FROM THE EDITOR

M

y grandma and I are best friends. For a short time my family lived with her and my grandpa while we were looking for a new house, and it was during those six months that we made one of our favorite memories. I was 8 years old and for a few days I came down with a really bad cough that caused me to be up all night, and made going to school impossible. It was a long couple of days, but while my parents and brothers were at work and school, my grandma and I got through

it by drinking Squeez-Its and playing Monopoly. There was a day in there we played for four hours, both of us just moving our pieces around the board and losing money when we landed on the other’s Boardwalk or Pennsylvania Avenue. We must have been pretty evenly matched, and not buying a lot of houses or hotels, because the game actually never ended; my grandma just got sick of it and made us put it away. Let’s face it, four hours at a table doing nothing but rolling dice and exchanging fake cash gets old. To this day, my grandma and I still joke about it, she says she will NEVER play Monopoly with me — or anyone else — ever again. My grandma used to be the one I would

call when I was home alone and scared, and she’s the only one in my family that knows everything about my dating life. She’s spunky and bright, loves her Coke, sports and cheese puffs. I know I’ve been lucky to be close to her all these years. The main feature in Cache this week tells the story of a grandfather and his close relationship with his son and grandson through theater (among other things, I’m sure). At age 83 W. Vosco Call will be directing “The Lion in Winter” which stars his posterity (page 8) and runs next week. It’s a story of what family can do together that goes way beyond Monopoly. — Manette Newbold

Learn about American Indians at USU museum this weekend tah State UniU versity’s Museum of Anthropology continues its

summer series of activities with a presentation by another expert guest. Visiting scholar Liz Grobsmith, provost and vice president of academic affairs at Northern Arizona University, is the featured speaker Saturday, Aug. 13, at the museum. Grobsmith’s presentation highlights her work with incarcerated American Indians and explores topics that include traditional healing and religious freedom. The presentation begins at 1 p.m. at the museum. “Dr. Grobsmith is an inspiring example of how

anthropological knowledge can be applied to real problems today,” said Emily Baker, a member of the Saturdays at the Museum team. “The lecture topic illustrates the many challenges a cultural anthropologist needs to overcome in order to help others.” Throughout the day, the museum offers a display and activities for families about American Indian boarding schools, with a local focus on the boarding school in Brigham City. Community members, as well as Utah State students, can visit the museum during its operating hours, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Funding for the Saturday events is provided by a grant from the United States Institute of Museum and Library Services. More information about the IMLS is available online (www.imls.gov). The USU Museum of Anthropology is on the USU campus in the south turret of the historic Old Main building, Room 252. Admission is free. For Saturday activities, free parking is available in the adjacent lot, south of the building. For more information about this event, call museum staff at 435-7977545 or visit the museum website (anthromuseum. usu.edu).

Logan Youth Shakespeare at it again

pend a few minutes inside rehearsals for the upcoming S Logan Youth Shakespeare production of “King Henry IV, Part 1” and you'd be forgiven if you thought they were rehearsing a comedy.

Although the plot does trace the true story of England's hero king, Henry V, through his wild teen years, Shakespeare also chose this history play to introduce the fictional character who went on to be one of his most popular creations, the enormously witty Falstaff. Featuring political intrigue, comedy both deep and broad, and lots of action, the young actors of LYS bring Shakespeare's most popular history play to life on the Logan Arthouse stage, 795 N. Main St. With four performances: Friday, Aug. 19 at 6:30 p.m.; Saturday, Aug. 20 at 2 p.m.; Friday Aug. 26 at 6:30 p.m.; and Saturday Aug. 27 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $5 for adults, $3 for kids. No children under 5, please.

‘Apes’ is big, ridiculous summer fun By Christy Lemire The Associated Press

illy humans. S We’re so arrogant. We see a cute, cuddly

baby chimp, assign all kinds of familiar characteristics to it and raise it with the loving playfulness we’d give our own children, only to find that the creature’s unpredictable and ferocious animal nature wins out in the end. If the documentary “Project Nim” didn’t serve as enough of a warning for us earlier this summer, now we have the blockbuster “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” which is sort of a prequel and sort of a sequel and sort of a reboot. Mainly, it’s a spectacle. Except for a couple of cute nods to the 1968 Charlton Heston original, “Rise” pretty much functions as its own stand-alone entity. This seventh film in the “Planet of the Apes” series rises to such ridiculous heights, it’s impossible not to laugh out loud — in a good way, in appreciation. There’s big, eventmovie fun to be had here, amped up by some impressive special effects and typically immersive performance-capture work by Andy Serkis, best known as Gollum from the “Lord of the Rings” films. The idea that director Rupert Wyatt and writers Rick Jaffa and

★★ 1/2 “Rise of the Planet of the apes” Rated PG-13 Amanda Silver truly had anything serious in mind seems rather disingenuous. There’s a thin layer of philosophical substance draped over a muscular action picture. The third act makes that clear.

some of the new drug in him, which makes him a quick learner; since he’s clearly bound for great things, he’s given the name Caesar. As in “Project Nim” — and they would make a no-brainer of a double feature — Caesar grows big and strong, wears clothes, learns sign language and becomes part of the family. At the same time, Will has been testing out the new drug on his dad, who is also showing signs of improvement. Over the years, Will has fallen in love with the gorgeous

veterinarian who treated Caesar as a baby (Freida Pinto, who’s called on to look pretty and not much else). Everything’s humming along nicely. But, of course, since this is a CHIMP we’re talking about, things get out of hand and Caesar must be sent away. Thankfully, there’s a primate shelter nearby in San Bruno (what are the odds?). Serkis is so intense and committed to the role, you can’t help but feel some empathy for Caesar, for his frustration and confusion.

class act such A as “The Help” is rare enough in Hollywood.

Coming at the tail end of summer blockbuster season, it’s almost unheard of. “The Help” is the sort of film that studios typically save for the holiday prestige season in November or December, when Academy Awards voters start thinking ahead to the films they want to anoint. Come awards time, many of them likely will be thinking of “The Help,” whose remarkable ensemble of women offers enough great performances to practically fill the actress categories at the Oscars. From its roots as a collaboration between lifelong friends Kathryn Stockett, who wrote the best-selling novel, and Tate Taylor, the film’s writer-director, through the pitch-perfect casting of Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer and their co-stars, “The Help” simply seems to be blessed. It’s hard to imagine a better movie coming out of the screen adaptation of Stockett’s tale of friendship and common cause among black maids and an aspiring white writer in Jackson, Miss., in 1963. This is popular bigscreen entertainment at its best. Provocative without turning preachy, tender without tumbling into sentimentality, “The Help” is above all enormously enjoyable. That’s thanks to the rich characters Stockett created, to the marvelous empathy among the actresses portraying

them, and to the previously untested talent of filmmaker Taylor. He and Stockett grew up in Jackson, met in preschool at age 5 and have been friends ever since (another longtime friend from Jackson, Brunson Green, is one of the producers). They grew up in Jackson a decade or so after the novel’s events, but the deep sense of time and place Stockett presented on the page is preserved in the film. Taylor combines grandly detailed sets, costumes and hairdos with wellchosen music and a keen understanding of Deep South mindsets to create an authentic time capsule of an intransigent way of life eroding amid the civil-rights movement. The characters don’t fully realize the impact of the changes swirling around them, allowing viewers with half a cen-

★★★ 1/2 “The Help” Rated PG-13 tury’s cultural hindsight to live the events through these women’s eyes in a fresh and even profound way. With frizzy hair, formless, unpolished fashion sense, and an earnestness that feels born out of decency and large-mindedness, Stone is ideal as Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan, the Ole Miss graduate who comes home to Jackson dreaming of a writing career in New York. Advised by a Manhattan publisher to try something daring, Skeeter convinces Aibileen Clark (Davis) to share stories of her life as a black maid cleaning up after white people and raising their children.

Soon Aibileen’s friend, the outspoken Minny (Spencer), is confiding her experiences to Skeeter. As racial tension and violence erupts throughout the South, more maids step forward to join the writing circle and tell of the hardships, humiliations and occasional subversive triumphs they have experienced under their white employers. Stone, Davis and Spencer forge something quite beautiful, a sense of sisterhood and equality that unfolds with ease and grace, never feeling forced or untrue to their era and circumstances.

But this is a grand Hollywood rarity that’s all about women. If there’s a male star here, it’s filmmaker Taylor. Before “The Help,” Taylor was an actordirector with a handful of on-screen credits and a directing resume of only one short film and one low-budget indie feature. The idea that Taylor would have a chance to write and direct a property as hot as “The Help” was absurd. Yet without him, the book might never have been published.

Hollywood outdoes itself on ‘Help’

ou’ve probably heard the old cliché about people having theater in their blood. With the Call family, it’s hardly cliché. W. Vosco Call, founder of the Old Lyric Repertory Company, will direct a production of James Goldman’s “The Lion in Winter,” a two-act play based on the life of King Henry II of England. He’ll be directing both his son, Richard (Dick) Call, and his grandson, Richie Call, in the production, making the play a true family affair. “We wouldn’t be in it if we didn’t have a real passion for it,” Vosco says. “That’s the driving force, and it’s been a good career for me, and I hope it is for these boys too. ... It’s very nice to have the three of us working together.” People who regularly attend theater in Cache Valley should be very familiar with Vosco Call’s work, especially given that a large portion of his career has been attached to the Utah State University’s Caine Lyric Theatre. “I helped save it in the first place, restore it, helped to deal with the Thatcher family to donate it to the univer-

sity, so I go way back,” Vosco said. “Then I started the Repertory Company; I started that in 1967. So I’ve been intimately attached to the theater for some time. This’ll be the Rep’s 44th year, 44th or 45th, continuing a semi-professional theater program in Logan, alive and well.” Vosco Call went to Utah State straight out of the U.S. Army on the G.I. Bill, not certain of what he wanted to do. But it didn’t take long for him to get bitten by the theater bug. After earning degrees from Utah State, the University of Washington and the University of Minnesota, he worked professionally from New York to California and points in between. Then he returned to Utah State as a faculty member, overseeing a renaissance of the theater department and the acquisition of the Lyric Theatre. “From the time I was a student, it had come on very hard times,” Vosco said of the theater program. “And Floyd Morgan and I began developing and redeveloping an audience. That’s where all the effort was going, and when we really didn’t have a playhouse, [the Lyric Theatre] became it, before the Rep, back in ’61, when we were able to get this playhouse for the university. And

Y

ou’ve probably heard the old cliché about people having theater in their blood. With the Call family, it’s hardly cliché. W. Vosco Call, founder of the Old Lyric Repertory Company, will direct a production of James Goldman’s “The Lion in Winter,” a two-act play based on the life of King Henry II of England. He’ll be directing both his son, Richard (Dick) Call, and his grandson, Richie Call, in the production, making the play a true family affair. “We wouldn’t be in it if we didn’t have a real passion for it,” Vosco says. “That’s the driving force, and it’s been a good career for me, and I hope it is for these boys too. ... It’s very nice to have the three of us working together.” People who regularly attend theater in Cache Valley should be very familiar with Vosco Call’s work, especially given that a large portion of his career has been attached to the Utah State University’s Caine Lyric Theatre. “I helped save it in the first place, restore it, helped to deal with the Thatcher family to donate it to the univer-

sity, so I go way back,” Vosco said. “Then I started the Repertory Company; I started that in 1967. So I’ve been intimately attached to the theater for some time. This’ll be the Rep’s 44th year, 44th or 45th, continuing a semi-professional theater program in Logan, alive and well.” Vosco Call went to Utah State straight out of the U.S. Army on the G.I. Bill, not certain of what he wanted to do. But it didn’t take long for him to get bitten by the theater bug. After earning degrees from Utah State, the University of Washington and the University of Minnesota, he worked professionally from New York to California and points in between. Then he returned to Utah State as a faculty member, overseeing a renaissance of the theater department and the acquisition of the Lyric Theatre. “From the time I was a student, it had come on very hard times,” Vosco said of the theater program. “And Floyd Morgan and I began developing and redeveloping an audience. That’s where all the effort was going, and when we really didn’t have a playhouse, [the Lyric Theatre] became it, before the Rep, back in ’61, when we were able to get this playhouse for the university. And

Calls Continued from page 8 Richie Call got his graduate at Utah State and went on to Rutgers University. Afterward, he worked in New York and New Jersey before taking a faculty position at Utah State. He’s also worked outside the classroom since he’s been back to Utah. “I did ‘Hamlet’ down at Pioneer Theatre Company in the fall,” Richie said. “Over the summer I was in ‘Henry IV’ for the Salt Lake Shakespeare theater.” The Calls are happy to be working together to begin with, although it’s not technically the first project the three of them have collaborated on. “This is actually the second

“Well, it’s a play that if you mention to most thespians, we’re working on ‘Lion in Winter,’ you see a little amount of jealousy in their eyes, because it’s a great, great show for thespians to wrap their arms around,” Dick said. “Henry is a wonderful character. He really is. He has wonderful mood changes, and it’s a chess match. It’s playing against wits, and it’s just a lot of fun, a lot of history, a lot of comedy, a lot of well-placed manipulating. It’s just a great play to be involved in.” And while the mature subject matter of the play isn’t recommended for young people, there is a lot in the play that will appeal to modern audiences. “It’s a fantastic play,” Richie said. “I like going to see plays where I learn something and in an entertaining way. It’s kind of like a little history lesson that’s

fun. I think that’s exactly what this play is. Because of Disney, we know King Richard and the thumb-sucking Prince John; we know those characters. This is kind of an origins story that’s so prevalent in movies right now — the origin movies of comic book characters — and it’s kind of what it is for historical figures. You see Richard in his youth and John in his youth, and their father.” The play will run from Aug. 17 to 20 at 7:30 p.m. with a 2 p.m. matinee Aug. 20. Tickets are $10 for reserved seating and can be purchased at the Caine College of the Arts Box Office in room 139-B of the Chase Fine Arts Center on the USU campus, online at arts.usu.edu, or by phone at 435-797-8022.

Family ruined by Internet in ‘This Beautiful Life’ By Henry C. Jackson For The Associated Press

s much as the InterA net has become a fixture in our lives, we seem to just

be waking up to its darkest capabilities. The Web isn’t just a tool that makes the world interconnected and flat; it’s also something with a uniquely swift ability to destroy people. Author Helen Schulman serves up a searing example in her novel, “This Beautiful Life.” The Bergamots are near their apex: Richard, the patriarch, a handsome, distance running Ph.D., has recently landed a plum gig at a New York City university. His wife, Lizzie, a well-educated housewife, is excited to no longer be on the periphery of high society. Their still winsome teenage son, Jake, is settling in well enough at a private high school, while

Coco, the family’s baby, is making her own social inroads. Collectively, they’re a kind of a personification of the American Dream. But this is a ruse. The building up is done only so we can see the Bergamots crumble in a truly 21stcentury way. The night after Jake meets, and ultimately rejects, a young woman named Daisy at a party, she emails him a graphic video of herself. Flummoxed, Jake makes a terrible decision. He forwards the email to a trusted friend. That friend forwards it to a friend and so on. Within days, Daisy, and by proxy, Jake, are Internet sensations of the worst sort. This is a plot that, as the saying goes, is ripped from the headlines. Alerting the world to an ominous trend, though, isn’t really Schulman’s goal. Schulman is instead plumbing the human wreckage that follows

Review: ‘The Accident’ is a compelling thriller By Jeff Ayers For The Associated Press

husband is forced to A confront his wife’s secret life in “The Accident,” Linwood Barclay’s best thriller to date. When Glen Garber’s wife, Sheila, doesn’t arrive at home on time, he starts to panic. She doesn’t answer her cellphone, and she never arrived for a visit with her best friend. So he decides to look for her. Glen and his 8-year-old daughter follow the route that Sheila should have taken. They soon find a crash site with two

demolished vehicles. Police say Sheila was drunk when she parked at the edge of an offramp. Another car hit her vehicle, killing her and all but one of the passengers in the other automobile. As he struggles to rebuild his life, Glen realizes the questions about what happened that night will not leave his mind. His daughter becomes the target of bullying and wants to move or switch schools, and his friends begin acting strangely around him. Glen starts digging for the truth. What he begins to uncover will reveal an unexpected side of his wife and that their life together was a lie.

an Internet catastrophe. It’s a toll that lingers in the cache of people’s lives long after the audience of the Web has moved on to the next trending topic. In elegant but straightforward prose, Schulman charts the Bergamots as they come undone. She does so with a

sharp eye for detail while credibly switching voices. Her writing is just as plausible taking on the voice of a fretting housewife as when she ventures into the brain of a male teenager. The Bergamots believe they can weather the scandal. After Jake is suspended from school, dutiful Richard lawyers up. Lizzie wants to soothe Jake, thinking, with some logic, that her son is also a victim. Even as the parents try to clear the history — though no charges are pressed and Jake is readmitted to school — it’s obvious that nothing can be truly undone. When he returns to school, Jake is greeted alternatively as a scoundrel and an anti-hero, which at first horrifies him, then propels him into a clean break with his innocence and a steep, downward trajectory. Richard’s employers pull

him back from a public role, his first real professional failure. Lizzie is haunted. She watches Daisy’s video over and over a gain and wanders around the house in a stupor. Her fog only lifts for good when she sees Coco mimic the video’s lurid dance for her schoolmates, after she watched it when Lizzie forgot to close a window on her computer. A more spectral, but no less fascinating, presence is Daisy. We only see her viewpoint clearly once, years after the scandal. She alone seems to have moved on with something like success, but she is in many ways still a childlike presence. “Life” is part allegory, part character study. Nothing is as unstable as a family, particularly in a digital age. Though it is seriously melancholy — don’t expect real redemption for anyone — it is an artfully told and important story.
