People Second location to open in downtown Edwardsville By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge Three years ago Restore Decor opened its doors in the rear of New Song Fellowship Church in Edwardsville. The concept of the store was simple yet unique, and it provided a way for volunteers from our community to come together to help raise funds for needy people and causes within our community. The idea was that Restore Decor volunteers would repaint and re-purpose donated furniture and home decorating items each week and then resell them the following week at the store. The proceeds raised would be used primarily to fund a Habitat For Humanity house being built on Grand Avenuein Edwardsville. Occasionally Restore Decor also used a small portion of the funds to help a couple of local individuals who needed help with life-threatening medical care costs. Wi t h a b u s i n e s s m o d e l c o m p l e t e l y dependent on community volunteers, there was no guarantee that the business would thrive, but it has. Restore Decor has grown to the point that it’s expanding and opening a second location at 223 North Main St. in Edwardsville. They hope to open by midOctober. Dana Adams, Volunteer Manager for Restore Decor, recalled the back-story in opening the current Restore Decor which is located in the old chapel of New Song Fellowship church at 111 North Second St. “A lot of people don’t know that Plowsharing Crafts had originally considered moving into the space where we are now at New Song,” Adams explained. “They had been in conversation with the church about the possibility of opening an Illinois location in that space. They decided not to and they opened on Main Street instead. They’ve been in existence for many, many years and are a quite successful nonprofit.” Adams began looking into the now available New Song location. “So when Pastor Dave and I originally spoke about the space I remember thinking, 'Oh my gosh, do you have to be in business for like 30 years to be able to afford a space on Main Street?' That was just like a dream,” Adams added. “I couldn’t even fathom being able to afford a space on Main Street. And it’s not even been three years that he and I had that conversation and we’re there. And we’re going to be right across the street from Plowsharing Crafts. I think that’s just really awesome, and we’re pretty excited about that.” Adams emphasized that they are not moving out of the church location but expanding into two locations, and that they very much appreciate New Song Fellowship Church’s generosity. “I want to make sure that they know how much we appreciate what they have given to us, and how it’s being used to help the community,” Adams stressed. “God has blessed it to the point that we are really able now to pay rent – like real people – and rent a space on Main Street and continue to tithe to them which has been what we have been doing in order to pay our utilities and help them out,” Adams noted. Having the second location will provide much needed additional space. Currently volunteers come to paint and re-purpose donated items every Tuesday and Thursday evening. In order to do this, they first must push back any leftover completed furniture to the perimeter of the store to make space for painting. Then once the freshly painted pieces are dry, they reconvene on Friday night to move the furniture back to the center of the store and re-stage the shop for opening on

For the Intelligencer

Some of the furniture currently available at Restore Decor's 111 North Second St. location. Saturday mornings. Once the new location is open, Adams said that the original Second Street location will become mainly a production facility where donated pieces will be stored and volunteers from the community will come in and paint. “And then we’ll be able to just move our finished pieces directly from there over to our Main Street location which will be our full time show room,” Adams said. The goal is to open the new Main Street location before the last day of the Goshen Market which is Oct. 17 so that they can inform their Goshen Market customers of the new location. But being strictly a volunteer business, the opening date has not been finalized. “That’s our goal, but again we’re all volunteers,” Adams emphasized. And we’re having a little bit of difficulty managing ripping up carpets and painting at the new space and at the same time keeping enough furniture pieces done to keep our current location open. And also work full time.” The fact that all the volunteers also have full-time jobs and other commitments, Adams stressed the importance of gaining more volunteers. Over the last year she has begun reaching out to community civic groups and student groups to ask for assistance. Individuals are also always welcome. “We paint at the current location at 111 North Second St. every Tuesday and Thursday night from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.,” she said. “We welcome anyone from the community to stop by and help. You don’t have to sign up. You don’t have to bring anything.” And although the funds raised in the past three years have gone primarily to the Habitat Humanity house, that project is about to wrap up. As a result, Restore Decor is transitioning to applying its funds to local non-profits

and causes. If a local non-profit wants to arrange to have its volunteers come in for a week to help refurbish pieces, Restore Decor will donate all sales from the following Saturday to the non-profit. S i n c e t h e b e g i n n i n g o f t h e y e a r, Restore Decor has partnered with local organizations Churches on the Streets, Twigs, Chosen to Shine and Parents Now in this manner. To encourage more group volunteering, Restore Decor is hosting a ”Don’t Diss My Dive” contest. Adams explained that idea for the contest came about when fellow Restore Decor organizer Joe Russo found an item while dumpster diving. When he pulled the item off of his truck, Adams’ husband asked, “What in the world is that?” Russo replied, “Hey man, don’t diss my dive.” From that comment, the contest was born. “So the idea is that groups from our community, like the Rotary or EPIC at EHS for example, get together members from their group and find an object – furniture or home décor item – that maybe they’ve gotten out of the trash, at Goodwill or a garage sale that they are willing to donate to Restore Décor, and they re-purpose it with as much creativity as they’d like,” Adams said. “Could be as simple as putting a new coat of paint on it or it can be the most awesome Pinterest idea they’ve been waiting to try.” Restore Decor customers will vote on the “Don’t Diss My Dive” entries and the winning group gets to choose a non-profit organization to receive all the proceeds raised from selling the contest items. Adams is hoping that both adult groups and student groups will participate. “I think that could be a lot of fun for high schools groups or college groups,” she said. “It’s a cool way to hopefully get some new volunteers and raise awareness as we move into the new location.”

October 22, 2015

Judging for “Don’t Diss My Dive” will end at 3 p.m. on Oct. 31 when Restore Decor closes on Halloween day. The winning entry will then be placed in the window of the Main Street location in time for the Halloween Parade. Any group interested in volunteering can contact Adams at 619-980-2018. She can also be reached at restoredecoredwardsville@ gmail.com questions about donating furniture and home décor accessories. In addition, Russo is seeking a few specific volunteers to assist with the completion of the Habitat for Humanity house on Grand Street. Those with concrete and landscaping skills or skilled trim carpenters who would like to volunteer are asked to contact Russo at 618972-7000. Watch the Restore Decor Facebook page for weekly posts of freshly refurbished furniture that will be available each week as well as updates on the Main Street grand opening.

Restore Decor at 111 North Second St. is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Mondays and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays. Although be sure to check the Restore Decor Facebook page for Monday hours during the next few weeks. They will be closing on some Mondays to focus on finishing the Main Street location. The new Main Street hours have yet to be determined and will be dependent upon volunteer support. “We can be open as many days as we have volunteers,” Adams said. “It’s all about community. It’s all about being able to donate things, and keep it local in your community. It’s about being able to volunteer in our community so that the people who shop locally in our community are raising money for people in our community who need help.”

"The Walk"

Can a great third act make a great film? Conventional wisdom would say no. It's silly to spell out, but beginnings and middles are important, too. But if you're going to nail one section, the end isn't a bad place to start. The audience leaves invigorated, and, in a best case scenario, has already forgotten the slog it took to get there. "The Walk," a fictionalized rendering of Philippe Petit's 1974 high-wire stroll between the World Trade Center towers, doesn't entirely disprove the rule, but it certainly makes a seductive case. Director Robert Zemeckis and cinematographer Dariusz Wolski have made a truly extraordinary and breathtaking 40 minutes of cinema, preceded by a mostly forgettable, cloyingly whimsical hour and change. The stunt, which the gang refers to as "the coup," is one for the cinematic ages. Zemeckis and Wolski take the camera to unprecedented angles to make you feel like you are really standing between the 110 story towers. It's an undeniable, sweaty-palmed thrill walking above the clouds with Petit (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt), full of tension and triumph. The final sequence could have been enough for a film, but "The Walk" is more conventional than it might seem. It languishes for too long on origins of Petit's obsession with wire-walking and the high rise towers, playing up his quirkiness and eccentricities for whimsy, not the story. The beginning is shot like a fever dream of top hats, circus tents and unicycles. And, of course, there are the requisite underdeveloped characters — a curmudgeonly mentor (Ben Kingsley) and supportive girlfriend (Charlotte Le Bon) — to accompany him along the way. Gordon-Levitt, sporting fake blue eyes and a thick French accent, embraces the manic showiness and near sociopathy of Petit — an artist with complete tunnel vision. It's an interesting, all-out performance that still doesn't go much deeper than surface level. RATED: PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for "thematic elements involving perilous situations, and for some nudity, language, brief drug references and smoking." RUNNING TIME: Running time: 123 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.

"He Named Me Malala"

Many people know the basic elements of the story of Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teenager who was the youngest person ever to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. But "He Named Me Malala" retells that story in a deft and affecting way. Director Davis Guggenheim, who made the Oscar-winning "An Inconvenient Truth" and the controversial "Waiting for Superman," does some of his most heartfelt work in this tribute to Malala and her entire family. The film opens unexpectedly, with a beautiful animated sequence recounting the legend of the young woman for whom Malala was named, a 19th century freedom fighter against the British in Afghanistan. Elegant pastel drawings are incorporated throughout the film, and although some may feel that the animation is overused, Guggenheim clearly wanted to find ways of filling in some of Yousafzai's story without relying on talking-head interviews. He certainly benefited from the collaboration of Jason Carpenter, a talented young animator. A more troubling choice that Guggenheim made is to tell the story in a non-linear manner. This kind of storytelling has become too faddish in all kinds of movies, and it leads to some unnecessary confusion here. The basic story is compelling: When the Taliban took over Malala's village in the Swat Valley of Pakistan, books and videos were burned, and girls were forbidden any education except religious education. Malala spoke out against this policy, first on a BBC blog and later more publicly, and she was shot in the head by the Taliban at

the age of 15. Miraculously, she survived and was transported to England for surgery. She spent months in the hospital recuperating. Although the left side of her face is partially paralyzed, Malala has become an eloquent spokeswoman for female education, and with her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, she has traveled all over the world as an advocate, in addition to co-authoring the best-selling book, "I Am Malala." All of this information is in the film, but not in chronological order, and this leads to disjointed moments. We see Malala in Kenya and Nigeria before we have a full understanding of her educational mission. Despite these few glitches in storytelling, Guggenheim scored marvelous interviews with Malala and her entire family, including a younger brother who is an uninhibited and engaging imp. The fact that he earned their trust is a tribute to his empathy as a filmmaker. One of the most affecting moments comes when Malala's mother admits that she misses her home in Pakistan. The Yousafzais now live in Birmingham, England. This uprooting of a loving family is one of the prices Malala and her father paid for their outspokenness. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "thematic elements involving disturbing images and threats." RUNNING TIME: 88 minutes.

"Beasts of No Nation"

The story of the child soldier is not one that the movies have been clamoring to tell. What could be gleaned from giving this insidious reality a narrative platform? The hardening of a young soul in this context is not something that can or should be observed casually, after all, and for many it's easier not to look at all. That's why Cary Joji Fukunaga's "Beasts of No Nation" is such a special creation. It evokes the grim misery of war and the plight of these boys while making the experience of watching it almost poetic. It's not exploitative. It's not sentimental. It doesn't cheekily dare you to look (or look away). It is grounded horror shown artfully and purposefully. Based on Uzodinma Iweala's novel of the same name, the film follows a boy, Agu (brilliant newcomer Abraham Attah), from a peaceful and youthfully mischievous life with his family in a West African village deep into his involvement with a group of militant rebels led by the mad, charismatic Commandant (Idris Elba). In the village, Agu and his friends roam and play and hustle soldiers and townspeople. They're trying to sell a television frame without the screen. When the adults furrow their brows, Agu and the boys snap into performance mode, enacting film moments (Kung Fu! 3-D!) in the tiny frame. At home, Agu's older brother torments him, and Agu in turn torments his outof-it grandfather. It's all quite ordinary — boys being boys and whatnot. The immediate appeal of this introduction goes far in making the audience care when everything is stripped away so violently and suddenly. In a harrowing flash, Agu is orphaned, alone and scared when he comes across the rebels, whose colorful, handmade uniforms and decorated hats make them look like a radical sect of Peter Pan's Lost Boys. The Commandant takes to Agu and enlists him in his army. RATING: not rated by the Motion Picture Association of America but contains scenes of graphic violence. RUNNING TIME: 133 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.

"Bridge of Spies"

Steven Spielberg's "Bridge of Spies," much like its misunderstood litigator, is a film that plays the long game. This complex Cold War drama soaked in shadows, blues, greys and furrowed brows, is a slow burn that challenges the audience to trust where it's going. In this fictional rendering of how a Brooklyn insurance

October 22, 2015

lawyer ended up negotiating a high-stakes prisoner exchange at the height of the Cold War, Spielberg and writers Matt Charman and Joel and Ethan Coen toss details at you, shake them all around and piece them back together in the third act, when the form of the puzzle starts to take shape. Only then can you begin to fully appreciate just how lean and purposeful every moment is. Suddenly that seemingly random conversation about clients and incidents from the first act isn't an outlier after all — it means everything. As a first time viewing experience, it's like not realizing you've been playing a game of chess until you've already lost. That's all to say that "Bridge of Spies," which waxes poetic — and occasionally cynically — on patriotism, honor, and duty, echoes in your mind long after the credits roll and begs for a second viewing. On the page, "Bridge of Spies" is the story of everyman James B. Donovan (Tom Hanks), a lawyer and family man who takes on the thankless task of representing Soviet Agent Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance) in a trial, only to then be called on to negotiate his exchange for a detained U.S. soldier on behalf of the CIA. But that's just scratching the surface of this very thoughtful meditation on doing the right thing — embodied in the burgeoning friendship between Abel and Donovan. RATED PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "some violence and brief strong language." RUNNING TIME: 142 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"Room"

Arresting and heartbreaking, wrought with extremes of tension and love, "Room" is as evocative and unforgettable on screen as in the bestselling novel that inspired it. This is the kind of film you never forget you saw. Originally crafted and ingeniously adapted by Emma Donoghue, "Room" burrows itself deep in the mind and becomes a permanent resident. It is a story of the transformative power of childhood innocence and parental love. Tenderly and terrifyingly realized by director Lenny Abrahamson, the film succeeds with quiet camerawork and brilliant performances by its two leads, Brie Larson and 8-yearold breakout talent Jacob Tremblay. Tremblay is Jack, the film's sometime narrator, a little boy who lives with Ma (Larson) in Room: a small, windowless space with gray, soundproof walls. A bed and wooden wardrobe fill one corner; there's also a TV, table, sink and toilet. Jack has never been outside Room's locked door. It's the only place he has ever known, and to him, it's a wonderland. Jack believes Room is all that exists — that trees and dogs and anything else he sees on television is pretend. Ma taught him so. "TV persons are flat and made of colors," Jack says in voiceover. "But me and you are real." For Jack, everything in Room is significant and interesting. Each morning, he greets the sink and wardrobe as though they're friends. Every day, he reads aloud to Ma before they sprint around Room for track practice. On Jack's fifth birthday, they even bake a cake in their tiny toaster oven. He doesn't realize he and Ma are prisoners of Old Nick, the man who knows the code to Room's heavy metal door and comes in at night to make the bed squeak. But now that Jack is five, Ma tells him the truth and plans his escape. For the first half of the film, Room is the only setting. The only people on screen are Jack and Ma. Yet their experiences crackle with energy and intimacy. Larson and Tremblay occupy their characters so completely, their plight becomes painfully real. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for language. RUNNING TIME: 118 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.

At home, Agu's older brother torments him, and Agu in turn torments his out-of-it grandfather. It's all quite ordinary — boys being boys and whatnot. The immediate appeal of this introduction goes far in making the audience care when everything is stripped away so violently and suddenly. In a harrowing flash, Agu is orphaned, alone and scared when he comes across the rebels, whose colorful, handmade uniforms and decorated hats make them look like a radical sect of Peter Pan's Lost Boys. The

Commandant takes to Agu and enlists him in his army. Then they train, they fight, and Agu is reborn as ruthless soldier. But the specifics of the story are almost beside the point. Fukunaga, who wrote, directed and shot the movie, extracts emotion with his camera and Dan Romer's ("Beasts of the Southern Wild") powerful score more than the plot. F u k u n ag a , wh o g ai n e d wi desp rea d attention for directing the first season of HBO's "True Detective," creates subtle milieus that linger in your mind long after the credits have rolled: A village burning in the distant night; a child in a pith helmet trudging coolly through a rusty orange trench, cigarette in hand; a hallucinatory assault that renders the surroundings pink and circuslike. The beauty of Fukunaga's shots, however, are never just for beauty's sake. They lure you into the story and make you watch even as things get bleaker. There are few more rousing scenes than

when the Commandant rallies his soldiers to advance through a village and take a bridge. They chant and get riled up as though they're about to play a sport, before they walk, slowly, confidently and led by an unarmed Elba, and begin mowing down every civilian and soldier in sight. The camerawork might be the flashiest accomplishment, but the performances also give the story power. Attah deserves much credit for his perfectly attuned portrayal of this boy's transformation, aided by an introspective voiceover narration that still sounds like a child's thoughts. The camera rarely leaves his viewpoint, and you wouldn't want it to. Elba, meanwhile, disappears into the Commandant whose evil is inextricably linked with his undeniable magnetism. "Beasts of No Nation" is certainly a worthy debut for Netflix Original Films. The platform democratizes access to a great picture that might have only been available to the arthouse crowd a few years ago. Now, you just have to

"The Walk" takes your breath away By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge For anyone that saw the 2008 Oscar-winning documentary “Man on Wire”, they know that the story of Philippe Petit’s high wire walk between the two towers of the World Trade Center in August of 1974 was an outright act of rebellion and a carefully orchestrated attack on one man’s dream and doing something that could never be duplicated. Petit himself comes across as charming and good-humored, charismatic traits for a Parisian street performer to poses in abundance. That the new feature film version of his greatest feat is earning marginal reviews and has little box office potential is disappointing. Dubbed “The Walk”, the movie is harrowing at times in its own right.

American Everyman actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt portrays the boyish clown as he plans his “coup” over a period of more than a year, after first learning of the towers’ construction in a magazine at his dentist’s office. Philippe had been training for years to conquer the feats of wire walking from a wise mentor (Sir Ben Kingsley) and recruits a team of misfits to help him pull of what is often referred to as the “artistic crime of the century”. His first confidante is Annie (Charlotte Le Bon), his pixie girlfriend who supports his ambition because a focused Philippe is much easier to love than one that is fraught with worry and depression, points that echo throughout the film, but really serve as the only counterpoint to a perfectly exciting and fun picture. Ninety percent of “The Walk” is

prep work, told by Gordon-Levitt’s Petit in first-person narration as he stands atop the torch of the Statue of Liberty (really the only point of fact that seems silly in scheme of what we’re here to watch). JeanLouis (Clement Sibony) and Jeff (Cesar Domboy) help figure how to stretch the heavy gauge wire across between the two buildings, ultimately using a toy bow and arrow set to run a series of lighter ropes and rigging. Albert (Ben Schwartz) and David (Benedict Samuel) are some Americans they recruit late in the game for manpower and to photograph the event. Their inside man is Barry Greenhouse (Steve Valentine), an insurance salesman who works on the 82nd floor of the North Tower and helps them gain entry and a hiding place the night before their

dawn prestige reveals itself. The most entertaining supporting characters is J.P. (James Badge Dale), a relocated Frenchman who becomes the team’s key to New York City and its workings. He’s invaluable in the long run because he knows people like Philippe knows performance art. This movie is directed peerlessly by Robert Zemeckis and it is worth noting that in many locations the famous director (“Forrest Gump”, “Cast Away”) will have four movies in theatres next Wednesday when his “Back to the Future” Triology returns for a one-off marathon celebrating its thirtieth anniversary. He also co-wrote the screenplay based on Petit’s book “To Reach the Clouds”. You can feel his steady hand throughout the movie, especially the last twenty minutes in which the

October 22, 2015

walk takes place high over the streets of Manhattan. Just after daybreak, and facing opposing police officers at every pivot, Philippe makes seven passes between the buildings before calling it a success. The visual of this are so outrageously vivid in IMAX 3D that I was moved to cringing. Vertigo should not attack you when in a seated position, but I felt a mile up when I watched it. The Coup was a moment in time that has been obscured too brutally by the events of 9/11, but you should remember it for the breathtaking triumph that it was. “The Walk” runs 140 minutes and is rated PG for thematic elements involving perilous situations, and for some nudity, language, and brief drug references and smoking. I give this film two and a half stars out of four.

Artwork for "Angel Street (Gaslight)" and "I and You."

Coming to The Rep Performances of "Angel Street (Gaslight)" and "I and You" scheduled

For The Edge The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis presents "Angel Street (Gaslight)" by Patrick Hamilton and directed by Jenn Thompson. One of the true originals of psychological horror, this shadowy mystery runs October 14 – November 8 on the Browning Mainstage of the Loretto-Hilton Center for the Performing Arts. Curtain times are Tuesday at 7 pm; Wednesday-Friday at 8 pm; selected Wednesday matinees at 1:30 pm; Saturday matinees at 4 pm; selected Saturday nights at 8 pm; Sunday matinees at 2 pm; and selected Sunday evenings at 7 pm. Mrs. Bella Manningham is going mad. Confined to an old and dark home in 1880s London, Bella’s suave husband and caretaker, Jack, accuses her of playing wicked pranks and tricks that she can’t recall, tormenting her and making her question her own sanity. Frightened, Bella believes everyone is against her, until one evening when a keen police inspector pays her a visit, shedding light on information that could save her life. Equal parts mystery, psychology and sin, Angel Street is one of Broadway’s longest running plays. The play’s original title also helped to coin the term “gaslighting,” a storytelling device in which a character comes to question his or her sanity. Angel Street features a cast that will be almost entirely new for Rep audiences. Janie Brookshire makes her Rep debut as Bella Manningham. Brookshire’s recent stage credits include a host of prominent Off-Broadway productions, as well as TV appearances on ABC’s Forever and The Good Wife. Clark Scott Carmichael (Jack) appeared in The Rep’s 2014 Studio Theatre production of The Other Place. He’s also made TV appearances on Gotham and House of Cards. Rachel Kenney and Amelia White (in their Rep debuts) play servants Nancy and Elizabeth, respectively. Geoffrey Wade (The Rep’s An Ideal Husband, 1998) rounds out the principal cast as police inspector Rough.

Sunday matinees at 2 pm; and Sunday evenings at 7 pm. Anthony is an effortlessly popular “A” student; Caroline is a prickly cynic, homebound with a serious illness. This unlikely duo sits in Caroline’s room, trying to cobble together a report on Walt Whitman overnight. As they work and procrastinate, argue and compromise, the teens begin to uncover each other’s hidden depths. Full of surprising humor and emotion, "I and You" explores bravery in the face of an uncertain future and the unique, mysterious connections that bind us. "I and You" won the 2014 Harold and Mimi Steinberg/ American Theatre Critics Association New Play Award. Bringing this story to life are two talented Rep newcomers: Danielle Carlacci (Caroline) and Reynaldo Piniella (Anthony). Carlacci’s theatre credits include a role in Bring It On: The Musical on Broadway and on tour. Piniella brings a variety of regional and New York theatre credits, as well as an appearance in the Mark Wahlberg/Russell Crowe film Broken City.

The Arts The paintings of Sir Winston Churchill Kemper Art Museum to host special exhibit For The Edge The shore is rendered in soft warm blues and thick buttery yellows. Swimmers wade into the water as a heavy black cannon trains a gleaming barrel towards the darkening horizon. “Beach at Walmer” (c. 1938) is a picture of stubborn vigilance, all the more resonant for the circumstances of its creation. Painted on the English Channel shortly before the outbreak of World War II, it is the work of Winston Churchill, the future prime minister and a chief architect of Allied victory, but then a lonely voice in British Parliament warning against the Nazi storm. This fall, the National Churchill Museum at Westminster College in Fulton, Mo., and the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at Washington University in St. Louis will feature “Beach at Walmer” and 46 other works in the exhibit “The Paintings of Sir Winston Churchill.” Presented in association w i t h “ C h u rc h i l l 2 0 1 5 , ” a w o r l d w i d e commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Churchill’s death, the exhibition is among the most significant displays of Churchill’s work ever in North America. Featured are canvases representing five decades of Churchill’s paintings, drawn from public and private collections in the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States. Also included are Churchill’s traveling easel, one sculpture by Churchill and a portrait of Churchill by Sir John Lavery. Major lenders include Chartwell, Churchill’s historic family estate in Kent and part of The United Kingdom National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty, as well as The Royal Academy of Arts, London, and the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in Canada. “This exhibition collects most of the very best of Churchill’s painting,” said Timothy Riley, painting curator for the National Churchill Museum and co-author, with Churchill’s granddaughter Edwina Sandys, of “Winston Churchill: A Passion for Painting,” forthcoming from The National Churchill Museum and Donning Company Publishers. “Some of these works have seldom, if ever, been seen outside of the United Kingdom. It represents an incredible opportunity, for museum-goers and students of history alike, to explore who, as an artist, Churchill truly was,” he said. ‘Audacity is the only ticket’ Today, Churchill is remembered as the “British Bulldog” who lifted spirits amidst the London Blitz, rousing Great Britain to what he memorably called its “finest hour.” Many consider his “Iron Curtain” speech, which diagnosed the dangers of postwar Soviet

expansionism — and which was delivered at Westminster College — to mark the beginning of the Cold War. Yet Churchill also was a dedicated amateur artist. He first took up brushes in 1915 at age 40, after being ousted as First Lord of the Admiralty during Britain’s disastrous Gallipoli campaign. “I had great anxiety and no means of relieving it,” he recalled in his 1921 essay “Painting as a Pastime” (later the basis of a book). But in the weeks that followed, he watched with interest as his sister-in-law painted in the garden. She urged him to give it a try. For the rest of his life — at home, on holiday and even, occasionally, on the battlefield — Churchill’s oils were rarely far from hand. Painting was a joy and a consolation, a source of sustenance and an intellectual challenge. He became an avid museum-goer, befriended such contemporary painters as Lavery and Paul Maze, and copied works by Paul Cézanne

and John Singer Sargent, among many others. “There really is no time for the deliberate approach,” he observed. “Two years of drawing lessons, three years of copying woodcuts, five years of plaster casts … these are for the young.” For the self-taught latecomer, “audacity” as he once famously said, was “the only ticket.” ‘Painting is like a battle’ Churchill often discussed his craft in military terms. “Painting is like a battle,” he mused, “and trying to paint a picture is, I suppose, like trying to fight a battle.” But the battle on canvas, at least, was seldom explicitly political. Of his nearly 575 completed paintings, 350 are landscapes or seascapes. Instead, Churchill grappled with the materials, techniques and traditions of painting itself. It was a battle to capture everything at once, the parts and whole, in all their simultaneous complexity. Still, as “Beach at Walmer” demonstrates, Churchill’s painting was not immune to external circumstance. “Tower of Koutoubia Mosque” (1943), the only painting Churchill was able to complete during World War II, commemorates a trip to Marrakech, Morocco, which he visited with Franklin D. Roosevelt following their historic Casablanca Conference. Churchill later gave the painting to Roosevelt as a symbol of their friendship, and Marrakech — with its historic architecture and views of the Atlas Mountains — would prove a favorite subject to which the painter frequently returned. In 1951, Churchill delivered a similar canvas to Harry S. Truman, calling it “about as presentable as anything I can produce.” Such self-deprecation, especially in a world leader, is perhaps strategically charming, yet the remark does seem to capture the mix of pride and genuine humility with which Churchill viewed his art. Indeed, for a man of

his gifts and responsibilities, the opportunity to indulge an honest enthusiasm must have felt a profound relief. As the “pastime painter” once remarked to Sir John Rothenstein, director of the Tate Gallery: “If it weren’t for painting, I couldn’t live. I couldn’t bear the strain of things.” Hours and sponsors “The Paintings of Sir Winston Churchill” is a collaboration between the National Churchill Museum at Westminster College and the Kemper Art Museum, part of the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts. This exhibition is made possible by the generous leadership support of corporate sponsor Edward Jones, the J.M. Kaplan Fund and Mr. and Mrs. Richard J. Mahoney, with additional support from partner sponsors Mr. and Mrs. Stephen F. Brauer, the Allen P. and Josephine B. Green Foundation, and Mr. and Mrs. Earle H. Harbison Jr.; contributing sponsors Mr. and Mrs. John W. Bachmann, The St. Louis Trust Company, and Dr. and Mrs. Robert L. Virgil; and associate sponsors Suzanne and David Richardson and Mark S. and Risa Zwerling Wrighton. It is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities. The exhibition opens with a public reception from 7-9 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13, and remains on view through Feb. 14, 2016. The museum is located on Washington University’s Danforth Campus, near the intersection of Skinker and Forsyth boulevards. Regular hours are 11 a.m.-5 p.m. daily except Tuesdays and 11 a.m.-8 p.m. the first Friday of the month. The museum is closed Tuesdays. The museum is open to the public and admission is free.

In 1976, as a student at Washington University in St. Louis, Ron Himes began staging upstart theatrical productions across the

Danforth Campus. Thirty-nine years later, The St. Louis Black Rep has grown to become one of the nation’s largest and most respected professional African-American companies. On Sept. 2, Himes and The Black Rep will launch their 2015-16 season with “Tell Me Somethin’ Good” in Washington University’s Edison Theatre. The decades-spanning musical revue, which runs through Sept. 20, is the first of three shows The Black Rep will present in Edison this year. “Washington University is where it all began,” said Himes, The Black Rep’s producing director as well as the Henry Hampton Artistin-Residence in the Performing Arts Department in Arts & Sciences. “We’ve been staging shows in Edison for several years now, but this is the first time we’ve had the resources to present three in a single season,” Himes said. “The Edison Series, as we’re calling it, represents a great new opportunity for us, and a whole new level of commitment on the part of the university.

Religion Religion briefs County wants God's mercy after gay Pope aims to assure conservatives marriage ruling marriage doctrine safe MARYVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Officials in a Tennessee county have adjourned without taking action on a resolution asking for God's mercy as it complies with the Supreme Court ruling that effectively legalized gay marriage nationwide. The proposed resolution said Blount (blunt) County is being forced to issue and recognize marriage licenses for same-sex couples, and it asked God to spare the county from the wrath poured out on the biblical cities Sodom and Gomorrah. Wednesday's sudden adjournment shocked the 150 citizens who packed into the meeting room. Some of the attendees expressed their disbelief by shouting "Cowards!" and "You've got to be kidding me!" Blount County Commissioner Karen Miller, who proposed the resolution, Miller said she "most likely" would try to reintroduce the measure.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has sought to assure conservatives that Catholic doctrine on marriage isn't up for discussion as a three-week meeting of bishops begins hashing out how the church should welcome gays, divorced people and Catholics in "irregular" unions. Francis took the floor after the meeting's first day was marked by a speech from the synod manager, Hungarian Cardinal Peter Erdo, in which he closed the door on any movement on whether Catholics remarried outside the church could receive Communion. Francis said the issue wasn't the only one on the table and church doctrine isn't up for debate. But in recounting Francis' closed-door speech, the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, noted that the synod is discussing a papally approved working text, where the Communion question for civilly remarried Catholics is still open. An assistant to Lombardi, the Rev. Thomas Rosica (roh-SEE'kah), said several bishops raised the need for a new "language of

Priest pleads not guilty to endangering 8-year-old boy with musket

HACKENSACK, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey priest accused of pointing a functioning musket at an 8-year-old boy in a church rectory as part of a football rivalry has pleaded not guilty to child endangerment and aggravated assault charges. The Rev. Kevin Carter entered his plea Tuesday during a brief hearing in Hackensack. The charges stem from a Sept. 13 incident at St. Margaret of Cortona Roman Catholic Church in Little Ferry. Carter, an avid New York Giants fan, claims it was joke that was misinterpreted. He and the boy, who roots for the Dallas Cowboys, were talking about football shortly before the incident occurred.

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 highlyacclaimed Motown albums, genrebusting 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 soughtafter 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.” Continuing to explore new vistas, McDonald released his Grammynominated, platinum-selling pair of Motown albums in 2003. Then in 2005, he partnered with Hallmark for a special Christmas album,

Through The Many Winters, which sold 500,000 copies in its first two weeks. In 2008 McDonald released the acclaimed crossover album Soul Speak (which hit three different charts simultaneously), and in 2011 received an honorary doctorate from Berklee School of Music. Recently he and co- horts Donald Fagen and Boz Scaggs an 11-piece soul supergroup who tour as The Dukes Of September, released their first live DVD.
