FROM THE EDITOR In case you missed it, Slim Whitman passed away on Wednesday. Admittedly, I was actually surprised to find out that the singer/yodeler was still alive through Tuesday. Perhaps that’s because a false internet rumor about his death was circulated around in 2008. Unfortunately, because of the sudden death of “Sopranos” star James Gandolfini on the same day, Whitman’s fake passing five years ago probably got more attention than his actual death. Whitman was 90 years old, which means
when I mentioned to friends and co-workers that he had passed, about 90 percent of them didn’t know who I was talking about. In truth, the only song of his I can remember of the top of my head is his version of “Red River Valley,” and I’m much too young to remember when his biggest hit, “Rose Marie,” hit the charts in 1955. I was, however, introduced to Slim Whitman’s body of work when I was a kid. Back in 1979, he was featured on a commercial for a greatest hits package titled “All My Best” that seemingly ran four or five times an hour on every TV station. That record ended up selling nearly 1.5 million copies, allegedly setting a record for a record sold on television. While that made Slim a star of sorts,
the man was pretty much forgotten by most of America until 1996 when the film “Mars Attacks!” was released. In that starstudded movie, the world is in danger of being taken over by little green men until (spoiler alert!), it’s accidentally discovered that the music of Slim Whitman (“Indian Love Call” to be precise) causes Martian heads to ... well ... explode. In other words, Slim Whitman saved the world from aliens, which, even if it was only in a movie, I think it still makes his passing worth noting. I would play “Indian Love Call” in tribute, but I don’t want to inadvertently bring about the demise of any of my more unusual-looking colleagues.

Building a blockbuster
Pitt takes aim at making a better summer movie NEW YORK (AP) — Brad Pitt wanted to build a better blockbuster. During the years Hollywood shifted toward increasingly bigger spectacles and superhero tentpoles, one of the movies’ biggest stars largely stayed on the sidelines, focusing instead on ambitious ensembles (“The Tree of Life,” ‘’Inglourious Basterds”) and unlikely dramas (“Moneyball”). But the zombie apocalypse “World War Z,” which opens Friday, is Pitt’s bold, long-gestating, big-budget effort to enter the franchise fray. It’s his attempt to engineer not just a disaster thrill ride like 1974’s “The Towering Inferno” (a beloved film to Pitt, who saw it repeatedly as a kid growing up in Missouri), but to make a thought-provoking action flick filled with geopolitical questions. It’s been a humbling crusade. “These films are much more difficult than I realized,” Pitt said in a recent interview over coffee at a restaurant off Times Square. Based on the 2006 sci-fi novel “World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War” by Max Brooks (son of Mel), the $200 million-plus film has had a rocky path to theaters. It’s gone through a swarm of screenwriters, several key crew changes, a postponed release date and, most notably, a reshot ending.

all mixed up Old Lyric takes on ‘Drowsy Chaperone’ A musical within a comedy, “The Drowsy Chaperone,” opens Thursday, June 27, at the historic Caine Lyric Theatre as part of the Old Lyric Repertory Company’s 2013 summer season. “When I first saw this show, I knew it would be a perfect production for the Lyric,” says Dennis Hassan, artistic director of the OLRC and professor in the Caine College of the Arts. “It celebrates good, old-fashioned, musical fun with big tap numbers, funny characters and classic romance.” The story — or plot — begins when a diehard musical theater fan plays his favorite cast album on his turntable and the musical literally bursts into life in his apartment. The show is a rambunctious tale of flappers, gangsters, divas and Latin lovers. “This show has an incredibly clever script with a fresh approach to old traditions,” says Jim Christian, director

The glamour and gold of the ’70s are back for this year’s Independence Day celebration in Logan that features “The Music of ABBA” performed by Arrival from Sweden July 3 at Romney Stadium on the campus of Utah State University. The act is a part of Freedom Fire, northern Utah’s annual holiday presentation. Formed in 1971, ABBA left behind a music legacy that gave birth to the award-winning Broadway hit “Mamma Mia! The Musical” which, in turn, led to the film starring Academy Award-winning actors Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan. The band sold more than 370 million records and is one of the top-selling bands of all time. “This is an exciting star-spangled event with the music of ABBA performed by Arrival from Sweden,” says Russ Akina, Logan City parks and recreation director. Since 1995, Arrival from Sweden has toured more than 50 nations and appeared on TV and radio around the world. The group was given an unreleased song from ABBA to perform and also has exclusive permission to copy the original costumes. Tickets for Freedom Fire are on sale now and start at $10. Groups of six or more will receive 15 percent off their tickets if purchased together. Gates open at 6 p.m. July 3: the pre-show begins at 7 p.m. and “The Music of ABBA” starts at 8 p.m., followed by fireworks.

Pitt and his zombies entertain in ‘WWZ’ By Aaron Peck Cache Movie critic
If you’ve read Max Brooks’ novel “World War Z,” you know that it isn’t your typical zombie killin’ story. Brooks’ book explores the intricacies of worldwide epidemic, the cross-cultural geopoliticking that would take place, and the way certain groups of people would likely react in the case of a large-scale zombie threat. You’d also know that the way the novel is structured — a series of interviews conducted a dozen or so years after the zombie war was won — likely couldn’t be filmed in a traditional manner. Certainly not in such a way that a summer blockbuster audience, thirsting for action-centric big-budget movies, would respond to. A compromise was made that works surprisingly well. Instead of being set years after the conflict, we come in right at the beginning of the outbreak. We’re quickly,

The trailers for “World War Z” make it look like a movie in which Brad Pitt spends nearly two hours running away from and killing zombies.

Zombie fans will likely bemoan that there isn’t enough zombie carnage. The more heads that explode the more they cheer. Those people should probably stick to “The Walking Dead.” “World War Z” is much more concerned with the global response of such an outbreak, and the steps that might be taken to stop it. Much like the interviewing protagonist in Brooks’ novel, Gerry meets new people in every locale he visits. He gleans bits of information here and there until he’s able to piece together a seemingly elaborate, but alarmingly simple puzzle.

After the utter disappointment that was “Cars 2” — which, incidentally, made big bucks at the box office — the idea of Pixar heading back into sequel territory was a nerve-wracking proposition. I guess when you have so many original ideas that are ripe for franchising, the sequel machine is going to start up sooner or later. Although, this is Pixar we’re talking about. They made three gloriously cinematic, heartfelt films with the “Toy Story” franchise, so there’s a good possibility that they’ll be able to create the same magic with beloved characters Mike Wazowski (voiced by Billy Crystal) and James P. “Sulley” Sullivan (John Goodman). “Monsters University” is a prequel to “Monsters Inc.” Before Mike and Sulley’s infamous run-in with a cute little girl named Boo, they had to go to school. The movie picks up with Mike as a tiny, one-eyed toddler obsessed with becoming a “scarer” — a monster who sneaks into the rooms of children at night and harvests

A future in the past
nderneath one white roof in a makeshift tent city, a woman ducks out from underneath a 19th-century camera while one of her friends works from within a red, fully enclosed, dome-like tent nearby, dipping a thin metal plate in various chemicals. Some time later, a Civil War-eralike image appears on the shiny mineral face, now a finished work of art. Sylvia Weston and April Hay are two photographers who took different paths to realize their mutual love of photography: Hay earned a bachelor’s degree in photography twenty-something years ago, while Weston is a top student in Utah State University’s graphic design program. But both shared their appreciation for collodion photography last week at the Summerfest Art Faire. Erroneously nicknamed tintype photography in the 1800s for the iron or aluminum plates the one-ofa-kind pictures are developed on, the outdated-to-some method is a favorite of both Hay and Weston. “I had always admired the look of the 19th-century photographic process,” Hay says. “I was pretty excited to hear that there was an opportunity right here in Logan to learn the process.” While Hay moved to Logan from Kansas about a decade ago, Weston grew up in Laketown, Utah, where she turned to graphic design when she decided photography wouldn’t be a viable career in which to support herself. But a pair of department heads at USU persuaded her to choose both after a photography-oriented study abroad. It wasn’t a difficult sale. “I don’t want to be in a cubicle or an office,” Weston says. “I want to be out with people, and I want to be just actively out there doing things. I want to do photography really bad, so I’m just trying to find ways to do things

$3,000 to $4,000 just to get started, but added it’s not nearly as expensive later on — between $10 and $25 every time she pushes the capture button.
Tintypes are a way to express creativity in a market saturated by digital photography aided by computer-editing software. “The average person can’t tell the difference between what that photographer is doing and what someone who is really experienced and understands their camera is doing,” Weston says. “In this digital age, there’s a big difference between people that understand photography and know how to use their camera, and people that just get Photoshop.” Hay says she doesn’t own a “fancy” digital camera, just old Nikon film cameras and a point-and-shoot, and that she likes film production more, anyway. “We both have an appreciation for 19th-century photographic process,” Hay says of herself and Weston. “And we’re both hoping that the public responds to it and maybe, just maybe, we can both make a living.” But at the same time, Weston isn’t worried about the competition because she’s found ways to differentiate her work — like tintypes. “What I’m doing can’t really be reproduced digitally,” she says. Hay says the unique flavor of the tintypes is just one thing she favors about the style. “There’s no computer involved,” Hay says. “You’re creating a one-of-akind piece of art, the only one on the planet.” Weston says she is amazed and awestruck every time she makes a photographical discovery about the way light bounces off her subjects. “I’m really inspired by the way light shapes things and then being able to see the way that the machine, the camera interprets that,” Weston says, “whether that’s digital or film or like an old 19th-century process.” “When it’s good,” she adds, “it’s just the best feeling when you realize it’s all coming together.”
The Old Lyric Repertory Company delivered another heavy dose of nostalgia on Thursday, June 14, during the premiere of its second production of the 2013 season, the Neil Simon classic “The Odd Couple.” As everybody knows, this comedic clash of male stereotypes explores the social mayhem that results when neat-freak Felix Ungar moves in with his friend Oscar Madison, a slob of epic proportions. Under the capable direction of Richie Call, the OLRC production seems to suggest that relationships were no easier 50 years ago, even when it was normal to be politically incorrect, sexist and non-green. William Grey Warren and Lego Louis play Felix and Oscar with wild gusto. Even for Old Lyric veterans and accomplished performers, their portrayals are noteworthy in terms

The production will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Sky View High School Auditorium in Smithfield. Visit fourseasonstheatre. org or call 752-4835 to reserve your tickets. “Footloose, the Musi-
cal” is the story of a Chicago city kid, Ren McCormack (Danny Rash) transplanted with his mother (Cathy Neeley) to the small town of Bomont. The town is still scarred by a fatal accident that killed four of Bomont’s brightest youth five years earlier. In an effort to avoid having history ever repeat itself, the town, led by Reverend Shaw Moore (Scott Hunsaker), bans and strictly prohibits rock music and dancing of any kind. Moore’s daughter, Ariel (Hillary Peterson), struggles to break free of the confines of the town and befriends the new move-in, Ren, who starts a revolution among the other teens to change the town’s laws.
Anne Continued from Page 4 productions, including the recent “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” and “Les Miserables: the School Edition,” in addition to many other productions over the years. “This production is so true to the depth and feel of the story,” asserted David Sidwell, director of the production. The music and dancing seem to fit naturally with the story and with Anne and Avolea’s personality, he explained. Avonlea is the fictional town on Prince Edward Island where the story takes place. “When I first read the book, I found I had kind of a crush on Anne,” Sidwell added. “She was so full of life and joy and energy — I think it influenced who I married later on.” Anne Shirley is certainly one of the world’s favorite fictional characters, appearing in numerous “100 favorite fictional characters” lists. She was recently described as “feisty, funny and, above all, passionate” by renowned publisher Lenni Goodings.
Miranda O’Very, a 15-year-old natural redhead from Providence, plays the role. Her red hair, freckles and thin figure may have helped in the casting of the role, but her spunky personality, talented singing voice and acting skills solidified it for the casting personnel. “I love how free-spirited Anne is,” O’Very explained. “She can lose herself in her imagination and she doesn’t care much what people think. I think I’m like Anne in that respect.” \When asked about differences between herself and Anne, Miranda explained, “Anne has the ability to be alone, while I kind of need to be with friends all around me. But we’re very similar. I love her.” Other cast members include Chris Rasmussen, a band leader for the Logan School District, as Matthew; Marianne Sidwell, a former director for Cache Children’s Choir, as Marilla; Karen Teuscher, a music and choir director for SkyView High School, as the store owner Lucilla; Afton Lovell, a music teacher and stage veteran from Smithfield, as Miss Stacey, and many others.

Books ‘The Heist’ is a good summer read By Jeff Ayers Associated Press
Janet Evanovich, creator of the popular novels featuring bounty hunter Stephanie Plum, teams up with Lee Goldberg, writer for the TV series and books featuring Adrian Monk, the detective with obsessive-compulsive disorder, for “The Heist.” FBI Agent Kate O’Hare has been chas- thinks she finally has the ing the same criminal opportunity to capture for some time, and she him for good. Con man
Pitt
and master thief Nicolas Fox knows O’Hare is on his trail, but figures he will be able to escape at the last possible moment. It fuels his ego, and keeps her engaged in the chase. Plus, she’s attractive. O’Hare gets a bit swoony around Fox as well. Circumstances and orders from O’Hare’s boss create a situation both she and Fox thought they would never see. Now they are working together to catch bigger fish. With
her FBI training, and his ability to pull a con job, the two of them team up with several others including an actor, a mechanic and a pilot, to pull off a “Mission: Impossible-The A-Team” style operation. “The Heist” is the perfect title to carry on a trip to the beach. The laugh out loud humor that readers expect from Evanovich is in full force, and Goldberg’s crafty and elaborate writing is prominent.

New Superman film tops last week’s box-office list
LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Man of Steel” leaped over box office expectations in a single weekend. The Warner Bros. superhero film earned $113 million in its opening weekend at the box office, according to studio estimates Sunday. The retelling of Superman’s backstory earned an additional $12 million from Thursday screenings, bringing its domestic total to $125 million. Original box-office expectations for “Man of Steel” ranged from $75 million to $130 million. “They finally got the Superman formula right,” said Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com. “Superhero movies really are the bread and butter of the summer box office. The fact that ‘Iron Man 3’ has the biggest opening of the year so far and ‘Man of Steel’ has the second biggest opening of the year just proves that.” “Man of Steel,” which stars Henry Cavill as Superman and Amy Adams as Lois Lane, also nabbed the record for June’s biggest opening away from “Toy Story 3,” the Disney-Pixar film which banked $110.3 million when it opened in 2010. “Superman Returns,” the previous Superman film starring Brandon Routh in the titular role,

I think we’d all rather Pixar continue to think outside the box and come up with new, innovative stories, characters and worlds. Yet, if they’re going to stick to making regular sequels (“Finding Dory” is already on its way) and prequels, then the “Monsters” franchise is a great one to utilize.

Using these personal touches makes the movie that much more of an intimate experience, which in turn makes the action scenes that much more effective. “World War Z” is a smartly paced, effectively creepy thriller that uses its CGI-enhanced action scenes to help build its story instead of simply buttressing it. Even though the movie went through rewrites, reshoots and rescheduling, the end product was worth it. It’s one of the smartest, most satisfying movies the summer of 2013 has to offer.
Your Stuff “My Angel, My Friend”
“Bullies”
By Terri Barnes
By William Humphrey
I came to See you today. It’s been a year Since you went away
You have always been Like a sister to me So close, so close That’s the way it should be
Bullies intimidate, That is their goal. They’re spiritually retarded, With a demon soul.
If they were not cowards, They would try someone tough. The lesson they would learn, Strength alone is not enough.
I see the wind Blow through the trees I feel your spirit In the breeze
I thank God And his divine power That he let you Be with me at this hour
To frighten others, Is their stock in trade. They never do good, It’s how they are made.
How long they will be around, One can never tell. But when their time is up, Bullies will go to hell.
It’s almost as if You were still here I feel your touch And I have no fear
To comfort me In all I do My angel, my friend My sweet, sweet Sue
They never pick on anyone, Their own size. To scare someone smaller, Is what they prize.
