People Lang to discuss the high costs of heroism One-man show coming to Washington University For The Edge

he Congressional Medal of Honor is the United States’ highest award for valor in combat. It is very hard to get. Since being signed into law by Abraham Lincoln, only 3,468 medals have been awarded—70% of them posthumously.

In Beyond Glory, actor and playwright Stephen Lang—perhaps best known as Colonel Quaritch in Avatar—presents eight of these stories, at once harrowing and stirring, in the words of the men who lived them. On Saturday, Nov. 16, Lang will bring his acclaimed one-man-show, which has toured military installations around the world, to Washington University in St. Louis as part of the Edison Ovations Series. Duty and determination Adapted from the book by Larry Smith, Beyond Glory gives voice to eight veterans of World War II, Korea and Vietnam. Standing on stage alone, flanked by video screens that occasionally evoke the turmoil of combat, Langreveals the fleshand-blood figures behind the citations, deftly capturing their pain and pride, their humor and horror, their quiet humility and mind-boggling bravery. The play opens with John William Finn, a naval aviation ordinanceman who was lying happily in bed with his wife when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. In a soldier ’s stoic deadpan, Finn describes his initial annoyance at the interruption and his dismay at missing breakfast. Quickly grasping the situation, he races back to base and takes charge of a 50caliber machine gun, returning fire for more than two hours despite receiving 21 separate wounds. Daniel K. Inouye, the former senator from Hawaii—and the son and grandson of Japanese immigrants—recalls his own fury and sense of betrayal at the Pearl Harbor attack. Later, fighting in Europe, Inouye storms a German position but loses his right arm to enemy fire. Astonishingly, he manages to continue forward, pulling a grenade from his detached right hand and tossing it left-handed into a German bunker. Like many recipients, Inouye ascribes his actions to duty and determination more than heroism. He praises his training and his comrades, and movingly describes the body of a young German he killed. “But I felt we had a mission,” Inouye says. “An ugly mission and the sooner accomplished, the better.” The hardest thing The sentiment is echoed by Clarence Sasser, an African-American medic who raced through enemy fire in Vietnam. Shot in both legs, Sasser dragged himself across a muddy rice paddy and, in agonizing pain, spent five hours tending to the wounded. “You know what the hardest thing was?” Sasser asks. “The hardest thing was laying there all night, listening to them beg for their mamas. “I did what I did because it was my job,” Sasser adds. “And if I didn’t do it, none of us were going to get out.” Charles Isherwood, writing in the New

For The Edge

Stephen Lang brings his one-man show Beyond Glory, adapted from the book by Larry Smith, to Edison Nov. 16. York Times, notes that, “With his chiseled physique, commanding square jaw and sharp buzz cut, Mr. Lang might almost seem to be carved from a block of granite. “But he individualizes each of the eight portraits here with precision and economy,” Isherwood adds, “becoming a new man by a subtle adjustment of posture that alters his physical presence, evoking a new personality through the coloring of his voice.” Beyond Glory is part of a wave of fall St. Louis events exploring the experience of soldiers during wartime. From Nov. 8-24, the Mustard Seed

Theatre will present All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914, an a capella musical that tells the true story an impromptu holiday cease-fire during World War I. From Dec. 5-15, the Missouri History Museum will present Medal of Honor Rag, in which two survivors of war, a psychiatrist and a Medal of Honor recipient, verbally spar about their experiences. In addition, the museum is also presenting the exhibition I Was a Soldier – Photos by Jerry Tovo, through Jan. 20. Tickets and sponsors

November 14, 2013

Globetrotters returning to St. Louis The world famous Harlem Globetrotters will take fan interaction to a new level when the 2014 “Fans Rule” World Tour comes to Scottrade Center in St. Louis on Friday, Jan. 3, 2014, at 7:00 p.m. Online voting is now open at harlemglobetrotters.com/rule, where all fans can choose which new game-changing rules they want to see in their hometown. The Globetrotters were the first organization in sports and entertainment to let fans vote on rules when the team introduced the concept last year. Since the fan response was so overwhelming, the team is doing it again – but with a major twist. The 2014 online ballot includes three never-before-seen revolutionary rules: • Hot Hand Jersey – Both teams will have a “Hot Hand Jersey” they can pass among each other. The player who is wearing this jersey will receive double points on made baskets. • Make or Miss – The quarter begins with only two players on the court for each team. When a team scores, a teammate may enter the game. When they miss, the player missing the shot must leave the court, leaving his or her teammates shorthanded. • Trick Shot Challenge – Via three challenge flags per team, each coach can challenge the other team to make a trick shot. If the team makes the trick shot, they earn five

points. If they miss, the other team receives five points. With a roster showcasing stars such as Special K Daley, Big Easy Lofton, Flight Time Lang, Hi-Lite Bruton and Dizzy Grant – plus female stars TNT Maddox, T-Time Brawner and Sweet J Ekworomadu – the Globetrotters’ one-of-a-kind family show features mesmerizing ball handling, an assortment of trick shots, high-flying dunks and precise timing – all with an array of comedy guaranteed to entertain the young and the young at heart. After virtually every game, Globetrotter stars remain on the court for autographs and photographs with fans. Tickets start at $21.00 and are now available at harlemglobetrotters.com, www.ticketmaster.com, the Scottrade Center box office or by phone at 800745-3000. Information on group and scout tickets can also be found at harlemglobetrotters.com. The Globetrotters tipped off the North American leg of their world tour with the first-ever events at the new Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine, on Sept. 20 and 21. The tour recommences on Dec. 26, 2013, with the Globetrotters playing more than 290 games in over 250 cities in 47 U.S. states, six Canadian provinces and Puerto Rico through April 2014.

Tickets are available through MetroTix.com or by calling 1-314534-1111. Fans all over the world can look forward to a new jam-packed show with more laughs than ever before. Dunham’s famed troupe of sidekicks are back: Walter the Grumpy Retiree, Achmed the Dead Terrorist, the beer-fueled redneck Bubba J, the manic purple creature Peanut, the spicy pepper from south of the border José Jalapeño, and Peanut’s own ventriloquist dummy Little Jeff, a mini-version of the ringmaster himself. Dunham and his comedic sidekicks most recent Comedy Central onehour special entitled “Minding the Monsters,” is the fifth in a string of record-breaking specials. “Minding the Monsters” takes its audience into the ultimate haunted house where you can see Walter transform into something grumpier than he already is, watch Bubba J rise from the dead, meet Peanut’s alter ego, The Purple Avenger of the Night, and his spicy sidekick, and witness Achmed literally dressed to kill in an outfit that would terrify the most terrifying terrorist! It debuted on Comedy Central to 7.5 million viewers, making it the most watched

special of the year for the network. Upon its release on DVD, it was the #1 comedy DVD on Amazon.com and exceeded platinum sales within 6 days. It has already reached triple platinum status. The amazing rise of Jeff Dunham continues apace, with 2013 having seen Jeff continue to pack arena-sized venues. Dunham and his sidekicks are preparing for their sixth trip to Europe this fall, stopping in the U.K., Germany, and Belgium. In 2013, fans will also get the chance to see Achmed the Dead Terrorist like he's never been seen before! This December, Jeff Dunham will premiere his very first animated feature “Achmed Saves America,” starring the world’s most beloved, failed bad-guy! In this full length animated movie, Achmed is having a very bad day... After accidentally blowing himself up, the world's most incompetent suicide bomber finds himself whisked away from his homeland by a giant bald eagle and dropped off in... Americaville, USA. There, mistaken by the kindhearted Wilson family for a visiting French exchange student, "The Little Skeleton That Couldn't" bumblingly plots to destroy the town and all of its "infidels". But, once he's exposed to the sweet things in life -including all-you-can-eat buffets and frozen yogurt -- Achmed's campaign of hate turns into a patriotic AllAmerican lovefest.

On the Edge of the Weekend

Music The Other Guys achieve perfect pitch University of Illinois a capella group to perform at Wildey fundraiser By BILL TUCKER Of The Edge

aniel Lynch knows that, inevitably, the question will come.

So he chuckles when folks ask him if his a capella group, The Other Guys, resembles that of the Barden Bellas from the film “Pitch Perfect.” Lynch, a 2011 Edwardsville High School graduate, is one of eight University of Illinois students who make up The Other Guys. And those guys will be performing at 8 p.m. on Nov. 23 at the Wildey Theatre in downtown Edwardsville. Planned as a fundraiser by the Friends of the Wildey, the bill also includes the EHS AcaFellaz, a group Lynch also belonged to. “Pitch Perfect,” which was released in 2012 and stars Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson, gave a capella singing a big boost in popularity. Lynch, a tenor, said the film depicts the type of friendships the singers develop, even though they don’t gather in empty swimming pools. “I get that question a lot. The bonds, the friendship they have in the group is the same,” Lynch said. “We all love it. But we don’t hang out in pools and have sing offs with each other.” The Other Guys aren’t the only guys at the U of I, but the groups don’t spar as much

there as they do in the film. “There are 11 groups on campus so there’s certainly going to be some rivalries, but it’s a little less cutthroat,” he said. The Other Guys formed at the University of Illinois UrbanaChampaign during the 1968-69 school year. Since then, they have evolved into a high-profile international traveling group that is built on outstanding musicianship, comedic spontaneity and timehonored dignity. Lynch said he was among 100 or so individuals who tried out for The Other Guys. Three made it. “It’s the eight of us. We’ve become really, really close,” Lynch said.” They’re may roommates. They’re the people I’ve bonded with.” Lynch began singing in the sixth grade. While at EHS, he was a member of both the AcaFellaz and the Drama Club. A junior at U of I where he is a molecular biology/PreMed major, Lynch said he is looking forward “very much” to performing before a hometown crowd at the Wildey. Lynch said The Other Guys perform everything from rock and roll standards to barbershop-quartet type numbers. “We’re going to do a whole lot of different things,” he said.” We’re going to do some older songs, Billy Joel, there’s also some newer ones.”

November 14, 2013

On the group's website, Lynch lists his favorite performers as Styx, Journey, Queen, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Lincoln Park, Ludo, Avenged Sevenfold, Maroon 5 and Eminem The Other Guys perform at more than 100 different venues each year. Recent engagements have taken them to Chicago’s United Center, Yankee Stadium, Wrigley Field, New York’s Gotham Comedy Club, Google Headquarters and Roger Ebert’s 10th Annual Film Festival. The AcaFellaz, meanwhile, are where Lynch got his start. The group, directed by Lynda Marshall, performs throughout the school year. Tickets for the show are $10 each and may be purchased at www.wildeytheatre.com. The Wildey is located at 252 N. Main St. For more information about this event, contact the Wildey at 307-1758. The Wildey Theatre, originally built as an opera house in 1909 by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, has been extensively renovated and reopened in April, 2011, as a center of the performing arts, entertainment and movies. The 325-seat theatre features state of the art technical capabilities and space for special events and business meetings. The Wildey Theatre is owned by the city of Edwardsville. The Friends of the Wildey is a 501(c)3 not-forprofit organization.

On the Edge of the Weekend

Religion Sept. 11 sent broadcaster to Christian radio ANDERSON, Ind. (AP) — More than a decade ago, Kelli Thompson said a prayer. And God's answer far exceeded her expectations. Thompson was working at a country radio station in New Castle and the 9/11 attacks unfolded live on television. "There were 25 to 30 people all gathered around a little television set and I would look at them and then look at the TV," Thompson told The Herald Bulletin (http:// bit.ly/16oSqQA). "I wanted to be able to be a comfort to them and share with them my hope." Instead of sharing her faith, however, she stood silent. Thompson, now the host of Moody Radio Indiana's morning program, "New Day," had been in the radio business for 33 years and never felt more strongly in that moment to talk about God with others. At the time, workers were often reluctant to discuss religion in business settings. And it was the same at the radio station. Today, Contemporary Christian and religious teaching radio stations dominate the

airwaves. According to M. Street Corp. and Inside Radio, which tracks radio statistics, there are more than 2,723 of these two types of stations across the nation giving their combined totals the largest listener base. Country and news talk stations also top the charts. The days and weeks that followed her silence haunted Thompson until she told God she would never let it happen again. She has kept that promise and a strong relationship with her savior. Thompson says unlike some, she did not find God - he found her. "I was not raised in the church," Thompson said. "But I remember when I was very little walking around through the house talking to him." She said that while growing up her mother would watch the Billy Graham crusades and other religious programs. When she was about 8 years old she watched "The Ten Commandments" starring actor Charlton Heston. The movie changed her life. "I remember thinking that's just so

awesome," Thompson said with a laugh. "I just started talking to him then and I haven't shut up in 40 plus years." Today, Thompson shares Scripture and her faith with more than 110,000 listeners each week in Indiana. According to James Crompton, an analyst and industry expert for IBISWorld, Inc. in New York, the radio broadcasting industry has undergone many changes in the past decade. The Internet along with digital platforms for music sharing are altering how consumers listen to their music. In 2012, about 29 percent of Americans listened to online radio stations which compares to about 11 percent in 2007, Crompton said. Overall, Crompton said Americans spend about 20 hours a week listening to the radio. And for broader appeal across the nation, Christian stations have started using podcasts, live streaming and satellite radio to make the format available 24 hours a day. Ray Hashley is the station manager of 97.9 FM, WGNR, and AM 1470, WGNR, where Thompson's program originates on the south

side of Anderson. Thompson's program is aired daily on all of the Indiana stations owned by Moody Radio and they include stations in Anderson, Covington, West Lafayette, Kokomo and Bloomington. "We have a huge area we cover," he said. In December, Moody Radio plans to convert its AM station here to all-Spanish to reach a wider audience. That will give Moody Radio an edge, Crompton said. He said many factors come into play when accessing a potential listening base including an area's employment rate and population. For example, Madison County's population is 3.3 percent Hispanic. "Periods of higher unemployment typically coincide with people listening to less radio, as they would not be commuting as frequently," Crompton said. "So while I cannot definitively say whether or not your city radio stations are reaching the majority of the local population, I can say it is likely they reach a solid majority of residents." Hashley said the station's target audience is 35 and older. He said roughly 60 percent of its listeners are women and 40 percent are men.

QuickGlance Movie Reviews

"Bad Grandpa"

If the “Jackass” movies have always spit exuberantly in the face of age and mortality, it’s fitting that co-creators Johnny Knoxville, Spike Jonze and Jeff Tremaine have now given us one devoted to Knoxville’s octogenarian alter ego, Irving Zisman. Strangely touching, too, given that the “Jackass” boys are all in their 40s now and still throwing caution to the wind. Strapping a loose narrative framework onto the series’ patented stunts and candid-camera gags, “Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa” shows there’s still comic life in this decade-old franchise — provided, of course, the sight of a senior citizen getting his penis caught in a vending machine is the kind of thing that brings a smile to your face. Originally introduced during the final season of “Jackass” on MTV, the Zisman character has been a mainstay ever since, sometimes paired with Jonze’s nonagenarian prostitute character Gloria for maximum elder-care chaos. In “Bad Grandpa,” Irving’s family is fleshed out to include a crack-addict daughter (Georgina Kates), who, on the verge of returning to prison, tasks Irving with transporting his 8-year-old grandson (Jackson Nicoll) to the boy’s deadbeat father (Greg Harris) in North Carolina. That’s the “plot” as far as it goes, which is really just a device for putting Knoxville and the cherubic, foul-mouthed Nicoll (“The Fighter”) in a car together and letting them wreak their inspired havoc across state lines. A couple of the movie’s best and most outrageous payoffs come right up front, when Irving enlists a couple of unwitting furniture movers to help him load the corpse of the late Mrs. Zisman (Catherine Keener) into his car, then tries to circumvent the road trip by simply UPS-ing little Billy all the way to Raleigh. The m.o. of “Jackass” has always been the comedy of physical pain — a “Three Stooges” for the X-Games era — married to a kind of anarchic street theater. Knoxville and company delight at finding ways to make life veer off its neatly ordered path and in capturing the flummoxed reactions of those who bear witness. Here, they take an added glee in playing off social mores concerning children and the elderly — how they should be treated, and when they shouldn’t be held responsible for their actions (as when Irving and Billy eat their way through a minimart, then make a run for it). RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “strong crude and sexual content throughout, language, some graphic nudity and brief drug use.” RUNNING TIME: 91 minutes.

"Last Vegas"

As creaky as an arthritic hip, “Last Vegas” does for four leading stars of the ‘70s and ‘80s what movies like “Tough Guys” and “Grumpy Old Men” did for survivors of Hollywood’s storied Golden Age: It lets them show they can still throw a punch, bust a move, and get it on, and that they’re not quite ready for the Motion Picture Home just yet. Beyond that, this genteel “Hangover” for the AARP crowd has little to recommend it, though a smattering of funny gags and the nostalgia value of the cast keeps the whole thing more watchable than it has any right to be. One doesn’t exactly expect “Death in Venice” from a movie that begins on a shot of female cellulite jiggling beneath the surface of a Florida community pool. But as various seniorcentric pics have proven, from Martin Brest’s delightful caper “Going in Style” to Ron Howard’s “Cocoon,” going gray isn’t automatically an impediment to a screenplay that consists of

On the Edge of the Weekend

more than death and Viagra jokes. But “Last Vegas” scribe Dan Fogelman (who wrote the monumentally smarter and shrewder “Crazy, Stupid, Love”) pretty much sticks to the lowest common denominator as he contrives to get four childhood friends together in Sin City for the bachelor party of the last unmarried man among them. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “sexual content and language.” RUNNING TIME: 104 minutes.

"Diana"

Let’s start with the relatively good news: “Diana,” a new biopic about the last two years of Princess Diana’s life, is not nearly as horrendous as some of the reviews in her homeland may have led you to believe. (”Car-crash cinema,” one British paper opined.) Now the bad news: It’s just not very good. And that’s a shame, in at least three ways. First, the gifted actress Naomi Watts deserves to be in a better movie. Second, Oliver Hirschbiegel, who directed the admired and Oscarnominated German-language film “Downfall,” about Adolf Hitler, somehow, er, falls down here. Finally, and most unfortunately, an opportunity is lost to dig deeper into a personality that fascinated the world like few others in our modern times — “the most famous woman in the world,” as the movie aptly calls her. So where does it go wrong? For starters, the filmmakers may have been constrained by a desire to be respectful. It’s not hard to imagine why. Diana’s two sons are very much alive, for one thing. But blame must also be laid on the script. Yes, we know that royals speak woodenly in public. But we’re pretty sure they, and the non-royals in their lives, loosen up in private. Stephen Jeffreys’ script sometimes sounds like he’s unaware how real people chat, flirt, fall in love. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “brief strong language, some sensuality and smoking.” RUNNING TIME: 113 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: One and a half stars out of four.

"Free Birds"

Every year about this time, millions of turkeys are fattened up so American households can chow them down. But in “Free Birds,” two brave turkeys make it their mission to travel back in time and get their breed off the Thanksgiving menu. In this amusing but occasionally distasteful animated feature from visual effects studio Reel FX, turkeys Reggie (Owen Wilson) and Jake (Woody Harrelson) strive for heroism and bank some notably kooky buddy comedy along the way. We’re introduced to Reggie, a rather astute turkey living on a farm with his lackadaisical flock. With Thanksgiving on the way, he attempts to warn the other birds, with whom he desperately wants to fit in, that they’ll soon be dinner if they don’t wise up. As a result, his flock deems him the “anticorn.” However, they soon discover Reggie is right, then toss him out of the coop to be slaughtered. To his luck, he is scooped up by a peppy little redhead who convinces her father, the president of the United States (who sounds a lot like a Bill Clinton), that Reggie will be the year’s “pardoned turkey.” RATED: PG for “some action/peril and rude humor.”

RUNNING TIME: 91 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

"How I Live Now"

Ever since she burst onto the scene in “Atonement,” playing a girl with an overly fertile imagination in a performance that earned her an Oscar nod at age 13, Saoirse Ronan has been one of the most interesting young faces on the big screen. Her precocious, quirky and intelligent look, almost like a pre-teen Meryl Streep, has evolved now into a more mature beauty, and the actress, now 19, remains just as interesting to watch, if not more so. Her latest film, the post-apocalyptic “How I Live Now,” based on the 2004 young adult novel by Meg Rosoff, feels something like “The Hunger Games” sprinkled with a liberal dose of “Pretty in Pink” or any basic teen comingof-age story. Like in “Atonement,” the personal journey unfolds in the shadow of world war — only here, it’s not World War II. No, it’s World War III, which begins almost immediately after Daisy, a self-absorbed young American with bleachedblond hair, fashionably ripped black tights and plenty of eye makeup, arrives in Britain, sent by her father to spend the summer with distant cousins in the country. She’s not thrilled. When friendly cousin Isaac (a sweet Tom Holland) fetches her at the airport, the first thing she does is mock his accent. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “violence, disturbing images, language and some sexuality.” RUNNING TIME: 101 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"The Book Thief"

Rarely has a story about an angelic schoolgirl been narrated by Death. But such is the case in the dark, yet wondrous Nazi Germany-set “The Book Thief.” “Here’s a small fact: You are going to die,” we’re told via voiceover by the Grim Reaper as we meet our young heroine, Liesel Meminger, played exquisitely by 13-year-old French-Canadian newcomer Sophie Nelisse. Traveling by train in 1939, Liesel and her ailing younger brother are being taken to a small German town by their poor mother. Once there, they’ll be handed over to their new foster parents. But as a line of blood drips from her motionless sibling’s nose, Liesel’s large blue eyes widen in horror as she discovers her brother has died. Now, she must embrace her new life alone. At her brother ’s funeral, a gravedigger misplaces his “Gravedigger’s Handbook” and Liesel grabs it and tucks it under her coat. This becomes her connection to the past — she cradles the book when she sleeps and keeps a photo of her brother tucked between the pages. Based on Markus Zusak’s 2006 best-selling young-adult novel, “The Book Thief” is a bittersweet wartime drama about an uneducated little girl who grows into a polished author. Directed by Brian Percival (“Downton Abbey”), the film shines a bright light on Nelisse, a fresh young talent whose expressive eyes say everything. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “some violence and intense depiction of thematic material.” RUNNING TIME: 131 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.

"Free Birds" fun but flat By JESSICA HERNDON Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — Every year about this time, millions of turkeys are fattened up so American households can chow them down. But in “Free Birds,” two brave turkeys make it their mission to travel back in time and get their breed off the Thanksgiving menu. In this amusing but occasionally distasteful animated feature from visual effects studio Reel FX, turkeys Reggie (Owen Wilson) and Jake (Woody Harrelson) strive for heroism and bank some notably kooky buddy comedy along the way. We’re introduced to Reggie, a rather astute turkey living on a farm with his lackadaisical flock. With Thanksgiving on the way, he attempts to warn the other birds, with whom he desperately wants to fit in, that they’ll soon be dinner if they don’t wise up. As a result, his flock deems

him the “anti-corn.” However, they soon discover Reggie is right, then toss him out of the coop to be slaughtered. To his luck, he is scooped up by a peppy little redhead who convinces her father, the president of the United States (who sounds a lot like a Bill Clinton), that Reggie will be the year’s “pardoned turkey.” Off in a helicopter to Camp David, Reggie begins to settle into his new life filled with channel surfing and pizza when he’s abruptly snatched by a fellow turkey, the buff and buoyant Jake. Jake believes it’s their destiny to find a time machine for a trip back to the first Thanksgiving to ensure turkeys don’t become the main dish. Their dynamic is instantly amusing: Jake lacks the brains, but is equipped with the brawn, while the quick-witted Reggie approaches things logically. Still, Jake manages to coax Reggie into a large, eggshaped time machine. But before they travel back through time, Jake leads Reggie in a

victory dance and the two lock feathers. The groove is a bit homoerotic, which prompts Reggie to crassly brand Jake “weird.” Once in the time machine, appropriately voiced by “Star Wars” vet George Takei, they’re off to Plymouth Colony, November 1621, where they are welcomed by guntoting colonists looking to feast. The two escape just in time, saved by Jenny (Amy Poehler), a pretty young female turkey and the sassy daughter of the head of the local flock. The groundwork is thus laid for Reggie and Jenny’s love story, with Jenny set up as a strong female character for the little ladies in the audience. After presenting their best arguments to rile up the local flock and change the course of history, Reggie and Jake successfully destroy the colonists’ weapons. During the battle that follows, we are taken on another journey through time, which results in a big cheer-raising climax. The first feature film from Reel FX,

“Free Birds” lacks the dazzling visuals of DreamWorks, Pixar or Walt Disney animated films, and the use of 3-D may have given the budget a boost but not the experience. Yet the turkeys in “Free Birds,” with their immense eyes (especially those of the cuddly baby birds), varying body types and distinct mannerisms are impressive. C o - w r i t t e n a n d d i re c t e d b y J i m m y Hayward, whose credits include “Horton Hears a Who!” and “Jonah Hex,” “Free Birds” is a solid premiere effort that shows Reel FX’s potential to produce quality fulllength animation. But the story-line, with its hypothetical constituents, seems a little desperate at times, even for a kiddie film. Yet children will get a kick out of the slap-stick humor — the jubilant fast-talking daughter of the president is priceless — and adults should appreciate nods to films about time-travel from the 1980s, like “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure” and “Back to the Future.”

"Ender's Game" earns three stars By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge Often, I have to carefully cho o s e m y w o rd s i n o rd e r t o avoid ruining major plot points in a film when I review it for you, dear reader. But I’m really g o o d a t t h a t . I t c o m e s f ro m growing up in a household where “spoilers” were not beloved by my father, a man who must struggle in this era of bloggerdom where every goofball with a keyboard, his eldest son included, fancies himself a champion of entertainment criticism. To greatly describe the climactic crux of Ender ’s Game, then, would be a cardinal sin that forces me only to impart the thought that it expertly puts the idea of “science fiction” to the ultimate test, especially that fiction part! I was

more than impressed. Based on Orson Scott Card’s 1980s-era novel and from a s c re e n p l a y b y d i re c t o r G a v i n Hood, Ender ’s Game is about recruiting child soldiers to lead the final battle between Earth and an alien race known as the Formicans. Set fifty years since the first attempted invasion of our planet, in which ten million people were killed, the movie picks up as we’re preparing to bring the fight to them. Quickly explained, pre-adolescent c h i l d re n a re s e l e c t e d t o t r a i n for the combat-directing roles due largely to their keener ability to understand multiple variables in solving the complex intricacies of big picture warfare. Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield) is fast-tracked to train for commander of the entire fleet

due to his pronounced tactical aptitude at school where he is followed closely by Colonel Graff (Harrison Ford, playing his typical gruff role) and Major A n d e r s o n ( Vi o l a D a v i s ) , t h e company’s psychologist that minds minds as they’re melded for a potentially gruesome assignment. Ender ’s brutality when faced with a mission is at first impressive when it’s through virtual reality simulation, but eventually we see how it takes over his own lifestyle. These may be children, but there’s no time for kidding around. Sir Ben Kingsley rounds out Ender ’s training faculty as a Maori warrior with an enigmatic background. He appears so late in the (relatively short) film that I’d forgotten he was even in it. An emotionally packed “softie”

c o r e w i t h i n E n d e r Wi g g i n , though, is also evident in the regret he feels after obliterating an enemy. It’s readily apparent when he confides in his sister, Va l e n t i n e ( A b i g a i l B r e s l i n ) , a p re v i o u s C o m m a n d S c h o o l washout, and his subordinate/ friend, Petra Arkanian (Hailee Steinfeld), one of the only female operators in his entire brigade. They are a strong foundation that allows him to be the great savior of Earth’s future that Graff has been touting him to be all along. Tr a i n i n g classroom confrontations with bullies and competitors (chiefly the N a p o l e o n i c M o i s e s A r i a s ) a re what make this movie suitable for a family audience, but Ender ’s Game is really a great film for adults. The real selling point of this amazing story is

November 14, 2013

the great job done bringing the visual effects to life. A great majority of the “training” scenes take place in a giant, zerogravity battleground where opposing squadrons of cadets are tasked with floating through an obstacle course while trying to freeze ray each other in an attempt to take over the others’ base. It illustrated the way every schoolyard child secretly wishes they could play Capture the Flag. I g i v e t h e p i c t u re o n e o f m y highest compliments when I say the movie, despite the author ’s recent and well-documented comments of bigotry, makes me now want to read the book. Ender's Game runs 122 minutes and is rated PG-13 for some violence, sci-fi action, and thematic material. I give this film three stars out of four.

Directed on Broadway by four-time Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks (Guys and Dolls, A Funny Thing…Forum, Smokey Joe’s Café), the production features choreography by Tony and Olivier Award nominee Anthony Van Laast (Mamma Mia, Bombay Dreams) and is based on the Touchstone Pictures motion picture "Sister Act" written by Joseph Howard.

November 14, 2013

When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place cops are sure she won't be found - a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and an uptight Mother Superior. Using her fabulous disco-ness and killer voice to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church, but in doing so blows her cover.

Soon it’s nun-on-the-run time but she finds salvation in the heavenly power of her newly found sisterhood. Based on the mega-hit feature film, "Sister Act" features an original Alan Menken/Glenn Slater score with a vast inspiration of musical styles from Motown, soul and funk to great big disco anthems and Barry White inspired musical comedy. "Sister Act" features scenery by Klara Zieglerova, costumes by Lez Brotherston, lighting by Natasha Katz, and sound by John Shivers. The music department includes Musical Supervisor Michael Kosarin, Music Director BrentAlan Huffman, and orchestrations by Doug Besterman. Elisabeth Vincentelli of The New York Post calls "Sister Act", “One of the season’s happiest surprises! Off the charts and packed with goodies, to which we say: Amen!” Joe Dziemianowicz of The New York Daily News raves “A blessed event has landed on Broadway. ""Sister Act"" is a feel-good crowd pleaser worth celebrating. It keeps on purring from one happy moment to the next.” Charles Isherwood of The New York Times says, “When the wimples start quivering and the nuns start rocking to raise the Gothic rafters, all’s right in the kingdom of musical comedy!” and Mark Kennedy of The Associated Press calls ""Sister Act"", “In a word, divine. This is a musical that hits all the right spots, achieving something close to Broadway grace. It will convert you.”

The Arts COCA to present "Pinocchio" For The Edge COCA presents the next installment of its new performance series COCA Presents 2013-2014, the English-language premiere of Theatre Tout aTrac’s "Pinocchio," November 16-17, 2013, in COCA’s Founders’ Theatre. Following the internationallyacclaimed "Alice in Wonderland" (at COCA, 2011), Theatre Tout a Trac revisits the story of a boy, born out of a piece of talking wood, who discovers the meaning of growing up through a thousand trials. To become a “real” boy, Pinocchio will have to face the terrible Puppet Theatre Director, suffer the malice of Mr. Fox and the Cat, escape from Toyland and save his father from the belly of the giant fish. A beautiful and creative re-telling of the classic tale, Theatre Tout a Trac’s "Pinocchio" is recommended for ages 5 to 12. Tickets ($16-$20) are available for purchase online at www.cocastl.org, by phone at 314.561.4877 or in person at COCA during box office hours. Subscription packages comprised of at least six season shows are also available. Founded in 1998 and a member of the House Theatre since 2007, Theatre Tout a Trac explores the workings of the imagination and theatre through a creative process that actively involves the masked play, storytelling and puppetry. Thanks to award-winning productions like The Green Bird and Princess Turandot, Theatre Tout a Trac established itself among teen and adult audiences in Quebec. Theatre Tout a Trac’s first show for younger audiences, Alice in Wonderland, has played more than 300 performances in both French and English across Canada, the United States and the Middle East. "Pinocchio," Theatre Tout aTrac’s most recent endeavor for young

Pinocchio is written and directed by Hugo Bélanger, according to the work of Carlo Collodi. For more than 20 years, Hugo Belanger has been perfecting mask theatre and puppetry as popular theatre in order to appeal to a wide

range of audiences. As the Artistic Director of Theatre Tout a Trac since 1998, he continues to search for a style of theatre in which the body is both a rigorous and playful tool. Belanger’s ongoing interest in popular theatre that is accessible to all, and in which imagination is the main theme, led him to street theatre

as a puppeteer with the company Les Sages Fous. Belanger has toured with them in North America and Europe. He also directed two shows – in 2005 and 2006 – with Theatre La Roulotte, the oldest children’s touring theatre in Quebec. Also a teacher, Belanger has given over 400 workshops to actors

November 14, 2013

– both professional and amateur. He has taught at the National Theatre School of Canada, Conservatoire d’art dramatique de Montreal, StHyacinthe CEGEP Theatre Program, the National Circus School and at En Piste – the Circus Arts National Network. Cirque du Soleil hired Belanger to direct the show for the opening ceremony of the Canadian pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai exhibit. Belanger collaborated with the Montreal Symphonic Orchestra in 2012, directing the play Beethoven vit a l’etage (Beethoven Lives Upstairs) at the Maison Symphonique. COCA Presents is COCA’s new performance series. It includes the quality family theatre for which COCA is known, but now also includes offerings for older children, teens and adults. Comprised of shows created and produced by COCA, as well as the best touring productions from around the world, COCA Presents offers bold, crossdisciplinary performances for all ages. COCA Presents 2013-2014 is presented by Wells Fargo Advisors. Edward Jones and Mary Strauss are Season Sponsors. The Cheshire is the Official Hotel Sponsor of COCA Presents 2013-2014.

The Arts Artitsic adventures St. Louis Ragtimers returning to the Sheldon The Sheldon presents St. Louis Ragtimers, November and 19 and 20 at 10 a.m. in the perfect acoustics of the Sheldon Concert Hall. A returning favorite to The Sheldon’s Coffee Concert Series, the Ragtimers, featuring Trebor Tichenor on piano, Al Striker on banjo, Bill Mason on trumpet and Don Franz on tuba, the St. Louis Ragtimers perform a dynamic style of ragtime and Dixieland jazz. Formed in 1961, the St. Louis Ragtimers combine the folk rags of Missouri and the stomps and shouts of New Orleans to create a unique blend of music that harkens back to the old St. Louis riverboats. From the 1960s – 1980s the group called the Goldenrod Showboat home, hosting a jazz and ragtime festival each summer. To continue their Dixieland legacy, they have traveled to various festivals around the world, created more than half a dozen albums, and been featured on NBC’s Today Show. Trebor Tichenor, the band’s leader, has created an international reputation for himself as a ragtime pianist and composer, and currently teaches the history of ragtime music at Washington University. Known for his research, Tichenor boasts a collection of piano rolls, sheet music and rare recordings. He has recorded six solo albums and coauthored Rags and Ragtimes, with David Jansen. Tichenor has been awarded many honors, including the Scott Joplin Foundation Award for “extraordinary contributions to the field of ragtime” in 1992. Tickets are $15 orchestra/$12 balcony, and are on sale now through MetroTix at 314-534-1111, through The Sheldon’s website at TheSheldon.org, or in person at The Fox Theatre Box Office, 534 N.

The Sheldon Art Galleries presents Sandi Haber Fifield: Between Planting and Picking, now through January 4, 2014 in the Gallery of Photography. Connecticut-based photographer Sandi Haber Fifield photographed family-owned farms across the United States from 2009 to 2010. Her lyrical images use the agricultural landscape to create a complex vocabulary of visual associations that speak equally about the humanity of these places and about artistic selfdiscovery. Haber writes: “I’m drawn to the authenticity of small farm life that congregates along the margins in myriad cast-off moments: sunlight on muslin seed bags, wooden crates, plastic mesh, buckets, pots, hoses, a lunar planting calendar, quirky signage. As I made more and more pictures, the candid beauty and improvised quality I discovered in the unkempt edges of these small farm environments became a focus. I hope it is within the banal details, unsuspecting and unnoticed, that a narrative unfolds, showing the beauty in the randomness and the re-purposing. To me, there is a metaphor in the unending cycle of growth and harvest for my own image making.” Sandi Haber Fifield received her MFA from Rochester Institute

and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas. This modern day Christmas classic is sure to make everyone embrace their inner ELF. Based on the beloved 2003 New Line Cinema hit, ELF features songs by Tony Award® nominees Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin (The Wedding Singer), with a book by Tony Award winners Thomas Meehan (Annie, The Producers, Hairspray) and Bob Martin (The Drowsy Chaperone). West Side Story – January 3-5, 2014 More than fifty years ago one musical changed theater forever. From the first note to the final breath, WEST SIDE STORY soars as the greatest love story of all time. This revival, based on Tony® Award-winning librettist Arthur Laurents' Broadway direction, remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. The Bernstein and Sondheim score is considered to be one of Broadway's finest and features such classics of the American musical theatre as Something's Coming, Tonight, America, I Feel Pretty and Somewhere. Mamma Mia! – February 7-9. 2014 Over 50 million people all around the world have fallen in love with the characters, the story and the music that make MAMMA MIA! the ultimate feel-good show. The storytelling magic of ABBA’s timeless songs propels this enchanting tale of love, laughter and friendship. We Will Rock You – March 18-30, 2014 From London’s West End, the worldwide smash hit musical by Queen and Ben Elton finally comes to the U.S. with a limited engagement stop in St. Louis. WE WILL ROCK YOU features the greatest hits of the legendary British rock group, Queen. Now in its 11th year in London and seen by 15 million people worldwide, this hilarious, multi-award-winning and record-breaking phenomenon boasts a fantastic score of killer Queen tunes that you just can't resist singing along to.

Dining Delights Discovering the classic Chicago hot dog By CARYN ROUSSEAU Associated Press CHICAGO (AP) — Doug Sohn has made an art of the traditional Chicago-style hot dog, replete with mustard, onions, pickle relish, dill spear, tomatoes, celery salt and sport peppers. (No ketchup!) B u t i f y o u s t o p y o u r o rd e r there, you’ll miss much of the joy of eating at his Hot Doug’s restaurant on the city’s northwest side. Because what really draws the crowds — and foodies from afar — is Sohn’s menu filled with rare sausages c u r a t e d t o o ff e r u p s p i c y a n d sweet, ethnic and American, and all served for about $10 or less. It’s what earns Hot Doug’s the t i t l e “ T h e S a u s a g e S u p e r s t o re and Encased Meat Emporium.” Things like smoked and spicy alligator sausage with crayfish etoufee mayonnaise and smoked blue cheese drizzled with honey; or apple, pear and port wine elk sausage with cherryapricot mustard, double cream brie and pate de campagne; or even red mole turkey sausage with chipotle Dijonnaise, queso asadero and fried tortillas. Sohn has a rotating stockpile of about 100 recipes that he’s created and gets his meats from about dozen sausage makers. He says he knew he hit it big when the sausage companies started coming to him. So there are two menus, the basic hot dogs, Polish sausages, bratwursts and corn dogs. That menu doesn’t change, though the names of the dishes do. For example, a hot link is now known as an Anna Kendrick (previously Britney Spears, Jennifer Garner or Keira Knightley). The other menu lists the gourmet dogs and it changes week-to-week, based on i n v e n t o r y, a n d h a s a b o u t a dozen dogs on it. “There are new ones coming o n a n d o ff t h e b o a rd a l l t h e time,” Sohn said recently. He also serves fries made in rendered duck fat, but only on Fridays and Saturdays. Foie gras is on the menu, too. This g o t S o h n i n t o s o m e t ro u b l e a few years ago when Chicago banned the goose and duck liver d e l i c a c y. H e w a s f i n e d $ 2 5 0 when he refused to stop serving it. T h e c i t y l a t e r re p e a l e d t h e ban. It’s no surprise that the line into Hot Doug’s can stretch along the side of Sohn’s brick Chicago two-flat before his 10:30 a.m. opening, and sometimes down the block. He’s got fans. His book, “Hot Doug’s: The Book,” features pages filled with people who have Hot Doug’s tattoos. Inside, the walls are decorated with hot dog-themed pictures, posters and memorabilia, including “Critical Links: A History of Encased Meats.” Sohn said his clientele include tourists, mostly on Saturdays, but also mothers and children, police officers and construction w o r k e r s . Yo u c a n t e l l i t ’ s important that he not only be seen as a gourmet hot dog connoisseur.

On the Edge of the Weekend

Dining Delights Changing demographics change taste buds By SUZETTE LABOY and J.M. HIRSCH Associated Press MIAMI (AP) — Salsa overtaking ketchup as America’s No. 1 condiment was just the start. These days, tortillas outsell burger and hot dog buns; sales of tortilla chips trump potato chips; and tacos and burritos have become so ubiquitously “American,” most people don’t even consider them ethnic. Welcome to the taste of American food in 2013. As immigrant and minority populations rewrite American demographics, the nation’s collective menu is reflecting this flux, as it always has. And it goes beyond the mainstreaming of once-esoteric ethnic ingredients, something we’ve seen with everything from soy sauce to jalapenos. This is a rewrite of the American menu at the macro level, an evolution of whole patterns of how people eat. The difference this time? The biggest culinary voting bloc is Hispanic. “When you think about pizza and spaghetti, it’s the same thing,” says Jim Kabbani, CEO of the Tortilla Industry Association. “People consider them American, not ethnic. It’s the same with tortillas.” With Hispanics making up more than a quarter of the U.S. population today — and growing fast — experts say this change is dramatically flavoring the American culinary experience. Hispanic foods and beverages were an $8 billion market in the last year, according to consumer research firm Packaged Facts. By 2017, that number may reach $11 billion. And that’s influencing how all Americans eat. Doritos, after all, are just tarted-up tortilla chips. As the entire menu of the American diet gets rewritten, the taste is getting spicier, with salsa and chipotle popping into the mainstream vernacular. And onto your dinner table: Marie Callender ’s has grilled shrimp street tacos with chipotle ranch dressing; Whataburger has a fireroasted blend of poblano peppers in its chicken fajita taco; and there’s tomatillo verde salsa in the baja shrimp stuffed quesadilla from El Pollo Loco. From queso fresco to chorizo, traditional Hispanic foods — or even just the flavors of them — are making their way into our everyday diet, particularly among the millennials — those born 2013 Our 70th Annual

SAUSAGE DINNER & SUPPER

between the early ‘80s and the turn of the century. Generation Y’s Hispanic community was born into an American culture but still holds onto its traditions, often eating white rice and seamlessly switching between English and Spanish. “They are looking for products that are not necessarily big brands anymore,” says Michael Bellas, chairman of the Beverage Marketing Corporation. “They like brands that have character. They are looking for authenticity and purity, but they are also looking for new experiences.” For example, popular among the millennials and other generations on the West Coast is the Mexican soda Jarritos, which boasts real fruit flavors ranging from mango to guava. The company’s site showcases a collage of photos taken by Generation Y soda drinkers. Brightly colored sodas pop through their clear vintagelooking bottles. And the bottle caps share a simple message: “Que buenos son,” or “They’re so good.” Another Hispanic beverage making ever more rounds in households across America is tequila. In 2006, nearly 107 million of liters of tequila were exported to the U.S., a 23 percent increase over 2005, according to Judith Meza, representative of the Tequila Regulatory Council. Tequila entered the top 10 of liquors in the world five years ago, she said. Even our choice of side dishes is feeling the influence. In general, Americans are eating fewer of them. Except white rice, a staple of Hispanic cuisines, says Darren Seifer, a food and beverage analyst for The NPD Group, a consumer marketing organization. Americans ate rice on its own as a side dish (not counting as

an ingredient in another dish) an average of 24 times in 2013, up from 20 servings in 2003, according to NPD’s National Eating Trend. Why has rice resisted the death of the side dish? It’s one of the traditions millennial Hispanics have held onto, says Seifer. And that’s just the start. Rice also was the top-rated side dish in a National Restaurant Association chefs survey of what’s hot. The same survey also found chefs touting taquitos as appetizers; ethnicinspired breakfast items such as chorizo scrambled eggs; exotic fruits including guava; queso fresco as an ingredient; and Peruvian cuisine. The influence goes deeper than the numbers. Like Italian food before it, Hispanic food enjoys broad adoption because it is easy for Americans to cook at home. Few Americans will roll their own sushi, but plenty are happy to slap together a quesadilla. Hispanic ingredients also are more common than those of Indian or other Asian cuisines. Ditto for the equipment. While nearly every American home has a skillet for sauteing (a common cooking method in Hispanic cuisines), only 28 percent of homes have a wok, according to NPD. All of this has meant a near complete loss of ethnicity for many Hispanic foods. Americans now more closely associate tacos, tortilla chips and burritos with fast food than with Hispanic culture. “The Hispanic market isn’t the only one driving that taste profile,” says Tom Dempsey, CEO of the Snack Food Association. “As manufacturers become more innovative on how to use tortilla chips, that will continue to take a larger share of the snack marketplace.” Tortilla dollar sales increased at a faster pace in supermarket sales than potato chips this year (3.7 percent vs. 2.2 percent over a 52week period), according to InfoScan

YCG Accounting

assistant professor of marketing at Florida International University. A healthier option many Americans are choosing is the tomato-based salsa, which beat ketchup sales 2-1, according to IRI, a Chicago-based market research firm. This isn’t simply a matter of Hispanics buying more of their traditional foods. At the grocer, Hispanic ingredients have moved well beyond the international aisle, sometimes commandeering entire aisles of their own or, increasingly, mingling freely with the rest of the products. Tortillas and taco kits outsell hamburgers and hot dog buns, according to the latest edition of Hispanic Foods and Beverages in the U.S. Packaged food is also playing a major role. “If I would look at 10 shopping carts, about half would have taco shells, the Americanized components to make enchiladas or tacos, or frozen chimichangas,” says Terry Soto, president and CEO of About Marketing Solutions, a consulting firm specializing in the Hispanic market. There are more non-Hispanics buying those types of foods, she says. “There is a larger segment of the population that wants the real thing. It’s not so much the products becoming mainstream. It’s about ethnic food becoming that much more of what we eat on a day-to-day basis.”

Reviews, a retail tracking service. Though potato chips continue to be the top-selling salted snack in terms of pounds sold, “the growth of tortilla chips is a little bit more robust than the growth of potato chips,” Dempsey says. “And both tortilla chips and potato chips are reflecting greater influence from the Hispanic taste profile than in previous years.” Which is to say, even allAmerican potato chips are increasingly being flavored with traditionally Hispanic ingredients. Care for Lay’s “Chile Limon” chips? How about some “Queso Flavored” Ruffles? Maybe some Pringles Jalapeno? And of course there’s the old standard — Nacho Cheese Doritos. As testament to their popularity, the Tortilla Industry Association estimates that Americans consumed approximately 85 billion tortillas in 2000. And that’s just tortillas straight up. It doesn’t include chips. “Having been raised on Wonder bread,” Kabbani, the group’s CEO, reminisced of his childhood days, “I didn’t think that this could displace the sliced bread that was such an item of the American kitchen.” But parents are picking healthier options to wrap their child’s lunch every day, he said. “When it comes to health, the Mexican cuisines cater better to that with salsas and vegetables,” says Alexandra Aguirre Rodriguez, an
