People United States Holocaust Museum shares exhibit with Missouri History Museum For The Edge “Propaganda is a truly terrible weapon in the hands of an expert.” — Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, 1924 The Nazi Party developed a sophisticated propaganda machine that deftly spread lies about its political opponents, Jews, and the need to justify war. But Nazi p ro p a g a n d a w a s m u c h m o re complex than that. For the Nazis to achieve power and pursue their racial policies and expansionist war efforts, a much more nuanced picture had to be painted—one that would appeal to broad swaths of the population, not just a fanatical extreme. Featuring rarely seen artifacts, State of Deception: The Power of Nazi Propaganda draws visitors into a rich multimedia environment vividly illustrating the insidious allure of much of Nazi propaganda.
The exhibition opens at the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park on April 11, 2015 and will be on display through September 7, 2015. “Adolf Hitler was an avid student of propaganda and borrowed techniques from the Allies in World War I, his Socialist and Communist rivals, the Italian Fascist Party, as well as modern advertising,” says exhibition curator Steven Luckert. “Drawing upon these models, he successfully marketed the Nazi Party, its ideology, and himself to the German people.” The exhibition reveals how shortly after World War I, the Nazi Party began to transform itself from an obscure, extremist group into the largest political party in democratic Germany. Hitler early on recognized how propaganda, combined with the use of terror, could help his radical party gain mass support and votes. He personally adapted the ancient symbol of the swastika and the emotive colors of red, black, and white to create the movement’s flag. In doing so, Hitler established a potent visual identity that has branded the Nazi Party ever since. After seizing power, the Nazi Party took over all communications
in Germany. It marshaled the state’s resources to consolidate power and relentlessly promote its vision of a “racially pure,” utopian Germany that needed to defend itself from those who would destroy it. Jews were cast as the primary enemies, but others, including Roma, homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and mentally and physically d i s a b l e d p e r s o n s , w e re a l s o portrayed as threats to the “national community.” As Germany pushed the world i n t o w a r, N a z i p r o p a g a n d a rationalized Germany’s territorial expansion as self-defense. Jews were depicted as agents of disease and corruption. The Nazis’ actions against them, in Germany and occupied countries, were promoted as necessary measures to protect the population at large. Admission to State of Deception is free. The Missouri History Museum has been active in the St. Louis community since 1866. Founding members established the organization “for the purpose of saving from oblivion the early history of the city and state.” Today, the Missouri History Museum seeks
to deepen the understanding of past choices, present circumstances, and future possibilities; strengthen the bonds of the community; and facilitate solutions to common problems. Due to its innovative approach to public service, the Missouri History Museum was the first recipient of the Institute of Museum and Library Services N a t i o n a l Aw a rd f o r M u s e u m Services in 1994. The Missouri History Museum offers programs and outreach services, including traveling exhibitions; tours; theatrical and musical presentations; programs for school classes and youth groups; family festivals; special events; workshops; and lectures. The Missouri History Museum is funded by the St. Louis City and County taxpayers through the Metropolitan Zoological Park and Museum District and by private donations. The Museum is open seven days a week with general admission always free. The Missouri History Museum in Forest Park also operates the Library and Research Center at 225 South Skinker Boulevard near the Washington University campus.

Saint Louis Zoo to re-open Penguin & Puffin Coast For the Intelligencer Penguin & Puffin Coast at the Saint Louis Zoo will re-open to the public on Thursday, March 5 at 10:30 a.m. with a parade of king and gentoo penguins leading the way. Immediately following the parade, the exhibit will once again be open to the public every day. The exhibit has been closed since Sept. 2013 for construction of McDonnell Polar Bear Point, which is next door to the penguin habitats. The Humboldt penguins have been receiving visitors at their outdoor habitat since Oct. 2014; however, the indoor portion of the exhibit has remained closed to the public. Major construction of Polar Bear Point will be complete by this spring, and the exhibit is expected to open in summer 2015. “We know our visitors have missed the penguins and we’re happy to bring them back,” says Jeffrey P. Bonner, Ph.D., Dana Brown President and Chief Executive Officer of the Saint Louis Zoo. “Our spectacular new Polar Bear Point will be well worth the wait.” Penguin & Puffin coast opened in 2003 and is home to about 100 oceanic birds —penguins from the Southern hemisphere and puffins from the Northern hemisphere. The Dennis & Judy Jones Family Humboldt Haven is the outdoor habitat for the Humboldt penguins, a threatened species found only along the rugged Pacific coast of Peru and Chile. The 45-degree

Arlo Guthrie was born with a guitar in one hand and a harmonica in the other. He is the eldest son of Woody Guthrie, America’s most beloved singer/writer/ philosopher, and Marjorie Mazia Guthrie, a professional dancer with the Martha Graham Company. An icon of the “Folk Boom” era, his career exploded in 1967 with the release of “Alice’s Restaurant.” Since then, he’s brought his brand of musical storytelling to stages around the world. This season, we welcome Guthrie back to SIUE, where he appeared four times at the Mississippi River Festival and once with Arts & Issues in 2008. In 2015, Arlo embarks on his 50th Anniversary Tour celebrating “Alice’s Restaurant.” Tickets can be purchased at the Morris University Center Information Desk or artsandissues.com

People People planner OMNIMAX film captures unseen world
A new giant screen film adventure takes audiences on an extraordinary journey into unseen worlds and hidden dimensions beyond our normal vision to uncover the mysteries of things too fast, too slow, too small or simply invisible. On October 10, 2014, the Saint Louis Science Center ’s OMNIMAX® Theater will premiere Mysteries of the Unseen World, an original production by National Geographic Entertainment and Days End Pictures, narrated by Forest Whitaker. Created by an award-winning veteran film team, the new 40-minute large format experience is produced by Jini Durr (“Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure”) a n d L i s a Tr u i t t ( “ M y s t e r i e s o f E g y p t ” ) a n d d i re c t e d b y L o u i s S c h w a r t z b e rg ( “ D i s n e y Nature: Wings of Life”). Mysteries of the Unseen World uses innovative high-speed and time-lapse photography, electron microscopy, and nanotechnology, to transport audiences to an enthralling secret w o r l d o f n a t u re , e v e n t s a n d breathtaking phenomena not visible to the naked eye. “Mysteries of the Unseen World has that ‘wow’ factor that will impress adults and children,” said Jackie Mollet, Managing Director Visitor Services at the S a i n t L o u i s S c i e n c e C e n t e r. “Seeing these amazing images will give you a new appreciation for the world around us. The technological advances used to capture these images are aweinspiring as well. ” INVISIBLE: We see only a fraction of the millions of wavelengths in the vast electromagnetic spectrum— the rainbow of light waves called visible light. The film shows audiences what it would be life if we had X-ray vision, or infrared vision like a mosquito, how a bee’s eyes see through ultraviolet light, what Gamma rays, microwaves and radio waves show us, and more. TOO SLOW: Ti m e - l a p s e i m a g e s c a p t u re mundane events that happen too slowly for humans to perceive. The film shows plants creeping toward the sun and astonishingly complex “slime mold” searching for food. On a grander scaled, time-lapse allows audiences to see our planet in motion—from the vast and relentless sweep of nature to the restless movement of humanity. TOO FAST: High-speed cameras do the opposite of time-lapse, revealing secrets from the super-fast world of nature. The film shows slow motion sequences of events that happen too quickly for human perception: a rattlesnake strike; drug cymbals reverberating; a Eurasian Eagle Owl, the world’s largest, flexing its wings; a basilisk or Jesus lizard running on the surface of water; popcorn popping; lightning rising upwards from the ground as well as striking from the sky. TOO SMALL: The film also peers into the world of wonders too small for the human eye to see—from the minute structures on a butterfly’s wing and the tiny organisms that inhabit the human body all the way down to nano-scale structures. See how electron microscopes create images that magnify things by as much as
6
a million times—revealing a world that is both bizarre and beautiful. Guess which unusual image is a fruit fly’s eye, the skin of a shark, a flea on a cat, a tomato stem, an eggshell, and more! Mysteries of the Unseen World then moves from the familiar events of everyday life to the building blocks of matter itself. The filmmakers worked with a 3-D medical animation company to depict the atom-scale realm of nano-science and potential innovations in nanotechnology. In a complex zoom sequence, the shot moves in on a spider, then a strand of its silk, then into the silk itself where audiences see a bacterium. The camera then zooms even deeper, in on a virus on the bacterium, then into the DNA of the virus and finally into the actual
atoms of the DNA. “Mysteries of the Unseen World immerses audiences in mind-bending dimensions that enhance our understanding of the planet and inspire people with the wonder and possibilities o f s c i e n c e , ” s a i d L i s a Tru i t t , president of National Geographic Entertainment. “The premise of this new giant screen film experience is looking at the world through a variety of imaging technologies that allow audiences to see beyond what they can with the naked eye and gain a new vision of the world around them,” said producer Jini Durr. Tickets are on sale at the Saint L o u i s S c i e n c e C e n t e r. P l e a s e visit slsc.org or call 314.289.4424 for advanced sales and group reservations.

McClinton to perform at the Sheldon
As one of today’s most revered artists, Delbert McClinton’s blend of jukejoint blues, country, soul and rock n’ roll has earned him multiple Gammy Awards and critical acclaim throughout his more-than-50 year career. Born in Lubbock, Texas, McClinton first gained attention with his distinctive harmonica playing on Bruce Channel’s number one single “Hey Baby.” He went on to back blues legends such as Jimmy Reed and Sonny Boy Williamson before moving to Los Angeles in the early 1970s. McClinton scored his first Top 10 hit in 1980 with “Giving It Up For Your Love,” which pushed the accompanying album, The Jealous Kind, into the national top 40. The next two decades found McClinton solidifying his place as an influential song writer and solo artist. Emmylou Harris had a number one hit with his composition, “Two More Bottles of Wine,” and he won a 1991 Grammy Award for his duet with Bonnie Raitt, “Good Man, Good Woman.” McClinton will perform at 8 p.m. on March 13 at the Sheldon Concert Hall. Tickets are $35 orchestra/$30 balcony. Call MetroTix at 314-534-1111 or visit TheSheldon.org.

Liverpool Legends to appear at Lake of the Ozarks' Main Street Music Hall
For The Edge
I
n 1964, the Beatles burst into the American music scene, starting the "British Invasion" and creating a culture called "Beatlemania." Over the weekend of March 6-7, visitors to Central Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks will, once again, be in the throes of Beatlemania as the Liverpool Legends take the stage at the Main Street Music Hall in Osage Beach. Louise Harrison, sister of the late George Harrison, created the award-winning tribute band, which makes its home in Branson. While Beatles tribute bands are plentiful, Louise felt she could create a more authentic band by hand-picking the members, both for their striking physical resemblance to the original Beatles and also for their musical
talent and expertise. It is not uncommon for her to travel with the group to their Lake of the Ozarks performances, if her schedule allows. When she is there, she takes part in the show by answering questions from the audience. The endeavor of creating Liverpool Legends was dear to her heart, as she has been a part of what she describes as "The Global Family of Beatle People," since her youngest brother came to America with his bandmates in the mid-60s. The show takes audiences back in time, giving them the full Beatles experience. Vintage video footage of the Beatles serves as the
backdrop for the live performance and audience members are invited to fill the area of the theater near the stage, lending a "live concert" atmosphere to the show. The Lake of the Ozarks' TriCounty Lodging Association is instrumental in bringing the Liverpool Legends to the Lake area each year and Jim Divincen, the association's administrator, is one of the band's biggest fans. "Growing up in the Beatles era and being a huge Beatles fan, this is by far the single best Beatles tribute band that I've ever heard," Divincen said. "In addition to the actual music, incredibly tight harmonies, and costume changes,
this group brings the personality of the Beatles with them on stage and conveys that to the audience. It's just wonderful to see all the different generations enjoying themselves during the concert." These talented artists faithfully recreate the "Fab Four's" performances throughout their career. Wardrobe changes represent different eras of the band's history and then continue on through the years of the band members' solo performances. The result is a widely acclaimed and crowd-pleasing tribute that engages audience members, taking them back in time to the years when all the world was
watching the Beatles. Shows will be held at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, March 6 and 7. Tickets to see this Grammynominated group are available from the Lake of the Ozarks Convention & Visitor Bureau. Premium seats are $30 for adults and children; regular reserved seating is $25 for adults and $20 for children. The venue will sell out quickly, so it's recommended that tickets be purchased early. For more information, call 800-FUN-LAKE (386-5253) or visit the Lake of the Ozarks Convention & Visitor Bureau's award-winning website, www. FunLake.com.

QuickGlance Movie Reviews
"American Sniper"
A mere six months after releasing the Four Seasons drama "Jersey Boys," Clint Eastwood has again lapped his younger directing colleagues with his second film of 2014 and his best movie in years. "American Sniper" is quintessentially Eastwood: a tautly made, confidently constructed examination of the themes that have long dominated his work. "American Sniper," based on Navy SEAL marksman Chris Kyle's best-selling memoir, is both a tribute to the warrior and a lament for war. Shirking politics, the film instead sets its sights squarely on its elite protagonist (Bradley Cooper), a traditional American war hero in an untraditional war. Here is an archetypal American: a chew-spitting, beerdrinking Texas cowboy who enlists after the 1998 bombings of American embassies with resolute righteousness and noble patriotic duty. The once wayward Kyle finds his true calling in the Navy, and he heads to Iraq with a moral certainty that no amount of time served or kills will shake. He's there to kill bad guys — "savages" he calls them at one point. And kill he does. With 160 confirmed kills, Kyle is believed to be the most lethal sniper in U.S. history. The film starts with a remarkable scene of Kyle poised on an Iraq rooftop with a young boy holding a grenade in his scope. Eastwood and screenwriter Jason Hall flashback to Kyle's upbringing, where his father taught him about "the gift of aggression" and the honor of defending others. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "strong and disturbing war violence, and language throughout including some sexual references." RUNNING TIME: 124 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.
"Wild Card"
It becomes quickly clear in "Wild Card," the latest vehicle for the hunky, brooding British action star Jason Statham, that his character doesn't need a gun to maim or kill. Guns are for wimps. Statham can wreak havoc with virtually any sharp implement, including his own head. What he does need, however, is a sharper script. The pedigree of Oscar-winning screenwriter William Goldman notwithstanding, "Wild Card," a remake of the writer's 1986 "Heat" based on his novel of the same name, is an unsatisfying mishmash of action movie, unlikely-buddy flick and meditation on the scourge of gambling. At times, it recalls "The Gambler" (another recent disappointment, and also a remake); at others, "The Equalizer," and at others, any number of moody, seedy Vegas-themed films. All these directions could have been promising, but nothing truly coherent emerges. Not that Statham doesn't display his sturdy, reliable appeal here — particularly when we get to see the humanity peeking through his brawny, altogether pleasing exterior. We learn immediately that his Nick Wild, a freelance Las Vegas bodyguard who's seen better days, is a thoroughly decent guy at heart. In an opening scene, we see him harass a shorter, weaker, man out for a drink with his gorgeous girlfriend (Sofia Vergara, one of several big names making quick cameos). Improbably, the smaller guy cleans Nick's clock. Later, we learn it was all an act, allowing the guy to impress his gal. He offers Nick $1,000, twice what was planned. Nick refuses the bonus. Nick also rises to the occasion when Holly (Dominik Garcia-Lordo), a woman from his past, comes to him with

a problem: She's been brutally assaulted by a gangster thug based in a fancy hotel, and wants vengeance. Nick resists — he doesn't want to get killed — but they both know he'll step in and defend her. RATED:: R by the Motion Picture Association of America "for strong violence, language and some sexuality/nudity. " RUNNING TIME: 92 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: One and a half stars out of four.
"Timbuktu"
The hot Malian sands of Abderrahmane Sissako's " Ti m b u k t u " a re a c o o l re s e r v o i r o f p l a c i d b e a u t y, w h e re d e s e r t d u n e s a re s w e p t b y q u i e t r i p p l e s o f colorful, everyday village life and haphazard storms of violence. " Ti m b u k t u , " t h e O s c a r- n o m i n a t e d f o re i g n - l a n g u e film from Mauritania, is set outside Timbuktu, a place long associated with exotic adventure. But here it's occupied by Islamist forces, as it was from early 2012 until 2013 before French and Malian troops pushed them out. But "forces" suggests a more formal command than the patrolmen seen in Sissako's poetically humanist film. Avoiding stereotypes, the movie shrinks larger political and religious battles down to the people of a desert town — city dwellers and nomadic Tuareg people out in the dunes — being forced to change by a handful of halfhearted oppressors. T h e o rd e r s o f t h e n e w l y a r r i v e d f u n d a m e n t a l i s t s (Abel Jafri plays their leader, with subtle uncertainty) would be satirical if they weren't so cruel. One with a bullhorn walks the streets, warning "not to sit in front of one's house, to do any old thing, to spend some time in the street." Another pair argues furiously about a beating that turns out to be a Spanish soccer match. R AT E D : P G - 1 3 f o r " s o m e v i o l e n c e a n d t h e m a t i c elements." RUNNING TIME: 97 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.
"The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water"
Would that all of our brains resembled that of SpongeBob SquarePants — and we're talking about his actual brain, like, the cerebral matter located somewhere inside that porous yellow body. When, in the thoroughly enjoyable (though somewhat exhausting) "The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water," the tiny, scheming Plankton takes a surreptitious trip into one of those sponge-holes, he finds a brain coated with cotton candy, rainbows and all manner of sweets, like a scene from "The Nutcracker." It's enough to make a cynical little organism sick, but it makes us love sweet SpongeBob even more. As does director Paul Tibbitt's new movie, which is zany and clever and fun (and in 3D), as long as you can take 93 minutes of it. That may depend on your age. As I exited the theater I heard a father telling his young son wearily, "That's
February 19, 2015
about all the SpongeBob I can take." The son, it seemed, could have taken a few hours more. The movie — the second feature-length outing for the durable Nickelodeon TV character, and the first since 2004 —begins somewhere above the undersea hamlet of Bikini Bottom, where SpongeBob lives. We meet a nefarious pirate character named Burger Beard (Antonio Banderas, in live action and game for anything), tracking down a precious ancient book via his treasure map. The book tells the story of Bikini Bottom — a device to bring newcomers up to speed. (In a clever touch that parents will like, an old library card shows the previous borrowers, who include Davy Jones. "This is way overdue," the pirate says.) We learn how Bikini Bottom is addicted to Krabby Patties, the succulent burgers made only at Krusty Krab, the fast-food joint where SpongeBob (voiced by Tom Kenny) works for Mr. Krabs (Clancy Brown), who keeps the secret recipe stowed away in a vault. RATED: PG by the Motion Picture Association of America "for mild action and rude humor." RUNNING TIME: 93 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.
"Seventh Son"
There's a fine line between charm and cheese in fantasy epics, and movies as silly and overwrought as "Seventh Son" only help to illustrate just how hard it is to hit the right tone when balancing action, romance, (attempted) wit, and the creation of the world. For every "Princess Bride" or "Lord of the Rings," there are 10 "Jack the Giant Slayers," and as studios cram more and more CG spectacle into each final product, it seems that storytelling and character are the consistent casualties. "Seventh Son," directed by Sergei Bodrov, is no exception. Based on Joseph Delaney's novel "The Spook's Apprentice" (the first in a series), "Seventh Son" tells the story of Master Gregory (Jeff Bridges), a skilled witch hunter (or, "spook") who must train a new apprentice after the evil witch Mother Malkin (Julianne Moore) escapes her imprisonment. He takes on Tom Ward (Ben Barnes) because Tom, you see, is the seventh son of the seventh son which makes him especially suited to the job of killing supernatural beings. Bridges is as marble mouthed as ever and barely comprehensible as the hard-boiled spook. He's trying something here that is not quite working and actually makes it difficult to become emotionally invested in his relationship with the apprentice. It's entirely possible that he and Barnes have some sharp exchanges and witty banter, but when you're not straining to decipher exactly what nonsense exposition was mumbled, they're dolling out such sitcom-level gems as "I'm starting to wish I was the sixth son." Moore, who is riding high on her stellar, Oscar-nominated "Still Alice" performance, doesn't fare much better as the scorned, shape-shifting witch, who aims to unleash vengeance on humanity because of one betrayal. Mother Malkin teams up with her sister (Antje Traue) and "half witch" niece Alice (Alicia Vikander) to carry out her wishes RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "intense fantasy violence and action throughout, frightening images and brief strong language." RUNNING TIME: 102 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: One star out of four.

We learn how Bikini Bottom is addicted to Krabby Patties, the succulent burgers made only at Krusty Krab, the fast-food joint where SpongeBob (voiced by Tom Kenny) works for Mr. Krabs (Clancy Brown), who keeps the secret recipe stowed away in a vault. Back down in Bikini Bottom, rival restaurant owner Plankton is trying to steal the formula, as usual. He fails, but the formula actually disappears. The two rivals join forces to find it,
and this quest drives the movie, with many a wacky tangent awaiting — including time travel and even space travel, up to a weird platform somewhere in the universe where a porpoise who sounds delightfully like Christopher Walken makes sure the planets don't collide. But back to the recipe. It's an urgent mission, because without its beloved snack, Bikini Bottom falls immediately into an apocalyptic state, with everyone wearing leather and turning evil. They're hungry — very hungry. Eventually, SpongeBob and his posse, which includes series regulars Squidward (Rodger Bumpass), Sandy (Carolyn Lawrence) and of course starfish Patrick (Bill Fagerbakke), will end up traveling somewhere they've never been: Up to the surface, and out of the water.
Movies that aren't "Fifty Shades of Grey" By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge Before the weekend explodes i n a m a e l s t ro m ( m a l e - s t ro m ? ) of excited woman flocking to their local theatres to check out the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie, I thought I’d tackle a few of the lesser performing titles to see what’s actually go on in the marketplace right now. Rest assured that I will be happy to regale you with my titillating take on the adventure next week. In fact, I’ll also get to share some fun details about the new "Divergent" movie, called "Insurgent," that premieres in mid-March and that I got a chance to screen last week at an event hosted by Lionsgate. For now I shall answer the question
of whether or not the long delay in releasing affected the opening of "Seventh Son" (boy, did it!) and whether or not "A Most Violent Year" is worth the investment of time to relive the bleakest moment of NYC’s 1980s dystopia (it might be!). The debacle within Seventh Son starts early in the first reel of the film. We’re introduced to a fantasy world where monsters, dragons, and other beasties are kept at bay by powerful knights that are all the seventh son or a seventh son. Because this introduction c o m e s v i a a k i n d l y, b u t d a n g e ro u s u n s e e n n a r r a t o r, I know that this movie will be thin on plot. Other than having come from big families, I’ll suppose that these knights were all pretty angry for most of the
time, but that’s an assumption. The only one of the order re m a i n i n g i s M a s t e r G re g o r y (Jeff Bridges) and he shows of bad case study, dealing with his sadness through drink. Upon learning of a new apprentice, Master Gregory sets off with his loyal servant, Tusk (John DeSantis), to locate To m Wa r d ( B e n B a r n e s ) , t h e son of a witch that will be a h e ro i n t h e m a k i n g o f t h i s exhaustingly dry film that features too many bland special effect and a waste of Julianne Moore, Kit Harrington, and Djimon Hounsou as lackeys and v illains o f v arying de gre e s o f importance. If the movie is to be remembered at all, it would be for Bridges’ hilarious take on the drunken Gregory. "Seventh Son" runs 102
minutes and is rated PG-13 for intense fantasy violence and action t h ro u g h o u t , f r i g h t e n i n g i m a g e s , and brief strong language. I give this film half of one star out of four. ••• "A Most Violent Year" on the other hand is an extraordinary take on a film whose style is something we’ve seen many times before. In facts, the s l e a z y s i d e o f N e w Yo r k C i t y that is depicted during the worst year on record (1981, in t e r m s o f m u rd e r s a n d r a p e s ) comes up surprisingly dirty and still really cool. The hallmark touches of the 1970s film renaissance are incorporated neatly into a script by director J.C. Chandor. The real slick win , though, is due to the casting of Oscar Isaac as

A l b e r t Brooks and Jessica Chastain totally steal scenes – as they’re apt to do – as his lawyer and conniving wife, respectively. I loved this movie, if it is a little tedious at times. Compared to modern storytelling, which is not as superior, the movie plods along t o p a t c h e s o f g re a t a c t i o n . I w o u l d c o m p a re i t t o s o m e o f the great work done by Scorsese and Coppola during the heyday of the early decades. " A M o s t Vi o l e n t Ye a r " r u n s 125 minutes and is rated R for language and some violence. I give this film three stars out of four.

The Arts Cast announced for "Antony and Cleopatra" For The Edge New York performers Michael Sharon and Shirine Babb will play the roles of Antony and Cleopatra, respectively, in Shakespeare Festival St. Louis’ production of Antony and Cleopatra, May 22 through June 14, at Shakespeare Glen in Forest Park. This marks the company’s 15-year anniversary of free, live, outdoor, professional theatre in the park. Sharon and Babb will both be making their Shakespeare Festival St. Louis debut. Sharon has performed in theaters from London to Los Angeles, including the St. Louis Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, where he played the role of Ubazz in Avenue X in 2002. A graduate of the University of Southern California, Sharon also received classical training at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. Babb has appeared on OffBroadway in Around the World in 80 Days, Single Black Female and Aliens with Extraordinary Skills, among others, as well as on stage throughout London. TV credits include All My Children and We are NY. Babb appeared in the 2010-11 seasons at The Old Globe Shakespeare Festival in San Diego. She received her MA from the East 15 Acting Conservatory in London and an MFA from the University of San Diego’s Old Globe PTAP. “The high caliber of talent in this year ’s production is something we are most thrilled about,” said Mike Donohue, a New York-based
freelancer and St. Louis native, who will direct the production. “Michael Sharon and Shirine Babb are incredibly talented performers who are capable of immersing themselves into a role and taking it to the next level. Our audiences are in for a special treat in the park.” First performed at the Globe Theatre around 1607, Antony and Cleopatra tells the epic, intriguing, and enchanting tale of a Roman general caught under the spell of history’s most stunning and powerful queen. Passionate conflicts are at the heart of the play and many consider Cleopatra to be one of Shakespeare’s most complicated characters. “We wanted to do a big play for our 15th anniversary; Antony and Cleopatra certainly fits the bill,” said Bruce Longworth, Interim Artistic Director for Shakespeare Festival St. Louis. Joining Sharon and Babb will be Broadway performer Conan McCarty (Enobarbus) and Moses Villarama (Eros). Festival veterans include Kari Ely (Charmian); Gary Glasgow (Lepidus); Michael James Reed (Agrippa); Charles Pasternak (Octavius), who played Hotspur in Henry IV and the Dauphin in Henry V; Reginald Pierre (Maecenas), who played Westmoreland (Henry IV/ Henry V). Alan Knoll an actor and director for the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis’ Imaginary Theatre Company, will play the role of Mardian. Matt Lytle who studied classical performance in London

and has appeared in productions across the country will play multiple parts (Pompey/Proculeius/ Canidius).

the Kansas City Actors Theatre, will serve as composer for the production. Butler ’s Pantry and the Festival will continue its intimate and elegant communal dining experience on select evenings during the run of the production, in addition to nightly food and beverage offerings provided by the Saint Louis Zoo. As in previous years, the Festival will include a nightly pre-performance Green Show at 6:30 p.m., following by the Main Stage production at 8 p.m. Admission is free; ticketed, reserved seating is also available online and in the park.l In the past 14years, Shakespeare Festival St. Louis has attracted more
than 640,000 people to its annual free performances In the Park. The organization has reached 270,000 students In the Schools through i t s e d u c a t i o n a l p ro g r a m m i n g and, in 2010, launched SHAKE 38, a marathon participatory presentation of Shakespeare’s entire 38-play canon community wide, and in 2012, shut down its first street, Cherokee, to present a community-based play In the Streets. With support from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Regional Arts Commission, SHAKE38.com launched on April 23, 2014, Shakespeare’s 450th birthday.

Anglers ďŹ nd their way to Lake of the Ozarks regardless of the season
For The Edge
I
f your vacation luggage always includes a tackle box, Central Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks is the perfect year-round destination for you.
The Lake includes 54,000 acres of fish-filled water and is fed by several rivers and their tributaries - the Osage River, the Big and Little Niangua arms, Gravois Arm and Grand Glaize Arm - so there is plenty of fishing fun for everyone. Crappie, bass and catfish are the most common catches, but other species, like walleye and bluegill, await anglers as well. Fishing is fun at the Lake for both serious sport fishers and casual enthusiasts of all age and skill levels. "If you're interested in catching your daily limits of large and small mouth bass, white bass, crappie and catfish, the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks provides a wonderful opportunity to accomplish that. Some of our family's fondest memories were created with one-on-one time fishing with our children," Jim Divincen, administrator for the Lake of the Ozarks Tri-County Lodging Association, said. Anytime is a great time for crappie fishing at the Lake of the Ozarks. Spring means spawning in the shallows at the Lake and nearly everyone can cast a minnow and bobber into the water and catch fish. In the summer, you'll have to fish in deeper waters or try night fishing for the best success. Dock fishing is great in fall, when crappie like to stay in tighter schools near the structures. Don't put away the tackle in the winter, either, as a number of the Lake area's smaller family-owned resorts offer heated fishing docks, perfect for catching crappie when the weather turns cooler.
If bass are your target, the Lake of the Ozarks has plenty of largemouth, white and spotted, all of which can be caught year-round. In spring and fall, the Missouri Department of Conservation suggests the use of topwater baits, plastic worms, jigs, crankbaits and spinnerbaits. Winter is an excellent time to catch bass by slowly fishing jerkbaits off points or pea gravel banks. Spring and fall bass and crappie tournaments offer big purses, making a fun day on the water very profitable, as well. "We know
about catching big fish in Central Missouri. We're blessed to have one of the top fisheries in the entire country here at the Lake of the Ozarks, hosting more than 500 fishing tournaments annually, primarily in the spring and fall," Divincen said. "We're also home to three of the BassMaster Classic Winners, Denny Brauer, the first ever fisherman to be featured on the Wheaties Box, and father and son winners Guido and Dion Hibdon." Channel, blue and flathead catfish all can be found at the Lake
of the Ozarks. The best months for catching channel catfish are April through September, according to the Department of Conservation, though blue catfish remain active later into the fall and can be caught year-round. Blue catfish tend toward the open water, so fishing in the mouths of coves and deep flats brings the best success. To catch channel catfish, keep bait on or near the bottom and stay near the shoreline. Use live bait and stay near large boulders or woody cover to land flathead catfish. The Lake of the Ozarks has
made a point of providing topnotch services for anglers for decades. Public launching sites are available in the Lake area's two state parks - Lake of the Ozarks State Park and Ha Ha Tonka State Park - as well as at full-service marinas and resorts around the Lake. Many of the same marinas and resorts offer boat rentals. Fishing guides make for a relaxing and effortless fishing experience. With one call, you can book these professionals, who will take you to the Lake's fishing "hot spots," and will also provide the boat and all the equipment needed for the excursion. Fishing licenses are required for most anglers in Missouri. For more information, or to apply online, visit the Missouri Department of Conservation at www.mdc.mo.gov/permits. Whether you're fishing with your buddies or your family, your time off the water can be as enjoyable as the time you spend fishing. The Lake of the Ozarks has activities and events for every age and interest. To learn more about these, plus dining and accommodations options, call the Lake of the Ozarks Convention and Visitor Bureau (CVB) at1-800FUN-LAKE, or visit the CVB's award-winning website at www. FunLake.com.
A variety of fish inhabit the Lake of the Ozarks, making it the perfect destination for fishermen. Photos courtesy of The Beenders-Walker Group.

Religion briefs Romanian mountain Ice Church draws all types of Christians
BALEA LAC, Romania (AP) — High on a remote mountain in Romania, priests have blessed a church made entirely from ice, outstanding both for its architectural style as well as being a place for religious tolerance. Builders have once again created the Ice Church, which is only reachable by cable car at an altitude of 2,000 meters (6,600 feet). Water from Balea Lake, 300 kilometers (190 miles) northwest of Bucharest, is blessed by priests. Chunks of ice are then cut with a chain saw and cemented together with water and snow. The structure — 6 meters (20 feet) tall, 14 meters (46 feet) long and 7 meters (23 feet) wide — is a copy of an old church in Transylvania. Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant clerics held a service there this week. Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant clerics held a service there this week. Relations between the different Christian churches in Romania have been strained over the years due to disputes relating to church ownership. The communists seized churches in 1945, which were then given to the Romanian Orthodox Church. Some have not been returned to other denominations.
But Ioan Crisan, an Eastern Rite Catholic priest, said the Ice Church was a place to set aside religious differences.
Portugal approves citizenship plan for Sephardic Jews
LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Portugal is following Spain and granting citizenship rights to the descendants of Jews it persecuted 500 years ago. The government approved Thursday a change to its nationality law that provides dual citizenship rights for Sephardic Jews — the term commonly used for those who once lived in the Iberian peninsula. Spain adopted a similar law last year Applicants will be vetted by Portuguese Jewish community institutions, as well as by government agencies. After Spain drove out Jews in 1492, some 80,000 of them crossed the border into Portugal, historians estimate. Portugal's monarch initially offered them shelter, but four years later demanded they convert or leave. When they started leaving, his successor King Manuel I prohibited their departure and forced them to convert, becoming so-called New Christians.

Bill Roseberry/The Edge
Above, the peanut bacon burger. Below, grilled asparagus.
The Huddle Bar and Grill in Caseyville By BILL ROSEBERRY Of The Edge My mission to find the next delectable stop for “You gotta eat” took me to Huddle Bar and Grill. Located at 1101 Caseyville Rd. in Caseyville, just around the corner from Collinsville High School, the Huddle Bar and Grill recently celebrated its one year anniversary and in my estimation its the first of many. I whipped up an impromptu dinner party and visited Huddle Bar and Grill on a week night, so it wasn't too crowded. When you walk in you can immediately categorize it as a simple sports bar. There are a few televisions on the wall displaying sporting events, a large bar in the middle and some tables and chairs off to the left for additional seating. Huddle Bar and Grill also includes a small patio on the side of the building, but due to my January visit there weren't any patrons using it. It's family friendly, good for kids, and offers enough room to support a decent sized dinner party. A nice beer and liquor selection, with a few distinct craft beer choices, it's when you get to the menu you find out what Huddle Bar and Grill really has on the docket. From gourmet burgers, to steak kabobs, to grilled asparagus, it's not your run of the mill bar food. On my visit my dinner soirée was comprised of six people, none of which went away displeased. I like to try and do a little research before I delve into a food review, peruse the menu beforehand and know what I'm up against and with Huddle Bar and Grill I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the menu items. I of course started with the appetizer menu and for those of you that have read multiple entries from “You Gotta Eat” know that I don't always select the healthiest of choices. Most of the time that is my personal preference, but sometimes it's because I don't have healthy choices. That was not the case at Huddle Bar and Grill. Immediately I took notice of the grilled asparagus offered as an appetizer. Served with
a creamy balsamic sauce, the presentation for this menu starter was definitely not that of bar quality, it was much classier. But trust me, this delicious selection was more than just good looks. The balsamic sauce was thick, almost syrupy, drizzled over the asparagus and added a sensational flavor blast with each bite. The asparagus was tender and fresh, too. It was a healthy way to start my meal. For my main dish I went with the peanut
bacon burger. This is a culinary creation I've always wanted to try, but never had before visiting Huddle Bar and Grill. It was simply a half pound hamburger patty with bacon and peanut butter lathered on and served on a pretzel bun. My buddy John has tried burgers made this way before and explained how the taste of the peanut butter blends into the burger. It sounds weird, but he is absolutely right. It doesn't change the flavor of the hamburger or bacon,
February 19, 2015
but the texture. Everything becomes creamier with the peanut butter. It was absolutely delicious. The big flavor from the pretzel bun added to the experience, too. My burger was accompanied with a side of French fries, too. They were OK, but I quickly realized I should have splurged for the extra dollar and gone with the sweet potato fries. Candice, one of the members of my group, got the sweet potato fries with portobello panini. At Huddle Bar and Grill the sweet potato fries are covered with honey. It's something I've never seen, but wow what an addition. I pilfered a couple from Candice's plate and they definitely didn't disappoint. Candice also liked her panini, made with sauteed portobello mushrooms, roasted red peppers, red onion and basil pesto. The rest of the group was happy with their meals, too. Rob also went with the peanut bacon burger, but got homemade chips for his side and raved about them. John went with the huddle burger, comprised of applewood smoked bacon, smoked provolone cheese, grilled onions and a fried egg on a burger and served on a pretzel bun. His only complaint was how messy it was, but as far as taste he said it packed a wallop. Michelle went with the teriyaki chicken kabobs and Joe ordered the steak kabobs served with grape tomatoes on the ends. Both selections came with homemade chips and Michelle and Joe were both happy with their choices. As for price, Huddle Bar and Grill is very reasonable. My food order was $12 before tax and filled me up. Of course we all ordered a few beers and hung out for awhile. The service was impeccable and it's definitely a place where I would return. I'd like to check out the cheesy jalapeno hash brown bites off the appetizer menu. It's not a big menu at Huddle Bar and Grill, but it's obvious they take pride in it. Though they don't have a website, you can follow them on Facebook, or you could just stop by and check it out. It's a great spot to visit when you gotta eat.

Dining Delights Do we need apps in the kitchen? By MICHELE KAYAL Associated Press A few years ago, former video game executive Kevin Yu was cooking for a girlfriend on Valentine's Day when he discovered he'd forgotten the mushrooms for the mushroom soup. But that was just the start. He'd also lost track of timing on the various dishes, and he was just generally making a mess of things. "I was trying to whip up a three course meal at the last minute and it ended up a disaster," Yu says. "She didn't leave me because of the cooking, but the cooking didn't help." But does it surprise you that these days there's an app for that? The cooking part, anyway. Yu is the founder of SideChef, a cooking app that supplements recipes with social media and aims to help home cooks avoid disasters like his. It's one of thousands of apps that offer recipes, step-by-step videos, measurement conversion, timers, shopping lists and other elements meant to simplify our lives in the kitchen. But while apps have commandeered so many aspects of our lives, tracking our fitness, our sleep, our banking, our navigation, they have been slow to take over our kitchens. "They haven't blown up yet," says Harrison Weber, news editor at VentureBeat.com, an online magazine that covers technology innovation. "It hasn't hit a tipping point in terms of usefulness and market need." Digital cookbooks have notoriously failed in the publishing world, and account for a minuscule percentage of total cookbook sales. But developers argue that apps are not just another platform for digital recipes. Apps, they say, offer convenience, portability and, at their best, a new way of interacting with the information. Some of the earliest cooking apps were extensions of popular cookbooks. In 2011, baking expert Dorie Greenspan helped create a companion app to her book "Baking with Dorie" that used video to walk users through the recipes. P o r t l a n d , O re g o n - b a s e d a p p developer Culinate offers similarly interactive apps for books such as Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything." The most popular apps today are the ones that build on trends, such as gluten-free or vegan recipes, says Fiona O'Donnell, a lifestyles analyst at Chicago-based market research firm Mintel, or on products that already have a large following, such as Allrecipes.com and Epicurious.com. The Food Network's "In the Kitchen" app, which features recipes and videos from the network's celebrity chefs, boasts more than 5 million downloads. Many cooking and other apps also follow the principles of "gamification," applying the social media, buildyour-own environment and other principles of video games. Yu, a former community development executive for the game World of Warcraft, says his SideChef app will offer similar aspects of community. But apps won't change the way we shop, cook and eat, say analysts and app developers, until they fully integrate every step of the process, from deciding what to make, to delivering a recipe, its ingredients and "smart" appliances with which to cook it. "People want to integrate everything in their lives," says Mintel's O'Donnell.
20
"In the smart home you have your refrigerator that tells you what food you have, when your milk is going to expire. The next evolution will be a cooking app that can integrate with your other household appliances or neighborhood. 'Here's a great recipe, and here's where you can get the ingredients.' That will be next tech evolution." Such change is already beginning. The recipe website Yummly.com has connected its app with the online
grocery delivery service Instacart to allow consumers to choose a recipe and have the ingredients delivered to them in an hour or less. Other apps have begun syncing with individual appliances. The Prep Pad, a Bluetooth-enabled scale by The Orange Chef Co., links to an app that displays in real time the calories and other nutritional information of every item you're loading onto your plate or into your spaghetti sauce.
