Here, she describes a gracious president constantly faced with people wanting positions in the administra-

Finally rejected, the deranged Guiteau thought, “If the President was out of the way, every thing would go better.” At the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad station, Guiteau fired the gun he had carried for a month. A bullet broke two of Garfield’s ribs but didn’t hit a vital organ. The first doctor there probed the wound with an unsterilized finger, “almost certainly introducing an infection that was far more lethal than Guiteau’s bullet.” Guiteau went to the gallows. President Chester Arthur, a former Conkling associate, advocated civil service reform. Lister would be seen as “the greatest conqueror of disease.” And Bliss, who stubbornly insisted that Garfield died of a broken backbone, submitted a $25,000 bill to Congress. It was cut to $6,500.

Award-winning musical coming to Talladega’s Ritz By Brooke Nelson Special to The Star

Playwright James Harris heard voices. Real voices. Voices too compelling to ignore. Voices singing to him from their diaries, their journals, their letters. Voices last heard more than 150 years ago. The voices were of five individuals from the Civil War era, each insisting their story be told. Harris’ award-winning musical, Civil War Voices: The People and the Music that Shaped America, is being presented by the Virginia-based Barter Theatre touring company at 7:30 tonight at Talladega’s Historic Ritz Theatre. The catalyst for the story was derived from Harris’ great-greatuncle’s diaries, which Harris painstakingly transcribed from an almost illegible longhand script. Via phone interview, Harris said after years of research, he intertwined his relative’s memoirs with four other characters’ recollections from the time period, capturing the “real people, real songs and ultimately the real heart of a country divided.” The show is performed in the style of story theater, where 10 actors play multiple characters staying on stage for the entire production. The historically accurate presentation tells the stories of Joe Harris, the playwright’s uncle, a cotton planter in Lee County with a conflicted conscious; Elizabeth Keckley, who was born a slave, bought her freedom and became Mary Todd Lincoln’s closest friend and personal assistant in the White House; Theo and Harriet Perry, a young couple from Texas who were separated by the war; and Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, a college professor from Maine who enlisted to fight for the Union. “A lot of the action takes place not too far from Talladega,” said Harris. “It happened in Opelika, in your backyard.” Harris, an Alabama native who lives in Lincoln, Neb., is a practicing trial lawyer by profession; however, his love for musical theater is his avocation. Harris says while audiences have a general fascination for the Civil War period, the presentation is not just for Civil War buffs. According to feedback collected by the Barter Theatre, the play scores high with every demographic. Basically, there is something for everyone.

Civil War Voices: THE PEOPLE AND THE MUSIC THAT SHAPED AMERICA When: Tonight at 7:30 Where: Historic Ritz Theatre, 115 Court Square North, Talladega Price: $25 floor, $20 mezzanine Contact: 256-315-0000 or www.talladegaritz.com; For more information about the play, go to www.civilwarvoices.com Harris praises the show’s composer, Mark Hayes, who breathes his creative talent into the traditional music from the era, making it vibrantly alive again. “Mark’s music is lush; it just soars,” Harris said. Hayes is an accomplished composer, having scored more than 700 works. He recently won a prestigious Dove Award from the Gospel Music Association for “I’ve Just Seen Jesus.” He is a frequent conductor at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. When the touring company comes to Talladega, history will meet history. The Barter Theatre, which just celebrated its 78th anniversary, is one of the oldest professional nonprofit companies in the nation, and Talladega’s Ritz Theatre, circa 1936, is around the same vintage. Adding even more historical significance, Civil War Voices commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Civil War initiative. Civil War Voices’ poignant story offers a choral view of the United States at the time, representing the North and South — both sides of the conflict. But the story melds into one voice, a voice reflecting that they were all the same, experiencing the same struggles, fears, sacrifices and triumphs. “The play is constructed so that every character has its say, gives its own perspective,” said Harris. “At the end of the show, the audience will have a much better understanding of the emotional climate of the times. They will be entertained.” Brooke Nicholls Nelson is a freelance writer who lives with her husband and three sons in the foothills of Cheaha Mountain. Contact her at brookenelson@amcvets.com.

The World-Changer Steve Jobs knew what we wanted

Oct. 7-13, 2011

Celebrities share their thoughts, memories of Jobs Celebrities took to Twitter to share their thoughts about Steve Jobs' death Wednesday. A sampling of posts: "For those of us lucky enough to get to work with Steve, it's been an insanely great honor. I will miss Steve immensely." — Bill Gates. "Had the pleasure of working for him and knowing him. He was our Edison. R.I.P. Steve Jobs." — actor-writer-director Albert Brooks. "Rest in peace, Steve Jobs. You've changed forever the world you leave behind." — Katie Couric. "#RIP# SteveJobs, thank you for revolutionizing the way we listen to music. Your vision will not be forgotten." — The Grammys (Recording Academy).

Paul Sakuma/Associated Press

Apple CEO Steve Jobs introducing the iCloud at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco in June 2011. Jobs died Oct. 5 at the age of 56.

By Ted Anthony Associated Press

From his earliest days with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs was a half step ahead of the rest of us, innovating and inventing and creating and doggedly marketing it all by building a lifestyle around it. From Apple’s personal computers, he harnessed the new and repackaged the existing to create something fresh, something more. Beyond his measurable successes, though, Steve Jobs claims one spot in history above all others: He realized what we wanted before we understood it ourselves. We wanted easy to use. We wanted to lose ourselves in what our gadgets did. We wanted sleek, cool, streamlined — things that weren’t always associated with consumer electronics. We wanted the relationship between object fetish and functionality to be indistinguishable. We wanted to touch the future without seams that would yank us out of our communion with our machines. We wanted, in short, intricate simplicity. To Jobs, the above sentences might have been commandments. They were used to denounce — in a friendly manner, but always pointed — what Apple cast as the corporate,

bland chaos of the PC culture that IBM and Microsoft were creating. But the American inventor mystique — the notion that one guy armed with a combination of a good idea, hard work and challenging conditions can still change the world? That’s been a big seller since Eli Whitney and the cotton gin. When it comes to Jobs, comparisons are legion. Like Edison? A little, but not really; Edison didn’t understand the elegance of interfaces. Like Barnum, selling the sizzle? Except that Jobs had the steak, too. Perhaps more like broadcast pioneers David Sarnoff and Bill Paley, who realized they must harness the pipeline — the airwaves, in their case — so that the content could flow through. In a world of corporations and committees and consultation and collaboration, Jobs personified the power of the individual to effect an outcome — or at least the appearance of it. He was nothing if not cinematic. He projected his own image onto giant screens behind him as he rolled out product after product like some microchip Merlin. He was not merely a technologist; he was a stylemaker. Jobs “saw there was this personal quality to computing,” says Paul Levinson, author of Cellphone: The

Story of the World’s Most Mobile Medium and How It Has Transformed Everything. “The attractiveness of the product. They’re gleaming, beautiful objects that are physically attractive,” Levinson says. “iPods are almost worn as jewelry. Who would have imagined it would have been cool to see wires coming out of somebody’s ear?” For Jobs, it was about harnessing the here and now with devices that propelled you into the future — the one Star Trek and The Jetsons promised, where gadgetry lived alongside us without devaluing humans in the process. In the end, these things are true: a beige plastic cube with a gray screen and a slot in it changed computing. A tiny box that stored bits and bytes, helped along by a virtual store that sold digital files for 99 cents each, changed music. Another tiny one-button box that did hundreds of things changed phones and media. And a flat, paper-sized slate is still changing all of the above in ways we haven’t yet measured. Like his devices, Steve Jobs was a medium that led us to other destinations — the ones of our own choosing. That’s what made him different. He’s gone, but the future he saw is still, quite literally, in our hands.

THE QUIET ONE Photo courtsey of HBO

Scorsese documentary takes unvarnished look at late Beatle George Harrison ▶ GEORGE HARRISON: LIVING IN THE MATERIAL WORLD on HBO, Part 1, 8 p.m. Wednesday; Part 2, 8 p.m. Thursday

By Randy Lewis Los Angeles Times

hen Martin Scorsese and Olivia Harrison first sat down about five years ago to strategize about a documentary on the life of George Harrison, both quickly zeroed in on a letter the young Beatle wrote to his family at the height of Beatlemania. “It was a letter George had written when he was not more than 22,” Harrison said of the man to whom she was married for 23 years before his death a decade ago. “It was in 1965, and the Beatles would have been really cresting at that point. He was writing home and told his family, ‘I know that this isn’t it. I knew I was going to be famous, but now I know I can reach the real top of what man can achieve, which is self-realization.’ He knew then that (material reward) wasn’t it.” That letter figures into a pivotal moment in Scorsese’s film, “George Harrison: Living in the Material World,” which premieres on HBO over two nights Wednesday and Thursday to accommodate its 3 1/2-hour length. In the scene, George says how lucky the Beatles were to acquire so many of the material goods early on that most people spend their entire lives yearning for, because they learned relatively young how hollow such things ultimately ring. Olivia Harrison gave Scorsese and his team virtual carte blanche access to home movies, family photos, audio recordings and other items from her husband’s estate for use in the film, which paints a richly detailed and unvarnished picture of the man initially pigeonholed as “the quiet Beatle.”

A more accurate sobriquet might have been “the spiritual Beatle” to reflect the inward quest that seemed to capture Harrison early in a life in which he once famously said that his biggest break had been getting into the Beatles; his second biggest, getting out. In talking about the film, Olivia Harrison makes no bones about how emotional it’s been for her to see the many aspects of her husband’s life translated to the screen. “I thought I had this clear vision of what this story would look like on screen, but it’s nothing like how I imagined it would be,” she said, “even though it’s accurate and honest and truthful.” Even about uncomfortable topics such as Harrison’s 1974 solo tour that was savaged by many critics as well as its references to affairs he had after he married the former Olivia Arias, whom he met in 1974 when she was working for his Dark Horse Records. “Nobody asked me to bring up that subject,” she said, “it just came up. It was really about being with someone who’s in that position. I’m certainly not the only one who’s been with somebody who’s charismatic. It’s a big diversion.” It’s also just a tiny part of the overall story, which begins with Harrison as a fairly happy child, born into a large Liverpool family amid World War II. It follows his ride to the pinnacle of pop culture as a member of the most popular and creatively influential band in the world, his exit when the group disbanded in 1970 and on through his subsequent musical, cinematic, spiritual and philanthropic endeavors, which

Scorsese covers, rough edges and all. “Left to me, (the documentary) would have had no edges,” Olivia Harrison said. “I really had to let go of that. Marty crafted it that way, and (their son) Dhani was also very helpful. He told me, ‘You have to have the good and the bad, the black and the white; you can’t just have it all nice.’ ... It took a lot of getting used to. I had to see it several times before I could look at it and not wince. It is brutally honest.” It’s also — Olivia Harrison, exceedingly George’s widow admiring of a singer, songwriter and instrumentalist who for much of his career lived in the estimable shadows of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. In one of the most charming moments of the film, Harrison, the youngest Beatle, talks about writing his first song, “Don’t Bother Me,” from the group’s 1963 album “With the Beatles.” He summed it up as “an exercise. It’s not a particularly great song.” He simply felt at the time that “If John and Paul could

“I had to see it several times before I could look at it and not wince.”

write, then anyone can. ... (It) showed me I just had to keep on writing and someday I’ll write something good.” Scorsese also addresses Harrison’s strong attraction to the classical music of India, which he explored extensively through his friendship with sitar master Ravi Shankar; the original rock music all-star benefit Concert for Bangla Desh that grew out of that relationship; his exploits in filmmaking through the Handmade Films company; and his latter-day role in the Traveling Wilburys supergroup. Harrison died of cancer on Nov. 29, 2001, at age 58. Harrison’s legacy will be explored further in an exhibition opening Oct. 11 at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, one that shares the title with Scorsese’s film and Olivia Harrison’s book. Olivia Harrison has loaned instruments, clothing Harrison wore onstage while touring with the Beatles and solo, original lyric sheets, letters, photos and other items for the display, billed as the first major exhibition focusing on Harrison as a Beatle and his life away from the group. “I’m a little nervous about it,” Olivia said. “Sitting by the front door right now is a huge road box full of guitars that are going out tomorrow. Letting these things out — it’s a big deal. “Then again,” she quickly added, a note of good-humored resignation creeping in over the worry, “George would say, ‘It’s only stuff.’”

Even with unpolished, Haggard shines By Michael Mccall Associated Press

Merle Haggard Working In Tennessee (Vanguard) During his six-decade career, Merle Haggard occasionally has released albums that sound tossed together, with less planning or depth than his monumental works. It is a testament to Haggard’s talent that even his trifles can be as entertaining, as is his new Working In Tennessee. Nothing here measures up to his classic Working Man Blues, which he re-records here as a duet with Willie Nelson. But after battling heart problems recently, he seems determined to enjoy himself. The title song represents Haggard at his loosest and most joyous. Closely mimicking his hero Bob Wills, he

captures all the sprightly joy of classic western swing, even if the lighthearted lyrics sound like he is creating them on the spot. Similarly, the rambling social commentary of “What I Hate” sounds as if he jotted it down 10 minutes before recording it, but it nonetheless reveals a legend’s active engagement in the world around him. On the other hand, one of the more polished tracks, “Under The Bridge,” suffers from sentimentalizing homelessness, despite its good intentions. CHECK OUT THIS TRACK: On the ballad “Sometimes I Dream,” Haggard describes a bleak psychological portrait of a man too burned out to try to repair a relationship — or to even feel much joy or sorrow. But he counters the depression with a chorus that says, every once in a while, he fantasizes that somehow he could love again.

McCreery shows promise and flaws on new CD By Michael Mccall Associated Press

Scotty McCreery, Clear As Day (19/ Interscope/Mercury) All American Idol winners face the challenge of finding original material that gives them a musical identity of their own, especially after spending a season in front of millions singing songs other people made famous. Reigning Idol champ Scotty McCreery faces an even tougher challenge because he’s so young (about to turn 18 as the album is released) and free of the com-

plexities that make artists compelling. This talent shows on “Love You This Big,” his debut hit introduced on Idol. He sounds like he’s quietly singing the lyrics to one person, even as crowds raise their hands and sing along. This ability to quietly express emotion also comes across on the album’s title cut, “Clear As Day,” based on young love blossoming in a parking lot after a football game. Clear As Day isn’t a disappointment,

but neither is it the kind of remarkable debut that established recent country stars like Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum — or, more to the point, former Idol winner Carrie Underwood. CHECK OUT THIS TRACK: McCreery spends too much of Clear As Day trying to make statements about country lifestyles. His best song, “Write Your Number On My Hand,” lightens up and celebrates making the best of a casual day. Set to a jaunty ukulele and a shuffle rhythm, it lets McCreery show off the flexible side of his voice in this sunny song.

Clooney, Gosling make perfect pair in ‘Ides of March’ By Roger Moore The Orlando Sentinel

Stephen Myers knows his boss’s talking points so well he can stand in for him, reciting them as technicians adjust the lights for the next presidential debate. “My religion, what I believe in, is called the Constitution of the United States of America.” Myers (Ryan Gosling, pictured above) knows the line because he’s heard it a hundred times before, because he believes it and believes in the man who says it, his presidential candidate-boss, Gov. Mike Morris (George Clooney). The Ides of March, Clooney’s latest civics lesson as actor and director, is a down and dirty politics-behind-closed-doors tale. It’s about a campaign professional (Gosling) letting his idealism get in the way of his professionalism. And it’s about disillusionment, ugly pragmatism, backroom deals and maneuvering in this mass

media/social media/no secrets age. Clooney plays a candidate about to lock up the Democratic presidential nomination. He needs the support of a key senator (Jeffrey Wright) who is angling for a political payoff. He needs all the cunning that his campaign manager (Philip Seymour Hoffman) can manage, because Gov. Morris makes a big deal out of not making “those sorts of deals.” And he needs the loyalty and idealism of Myers, a media mastermind who has brought him so close to his goal. But Myers is distracted. First, there’s the nagging New York Times reporter (Marisa Tomei). Her: “You’ve really drunk the Kool-Aid.” Him: “It tastes delicious.” Her: “He will let you down. He’s a politician. You used to know that before you got all goose-bumpy.” Myers is distracted by the too-cute/ way-too-forward intern (Evan Rachel Wood). And he’s letting the other guy’s

IDES OF MARCH HHH1/2 rating: R for for pervasive language. Running time: 1:41 Starring: Ryan Gosling, Paul Giamatti, Evan Rachel Wood, George Clooney, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Marisa Tomei

campaign manager get into his head. That manager is played by Paul Giamatti with a sinister, knowing sneer — “You’re working for the wrong man.” The Ides of March, based on Beau Willimon’s play Farragut North (named for a Washington subway stop), veers from high-minded political theater to cheap political melodrama. But a cast littered with this many Oscar winners, all in support of a less-self-conscious-than-usual Gosling, could never go far wrong. The film boasts a script of pithy politi-

cal banter and sexy “drinks after work” bar banter: “This is the Big Leagues, man. If you make a mistake, you lose the right to play.” Giamatti and Hoffman are beautifully matched opponents, balancing the picture the way the on-the-make Wood and the on-the-job Tomei do in female supporting roles. And Clooney — cool, collected, committed and above it all — makes the perfect candidate. He and Gosling are matched as the smart, never-let-them-see-you-sweat set, as opposed to the seething-sweating Giamatti and Hoffman. Ides of March has a good script, not a great one. So it isn’t a great film. But it is a smart and high-minded one, wonderfully cast, with understated direction. Clooney is good enough in the lead to stir talk of a political future. But he’s good enough behind the camera to make one hope that he’ll commit to doing more of that, instead.

Jackman’s ‘Real Steel’ is scrap metal By David Germain Associated Press

Real Steel dresses up a bad idea — robots boxing — with all the computer effects and heavy-metal action that Hollywood can buy. But that doesn’t cover up the fact that it’s a bad idea. Really bad. And Real Steel is a really bad movie, with some embarrassingly awful moments for Hugh Jackman, whose silly Wolverine whiskers in the X-Men flicks seem quite distinguished compared to the outlandish trappings here. A horribly predictable mash-up of Rocky, The Champ and Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots, Real Steel puts director Shawn Levy (the Night at the Museum movies) in contention with fellow robot handler Michael Bay for the title of worst blockbuster filmmaker in show business. Jackman’s Charlie Kenton is an exboxer scraping by in the near future as a promoter of brawling robots, which have taken over the sport from human fighters. Charlie’s on the seedy side of boxing, his secondhand ‘bots trading punches at fairgrounds and other unsanctioned venues while

lence, intense action and brief language.

the big boys duke it out in televised league fights at huge arenas. A sleazebag who’s built a life on skipping out on his debts and responsibilities, Charlie suddenly finds himself on the road with his 11-year-old son, Max (Dakota Goyo), after the boy’s mother dies. Short on cash and needing a new robot, Charlie heads to the junkyard to pilfer parts so he can piece together a new fighter. There, Max stumbles on Atom, an outdated sparring robot that turns out to be a diamond in the rough, a scrappy machine that becomes a sensation on the fight circuit. None of the humans have anything interesting to do. The robots are

the stars. Life-size versions of some robots were built for the actors to perform with, while the fight scenes were created using human boxers whose movements were digitally recorded as the basis for the computer-animated robots’ motions (Sugar Ray Leonard helped choreograph the fights). The bouts are deafening and bruising, more like demolition derbies than sporting events. It’s hard to buy into the notion that fans could ever be as rabid to watch a couple of machines tear each other apart as they are to see two men sweating and straining and bleeding on the canvas. “People wanted more carnage, more show,” Charlie says, explaining why robots replaced people in the ring. The metallic carnage of Real Steel rings hollow, though. The filmmakers took the basic idea of robot boxers from a short story by I Am Legend author Richard Matheson, which previously was made into an episode of The Twilight Zone. The only advancement Real Steel brings is production values. Hollywood robots have come a long way since that quaint old black-and-white show. Storytelling, not so much.

Academy Awards overseers have the expertise and memorabilia. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art has the know-how to run a world-class exhibition space. So the two outfits have hooked up to create what they hope will be the finest museum in the world devoted to moviemaking. While there is no definite timeline, organizers said they hope the film museum — housed in a landmark Though they would not estimate the costs, organizers still will need to raise a huge amount of cash to convert the historic May Co. department store, built in 1939 and acquired by the art museum in 1994. But academy President

Tom Sherak said planners will be getting twice as much space — 300,000 square feet at the May building compared to 144,000 square feet that had been planned at the academy’s Hollywood property — for less than half the money it would have taken to build from scratch. They’re also getting a celebrated streamline moderne-style building that went up the same year such movie classics as Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz came out. The academy aims to sign a long-term lease for the building. The academy paid top dollar — reportedly $45 million to $50 million — for the Hollywood properties at the height of the real-estate boom, before the bubble burst in 2008.

Lennon letter to be auctioned An online auction house is selling a 1967 letter that John Lennon wrote to a fan who had inquired about transcendental meditation. Nate D. Sanders Auctions of Santa Monica says the handwritten letter is expected to fetch $25,000 to $30,000.

In the letter, Lennon tells Jean Harrison she is “searching for something (truth) the same as everyone else.” He says the Beatles were lucky to have met Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, but that other teachers could instruct her. — from AP reports

Microsoft brings TV to the Xbox By Barbara Ortutay Associated Press

Owners of the Xbox 360 will soon be able to watch a broad breadth of TV shows and other content through their gaming consoles — though most of that won’t be free. Microsoft Corp. said Wednesday that it’s partnering with Comcast Corp., HBO, Bravo, Verizon’s FiOS service and others to bring ondemand and live television content to the Xbox. This doesn’t exactly replace the set-top boxes currently used to access TV programming. But M2 Research analyst Billy Pidgeon says it’s likely a good option for families who want to able to access TV content in different rooms of the house. With the Xbox, they won’t need a second set-top box. What they will still need is a subscription to Comcast or other payTV services. The Xbox may make it easier to access those HBO shows, but you’ll still have to pay for them. In some cases, you’ll also need a subscription to the Xbox Live Gold online service, which costs $60 a year. Besides on-demand shows and movies, some live TV channels will be available. For example, Verizon said it will bring a selection of popular live TV channels to the Xbox. The key word here, Pidgeon points out, is “some.” Verizon subscribers will still need a set-top box to access all channels and digital video recording services, he said. The deal helps Microsoft position the Xbox 360 as more than a gaming console. The Xbox, along with Sony Corp.’s PlayStation 3 and the Nintendo Wii, already stream Netflix. Sony has also worked to position the PlayStation 3 as an entertainment hub for games, music and movies. “We continue to invest and focus on games. It’s a key pillar of our offering,” said Ross Honey, general manager of content acquisition at Microsoft. The latest TV offerings, he added, “bring another pillar” to the Xbox experience.

Special to The Star

ack and Leo’s nightmare has come true. The two English, Shakespearean-trained actors have been reduced to performing on the Moose Lodge circuit in Amish country … and they can’t even hold that gig for long. In a desperate attempt to reverse their fortunes, these down-and-out actors must pull off the dual roles of a lifetime when they learn of a rich old lady who’s looking to bequeath her wealth to a pair of long-lost relatives. But in order to get the money, Jack and Leo will have to get in touch with their feminine sides.Because when there’s money involved, some people are willing to do just about anything – even dress in drag. Such is the premise for Jacksonville State University’s production of Leading Ladies, which runs through Sunday, explains director and choreographer Susan McCain. “Let’s just say there are a lot of mismanaged judgments,” McCain says, still a bit groggy from a late night of rehearsals. “There are some curious romantic entanglements and some farcical situations that’ll keep the audience guessing.” Leading Ladies is a high-energy, physical comedy that’s forced its young actors – particularly JSU freshman Adam Lane, who plays Jack, and Lee Lundy, a high school senior playing Leo – to stay on their toes. “The actors have been working their hardest on the physicality of the show, making sure the movements stay clean and sharp so that the images on stage don’t get blurred,” McCain explained. “When performing high comedy, physical comedy, the tendency can be to go overboard, turning it into non-theater. For a lot of them this is a different kind of performance. It’s not an in-your-face, oneliner type of comedy.” To teach the actors this fine art, McCain had them watch old Three Stooges episodes as well as Vaudeville performances and routines by comedic legends like George Burns, who knew how to deliver a joke with both timing and sincerity. “They’ve really had to go all out … putting themselves out there for the sake of the show,” McCain said. To get in touch with his genderbending role of Leo, Lee Lundy, a high

I’m very exaggerated and don’t look good in a black wig.” Lee’s entire family graduated from JSU, including his sister, Laura, who was a theater major. He has been active with the local community theater group where both his parents volunteer. Susan McCain has also been there to help with auditions for various productions, which was how the two met. When McCain was casting for the role of Leo, she suggested Lundy try out because he was “very cartoony,” he recalled. For Lee, being involved in a college production has been a tremendous benefit because he’s been able to focus on one task rather than the endless responsibilities that came with working in community theater. “I’m used to running around like a chicken with my head cut off,” said Lee, who often helped with everything from costumes to choreography. “But this college performance feels so much more professional. My only job is acting and doing the best job I can. It really changes your perspective.” On a somber note, all of those in the drama department will be performing with a heavy heart following the passing of longtime secretary Jan Rhodes, who died this summer after a battle with cancer. Not only is the entire season being dedicated in her memory, but a group of drama department alumni are seeking to endow a scholarship in her honor. “She fought hard but never showed it,” McCain said of Rhodes’ cancer battle. “She never got down and always worked hard to keep her spirits up. We all miss her very much.” Contact Brett Buckner at brettbuckner@ymail.com.

Salary dispute could bring end to ‘The Simpsons’ By Joe Flint Los Angeles Times

A salary dispute is threatening to end one of television’s most beloved comedies. The actors who provide the voices for the long-running cartoon hit The Simpsons are at odds over a new contract with 20th Century Fox Television, the production company that makes the series for its sister broadcast network. The studio is seeking to dramatically cut the mid-six-figure salaries of the key actors who voice the show including Dan Castellaneta (Homer), Julie Kavner (Marge), Nancy Cartwright (Bart), Yeardley Smith (Lisa), Hank Azaria (Moe the bartender, Chief Wiggum and Apu) and Harry Shearer (Mr. Burns and Ned Flanders). In a statement, 20th Century Fox Television said it “cannot produce future seasons under its current financial model.” A staple of the Fox lineup for more than two decades, The Simpsons has been a cash cow for Fox parent News Corp., generating billions of dollars — reruns and DVD sales at the top. But its ratings have tumbled over the last few years. This season, The Simpsons has averaged 7.1 million viewers — a drop of nearly 19 percent from five years ago. In the coveted category of viewers ages 18 to 49, ratings have fallen 17 percent. Most shows experience ratings declines as they age. The conundrum is at the same time production costs rise. The per-episode license fee that Fox pays its sister studio for The Simpsons is north of $5 million a show, according to people with knowledge of the terms who declined to speak publicly. At that price, the series is no longer profitable for the network, these people said.

Product placement pays; ‘Dallas’ revival due in 2012

Oct. 7-13, 2011 TV CROSSWORD TV CROSSWORD

By Rich Heldenfels Akron Beacon Journal

Q: At what point does an incidental prop become “product placement” for which permission is necessary? For example, seeing a person drinking a Coke is the most normal, natural, common thing you’ll see on earth — and Coke is directly responsible for that fact — so, at what point are filmmakers required to ask Coke permission to show a character drinking their beverage? A: It’s interesting that you chose Coca Cola. In 2007, the company took issue with an Italian film in which Jesus drank a Coke. According to a report in Variety at the time, Coca Cola wrote to the producers “demanding that the scene be cut because it is likely to give Coca Cola a negative image and complaining that use of their brand was unauthorized.” The company successfully kept the movie from being distributed. In general, if you are showing a clearly identifiable logo for a product in a movie or TV show, then you had better either have permission from the company, be sure you are not portraying the product in a negative light — or prepare for the possibility of litigation. As companies become ever more protective of their brands, seemingly incidental use of products becomes less and less likely. In reality shows, for example, you often see commercial logos blurred out on clothing and background objects. A little over 10 years ago, when I was a background extra on The Drew Carey Show, extras brought their own clothes and the wardrobe instructions warned against “big logos.” They would not even let me wear a Beacon Journal shirt. After all, product placement is a money issue. Shows can get money from companies for showcasing their products, and the makers of the products get a promotional boost from being onscreen. Q: I read some months ago that there was going to be a reunion of the Dallas series. I have not heard anything more and was wondering

Keith Bernstein/HBO/Associated Press

Anika Noni Rose is shown in a scene from the HBO original series, ‘The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency.’ if you know anything about it. A: TNT has announced a new Dallas series to premiere in summer 2012. Cast members from the original series will include Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray and Larry Hagman, but will feature stories about younger characters, among them J.R.’s grownup son John Ross (Josh Henderson) and Bobby’s adult son Christopher (Jesse Metcalfe). The network has ordered 10 episodes so far. Q: Will there be any more No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency on HBO? And what is the status of season four of Southland on TNT? A: The fourth season of Southland will begin in January 2012. The HBO series, based on the

books by Alexander McCall Smith, aired for a single season in 2009. But fans have called for more screen versions (including in letters to this column). And HBO reportedly announced in July that it is planning two stand-alone Detective Agency movies. Q: I’m trying to find an old movie starring Tom Selleck and Bess Armstrong called High Road to China. Is it available on DVD? If it is where can I get it? A: As far as I can tell, the movie has never had an authorized DVD release in the U.S. Websites such as Amazon. com have at times offered imported DVDs of the adventure film but I cannot vouch for their quality.
