Story and Photos by Pat Krause The McCallum Theatre hosted a two-night performance from Frank Sinatra Jr. on Feb. 5th and 6th. The theatre was filled with Sinatra fans. Sinatra Jr. dedicated his performance to his Dad’s 100 birthday and said this show would be different than previous shows. He would tell a different side of Frank Sinatra than at other shows. There would be videos showing all the good, troubles, and woes in the life of Frank Sinatra. He said the man is gone but the music lives on forever. There was a full orchestra playing Sinatra songs to start the performance. Sinatra Jr. came on stage behind a video of Rudy Valee and Bing Crosby saying Sinatra had his own
sound that didn’t sound like any of the lead singers of that time. Sinatra Jr. sang, All Or Nothing At All, and then with a Tommy Dorsey video in the background he sang, Without a Song,. Sinatra Jr. noted that local icon Barry Manilow penned a song in tribute to Frank Sinatra. Videos showed newsprint of the past news worthy articles about Frank Sinatra. There were many that he thought the audience might not remember such as a cartoon about Frank Sinatra. The videos also showed his wives and the divorces over the years and the turmoil in some of the marriages. Sinatra Jr. told a few stories about his father. One story mentioned comic Phil Silvers making a bet he could write a better lyric than a fellow lyricist. There was even
a newspaper article about an FBI probe on Frank Sinatra. Sinatra was interested in other things as he was bullied as a child. Sinatra Jr. stood by the American Flag and sang, The House I Live In, Another video said that Frank Sinatra’s career was over at the same time he was getting a divorce from movie star Ava Garner, then in 1952 a career comeback with a movie and hit songs. Some of the other songs Sinatra Jr. sang were, I’ve Got You Under My Skin, and I’ve Got the World on a String, and, Swinging On A Star, there were times when I closed my eyes, Sinatra Jr. sounded a lot like his father. Some of my photos made me think of Sinatra Sr. where Sintra Jr. looked a bit like his father. A nice trip down memory lane.

A young man spoke to
David Rothmiller and LD Thompson, founders. Photo by Pat Krause the crowd about his life and how he needed the help he found. This is the brainchild of David Rothmiller and L D Thompson, who had a difficult childhood because of his sexual orientation. The house just needs a final walk
thru. They have acquired a bus that is also a requirement to open. They have the programs and staff already in place. They raised a lot of money but they need a commitment to continue as they are hoping to

DVD Update: “Labyrinth of Lies,” from Sony Pictures Classics, is now available on Bluray and DVD. The powerful, well documented film takes place in Germany 15 years after World War II as one young man forces an entire country to face its past. In 1958 “Auschwitz” was a place some people had never heard of and a terrible place others wanted to forget as quickly as possible. Things change when a young prosecutor, Johann Rodmann (Alexander Fehling), begins to examine the case of a teacher who has recently been identified as a former Auschwitz guard. Rodmann soon finds himself in a web of repression and denial as he devotes himself to his new fact finding task against the will of his immediate superior. In the process of his research he oversteps boundaries, falls out with friends, colleagues and allies

Stylish 18th century french farce re-do is a winner

By Jack Lyons Theatre and Film Critic Chicago-born playwright David Ives has been called ‘the master of the short-form’ when it comes to playwrights. With a trunk-full of short plays, essays, and various forms of literature squirreled away someplace, it was only a matter of time before he moved on to writing full length plays. He is also a master at translation from French into English and then adapting the source material into a fresh play or a movie script. He likes to call the process: “translaptations”. Two of his “translaptations”; are two of my favorite Ives’ plays: “Venus in Fur” and “All in the Timing”. I have long harbored a theory as to why French classic comedies and farces have never been that popular with American audiences. We Yanks can’t quite grasp or understand the ‘Master-Servant relationship’ in all of its idiosyncratic iterations. It’s an alien relationship form to us. This may be why we see so little of Moliere, Corneille, Piron or Feydeau being produced
in American regional theatres yet we embrace the form in the plays of our cousins, the English. It must be a case of ‘it’s the audiences stupid’. But, I digress. Playwright Ives serves up a tasty French pastry of fluff, silliness, and poetry of the absurd, in his hilarious adaptation “The Metromaniacs” now on stage at The Old Globe, masterly staged by awardwinning director Michael Kahn. Under Kahn’s intelligent, stylish, and creative vision this gifted ensemble of farceurs knows what to do when they find themselves in one. Metaphors abound in French farce. The characters and plot situations performed were crafted in such a way that the playwrights and actors during the 17th and 18th centuries got to poke fun at both the Monarchy and the Church, while having their heads remain upon their shoulders; to perform again. Americans have very little appetite for political or religious satire, no matter who writes and performs it. The French and the British are not so skittish. The play doesn’t revolve
around any particular character, but more around a subject. The subject being poetry and those who write it, read it, enjoy it, and are intoxicated by just the thought of it. Some of the play’s character poet practitioners, however, are not as gifted as they think they are. Remember, the story such as it is, is a farce where anything goes is not only hilarious, it’s also chock full of madcap onstage antics that are worthy of a Marx Brothers storyline - but no slamming doors - just PLENTY of mistaken identities, scheming servants and disguises to the delight of the audience. The play opens in the home of the wealthy Mr. Francalou (Adam LeFevre) where young poet Damis (Christian Conn) who is totally obsessed with poetry, has become bewitched by the verses of a mysterious poetess, not knowing” she” is really his host and the father of Lucille (Amelia Pedlow). Lucille likes Mr. Dorante (Cary Donaldson), the son of his sworn enemy, so Francalou allows Damis to believe his daughter is the poetess. And then the

romantic chase scenes begin. I know, it all sounds confusing, but as the great Sherlock Holmes always says: “Patience Watson, all will be revealed.” It may be a French playwright that started it all, but the translaptation by American Ives, leaves the audience thinking about an English playwright who sort of has the last thought so to speak: “All’s Well that Ends Well” by the incomparable Bard of Avon. The first-rate ensemble cast is blessed with actors who display impeccable farce timing and skill. They are: Michael Goldstrom as Mondor Damis’ valet; Dina Thomas as Lisette, Lucille’s maid; Peter Kybart as Baliveau, Damis’ Uncle, and Benjamin Cole, and Conner Sullivan as servants, along with the above mentioned Christian Conn, Cary Donaldson, Amelia
Pedlow, and Adam LeFevre. “The Metromaniacs”, definitely appeals to sophisticated and savvy theatre devotees who are willing to enjoy without questioning; just letting the onstage antics wash right over them. The Old Globe has few equals when it comes to technical credits and this production is no exception. The creative and visually stunning Scenic Design by James Noone, with gorgeous costumes designed by Murell Horton; a lighting design by Mark McCullough and a Sound Design by Mark Tierney ensure that everyone has a fun evening at the theatre. “ T h e M e t ro m a n i a c s ” performs at The Old Globe Theatre on the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage, through March 6, 2016.
