept of reality. Here Rick (Owen Wilson) and Fred (Jason Sudeikis) are convinced that if it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for their marriages theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be picking up chicks left and right. Their wives played by Christina Applegate and Jenna Fischer are sick of their childish behavior, so at the behest of their friend whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shrink they decide to give their husbands a â&#x20AC;&#x153;hall pass.â&#x20AC;? This means that for an entire week Rick and Fred, two suburbanites whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been completely cut off from the dating world for years, have now been thrust back into that world unencumbered by their burdensome marriages. Pretty much everything about â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hall Passâ&#x20AC;? requires supreme suspension of disbelief. First of all weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to believe that Rick and Fred were somehow able to land Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate as spouses. Second, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to swallow the fact that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather be messing around with other women. Third weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re made to believe that this is actually a good and healthy idea to strengthen oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marriage. So, the hall pass week begins. Rick and Fred head on over to the nearest Applebeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to meet

theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made themselves out to be. But, then the Farrelly brothers regress to their old tricks and stick in scenes like guys eating pot brownies and getting into shenanigans on the golf course. This is a hard R-rated raunchy comedy, which the Farrelly brothers have been making for quite a long time. With â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Something About Mary,â&#x20AC;? the brothers created a surreal comedy about a bunch of numbskulls who were infatuated with one girl. It

was funny. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still funny. The idea, however, has worn thin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hall Passâ&#x20AC;? isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that different. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got the Farrellys written all over it from the gross-out conversations to the seemingly indispensible side character that suddenly jumps into the picture as a homicidal maniac. I did laugh, quite often, during â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hall Pass.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got some witty, bizarre scenes including a scene where Rick and Fred are overheard, via video cameras, making fun of their

rich friend and his wife. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some genuinely comedic material in here, but in the end the movie becomes way too preachy

for its own good. We know that Rick and Fred are going to have a revelation about their marriages. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a given. The movie also cuts back and forth between what the guys are doing and what their wives are up to. The scenes with Fischer and Applegate are dreadfully dull, and only serve to stop the movie dead in its tracks. The Farrellys know how to craft a decent comedy, but this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen from them before. Slightly different gimmick, same juvenile characters, but if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for then â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hall Passâ&#x20AC;? has got you covered.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hall Passâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is classic Farrelly fare

A one-woman band

HIlary Murray performs with multiple instruments during her looping show at Caffe Ibis Friday.

y the time she was eight years old, Hilary Murray had a pretty good idea of what she wanted to do, and she knew it would involve music. She and her two siblings were taking piano lessons in their Smithfield home, but for Hilary that wasn’t enough. She wanted a violin. As her dad, Mark Murray, tells the story, Hilary had her heart set on a beautiful — and expensive — instrument, one that Mark and her mom, Naomi Stamm, couldn’t afford at the time. So Mark, a competitive trap shooter, went to a pawn shop and traded “an old 10-gauge shotgun” for a serviceable violin. “We all took piano, but I was the only one who would stick with it and practice,” Hilary recalls. “My parents were very supportive. A little girl learning violin has to be about the most nerve-wracking thing you can listen to.” It wasn’t long before the investments of time and money paid off, as Hilary spent most of her 20s touring the country with different bands. After briefly attending Dixie State College on a music scholarship (and dropping out because “I got sick of people telling me how to

play”) she started performing in informal venues, such as campfires, and something about that unleashed her creativity. “I had never thought outside the box before that,” Hilary says. She joined a heavy metal band, then started doing openmic performances, then joined a bluegrass band. At some point she caught a performance by Theresa Andersson, a folk/indie pop artist who uses a loop — a device that repeats a sample, either of voice or instrument — that allows a musician to layer their performance. Hilary saw a chance to become her own frontwoman and bought a loop, which she says is “like learning a separate instrument.” After practicing for over a year, she decided she was ready to debut, but it wasn’t easy: “That first show I don’t think I took a breath,” she recalls. Eventually she got the hang of it, and for performances now she hauls her guitar, violin, cello, mandolin, two separate loop stations, delay pedal, phaser, volume pedal, box switch, tuner and octaver. She may be a solo performer, but she can’t pack light. Her musical tastes are as varied as her equipment

— “I play a little of everything but polka” — and on a recent evening at Caffe Ibis she covered songs by Bob Marley, Death Cab for Cutie and Passion Pit. Hilary, who resists being pigeon-holed into a single genre, also writes a lot of her own songs, and says she is “constantly finding inspiration.” With her new, one-womanband style, a given song might start with Hilary beat-boxing into the mic until she finds a rhythm she likes, and catching that on a loop. Then she might catch a riff from the guitar on the other loop, and once those two loops are coordinated, she’ll pick up the violin and start singing. Many times she’ll even harmonize with herself, adjusting volume dials with her toes (she performs barefoot) while clutching a guitar in her right hand and her violin and bow in her left. Any one of those talents would be impressive, but add them together and it’s nothing short of amazing. “Hilary is just so unique in her style,” says Holly Conger, who coordinates performances for Caffe Ibis. “The way she uses layers of music to create this big sound, you can’t just walk away,

you have to stop and listen.” Looping is gradually catching on around the country, Hilary says, and she has developed a following in the Logan area even though “this is pretty new to Cache Valley for sure. A lot of people don’t understand what I’m doing, but Cache Valley has really embraced me.” Although music is no longer her primary source of income, her CD keeps selling out locally, and Hilary still tours — this week and next she’ll be playing in Colorado — in addition to working as a barrista at the Ibis. She also teaches snowboarding at Beaver Mountain and recently got engaged to Nick Kiely, so she’d like to settle down and stay close to home. She practices her music 10 hours a week, “always trying to grow and learn more and improve,” she says, and she’s come to enjoy life without a band. See HILARY on p. 12

Local Folk band to play at Crumb Brothers

HE NEXT CRUMB Brothers Bakery concert features an up-and-coming trio, The New Folk Revival, on Saturday Feb. 26, at 7:30 p.m. at Crumb Brothers Bakery, 291 S. 300 West in Logan. New Folk Revival features Pat Lambert on guitar and lead vocals, Eric Wagner on various instruments and lead vocals, and Joe Farmer on bass and harmony vocals. The band began with Lambert and Wagner in early 2010, with Farmer adding the bass note in the fall of 2010. While the band is new, the members have more than 50 years of combined musical experi-

Historian’s lecture opens Utah State Founder’s Day

ence behind them. As the band name implies, the band plays mostly folk music, including some originals and other tunes from the Celtic and American folk music repertoire. Influences include Nancy Griffith, Emmy Lou Harris, Kate Wolf, Gillian Welch, Bill Staines, and Adrianne Young. With a variety of songs both new and old, the band presents these with rich vocal harmony, a dash of humor, and tasteful instrumentation. Lambert began playing guitar as a child. Over the years she has played solo for a wide variety of events and church gatherings.

Farmer has been performing for more than 35 years, playing guitar, mandolin, and bass. He played with Wagner and others in the Down Home Band for 13 years, a band which played regularly for Logan’s Summerfest Art Fair and Festival of the American West. Wagner is a singer and multiinstrumentalist, playing guitar, harmonica, violin, and cittern. He began performing in 1985 with the band County Line in Moscow, Idaho. Tickets are $13 and are available by calling 757-3468. Seating is very limited, so advance purchase is recommended.

WARD-WINNING historian Jared Farmer will kick off Founder’s Day events at Utah State University with his talk “Possessed by the Past,” at the David B. Haight Alumni House March 4. Farmer is the featured guest for the College of Humanities and Social Sciences’ Distinguished Alumni Speaker Series. “My education at Utah State University changed my life and shaped my career as a history professor,” Farmer said. “I will share my thoughts on the value of a history education for everyone, not just historians.” Farmer, a native of Provo, graduated from USU in 1996 and earned his doctorate at Stanford University. He now serves on the faculty of the State University of New York at Stony Brook, specializing in environmental history and the history of the American West. He has published two books, including “On Zion’s Mount: Mormons, Indians, and the American Landscape,” which received the 2009 Francis Parkman Prize from the the Society of American Historians — an honor awarded to the best book in American history each year. His third book, “Trees in Paradise: A California History” is forthcoming from W.W. Norton & Company, Inc. “Jared’s intellectual work

revolves around places and the different meanings people give those places over time,” said USU history professor David Rich Lewis. “As a native Utahan, he embraces this place and people, telling our collective history in the most complex yet personal way. He’s one of the most analytical people I’ve ever known, but also one of the most engaging storytellers. I expect his presentation to contain good doses of both.” Farmer made a good impression early on with the faculty of the USU history department. As an undergraduate he interned with the “Western Historical Quarterly” and began writing his first book. “I think he knew, and I found out before he graduated, that he was going to be a historian of the West and environment and Utah,” Rich Lewis said. “I think we all sensed greatness in this most unusual individual.” The College of Humanities and Social Sciences welcomes prominent alumni back to campus throughout the year to discuss their career trajectories and emerging issues in their fields. Talks are open to all. Students in the college are encouraged to meet these distinguished alumni and learn how their education at USU prepared them for the future.

Theater

‘127 Hours’ director turns to the stage By The Associated Press

ANNY BOYLE MADE the world root for a Mumbai street urchin in “Slumdog Millionaire,” made James Franco sweat as a climber trapped in a Utah canyon for “127 Hours.” Then for his next trick, he made a monster. The Academy Award-winning director returns to the British stage after 15 years with “Frankenstein,” a new adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Gothic chiller about a scientist who builds himself a man, with tragic consequences for himself and his creation. The show opens Tuesday at London’s National Theatre and its run is already sold out. In part, that’s due to anticipation about what the visually inventive Boyle — working with longtime design collaborator Mark Tildesley — will pull off. It’s also a product of the high-profile casting of Benedict Cumberbatch — a rising star recently seen as the dashing Baker Street detective in the BBC’s TV series “Sherlock” — and Jonny Lee Miller, star of Boyle’s “Trainspotting,” and a regular on TV series “Eli Stone” and “Dexter.” The two actors alternate the roles of Victor Frankenstein and his creation — a decision that plays up the idea that the scientist and the monster are mirror

Hilary Continued from p. 8 “I can play the songs I want and not play the songs I don’t like,” Hilary says, adding that she doesn’t miss the complications and drama of organizing rehearsals and performances for a group with different personalities and agendas. “I have a lot more freedom in what I do,

AP photo

In this photo taken Jan. 25, playwriter Nick Dear poses for a portrait outside Britain’s National Theatre on River Thames’ South Bank ahead of the theatre’s new production of Frankenstein, in London. “We’re not just looking at scaring people with a monster,” said Dear, who has tried to remain more faithful to Shelley’s 1818 novel than most previous adaptations. The play avoids the Mword. The character is called The Creature, the term most often used in the book.

images, two halves of a flawed human whole. Playwright Nick Dear said the casting of two notably handsome actors also helps ensure that “no one is expecting the eight-foot freak” with bolts in its head. “We’re not just looking at scaring people with a monster,” said Dear, who has tried to remain more faithful to Shelley’s 1818 novel than most previous adaptations. The play avoids the M-word — the character is

called The Creature, Shelley’s preferred term. “What we’re really looking at is the relationship between the scientist and his experiment,” Dear said. “Dr. Frankenstein tries to create this thing in his own image, and he gets it wrong.” Audiences elsewhere in Britain, Europe and the United States can see the play when it is broadcast in movie theaters as part of the National Theatre Live

which is awesome.” The violin is still her favorite instrument — her original violin long since having been replaced by a custom-made instrument — although she has come to “really love the cello,” and she’s resigned to buying other instruments in the future. “I think I’m always going to stay in the poor house because I’m always finding new stuff I like,” she says with a chuckle.

She particularly enjoys entertaining children, who are fascinated by her equipment and the lively nature of her shows. Although she doesn’t rely on her music to make a living anymore, it’s definitely a lifestyle, one she doesn’t plan to give up soon. “I keep on getting positive reinforcement,” she says. “So I’ll keep going until that stops, and then I’ll reconsider.”

series. The theater plans to broadcast performances on March 17 and 24 — one with Cumberbatch as the Creature, the second with Miller in that role. “Frankenstein” has been adapted countless times — from the black-and-white 1930s classic starring Boris Karloff to the schlocky Hammer Horror flicks of the 1950s and Kenneth Branagh’s lavish 1994 movie version, which starred Robert De Niro as the Creature. Some of the images are so familiar they border on cliche: The mad scientist amid steaming potions and sparking machines in his lab; the brute, horrible creature rejected by his creator, wreaking havoc as he searches for love. Dear — who first discussed adapting “Frankenstein” with

Boyle when they worked together at the Royal Shakespeare Company 20 years ago — says he has tried to steer clear of cliche. And Boyle and his team have looked for a new visual language for the story. This is no dark, Gothic world of shadows and mist. Tildesley, who worked on Boyle’s films “Millions,” ‘’Sunshine” and “28 Days Later,” has lit the stage with 3,500 light bulbs and swathed the 1,100-seat auditorium in bandages. Tildesley said he wants the audience to feel the heat and the light that bring the Creature to life. “We really didn’t want to do that whole horror thing of black,” Tildesley said. “We have this big white stage, this intense light.

‘Blind Side’ star pens autobiography By The Associated Press

F THE MANY WELLchronicled challenges Michael Oher has overcome in his young life, the task of writing an autobiography has to be the most strange: How do you tell your own story after it’s been seen on the big screen in an Oscar-winning-film? In “I Beat the Odds,” Oher, with a capable assist from author and former Sports Illustrated associate editor Don Yaeger, mostly succeeds in his stated goal of going beyond “The Blind Side,” a best-selling book by Michael Lewis and then a box-office smash starring Sandra Bullock. While there’s some inevitable retread here — Lewis is, after all, one of the finest journalists of his generation — there’s much to be gained from hearing the story straight

from the man dubbed “Big Mike.” His own voice is matter-of-fact, both hopeful and a touch melancholy. His experience growing up poor in Memphis, Tenn., was, if anything, more harrowing than it was portrayed in the film. He saw a baby shot by a stray bullet, struggled to find meals, and his mother’s onagain, off-again relationship with drugs nearly prevented

him from reaching his potential. “My mother did her best,” Oher writes. “I have to give her that much. When she was sober, she worked hard to give us a good home and look after us. The problem was that she was not sober very much.” There are other interesting rejoinders to Hollywood’s version of Oher’s life. He was not, as portrayed, an untrained rube on the football field; he was already quite good. Photos in the book show that while Bullock might have been a deadringer for Oher’s adoptive mother, Leigh Anne Tuohy, Tim McGraw was a flattering choice to play Sean Tuohy, Oher’s adoptive father. And so on. In telling his side of “The Blind Side,” Oher’s prose is not always as purple as his No. 74 Baltimore Ravens jersey. One chapter begins with

a stretched reference to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. That said, the sports biography genre is not one particularly well-known for its literary pizazz. This book also moves along at a brisker pace than your average NFL game. Where “Odds” succeeds most is in going beyond what we have seen — overglossed as it may have been — and into an assessment of life

after your life story is put on the big screen. What Oher describes is a strange, disorienting experience for a man already living the typically surreal existence of a professional football player. Oher is genuinely awed by the impact of his story. He is baffled at how it makes some people teary. But he also obviously takes pride in the effect telling his story has had on others.

‘Georgia Bottoms’ filled with colorful characters By The Associated Press

BAWDY COMIC NOVEL steeped in Deep South stereotypes, “Georgia Bottoms” covers a lot of familiar territory: philandering preachers, mixed-race romance, a befuddled old racist white woman (she’s called “Little Mama”) and a ne’er-do-well brother (he’s called “Brother”). There are also the pillars of the community — the bank president, the publisher, the doctor and the sheriff — whose lives are built on sand. Each gets a night of the week for creative sport in bed with Georgia. Georgia Bottoms is our heroine, and the novel lives mostly in her marvelously goodhearted but teeming and scheming mind. She lives in a rural Alabama town called Six Points, where the once prosperous family name was Butts but got changed to Bottoms as finances went South, so to speak. This is a well-traveled Southern literary landscape drawn for comic effect. Childress, whose previous novels include “One Mississippi” and “Crazy in Alabama,” knows his way around. Scenes and whole sections are skillfully crafted, memorable and amusing, but some can be tedious, or just not all

that funny. The preparations for Georgia’s famous annual luncheon for the ladies of the community, for example, spares no detail on decor and menu, then it turns out to be spectacularly ill-timed — it’s Sept. 11, 2001 — and few show up. But Georgia, goodlooking and devious, is a compelling character who keeps the narrative alive with her survival skills. And her moral compass, which swings wildly. She cannot help herself when she first takes stock of the new Baptist preacher in town, Brent Colgate: “Shiny blond movie-star hair combed up off his forehead in an old-fashioned Cary Grant wave. ... An honest to God dimple in his chin, a face chiseled like the men in those old-fashioned ads for Arrow shirts.” He has just gotten out of his beat-up blue Chrysler, and you know this will not end well. Or maybe Georgia can figure a way out.
