People People planner World War I art exhibit open

Wa r l o o k s d i ff e re n t , b e f o re you’re in it.

In 1914, as Europe lumbered optimistically to battle, a proxy fight was joined in the pages of popular media. Combatant nations, seeking cultural as well as military dominance, deployed visual propaganda to rally support and attack enemies.

Yet as the death toll mounted, a generation of artists, many of whom served in uniform, sought new artistic languages to convey the grief and horror they had witnessed.

T h i s f a l l , t h e Mi l d re d L a n e Kemper Art Museum at Wa s h i n g t o n U n i v e r s i t y i n S t .

Louis will present “World War I: War of Images, Images of War.” Drawn primarily from the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles, where it debuted in fall 2014, t h e e x h i b i t i o n f e a t u re s m o re than 150 objects that together chart a chronological path from exuberant outbreak through years of grinding combat and into the long, unsettled aftermath.

The exhibit will be on display through Jan. 4.

Included are paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, illustrated journals, correspondence from the front and other materials by artists such as Max Beckmann, Umberto Boccioni, Georges Braque, Otto Dix, Natalia Goncharova, George Grosz, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Käthe Kollwitz, Fernand Léger and Kazimir Malevich.

War of Images The exhibition opens with “War of Images,” which explores how different nations sought to elevate their own cultural symbols while denigrating the supposed national traits — German barbarism, British imperialism, French decadence, Russian cowardice — of opponents.

F re n c h a r t i s t J e a n C o c t e a u , whose health prevented enlistment but who later drove a Red Cross ambulance, co-founded the journal Le Mot (“The Word”) with designer Paul Iribe. The cover of their second issue depicts Kaiser Wilhelm II as the German hero Lohengrin, but wittily replaces the knight’s legendary swan boat with a red, grasping crayfish.

C o n v e r s e l y, t h e G e r m a n magazine Simplicissimus, a longtime government critic, now voiced patriotic support.

A striking cover from October 1914 — by Thomas Theodor Heine, who’d once been jailed for caricaturing the Kaiser — shows a colonial Englishman, pith helmet ajar, clutching precariously at a blood-soaked globe.

Other works play on visual codes such as the Russian bear and the French Marianne. A series of rarely seen images by avantgarde artist Kazimir Malevich and poet Vladimir Mayakovsky, modeled on popular Russian prints known as lubki, depict idealized peasants in traditional costume fearlessly routing enemy troops.

Images of War But for witnesses on the ground, arguments about cultural superiority quickly paled.

“Images of War,” the exhibition’s second section, collects artworks, letters, diaries and other first-

person accounts that demonstrate the yawning gap between rhetoric and the reality of battle.

S y m b o l i s t H e n r y d e G ro u x , who fled Belgium just ahead of German invasion, captures the air of menace with his dark and s w i r l i n g “ G re n a d e T h ro w e r, ” from the series “Le visage de la victoire” (1914-16). In “The Trench” (1915-16), Swiss-born artist Félix Vallotton depicts a line of French soldiers, only helmets and bayonets visible, a s t h e e a r th e xp lo de s b e hind them.

A never-before-exhibited war diary by futurist Umberto Boccioni, who died in 1916, details a tumultuous period on the Italian front. The expressionist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, who was deeply scarred by his time in the German Army — and whom, decades later, the Nazi’s would brand a “degenerate artist” — drew the Apocalypse on the backs of cigarette boxes.

Also included are rare examples of handmade “trench art,” with which soldiers memorialized their units and the battles they fought.

These range from painted helmets and an engraved canteen to small objects made from shell casings.

Aftermath The final section, “Aftermath,” opens with celebrations of armistice and photographs of jubilant French crowds. Yet even

for Allies, victory was pyrrhic.

F e r n a n d L é g e r, w h o b a r e l y survived mustard gas, fills his illustrations for Blaise Cendrars’ “J’ai tué” (“I Have Killed”) (1918) with rifles, helmets and fractured war matériel.

The Germans Max Beckmann, Otto Dix and George Grosz spent years coming to terms with their experiences, with Dix in particular returning obsessively to the subject. In addition to several prints, the exhibition features re c o rd i n g s , m a d e i n 1 9 6 3 , i n which Dix discusses his time as a machine-gunner on the Western front.

But the costs of combat are not paid by soldiers alone. Käthe K o l l w i t z ’ s s o n , P e t e r, w a s a student in Berlin when fighting began. He quickly enlisted and died in Flanders — the first of his regiment to fall. A decade later, the grieving mother completed “Seven Woodcuts about the War” (1924), a searing testament to the anguish of those left behind. As Kollwitz would write to one of Peter ’s comrades, himself later killed at Verdun: “There is in our lives a wound which will never heal. Nor should it.”

“World War I: War of Images, Images of War” is organized by the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. Works are drawn primarily from the Getty archives,

with loans from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Washington University’s Modern Graphic History Library; and private collections.

The St. Louis iteration features additional works from the Saint Louis Art Museum, the Kemper Art Museum and local private collections.

It is curated by Karen K. Butler, associate curator of the Kemper Art Museum.

An opening reception will take place at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11.

The exhibition will remain on view through Jan. 4, 2016.

Boeing to be presenting sponsor of 2016 Spirit of St. Louis Air Show

The Boeing Company will be the presenting sponsor of the 2016 Spirit of St. Louis Air Show and STEM Expo in honor of the company’s 100th anniversary next year.

The Spirit of St. Louis Air Show & STEM Expo will be held on May 14-15, 2016, and will be headlined by performances by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels flight demonstration squadron, flying the St. Louis-built Boeing F/A-18 Hornet, and many other flight performances and staticaircraft displays.

The event’s popular STEM

Expo highlights the science, technology, engineering and math initiatives of academic, business and not-for-profit institutions in the St. Louis area and inspires youth to pursue these important areas. Also featured is the Veteran Village, which provides a venue where key resource providers can share valuable information and connectivity for military members who have recently or will soon return to civilian life.

“Boeing is tightly woven into the fabric of aviation heritage in the St. Louis region and is a leader in promoting the high-technology resources of our communities,” said John Bales, president of the Spirit of St. Louis Air Show & STEM Expo and Spirit of St. Louis Airport director. “We appreciate the support and confidence of this fine company and are proud to once again have the Boeing name associated with this event.”

The Spirit of St. Louis Air Show & STEM Expo and the Blue Angels return to the area after the previous air show in May 2014.

“The Blue Angels exemplify the dedication and excellence of the men and women who serve our country in our armed forces, as well as the tremendous aerospace workforce here in St. Louis,” said Megan Davies, Boeing director of Global Corporate Citizenship.

“We are pleased to be part of this event, which salutes not only those who serve and who have served our nation, but also the many organizations, including B o e i n g , t h a t a re i n v e s t i n g i n quality STEM education to ensure our nation and region remain strong.”

The Blue Angels perform before an estimated 11 million spectators each show season. The 2014 Spirit of St. Louis Air Show & STEM Expo attracted more than 125,000 people to the event, with many more watching from surrounding vantage points.

The 2016 show season will mark the Blue Angels’ 70th anniversary of its first demonstration in Jacksonville, Fla., in 1946.

The Spirit of St. Louis Air Show & STEM Expo is a 501(c)3 not-forprofit organization.

"Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine"

Was Steve Jobs a brilliant visionary whose singular mind, capable of blending art, technology and commerce as never before, inspired the world to "think different" and changed the way we live?

Or was he a ruthless businessman who treated co-workers callously, took credit for the work of others, and often acted out of jealousy and spite?

Documentarian Alex Gibney is known for pulling no punches when it comes to his subjects, most famously Scientology in his recent "Going Clear." And so it should come as little surprise that in "Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine," he comes down heavily on that second, darker image of the Apple CEO. Even if you haven't read much of the copious material out there on Jobs, who died in 2011, you'll know some of this, especially his early attempt to dispute paternity of his first child, Lisa, even as he was raking in millions. But though Gibney doesn't seem to come up with anything truly groundbreaking, there's surely more negative stuff here — and lots more detail — than you've encountered before.

With this, Gibney, a skilled filmmaker, has little trouble holding our attention for more than two hours. But he raises another tantalizing question, and then doesn't really do enough to answer it: What does our collective adulation of Jobs and his creations say about US? Perhaps it was all too much for one movie.

The film begins, wisely, with the stunning reaction to Jobs' death of pancreatic cancer, similar to the grief that erupted with the passing of John Lennon — only expressed in 2011 technology. We see the makeshift shrines outside Apple stores, and the ubiquitous hashtag #iSad. A young boy explains, incredulously: "He made EVERYTHING!" On the news, Diane Sawyer speaks of "a global wake."

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "some language."

RUNNING TIME: 127 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"Sleeping With Other People"

Poor romantic comedies. Even our criticisms of them have grown stale.

"They're not as good as they used to be," we moan, yearning for some purer time when we didn't know the time-tested beats, the inevitable outcomes, and the dynamics seemed more attuned to How We Date Now. Even the character types have started to become one big blur of clichés.

How refreshing, then, that "Sleeping With Other People" gives the form a solid adrenaline boost by managing to both operate within the comforting constraints of "When Harry Met Sally's..." can men and women be friends premise, and still be its own unique, modern creation. Writer-director Leslye Headland, as a follow up to the bawdy girls' night out film "Bachelorette," accomplishes this by getting the sex out of the way first, and then making it off limits.

Headland knows that the litmus test is not the theoretical happy ending, but the characters — and Jake (Jason Sudeikis) and Lainey (Alison Brie) prove to be some fascinating specimens. We meet them in college, where they lose their virginity to each other in a harried one night stand on a New York rooftop and then again a decade or so later in a meeting for sex addicts.

Neither are actually sex addicts, at least in the clinical sense.

But Lainey can't seem to stop cheating on her boyfriends with one old flame (Adam Scott), and Jake cheats as a way out of relationships he's too scared to end with a normal breakup.

"Time Out of Mind"

"Spare change? Any spare change?" The man holding the cup in the street looks, from a distance, like just some guy in a wool cap, formless parka and rumpled pants.

Only this is Richard Gere, and if you looked a little closer, you'd recognize those silver-haired good looks and that chiseled face. And those people on the streets in "Time Out of Mind" are actual New Yorkers who often walked by the movie star, oblivious, as director Oren Moverman was shooting, proving — if it needed to be proven — that we don't really look at homeless people among us, even if we're handing them a few quarters.

But Gere's character, George, also clearly has no desire to be looked at. He seems to wish he could be invisible.

And in this almost documentary-style portrait of a homeless man — clearly a labor of love for Gere, who's also a producer here — the actor succeeds in moving us deeply, precisely because he doesn't call attention to himself in an "actory" way. And yet, the cumulative effect is heartbreaking.

Although its plot is sparse, one of the things "Time Out of Mind" does best is to convey the sense of stunned befuddlement George feels at his predicament. WE may know that he's a homeless man, but it takes George nearly three-quarters of the movie to actually say, "I'm homeless," and even then, it's more an incredulous question than a statement. It's also one of the clearest things George ever says. The man is living in a permanent haze of confusion.

George wasn't always this way. Slowly, we learn he was once employed, a husband, and a father. But tragedy struck, and eventually he lost his job, his home, his family (he's estranged from his one daughter). When we meet him, he's trying to catch some shuteye in the bathtub of a friend. (The desperate effort to get a few hours of good sleep — when one doesn't own a bed — is one of the film's most depressing motifs.)

RATING: not rated RUNNING TIME: 120 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"Everest"

"Everest" is not an easy movie to watch. No entertainment that contains such tragedy should be.

The truly breathtaking spectacle and technical achievements can make you feel like you too are on a vertical slope at 29,000 feet. But this awe-inspiring movie is also one that's laced with dread, little triumph and even less perspective as you wait, with a knotted stomach, for the disasters to manifest.

"Everest" recounts the events of, and leading up to, May 10, 1996, when a series of controversial decisions and a heap of bad luck led to the deaths of 8 climbers — then the deadliest day in Everest history.

It is not, however, based on the most famous account, journalist Jon Krakauer's book "Into Thin Air." It's an amalgamation of stories, reports and never-before-heard tapes from the day, focused mostly though on Adventure Consultants lead Rob Hall (Jason Clarke), and Texan climber Beck Weathers (Josh Brolin).

Krakauer is a character in "Everest," ("House of Cards'" Michael Kelly), but a peripheral, underdeveloped one. His presence as a journalist covering the expedition frames the growing tension between customer service and safety inherent in the commercialization of adventure. The script also uses

September 24, 2015

him as a "why climb" observer. He can bluntly ask what the audience is thinking, and he does at one point. The scene goes nowhere, though. The other characters crack wise or choose silence, as though the desire to climb Everest is so unexplainable. "Because it's there," they say.

So when a handful of climbers do make it to the peak, it's harder to feel their euphoria. All we can see is looming death.

That's part of the problem of "Everest." All the elements are there, but the emotions never land — even with the inclusion of previously private conversation between Rob Hall and his pregnant wife Jan (Keira Knightley) as his plight atop the mountain becomes direr.

The large ensemble cast is packed with recognizable faces — Clarke, Brolin, John Hawkes, Jake Gyllenhaal, Emily Watson, Knightley, Sam Worthington, and on and on. It can be distracting, but perhaps it is the only way to truly orient an audience with who's who. There's not a lot of time to get to know the individuals before their faces are obscured with ski masks and goggles and they're reduced to, and dependent on, our ability to recall the color of their snowsuits.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "intense peril and disturbing images."

RUNNING TIME: 121 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.

"Black Mass"

Shakespeare had his tortured Hamlet, his ambitious Macbeth, his malevolent Iago, his warring Montagues and Capulets.

But what would the Bard have done with the tale of James "Whitey" Bulger, and all the supporting players around him?

There was Whitey himself, at first a minor criminal who became one of the most feared crime bosses in history, ruling his turf for two decades and evading capture for nearly two more. There was his brother, Billy, who grew up in the same home in the "Southie" section of Boston but became one of the state's most powerful politicians. There were the feuding Boston mob and Bulger's Winter Hill gang. Then the FBI agent whose efforts to gain Bulger's cooperation led to his own undoing.

And the FBI itself, which ended up protecting Bulger for years and facilitating his murderous rise.

Yes, Shakespeare would have had a field day. And so does Hollywood, namely director Scott Cooper and a top-flight ensemble led by Johnny Depp in a performance that reminds us, after a string of uninspiring movies, why he's one of our most compelling actors. Yes, Depp is excellent. But the star attraction here? That's the stunning story itself.

"Black Mass," with a taut and effective screenplay by Mark Mallouk and Jez Butterworth, is based on the book by Boston Globe reporters Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neil (they make a brief appearance here). It begins with police interviews of Bulger's aging henchmen, then quickly flashes back to 1975.

We meet Bulger as he's asserting control of the Winter Hill gang, which is engaged in a bitter turf war with the Angiulo family.

Luckily for Bulger, a childhood friend has arrived back in town — John Connolly, an ambitious FBI agent. Connolly (a terrific Joel Edgerton — and this Aussie nails the Boston accent, too) figures the way to make headway quickly is to bring his old pal into the fold as an informant. He first goes to Billy, a state senator (a fine Benedict Cumberbatch), who coldly rebuffs him. Then he goes directly to Jimmy. "You know what I do to rats, John?" Bulger says at first. Connolly replies: "It ain't rattin,' Jimmy. It's an alliance." When Jimmy agrees, he rationalizes it thusly: "They protect us, and we do whatever the (expletive) we want."

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "brutal violence, language throughout, some sexual references and brief drug use."

Modernizing the rom-com

By LINDSEY BAHR Associated Press P o o r ro m a n t i c c o m e d i e s . E v e n o u r criticisms of them have grown stale.

"They're not as good as they used to be," we moan, yearning for some purer time when we didn't know the time-tested beats, the inevitable outcomes, and the dynamics seemed more attuned to How We Date Now. Even the character types have started to become one big blur of clichés.

Writer-director Leslye Headland, as a follow up to the bawdy girls' night out film "Bachelorette," accomplishes this by getting the sex out of the way first, and then making it off limits.

Headland knows that the litmus test is not the theoretical happy ending, but the characters — and Jake (Jason Sudeikis) and Lainey (Alison Brie) prove to be some fascinating specimens. We meet them in college, where they lose their virginity to each other in a harried one night stand on a New York rooftop and then again a decade or so later in a meeting for sex addicts.

Neither are actually sex addicts, at least in the clinical sense. But Lainey can't seem to stop cheating on her boyfriends with one old flame (Adam Scott), and Jake cheats as a way out of relationships he's too scared to end with a normal breakup.

So Lainey and Jake decide, despite their mutual attraction and history, to be just friends. It is, quite simply, the story of two people who are prone to self-sabotage, falling in love and trying their hardest not to act on it. They are arrested development personified.

B u t t h i s i s n o e x e rc i s e i n p r u d i s h innocence. Sex is there. It's everywhere actually, and not just in innuendo. There

is a scene involving a green tea bottle that definitely provides a bold update to Meg Ryan's famous performance in that deli.

Some might be troubled by the fact that their exploits during this emotional relationship phase are not, you might say, equal. Jake gets to date and sleep with many other people. Lainey doesn't.

We're told this is her choice. That she can only recover by abstaining. When she does decide to go out with someone (a doofy single dad), Jake gets flustered and doesn't want to hear about it. Lainey, with her doe eyes and acerbic, suffer no fools attitude, calls out Jake's hypocrisy even if the movie might be abusing the idea that this is a choice to keep her character more pure.

But ultimately, their dynamic works, despite the faint alarm of outmoded gender expectations. Sudeikis and Brie have an easy, heady chemistry — although it does take a bit of imagination to accept them (7 years apart in real life) as college contemporaries. They make Lainey and Jake,

despite their flaws and occasionally annoying tendencies, people you want to spend time with. Sudeikis' default smarm is subdued and flipped into something approximating charm. You don't have fall in love with either, because you understand why they like each other.

The supporting characters are almost non-entities, save for Jake's married friends (played by Jason Mantzoukas and Andrea Savage), who steal every scene they're in.

Amanda Peet, too, has her moments as one of Jake's prospects, but she's more plot device than character.

In the end, this isn't exactly a portrait of modern dating. This is a fantasy world, where even a kindergarten teacher has a spacious New York apartment and scores of expensive outfits. And yet, despite the glossy, wholly unbelievable magazine quality of life here, "Sleeping With Other People," both entertains and packs a startlingly solid emotional core.

The rom-com is not dead, in Headland's hands at least.

"Straight Outta Compton" earns high marks

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge I’m taking you back a couple of weeks in my review for you, something I don’t make a habit of doing. Call it oversight, blame it on hectic scheduling, or just call it my own callous indifference, but I finally got around to seeing “Straight Outta Compton” and the picture deserves better than my casual dismissal. It’s a well-made biopic that features topical content that seems very fresh to me, despite the majority of the events in it taking place earlier than my memory of the time goes back. A look at the formation of rap ensemble N.W.A. and a closer depiction of their key members, “Compton” is a hard and cruel look at what the state of America was in the middle 1980s and how, for many in poverty, nothing has changed all that much.

Eric “Eazy-E” Wright (Jason Mitchell) was a small time dope slinger in the Compton neighborhood of Los Angeles when the idea was broached to him by friend O’Shea “Ice Cube” Jackson (played by the rapper ’s own doppelganger son, O’Shea, Jr.) that they use some of the money that was flowing in to get out of the drug business and start examining what they could do on the music scene.

Cube had been writing lyrics for a while by that point and performing sets on the down-low at various clubs where he could get his foot in the door.

They knew it was simply a matter of time before the crack cocaine epidemic claimed their lives, likely by rival gunfire, or ended them in jail for the rest of their days. Andre “Dr. Dre” Young (Corey Hawkins) was another member of their crew and he was ready to do his part to better his own life after finding himself essentially

homeless when his mother threw him out. His musical aspirations were as high as they could be.

The trio united with other performers that were on the scene, specifically Antoine “DJ Yella” Carraby (Neil Brown, Jr.) and Lorenzo “MC Ren” Patterson (Aldis Hodge) to selfrelease their first bona fide hit, “Boyzin-the-Hood” (which is hard not to confuse with Ice Cube’s later film of the same name, I’d bet, by design).

The notoriety that the single achieved brought into the mix Jerry Heller (Paul Giamatti), a low-level record producer that worked with N.W.A. throughout much of their storied and troubled careers. He helped make hits out of songs whose titles I can’t write out in this publication. Heller was equal parts loyal agent (especially for Eazy-E, the early frontman) and boisterous rabble-rousing succubus, undermining the financial stability of the group until

the end. What makes “Straight Outta Compton” so entertaining as a biopic – further than the enduring music – is that it broadens the look in the second half of the film beyond just N.W.A. and their hardships (Wright’s battle with HIV, Young’s loss of a sibling to L.A. hyper-violence) onto the scope of hip hop music as a rebellious and booming industry full of some solid heavyweight acts. Snoop Dogg (Keith Stanfield) and Tupac Shakur (Marcc Rose) have lengthy cameos, showing how interconnected this world was at the time. All of the key players knew each other. And many of them hated each other. East Coast-West Coast feuds were no joke in about 1991 and I have to look no further than R. Marcos Taylor’s excellent portrayal of Suge Knight in this movie to know the depth to which violence is inspiration not just for his Death Row Records, but for all rap in general.

September 24, 2015

“Straight Outta Compton” is directed by F. Gary Gray and produced by – among others –Dr. Dre and Ice Cube themselves. These facts alone should give you pause to know that many of the details in the stories are factual and some simply flattering. I don’t know at this point how many people remember Dr. Dre being a perpetrator of sexual assault years before selling his Beats headphones to Apple for a billion dollars, but the movie only hints at exploits like that.

The one thing they simply nailed was casting. There’s no shortage of lookalike actors in this movie, but I’ll be if they can’t all perform miracles of their craft, too.

“Straight Outta Compton” runs 165 minutes and is rated R for language throughout, strong sexuality/nudity, violence, and drug use. I give this film three stars out of four.

Religion Religion briefs Ex-bishop who killed cyclist pleads guilty to manslaughter

BALTIMORE (AP) — A former Episcopal bishop has pleaded guilty to manslaughter, drunken driving and leaving the scene of the accident where she killed a cyclist.

Under an agreement with prosecutors, a Baltimore judge will be asked to sentence 58-year-old Heather Cook to 10 years in prison.

Cook, who was then a newly installed bishop in the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland, struck 41-year-old Tom Palermo on Dec. 27 in a bike lane.

Her blood-alcohol content was nearly three times the legal limit.

Cook also admitted to sending text messages while she was driving.

Cook resigned as bishop after charges were filed, and the Episcopal Church revoked her clergy credentials.

Pope speeds up, simplifies process for marriage annulments

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has radically reformed the Catholic Church's process for annulling marriages, allowing for fast-track decisions and removing automatic appeals in a bid to speed up and simplify the procedure.

Francis issued a new law Tuesday regulating how bishops around the world determine when a fundamental flaw has made a marriage invalid.

Catholics must get annulments if they want to remarry in the church, but the process has long been criticized for being complicated, costly and out of reach for many.

The biggest reform involves a new fast-track procedure which can be handled by the bishop himself when both spouses request an annulment. It can also be used when other proof makes a more drawn-out investigation unnecessary.

LONDON (AP) — Queen Elizabeth II has become the longest reigning monarch in British history, surpassing the record of 63 years and 7 months set by her greatgreat-grandmother Queen Victoria more than a century ago.

Elizabeth's reign has coincided with that of seven popes, from Pius XII to Francis.

As the titular head of the Church of England, the queen received John Paul II at Buckingham Palace in 1982 — the first pope to visit Britain for 450 years. She also received Benedict XVI to Britain in 2010.

She has worked with 12 British prime ministers — from Winston Churchill to David Cameron, who was not even born at the time of her coronation — and continues to carry out public engagements and travel at age 89.

Dining Delights The Ege's own Bill Roseberry, famous for his You Gotta' Eat restaurant reviews, has put together his thoughts on a number of local eateries.

Enjoy.

Unkle Munkey's Coin Club 1027 Century Dr. Edwardsville This is the place to be, great food, great beer selections and an outstanding group of old school video games to help you revisit your youth. Check out the chicken wings, they are some of the best around, and the buffalo chicken pizza is the bomb with slice of celery on top and drizzled with ranch dressing. Don't miss out on playing an original pong arcade game while you're there either.

Gulf Shores Restaurant & Grill 215 Harvard Dr. Edwardsville B e p re p a re d t o w a i t w h e n you visit this new hot spot in Edwardsville, but it's worth it. Make sure to check out the gator bites, they are fantastic. It's alligator meat fried in a corn meal breading. The catfish fillets are fried in the same corn meal breading and equally as good. There are also gator tacos and don't miss “Crabby Monday's Crab Leg Special.” A little pricey though.

Chubby's Warehouse Bar & Grille 1022 E. Broadway Alton Cheap and delicious. The burgers are fantastic here and extremely affordable. They also have a good buffalo chicken sandwich and good tacos. Maybe the best thing they offer is their sweet corn nuggets, you can't go wrong with them. It's cash only so make sure you grab some before you go. Only knock is the service could be a little friendlier.

Huddle Bar & Grill 1101 Caseyville Rd. Suite J Caseyville It may look like your average bar, but get a load of the menu and quickly find out it's not. The food is definitely worth a visit. Steak night is a definite time to go. Get a New York strip steak and potato for $9.99. Check out the peanut butter bacon burger, the asparagus in balsamic sauce and the sweet potato fries drizzled with honey, all are delicious choices.

Cunetto's Corner Cucina 114 N. Main St. Edwardsville This hidden little corner Italian restaurant deserves some love. It offers a quaint dining experience in its small setting, great for a date night or low key dinner. The fettuccine carbonara is really tasty and the salads are fantastic. Check out the fried portabella mushrooms on the appetizer menu, too.

Sauce on the Side 903 Pine St. St. Louis If you like calzones and creativity in your food then put this on your food bucket list. They stuff just about anything you can think of inside a calzone, including eggs, salami, pineapples, figs, chorizo, eggplant and zucchini to name a few. Good sauce selections served on the side. Great craft beers available also.

Pirronne’s Pizzeria 1775 Washington St. Florissant

T h e p i z z a h e re i s a m a z i n g .

They use provel cheese and have a slew of ingredients to go on top of their thin crust pies.

During the day they have a great buffet lunch special, which also has a salad bar and soups and appetizers.

Frank’s Restaurant 132 West Macarthur Dr. Cottage Hills It is an extensive menu with all kinds of choices, including breakfast selections, sandwiches, steaks, fish, pasta dishes and it’s cheap. Did I mention that it’s cheap?

1860’s Hardshell Café and Saloon 1860 S. 9th St., St. Louis Soulard A great place to get some Cajun and Creole food and have a good time to boot. It’s split into two sides, with the dining area on one end with great items like crab legs, gumbo, po’ boy sandwiches, red beans and rice and wonderful crab cakes. The other half of the building offers a full bar and live entertainment.

Lotawata Creek Southern Grill 311 Salem Pl. Fairview Heights Fatten yourself up at this joint.

The menu is ridiculously huge and the portions are even bigger. Get your own plate of fries for a side, or a bucket of onion rings. It offers a creative sandwich portion of the menu and great southern-style dishes, try the Mac Daddy Burger.

You won’t go away hungry here, trust me.

Edwardsville This is a great place to grab a steak diinner, that is their signature dish. A good place for a fancy dinner date, the ambience in the dining area is fantastic. It offers extensive breakfast, brunch and dinner menus, but be prepared to pay, it’s pretty expensive.

Sybergs Old Dorsett Rd. Maryland Heights A St. Louis chain restaurant where you can’t go wrong. Check out their awesome selection of pizzas and hot wings and their house-made sauces are fantastic. Be adventurous and try the shark bites, they are delicious.

Johnson’s Corner Restaurant 2000 State St. Alton It’s a great neighborhood bar and restaurant. Sit at the bar and have a few drinks with a friendly staff and patrons. As for the food, get your hands on the best breaded pork tenderloin sandwich ever and check out the monster onion rings, too.

Oriental Spoon 229 Sanatorium Edwardsville A Korean restaurant where you can’t go wrong. The Kimchi is very good as an appetizer and make sure to check out their bulgogi and bap selections. Make sure to ask your server about spiciness levels if you can’t handle hotness very well.

Schiappa’s Italian Restaurant 402 S. Madison St. Lebanon A quiet pizzeria that offers plenty more than just pizza. Make sure to

check out the great calzones on the menu.

Wasabi Sushi Bar 100 S. Buchanan St. Edwardsville If you’re into sushi then this is a good place to check out. Choose from a big selection of rolls, from the California and spicy tuna rolls to great choices like the Batman and the Caterpillar. From unagi (eel), to sea urchin, salmon, shrimp and tuna, it has it all. Order the edamame on the appetizer menu.

Joe’s Pizza & Pasta 4 Club Centre Ct. Edwardsville The sweet tomato sauce makes

this place a treasure. There are plenty of pizza choices for toppings and even without their classic sauce.

Check out the Sicilian to get an olive oil-based sauce, it’s good too. You can dine-in or get delivery here.

J. Gumbo’s 3949 Lindell Blvd., St. Louis Central West End This is a chain restaurant, but it doesn’t feel that way. Check out the St. Louis location at 3949 Lindell Blvd. to get some really good Cajun and Creole food quick and cheap. Make sure to check out the crawfish etoufeé. The menu does a really good job of informing you of spiciness levels.

The Arts EAC to showcase six textile artists

By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge Six female textile artists, connected to each other through their experiences in art education, collaborated for the Innovations in Textiles 9 exhibit four years ago when Artist Pat Vivod pulled the group together for the show.

The Innovations in Textiles event, sponsored by the Craft Alliance in St. Louis, is a regional collaborative event celebrating fiber art. It involves many art events scattered over more than 15 gallery exhibits across the St. Louis metro area.

Vivod, a resident of Troy, has brought this group of women together again this year with only one artist change, as they reunite to present Material Revival at the Edwardsville Art Center.

The Material Revival exhibit runs through October 16.

The exhibit is also in conjunction with this year's Innovations in Textiles 10 event.

When Vivod decided to curate an exhibit for the Innovations in Textiles 9 event, she turned to five other female artist friends to join her.

The six were unique in that all of the women shared a teacher/ student/mentor relationship.

They traded items from each of their studios with the idea of integrating these new items into new works. Vivod noted that the end result of that collaboration four years ago “exceeded all of our e xpe ct a t i on s a n d p rove d to be a tremendous learning experience. At the closing of the show we all pledged to continue the collaboration.”

Now four years later, although one artist dropped out, Vivod has brought together four of the five artists from the original collaboration and invited a new female artist to join this year's collaboration entitled Material

Revival. The exhibit will be on display at the Edwardsville Arts Center in Edwardsville through Oct. 16, but it's also apart of the Innovations in Textiles 10 event.

E r i n C o r k Wo o l f o l k , S a r a h Gillespie (the new partner), Jo Stealey, Laura Strand, and Erin Vigneau Dimick have joined Vivod in creating a whole new body of work involving collaboration with materials from each other's studios.

ironically like a thread that weaves through their backgrounds. Cork Woolfolk has three connections to the Material Revival group. As an undergraduate she studied art education at the University of Missouri where she studied with Stealey. Cork Woolfolk then earned her MFA in studio art/textiles at SIUE where Strand was her professor. Then she worked with Vivod for two summers during grad school to learn about Vivod's natural

dye printing and rusting methods.

Vivod earned an MFA specializing in printmaking, but her interest in textiles began years ago. It was during grad school that she developed alternative and organic printing techniques.

Vivod grew up on a farm and refers humorously that the process behind her art is “reverse farming.”

Using “harvested” materials like tea and tree leaves, wild berries or fermented juices, Vivod pairs them with rusted iron objects to produce permanent color marks on silk. “Since 2007, I have also adapted shibori pole wrapping techniques to broaden the scope of my landscapes and farm stories w h i c h d e v e l o p o rg a n i c a l l y — outdoors, where, as in real farming, the season, temperature, humidity and timing affect the outcome,” Vivod writes about her art.

Vi v o d i n v i t e d h e r f o r m e r p ro f e s s o r S t r a n d , w h o h a s a passion for weaving, to join in the collaboration. Vivod pointed out that Strand not only was a “fantastic mentor and friend” but also was a staunch supporter in Vivod's transition from traditional printmaking to a fiber artist.

In addition to being connected to Cork Woolfolk and Vivod, Strand was also a mentor to Erin Vigneau Dimick.

Vi g n e a u D i m i c k , w h o i s currently head of the University Museum at SIUE, met Cork Wo o l f o l k d u r i n g t h e t i m e Vigneau Dimick ser ved as an adjunct in the SIUE textile department. Vigneau Dimick also recently curated a show at the EAC featuring renowned metalsmith Agnes Pal. Vi g n e a u D i m i c k w i l l b e exhibiting some of the recent work that she has continued to do since 2011 using materials she had left over from the artist swap during the first collaboration.

Stealey, who is head of the fiber program at the University of Missouri, is connected to the

September 24, 2015

group through Cork Woolfolk who introduced her to Vivod.

Due to a demanding work schedule and a very busy personal schedule this year, Stealey, like Vigneau Dimick has made work to display in the show that incorporates materials from the first collaboration in 2011. “She lives and breathes fibers,” Vivod wrote about Stealey. “She is an internationally known basket weaver, book artists, paper maker and has been teaching and serving as head of fibers at University of Missouri Columbia since 1992.”

Strand's artwork in the exhibit will be comprised of processed pecan leaves, silk organza, and gold leaf on 16 panels. “This piece was made earlier this year for an exhibit in Cuba and this is the first time it's been exhibited in the United States,” Vivod noted.

Gillespie, the newest member to the group, was one of Strand's students as she worked on her MFA at SIUE, and she also worked briefly at Vivod's studio. Her work is especially close to Vivod's heart.

Gillespie is a farm girl working to eradicate invasive plants on her family's farm and makes work reflecting those beliefs.

The Material Revival reception takes place Sept. 18 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Edwardsville Arts Center located at 61695 Center Grove Road in Edwardsville. The EAC is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Tuning in Sheldon to welcome Iris DeMent

The Sheldon is pleased to announce the return of Iris D e M e n t , S u n d a y, N o v e m b e r 22 a t 7 : 3 0 p. m. i n t h e p e r fe ct acoustics of the Sheldon Concert Hall.

Singer/songwriter Iris DeMent returns to The Sheldon,

performing music from her new release, The Trackless Woods, an album that sets Russian poet Anna Akhmatova’s words to music.

Born in Arkansas and raised in Southern California, Iris DeMent grew up immersed in gospel and traditional country music.

A late bloomer as an artist - she wrote her first song at the age of 25 - her first release, Infamous Angel, immediately established her as

a promising and talented artist.

Her follow-up recordings, My Life and The Way I Should, were each nominated for a Grammy.

Several of DeMent’s songs have become cultural touchstones including “Let The Mystery Be,” sung as a duet

by David Byrne and Natalie Merchant on MTV Unplugged, a n d “ O u r To w n , ” w h i c h w a s

played over the farewell scene in the series finale of Northern Exposure.

She has recorded and performed with artists such as Ralph Stanley, Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris and Merle Haggard, and sang four duets with John Prine on In Spite of Ourselves.

In 2004, she recorded an

TUESDAY-SATURDAY

album of gospel songs, Lifeline, w h i c h i n c l u d e d h e r re n d i t i o n of “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms,” which the Coen Brothers chose for the closing credits for their 2012 remake of the classic western True Grit.

Music Tuning in “I Love Music”, “Darlin’ Darlin’ Baby (Sweet, Tender, Love)”, “Livin’ For The Weekend” and! “Use Ta Be My Girl.” This success propelled The O’Jays to be the first black vocal group to perform in arenas throughout America during the 70s and 80s.

The O'Jays were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.They were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2005 and honored with BET's Life Time Achievement Award in 2009. In 2013, they were inducted into The Official R&B Music Hall of Fame. Today, the songs of The O’Jays are still being used in many movies commercials and TV shows. “For The Love of Money “continues to be the theme song for “The Apprentice.”

The Fox to welcome Gladys Knight, the O'Jays

​G ladys Night and the O'Jays are coming to St. Louis together in concert, doing full headlining performances on Friday, November 13, 2015 at the Fabulous Fox Theatre.

Tickets are $150, $125, $95, $85, $75, $65, $55 and are on sale online at metrotix.com, by calling 314-534-1111, or in person at the Fabulous Fox Box Office.

The great ones endure, and Gladys Knight has long been one of the greatest. Very few singers over the last fifty years have matched her unassailable artistry. This seven-time Grammy winner has enjoyed #1 hits in Pop, Gospel, R&B and Adult Contemporary, and has triumphed in film, television and live performance.

In her first effort since 2013’s “Another Journey” – Knight’s 8th solo effort – this summer marked the release of “Where My Heart Belongs”, a new inspiration gospel album. Knight is a two-time Grammy winner in the gospel category and recently won an NAACP Image Award for “Outstanding Gospel Album.”

“Another Journey” enjoyed success from the hit “I Who Have Nothing” as well as the up tempo track “Settle,” produced by Randy Jackson, with whom she previously collaborated with on her Grammy-winning album, “At Last.” Knight also enjoyed the success of her song “You and I Ain’t Nothin’ No More” which appeared over the end credits of the critically acclaimed Lee Daniels film "The Butler."

The O'Jays are touring history, a connection to an era and a sound that formed the soundtrack for the lives of several generations. The O’Jays are still hitting the road with the same electrifying energy they’ve had for over 50 years.

Walter Williams and Eddie Levert first met when they were the ages of 6 and 7 respectively. As teenagers in Canton, Ohio, they formed a band originally consisting of Eddie Levert, Walter Williams, William Powell, Bobby Massey and Bill Isles.

In 1963, the band took the name "The O'Jays" in tribute to Cleveland radio disc jockey and over the years several members have changed, but the core, original lead singers Eddie Levert and Walter Williams, continue to front the group. In 1972, Gamble & Huff, a team of producers and songwriters with whom the O'Jays had been working for several years, signed the group to their Philadelphia International label.

With this magic formula, often called The Sound of Philadelphia, The O’Jays scored the first number 1 and million sellers, “Backstabbers.” Subsequently, they succeeded with various chart topping pop and R&B singles. Including “Love Train”, “Put Your Hands Together”, “For The Love of Money”,

The Fox to welcome 2CELLOS

2CELLOS, music’s most electric and dynamic instrumental duo, announce the dates for their North American tour which kicks off in January. They will make stops in 41 cities including Atlanta, New York, Boston, Detroit, Nashville, Los Angeles and Salt Lake City with a stop in St. Louis at the Fabulous Fox Theatre on Thursday, March 31 at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are $59.50, $49.50, $44.50, $34.50 and are available online at metrotix.com, by calling 314-534-1111, or in person at the Fabulous Fox Box Office.

Propelled into international fame in 2011 after their version of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” went viral the Croatian cellists, Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser, continue to wow their fans with dynamic music videos and covers of today’s most classic and popular songs. Most recently their Baroque inspired, yet high octane head-banging video of AC/ DC’s “Thunderstruck” garnered over 45 Million views to date.

The duo returned to their rock roots on their recently released, critically acclaimed, third album Celloverse.

2CELLOS playing style has broken down the boundaries between different genres of music, from classical and film music to pop and rock. They have no limits when it comes to performing live and are equally as impressive when playing Bach and Vivaldi as they are when rocking out.

They have sold out shows around the globe and also performed with Sir Elton John as part of his band, as well as opening his shows to rapturous acclaim.

2CELLOS are the first instrumentalists to be featured on Glee. They have also appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Today Show, The Tonight Show, and The Bachelor Live Wedding Special. Their Sony catalog also includes: 2CELLOS and IN2ITION. Sony Music Masterworks comprises Masterworks, Sony Classical, OKeh, Portrait, Masterworks Broadway and Flying Buddha imprints.

McDonald to appear at The Fox

Michael McDonald will bring his This Christmas, An Evening of Holiday & Hits Tour to the Fabulous Fox Theatre Saturday, November 28 at 8:00 p.m. The night will include some of his hits as well as holiday favorites that will surely put you in the spirit.

Tickets are $125, $95, $80, $65, $55, $45, $35 and are available online at metrotix.com, by calling 314-534-1111, or in person at the Fabulous Fox Box Office.

Two notes. That’s all it takes to recognize the voice of Michael McDonald. Distinctive and soulful, it is one of the most yearningly emotive instruments of our times. To this add formidable songwriting and keyboard skills, and you have an artist who has been a singular musical presence for four decades. From ‘70s-era Doobie Brothers classics such as “What A Fool Believes” and solo hits like “I Keep Forgettin’” through two highly-acclaimed Motown albums, genre-busting guest spots and innovative concept shows, the five-time Grammy Award winning McDonald is both timeless and ever-evolving.

Beyond his music, McDonald has long been an active humanitarian. He has lent his talents and energies to many causes and benefits, including MusiCares, the National Council of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, the 7UP Grammy Signature Schools Program and was part of a star-studded lineup at Kokua For Japan, a concert that raised $1.6 million for tsunami relief.

After moving from his hometown of St. Louis to Los Angeles in the early ‘70s, McDonald honed his talent as a session musician and singer before being invited to join Steely Dan. Over the course of four classic albums, from Katy Lied to Gaucho, McDonald became an integral part of the group’s sound, singing background vocals on FM staples like “Black Friday” and “Peg.” In the mid-‘70s, McDonald joined The Doobie Brothers, helping the band redefine their funky R & B sound as a singer, keyboardist and songwriter on such Top 40 singles as “Takin’ It To The Streets,” “It Keeps You Runnin’,” “Minute By Minute” and “What A Fool Believes.”

His distinct vocal style also made him one of the world’s most sought-after session singers. Beyond his hits with The Doobies, McDonald has lent his voice to records by an A-Z of artists, including Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Elton John, Joni Mitchell, Vince Gill and Grizzly Bear. During the ‘80s and ‘90s, his solo career zoomed from success to success on the wings of evergreen hits like “Sweet Freedom,” “On My Own” (a duet with Patti LaBelle) and the Grammy-winning duet with James Ingram “Yah Mo B There.”
