Fraudster faces jail and a lifetime of really lame ‘Seinfeld’ jokes
Oddly, no one has any interest in sharing bridesmaid dresses
A man named Newman was sentenced Tuesday in Saratoga County, N.Y., to 28 months to 7 years in prison for posing as an architect. Paul J. Newman also was ordered to pay $115,000 to his victims. He had pleaded guilty to grand larceny and fraud after a state investigation dubbed “Operation Vandelay Industries” — a reference to a long-running joke on “Seinfeld.” A character named Newman was Jerry Seinfeld’s nemesis on the sitcom.

A Nebraska woman is lending her wedding dress free to brides on tight budgets. Dawnetta Heinz started sharing the dress — strapless, with a beaded bodice — just a month ago, and it’s already been borrowed by two brides, with eight others showing interest. Heinz said she bought the dress on sale for $550. One of the brides who married in the dress, Valarie Fitzgerald, said she “can’t wait to see how far this dress goes.” (AP)

‘Female is having a baby, like right now!’
Baby Carlos was delivered by Prince George’s County officer Nick Cicale along a highway last week.
“Female is having a baby, like right now!” Cicale radioed to dispatchers around 9:40 p.m. Cicale slipped on some gloves, and after a few good contractions, a boy, Carlos, entered the world. “Little Carlos literally came flying out,” Cicale said. “I literally caught him.” “Baby is out,” Cicale told dispatchers less than five minutes after stopping. The 19-year-veteran of the
police department visited baby Carlos and the infant’s family Tuesday afternoon, five days after the officer stopped along East-West Highway in University Park to play stork. Carlos Sura and his wife, Sara Granados, thanked the officer for helping them make a special delivery. Cicale presented baby Carlos with a tiny outfit made to look like a police uniform, and a stuffed police K-9 in a vest. “There’s a future police officer right there,” Cicale joked as the infant slept nearby in a car seat with the stuffed dog nuzzling against his chest. Cicale, who works for the K-9 section, said he has one son, but never thought he’d be involved with delivering a baby. He said Granados did all the hard work. “I was just there to catch him,” Cicale said. Sura and Granados said they were thankful Cicale was at the right place at the right time. “I’m very happy,” Sura said. “Everything is good now.” LYNH BUI (THE WASHINGTON POST)

New stand at U-Md. stadium gets crabby In advance of Saturday’s home football opener, Maryland’s athletic department announced some “exciting new menu items” at Maryland Stadium, centered around the new Maryland Pride stand. Included among these items is the Baltimore Cheese Steak. “What’s a Baltimore Cheese Steak?” you ask. It’s a sliced rib-eye steak on a roll topped with cheese, Old Bay and sherry mixture. The Maryland Pride stand will also sell a half-pound crab cake, above, and a gigantic soft pretzel baked with back-fin crab dip. (TWP)
A Giant grocery store in Sterling, Va., sold a winning $3 million lottery ticket. The ticket matched the first five numbers in a $61 million Mega Millions lottery drawing Tuesday night. Usually, a match of five numbers would mean a $1 million win. But the buyer spent an extra buck and did the Megaplier. The Megaplier was “3x,” so that means the winner’s ticket is now worth three times as much. The winner has 180 days from the date of the lottery draw to claim the prize. (TWP)

PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY The man in the blue minivan hollered at Sgt. Nick Cicale for help as they were stopped at the light at a busy intersection Thursday night. The driver of the van yelled that his wife was about to have a baby. “Right now?” the Prince George’s police officer yelled back. “Providence Hospital! Providence Hospital!” Carlos Sura kept screaming through the rolled-down window of the van. Cicale followed, planning to make sure the family reached the hospital safely. But not more than 200 yards away from where the father in the van first waved down the officer, it was time. Sura pulled over and flung open the doors of the van as his wife was in full labor, with the baby’s head crowning as Cicale approached.

EVELYN HOCKSTEIN (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)
THE DISTRICT Leaders at Washington National Cathedral, the closest thing in the country’s capital to an official church, have decided after two years of study and debate to remove two stained-glass windows honoring Confederate figures Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson. Saying the stories told in the two 4-by-6-foot windows were painful, distracting and one-sided, a majority of the Cathedral’s governing body voted to remove the windows Tuesday. On Wednesday morning, stonemasons were at work putting up scaffolding to begin taking out the art, which was installed 64 years ago. “This isn’t simply a conversation about the history of the windows, but a very real conversation in the wider culture about how the Confederate flag and the Old South narrative have been lively symbols today for white supremacists. We’d be made of stone ourselves if we weren’t paying attention to that,” said Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, leader of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, which includes the cathedral. The cathedral is the official seat of the Episcopal Church, a small Protestant denomination

that historically has counted many of America’s elite as members, including presidents from George Washington to George H.W. Bush. The removal of the windows, which will take a couple of days, reflects a flurry of national debate over whether to take down monuments, statues or art that honor Confederates in both public and private spaces across the country. Budde and Cathedral Dean Randy Hollerith said the governing board voted “overwhelmingly” Tuesday to remove the windows, but acknowledged there were opponents who felt the windows are part of the cathedral and U.S. history and could be contextualized rather than removed. The windows are among about 200 in the soaring Gothic building, in addition to hundreds of
other carvings and fabric and other kinds of art. They each have four panels. One honors the life of Jackson and the other of Lee. They show the men at points in their academic, military and spiritual lives. Kevin Eckstrom, a cathedral spokesman, noted that the men are praised in wording alongside the windows as pious Christians. “The problem is that they are shown as saints,” he said. The cathedral plans to keep the windows and find a way to display them that includes historical context, he said. “People ask: ‘Are we whitewashing history and trying to forget reality?’ But the truth is that slavery is as old as the Bible. But we believe in a God that liberates slaves,” he said. MICHELLE BOORSTEIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Council votes to move statue of Stonewall The Charlottesville City Council has voted to remove a second Confederate monument from a public park. The council’s vote Tuesday night on the statue of Gen. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson was unanimous. It comes weeks after a white nationalist rally in the city descended into violence. The rally was sparked in part by the city’s decision earlier this year to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. The council had initially planned to leave the Jackson statue in place, but reconsidered in light of the violence. Both statues will remain for now, while a lawsuit over their removal plays out. The city has draped them both with black tarps as a symbol of mourning for Heather Heyer, who was killed at the rally. (AP)
VA. DEATH ROW INMATES
The number of death row inmates in Virginia, the fewest since July 1979, shortly after the state resumed carrying out executions following a 1976 Supreme Court ruling that reinstated the death penalty in the U.S. The number of death row inmates in Virginia peaked in 1995 at at least 57, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported Tuesday. None have been added in more than five years. The inmates are: Thomas A. Porter, 41; Anthony Juniper, 45; Mark Lawlor, 52; and William Burns, 51. Virginia executed Ricky Gray and William Morva earlier this year. (AP) Head of independent review on handling of Charlottesville protests sets up website, tip line
An investigation into a longrunning credit card-fraud scheme in the D.C. area led last week to the exposure of a dogfighting ring called the “DMV Board,” prosecutors said. The government seized seven pit bulls from a home in Southeast D.C. and six from a home in Temple Hills, Md., that had been searched as part of the credit card probe. Court filings suggest that Rodriguez Rodney Lomax Norman, part of the credit cardfraud probe, was also organizing dogfights in the D.C. area. Three others named only by initials are accused of involvement in the dogfighting ring. (TWP) PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY

local VIRGINIA Americans for Prosperity, the group financed by the billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch, is going on air to attack Virginia Democratic gubernatorial contender Ralph Northam as part of a multimillion-dollar campaign. A commercial set to air today on cable networks statewide blasts Northam, the sitting lieutenant governor, for missing board meetings of the Virginia Economic Development Partnership. The partnership, created by the state legislature in 1995 to
boost economic development, has long been criticized for waste and dysfunction. In 2014, while Northam served on its board of directors, the agency approved a $1.4 million state grant to a Chinese firm that promised to open a factory in Appomattox County but never did. The money was never returned to the state. Levi Russell, a spokesman for Americans for Prosperity, said the ad buy ranges from $1 million to $2 million, and will run for three weeks. Northam faces Republican Ed Gillespie, a longtime GOP party operative

Northam’s campaign aides said the Democrat had a limited involvement with the grant. “Relying on misleading facts to manufacture false attacks is a sure sign of a flailing campaign that’s hoping for traction,” said Ofirah Yheskel, a Northam spokeswoman. “Ed Gillespie, a K Street lobbyist and the architect of dark money in politics, is so desperate that he needs to be bailed out by the Koch brothers.” FENIT NIRAPPIL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

She said his shoes and cellphone were taken. She said the principal apologized and pledged to see that the boy got on the right bus Wednesday, which was the first day of classes.

bypassed the budget process and diverted extra money for schools away from revenue-hungry jurisdictions such as Prince George’s County and Baltimore. The updated cuts, the board said, are part of an effort to decrease spending ahead of an expected shortfall of $742 million. Hogan said state budget officials “sat down and discussed it, made some adjustments, and I think it’s something that we can all be proud of.” Franchot, in explaining his support for the administration’s final proposal, said that “having a conservative, cautious approach to fiscal matters in the state is a line of defense for our taxpayers.” JOSH HICKS

DACA’s economic impact
Trump’s harsh message to immigrants could hamper U.S. growth

Michelle Obama revels in bold transformation
JOSE LUIS MAGAN (AP)
IMMIGRATION James Harrison, the owner of a Phoenix-based specialty construction firm, employs three workers protected by an Obama-era immigration program that the Trump administration took steps Tuesday to eliminate. Should those workers be deported, Harrison doubts he would find other workers to replace them anytime soon. “These are some of my top guys,” Harrison said. “They don’t drink, they don’t do drugs, they don’t do anything but work.” His on-the-ground viewpoint couldn’t be more different from that of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who made the questionable assertion Tuesday that the Obama administration’s measure “denied jobs to hundreds of thousands of Americans by allowing those same jobs to go to illegal aliens.” Nearly all economists and most business leaders reject Sessions’ view. Ending the program, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, won’t boost U.S. employment at a time when an aging workforce and a low jobless rate have left many employers struggling to find skilled workers. Eliminating the program might even cost jobs in the long run, they say. The program allows

immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children to stay in the U.S., attend school and find jobs. Those who benefit are sometimes called “Dreamers.” The administration said the measure will be phased out over six months while Congress considers a replacement plan. Economists warn that eliminating DACA, along with other steps the Trump administration has taken, such as banning travel from several Muslim nations and proposing cuts to legal immigration, could inflict longterm damage on the economy. The proposals could discourage potential immigrants, including

(AP)
those with advanced degrees and skills, from entering the U.S. Some immigrants already in the U.S. might refrain from starting businesses, analysts say.
Studies have found the economic damage caused by expelling DACA recipients would be modest but noticeable. The libertarian Cato Institute estimated it would cost the U.S. economy $215 billion over 10 years, a small drop given that the nation’s output is roughly $17 trillion a year. But most economists see immigration generally as an economic boon. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, said: “If you want to raise the economy’s underlying growth rate, we should be increasing immigration, not reducing it.” LARRY NEUMEISTER AND GENE JOHNSON (AP)

Is this the woman Michelle Obama sees when she looks in the mirror now? After more than a decade of media scrutiny, can she shed the sheath dress and pearls for a wide-brim black hat and dookie braids? She just did. By joining 15 other members of Beyonce’s inner circle to wish the singer a happy birthday, Obama reclaimed her image from all the stodgy first lady portraits. And she did it by embodying Beyonce’s. The image, in case you haven’t seen it, shows the women presenting an iconic look from Queen Bey’s “Formation” video. Obama’s participation alone was jaw-dropping. Both the former first lady and the singer carefully consider any image they put out there. What’s Obama telling us with this one? One clear statement is that she loved “Formation,” undeniably one of Beyonce’s most overtly political tracks. Also, Obama is signaling that she embraces the song as an anthem for black womanhood and is not afraid to spark her own conversation. Obama is not only channeling her “inner Beyonce,” she’s reveling in it. It is a full-on deviation from the former first lady playbook. She is ripping that up in one potent image.

POLITICS President Trump overruled congressional Republicans and his own treasury secretary Wednesday and cut a deal with Democrats to fund the government and raise the federal borrowing limit for three months, all part of an agreement to speed up money for Harvey relief. In the course of a relatively brief negotiating session at the White House, Trump largely sided with Democratic leaders as they pushed for the three-month deal. He brushed aside calls from Republican congressional leaders and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin for a longer extension to the debt limit, which Republicans had been aiming for to avoid having to take another vote on the politically toxic issue before the 2018 elections. Trump then boarded a plane to North Dakota with Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, in an effort to garner bipartisan support for tax legislation that Republican leaders are crafting on a purely partisan basis. That continued the day of bizarre disconnects between the president and the

leaders of his party. “We had a very good meeting with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One, not mentioning House Speaker Paul Ryan or Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who also were present. The deal promises to speed the $7.9 billion Hurricane Harvey aid bill, which passed the House overwhelmingly Wednesday, to Trump’s desk before disaster accounts run out later this week. The move also buys almost three months, until Dec. 15, for Washington to try to solve myriad other issues, including more funding for the military, immigration and health care.

nation+world Investigators conclude government of Syria launched April 4 strike SYRIA Syrian President Bashar alAssad’s air force conducted a sarin gas attack that killed at least 83 civilians in April, one of 20 chemical weapons attacks perpetrated by the Syrian government in the past four years, U.N.-mandated investigators said Wednesday. The investigators also appealed to the U.S.-led coalition to better
protect civilians as it strikes at Islamic State militants in the east. The latest report by the Commission of Inquiry on Syria offers among the strongest evidence yet for allegations that Assad’s forces carried out the April 4 attack on Khan Sheikhoun in rebel-held Idlib province in which dozens were killed. The U.S. blamed the Syrian government and launched a punitive strike on Shayrat air base, where the report says the Sukhoi-22 plane took off. Syrian officials have denied responsibility, and said last month that they would allow the U.N. to

Russia says the U.S. rushed to judgment and blamed Assad without visiting the site. “We have analyzed all the other interpretations” of who might have conducted the attack, commission chairman Paulo Pinheiro said. “It is our task to verify these allegations, and we concluded ... that this attack was perpetrated by the Syrian air force.” The report covers March to early July, and is based on information retrieved from satellite images, video, photos, medical records and over 300 interviews.

Irma pounds Caribbean

IRMA Hurricane Irma barreled toward the U.S. mainland Wednesday, prompting counties in Florida to begin evacuations while the “potentially catastrophic Category 5” storm menaced Puerto Rico and battered a wide swath of the Caribbean. Forecasters said Irma posed an increasing threat to South Florida, a sprawling and densely populated mass of cities and suburbs hugging the coastline. As dire warnings mounted, schools and offices across the state began to shut down, grocery store shelves were wiped clean and authorities ordered evacuations, with more to follow. The most powerful hurricane to threaten the Atlantic coast in more than a decade, Irma has swelled into a monster force with maximum sustained winds near 185 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center. Irma’s “extremely dangerous core” moved over the Virgin Islands Wednesday and began lashing Puerto Rico, according to the center. Irma’s eye passed over Barbuda at around 1:47 a.m. Wednesday, the National Weather Service said, while on the French Caribbean islands of St. Martin and St. Barthelemy, residents were ordered to remain indoors. Barbuda took a direct hit and the weather station there registered a wind gust of 155 mph before going offline, while the storm surge on the island reached at least 8 feet. Midcie Francis, spokesperson for the National Office of Disaster Services for Antigua and Barbuda, said the government had so far confirmed one death on Barbuda and heavy destruction, The Associated Press reported.

Florida begins evacuations as hurricane with 185 mph winds barrels toward U.S.
Motorists head out of Miami on Wednesday, ahead of Irma’s approach.
“A significant number of the houses have been totally destroyed,” said Lionel Hurst, the prime minister’s chief of staff. By Wednesday morning, the National Hurricane Center said Irma’s eye had passed over St. Martin, where Irma ripped off roofs and knocked out all electricity, and warned that the storm could bring dangers including life-threatening storm surges, destructive winds, flash floods and mud slides to Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, the Bahamas and beyond. Late Wednesday, the storm roared toward Puerto Rico,
Two more hurricanes Also Wednesday, Tropical Storm Katia formed in the Gulf of Mexico off Mexico’s coast and rapidly became a hurricane. It had sustained winds of 75 mph by the afternoon and the government of Mexico issued a hurricane watch for the coast of the state of Veracruz. Another tropical storm farther east in the Atlantic became a hurricane Wednesday evening. Hurricane Jose posed no immediate threat to land but meteorologists warned the storm’s path could change, according to the hurricane center. Jose had winds of 75 mph and was quickly strengthening.

where some neighborhoods already had lost power. Farther north, the Florida Keys on Wednesday morning ordered the first mandatory evacuations triggered by Irma in the U.S. Monroe County, the southernmost county in Florida and home to the Keys, began mandatory evacuations of tourists and visitors. The county is also home to about 80,000 residents, who were ordered to evacuate beginning Wednesday evening. Even as the full devastation from Hurricane Harvey was still being tallied in Texas and along the Gulf Coast, authorities have shifted their attention to Florida, with a particular unease in South Florida, home to 6 million people across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties — many of whom vividly remember Hurricane Andrew’s onslaught a quarter-century ago. Hundreds of thousands of people scrambled to get out of South Florida as the storm loomed, while airlines began canceling flights and issuing waivers. Broward County Mayor Barbara Sharief said mandatory evacuations would begin today for people in the eastern portion of the county. The National Weather Service said Wednesday that the threat to South Florida “continues to increase,” with concerns about what could happen between Friday night and Monday. “This storm is bigger, faster and stronger than Hurricane Andrew,” Florida Gov. Rick Scott said. “Do not sit and wait for the storm to come. It is extremely dangerous and deadly and will cause devastation. Get prepared right now.” FRANCISCO ALVARADO AND MARK BERMAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Facebook says Russia bought political ads POLITICS Representatives of Facebook told congressional investigators Wednesday that it the company has discovered it sold ads during the U.S. presidential election to a shadowy Russian company seeking to target voters, according to several people familiar with the findings. Facebook officials reported that they traced the ad sales, totaling $100,000, to a Russian “troll farm” with a history of pushing pro-Kremlin propaganda, these people said. A small portion of the ads, which began in the summer of 2015, directly named Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton, the people said. Most of the ads focused on pumping politically divisive issues such as gun rights and immigration fears. The acknowledgment by Facebook follows months of criticism that the social media company served as a platform for the spread of false information before the November election. Facebook discovered the Russian connection as part of an investigation looking at purchasers of politically motivated ads. It found that 3,300 ads had digital footprints that led to the Russian company. The report from Facebook that a Russian firm was able to target political messages is likely to fuel questions from investigators about whether the Russians received guidance from people in the United States.

Poll: Despite brain injuries and anthem protests, the NFL remains No. 1 with public NFL As the NFL opens its season tonight, the league faces myriad challenges. A growing body of science connects playing football to dire brain-related health risks. Ratings sagged last season. Quality of play has been scrutinized.
Another high-profile player finds himself enmeshed in a domesticabuse scandal. Some fans are upset about players protesting during the national anthem, and others are angry that protester Colin Kaepernick has no job. Despite those issues and other
apparent threats to the league’s health, Americans’ zeal for football has shown no sign of abating. Pro football remains the most followed sport in America by a wide margin, and its massive popularity has not waned in recent years, according to a nationwide poll conducted in August by The Washington Post and the University of Massachusetts Lowell. Six in 10 Americans say they are fans of pro football, roughly similar to polls in 2012 and up from 50 percent in a 2008 Post poll. Fandom for pro football far outpaces professional baseball at 45 percent of Americans and pro basketball at 39 percent. Asked which sport is their favorite to watch, 37 percent say football, little changed from 35 percent in a 2012 Post poll and more than triple the percentage who pick baseball or basketball. Football’s dangers and drawbacks have not turned away younger fans poised to become the NFL’s core fan base. Among Americans 18 to 29, 61 percent say they are football fans, roughly the same as the public overall. Furthermore, adults

under 30 are the most likely age demographic to say their interest in football has increased, at 41 percent. Poll results indicated NFL fans recognize the danger the sport poses to its players but have chosen to watch anyway. In July, a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association said 110 of 111 brains of former football players had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, a degenerative brain disease associated with hits to the head. “I don’t have a problem watching it if they are dumb enough to make those choices for the big bucks,” said Toni Hendershot, a 70-year-old from Montana. But some Americans are turning away. Twenty-three percent, say their interest in pro football has decreased in recent years. Why? Some 24 percent of those respondents cite politics, like the national anthem protests Kaepernick initiated last year. Ten percent of those with decreased interest say there are too many penalties or delays. Just 7 percent cite injuries. ADAM KILGORE AND

Vandeweghe beats top seed Pliskova U.S. OPEN CoCo Vandeweghe made it three Americans into the U.S. Open women’s semifinals, beating topseeded Karolina Pliskova 7-6 (4), 6-3 on Wednesday in New York. The 20th-seeded Vandeweghe matched her best result in a Grand Slam tournament, having also reached the semifinals of the Australian Open in January before falling to Venus Williams. Williams is also into the semifinals in Flushing Meadows; she’ll play Sloane Stephens today. No. 15 Madison Keys could make it an all-American final four Wednesday night, when she faced 418th-ranked qualifier Kaia Kanepi in a match that ended after Express’ deadline. The Americans haven’t had all four semifinalists at the U.S. Open since 1981, when Tracy
Austin beat Martina Navratilova for the title. Chris Evert and Barbara Potter also made the semifinals. Pliskova, who lost to Angelique Kerber in the 2016 final, needed to get back to the final to remain atop the WTA rankings. She will be replaced Monday by Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza, who lost in the fourth round. Vandeweghe, 25, is the daughter of Olympic swimmer Tauna Vandeweghe. Her grandfather, Ernie, and uncle, Kiki, played in the NBA. In men’s play Wednesday, top seed Rafael Nadal routed 19-year-old Andrey Rublev 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 in a quarterfinal.

Little Red Fox and Fox Loves Taco chef Bobby Dodd prepares vegetables like meat: For the Power Up taco, he cuts the mushrooms thick, as though they were steaks, and marinates them in olive oil, thyme and garlic. The cauliflower chorizo in the Kwasi taco is seared at high heat to give it a crispy, sausage-like mouthfeel. “I think when you say ‘taco,’ people have so many expectations, but the fun thing about this menu is it allows us to play with colors and textures,” Dodd says.

Better known as his alter ego — Shi-Queeta-Lee — Jerry VanHook is one of D.C.’s leading female impersonators, as well as the founder of VanHook Productions, a troupe of male and female impersonators that travels nationally. As Shi-Queeta-Lee, VanHook, 52, specializes in impersonating R&B divas, including Rihanna, Mary J. Blige and Tina Turner; Shi-Queeta-Lee’s Turner even rocked the White House in 2016 in what was (probably) the first drag performance there. D.C. residents most often see VanHook in action as one of the performers at Nellie’s Sports Bar’s weekend drag brunches or at Town Danceboutique on Fridays and Saturdays. How VanHook would spend an entire day off might surprise you — it’s less camp and more camping. When I don’t have to work, I don’t get up until after 12. I just purchased an RV, so I spend a lot of time out at the campground, trying to plan my day, where I want to drive to sightsee or explore in the RV. [I like] the Cosca Regional Park in Clinton, Md. It’s a relaxing atmosphere. It’s not really, really busy, popping like most RV grounds are. [The RV is] a 31-footer, it sleeps eight people — two queen-size beds, two bunk beds, two pull-out beds. Kitchen, dinette, living room,
fully equipped bathroom, two showers. It’s nicer than my first apartment.
but [here] I go to Sarah Fabrics in Takoma Park, [Md.], or Vien Dong in [Falls Church], Va.
Because I deal with the public on weekends, performing for people I’ve never seen, don’t know, would never meet, a day to relax and not work — it’s amazing to be by myself. I also spend half of my day picking up different costumes and designs to make, so I spend a lot of time in the fabric stores. I prefer to go up to New York, to the fashion district,
If people come to town, I take them down to the monuments, but now they have the MGM [National Harbor] and that’s a very nice place to relax. I don’t spend too much, but I like the atmosphere. I only play the slot machines — the 50 cents or the dollar. I hate losing money because I love making money. (AS TOLD TO KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY)

weekendpass So you like getting to see an audience watch the show? Yeah, it’s nice, too, because I’m really appreciative of the fans. Most of the people find out about the show through a friend of theirs forcing them to watch it. The way we make the show, we also try to make it so people laugh out loud, you know, not just smile and watch, so I think showing stuff live keeps me in check, like, “Oh, this is actually something that makes people laugh versus just pleasant TV,” you know? We want people to feel something when they watch the show.
Q+A | NATHAN FIELDER
He just can’t help it
COMEDY CENTRAL/EXPRESS ILLUSTRATION
There are genuinely human moments on the show that make it unlike anything else on TV. This season, I would bet people will have the most feelings of any season. We definitely go into different territory this year, so I’m curious to know what people think.
The comic gets in everyone’s business on ‘Nathan for You’ — and makes odd TV magic
COMEDY CENTRAL’S BUSINESS-MAKEOVER SHOW “NATHAN FOR YOU” follows host Nathan Fielder as he
tries to help struggling small businesses turn their luck around. The real-life Fielder, a Canadian comedian and business school grad who plays a needier, more awkward version of himself for the series, has created an absurdist parody of a reality TV staple, concocting business ideas that are more about getting laughs than results (in the pilot, he convinced a fro-yo shop to launch a poopflavored dessert). But because Fielder interacts with real, unassuming business owners, the series is also an oddly earnest examination of the human condition. When Fielder tried to rebrand a real estate agent as the Ghost Realtor, who would guarantee to potential buyers whether a home was haunted or not, she unexpectedly revealed her own harrowing experiences with ghosts — a genuine moment that came out of a ridiculous idea. “Some of the best stuff comes from when people bring up something or something happens within shooting that you don’t expect at all,” Fielder says. Ahead of Sept. 28’s Season 4 premiere, Fielder is bringing a “Nathan for You” sneak peek to the Lincoln Theatre, where he’ll show clips from new episodes, answer fan questions and more. RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS) Season 3 ended in 2015, so it’s been a long wait for Season 4. What have you been up to? Well, between seasons we’ve been making the new season. I did break my foot at one point,
so we kind of had to stop for that, but we did some more stuff this season that changed the format a bit. For example, [on Sept. 21 there’s] a one-hour special called “Nathan for You: A Celebration,”
where I revisit past guests and stories from the show. I’m really excited about that because I think it’s very different. And our finale this year started as something that we
thought, ‘Oh, maybe this could be an episode,’ and then it turned into this two-hour story that’s going to be aired all together. What can fans expect from your live shows? I don’t like to talk too much about what these shows are, but I have a couple of things planned. I’m going to be showing some stuff from the new season, but what I show kind of depends on the audience. One of the reasons I started to do these things is because when I started out [in comedy], I used to make short films every week and edit them myself and then I would show them for an audience. TV is different because it just goes out there and you don’t get to see how people are responding to it.
Does that mean there is less of you helping businesses? Well, there is that stuff; we definitely have the more traditional episodes — I would say that’s half the season — but there are things that kind of evolved just from making the show and things that happened. Switching gears: Some people don’t think President Trump is doing a good job in office. If he came to you for a segment on the show, what would you do to turn his administration around? I guess it depends what your goal is. He seems to be into ratings, right? So in that way, he’s doing well, right? In that aspect? So it’s hard to know without knowing his goal. If he’s trying to get attention, then yes, he’s doing great. If he’s trying to make the world a better place … What do you think his goal is? I honestly don’t know. Just please don’t make the headline of the article “Nathan Fielder: ‘Trump is doing a good job.’ ”

‘Nathan for You’s’ biggest ideas Nathan Fielder’s outlandish business strategies often go viral before the episodes air. Here are three of his most infamous schemes, one from each season of “Nathan for You.” R.G. ‘Pig rescues baby goat’
Before anyone even knew what “Nathan for You” was, Fielder had already orchestrated one of his biggest viral successes. In 2012, he staged a video of a pig rescuing a baby goat from drowning to help a struggling petting zoo in California and it went viral (to date, it has nearly 10 million YouTube views). When the episode aired during Season 1 in 2013, Fielder showed how he made the video and what happened once it took off.
Dumb Starbucks
To help a Los Angeles coffee shop that was losing customers to big chains, Fielder in Season 2 followed parody law to create a version of Starbucks called Dumb Starbucks that looked exactly like a Starbucks, except “Dumb” preceded everything. He opened Dumb Starbucks as a pop-up art gallery and all the coffee was free. People were so drawn to this bizarre stunt (many speculated it was the work of anonymous street artist Banksy) that Fielder had to hold a press conference revealing that he was behind it.
During Season 3, Fielder discovered that his favorite jacket was made by a company, Taiga, that had ties to a Holocaust denier, so he created a nonprofit clothing company, Summit Ice, to raise funds for the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre. Fielder, who is Jewish, says Summit Ice has done more than $500,000 in sales and was run by interns at one point. “That stemmed out of this real thing that happened behind the scenes,” Fielder says. “As the show goes on, I’m attracted to those more and more because they feel so real in a way and they have these real stakes to them.”

Putting it all into the songs Nicole Atkins turned personal struggles and anxieties into her best record yet MUSIC Singer-songwriter Nicole Atkins remembers when knew she it was time to quit drinking. “I was making a record with my friend Jim Sclavunos from [Nick Cave’s] the Bad Seeds, who is one of my favorite people to make music with, and I wasn’t having any fun,” she says. The New Jersey native was depressed and unable to write. Something had to change. “It was weird because it was almost like after Hurricane Sandy, I couldn’t drink without being able to stop,” says Atkins, whose parents lost the first floor of their Asbury Park home in the 2012 storm. A little over two years ago, Atkins went to rehab and got clean — at least temporarily. Shortly after, she and her husband, a tour manager for rock bands, moved from Jersey to Nashville. He quickly hit the road while she worked on what would become her fourth album, “Goodnight Rhonda Lee.” It wasn’t an easy transition — getting sober and moving to a new city, especially without her husband home — and she came in and out of sobriety. The singer, who had melded pop, soul, country and indie rock over three albums, was anxious about finding her place in her new home.
“When you get to a town and everybody’s a musician and everybody plays a certain kind of music that you don’t always fit into, I just kinda felt like, what am I doing here?” she says. “I was with a bunch of new people and like, maybe I’m not an alcoholic, and it would always be fine until it wasn’t fine again.” Atkins, 38, channeled her struggle and anxieties into her best album yet, a soul-meetscountry-meets-crooner collection that highlights the drama of her powerful voice. Sober for just over six months now, Atkins overtly documents her battle on two piano-driven ballads: “Colors” and “A Night of Serious Drinking.” The former came after a relapse. She was in Jersey visiting family and broke down on her way back home to Nashville. “I wrote that song in tears in like five minutes on this train platform in Jersey waiting to go back to the airport,” she says. “That’s a tough song for me to sing but it was so good that that came out because I was like, even though this really sucks right now, this song’s really beautiful. I was able to see a lot of good things come out of these hopeless-seeming situations.” Nashville rubbed off on Atkins, as is apparent on the twangy title
A producer future? Nicole Atkins recently started taking on more production work, including a pair of songs for her friend Tommy Stinson, who played bass in The Replacements and now leads Bash & Pop. “I gave him a Flat Duo Jetsmeets-an-orchestra treatment and they just went with it,” she says. “[The songs] don’t sound like Bash & Pop — I mean, Tommy’s writing is there — but I love that he came to me to put what I do on his stuff.” R.G.
track, which is named after Atkins’ bowling name-turned-drunk alter ego. “It’s not even saying I’m putting it behind me,” Atkins says of the track, which she wrote with Chris Isaak. “It’s more so having a bit of empathy for that part of my personality.” Isaak also helped Atkins with the album’s opener, “A Little Crazy,” a powerhouse vocal performance in the vein of Roy Orbison’s “Crying.” “Goodnight Rhonda Lee” was recorded with members of Leon Bridges’ band, but Atkins was
uneasy about making a soul record until she had a realization. “I got nervous because it’s like, OK, I’m gonna make a soul record because I love singing that stuff, but also it made me realize that soul music is just songs that are soulful and are from your soul and what your soul sounds like,” she says. “Not thinking about hitting notes just to show off what I can do but just singing the emotions in the way they were meant to be sung.” And those emotions stick with her when she performs, even if it they can bring her back to darker times. “I feel like every time I sing certain songs, I’m living it for that three minutes,” she says. “It’s like I can go to that place or that person I wrote the songs about. Sometimes, I’m gonna start crying, but I like being able to go there because I won’t finish a song if I can’t feel it.” RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)

When his veteran partner is shot dead during a daring daylight robbery, LAPD police lieutenant Jim Cordell (Charles McGraw, at his toughest and most taciturn) vows revenge. Yes, it's that simple. But despite its meager premise, ARMORED CAR ROBBERY is a classic "B" thanks to Earl Fenton's ultra-hardboiled lingo, director Fleischer's briskly paced knockabout tour of 1950 Los Angeles and a cast of familiar supporting mugs (led by the reptilian William Talman), for once given center stage. They relish every minute of it, and so do we. (Note courtesy of Noir City.) DIR Richard Fleischer; SCR Earl Felton, Gerald Drayson Adams; PROD Herman Schlom. U.S., 1950, b&w, 67 min. NOT RATED

A trio of bandits (Lee Marvin, Stephen McNally and J.

Every plotline converges in this one-of-akind fusion of pulp fiction and Douglas Sirk-style melodrama, effortlessly balanced by director Richard Fleischer and shot in gorgeously lush CinemaScope. Don't miss your chance to see this small-town powder keg explode on the big screen. (Note courtesy of Noir City.) DIR Richard Fleischer; SCR

Desperate, he trails the thieves south of the border. There, he tangles with tough guys Neville Brand and Lee Van Cleef, who are as deep in the dark as he is, and falls for good girl Coleen Gray, under the suspicious eye of her cop father (Preston Foster). The first pairing of noir dream team Payne and director Phil Karlson (99 RIVER STREET) remains one of the great capers of the 1950s. (Note courtesy of Noir City.)

How bad does Steve Thompson (Burt Lancaster) have it for his old flame Anna (Yvonne De Carlo)? Bad enough to concoct an armored car robbery as an excuse to keep seeing her. Bad enough to cut a deal with her gangster husband, the always slippery Dan Duryea. Bad enough to see his scheme through to the bitter, bitter end. Robert Siodmak, pound for pound one of the great directors of film noir, delivers the pure, uncut stuff here, infusing this classic crime caper with an intoxicating aura of doomed romanticism.

Ex-private eye Robert Mitchum tries to make a new life in the country, but his past catches up with him in the person of his mob-boss former employer Kirk Douglas and bad girl Jane Greer, with whom Mitchum's earlier romantic idyll ended on a murderous note. Dizzyingly told in flashback, blending dreamy romanticism with doomy cynicism, this is the ultimate film noir, with the screen's most vicious love triangle: Mitchum, with his iconic trench coat and laconic cool; femme fatale Greer, a serial man-jilter whose duplicity and murderousness know no bounds; and Douglas, blending charm and menace in one of his best performances.

ROBBERY
Retire? Even after five years in the slammer, Jean Gabin's not ready to settle down with wife Viviane Romance until that last big score: knocking off a Cannes casino. The trouble is that his partner, ex-cellmate Alain Delon, is good at seducing a showgirl to get backstage, but is otherwise unprofessional. This suspenseful what-else-can-go-wrong big caper picture comes complete with a terrific jazz score, a hilarious final twist and a classic pairing of old and new stars in Gabin's last big U.S. arthouse hit. DIR Henri Verneuil; SCR Michel Audiard, Albert Simonin, from the
French superstar Alain Delon's first leading role in an Englishlanguage film highlights this ultra-hip 1960s heist yarn, shot entirely on location in San Francisco. The debonair Delon plays an ex-con settled into domestic semi-bliss with wife Ann-Margret, but when dogged cop Van Heflin puts the finger on him for a job he didn't pull, Delon has no choice but to throw in with his brother Jack Palance on an actual robbery. Based on a novel by local mystery man Zekial Marko, who also acts in the film and provides exceptional '60s-hipster dialogue. (Note courtesy of Noir City.)

The American noir crime thriller was widely appreciated in France, and the best translations are BOB LE FLAMBEUR and Jules Dassin's highly acclaimed heist film RIFIFI. The action is an arc — with a meticulous and silent 28-minute safe-cracking scene that is the center of the film, though not its climax. While the film takes place in Paris and exhibits classic French finesse, a particularly American tenacity adds the bite necessary to make it a perfectly balanced film noir.

Journalist Johnny Barrett (Peter Breck) gets himself committed to a mental institution to catch a killer—and hopefully win the Pulitzer Prize. In director, and former newspaperman, Samuel Fuller’s hands, a pulpy exploitation picture becomes a bare-knuckled allegory of American madness—racism, bigotry, and atomic warfare. Barrett's mental health is steadily chipped away by his obsessive pursuit of the truth and countless traumas while "on the inside," from an attack by nymphomaniacs to exposure to electroshock therapy. The film's low to no budget doesn't stop Stanley Cortez (THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER, THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS) from lensing a world of raw, expressionistic, terror using exaggerated perspective in sets designed by French art director Eugène Lourié (GRAND ILLUSION, THE RULES OF THE GAME) in what Bosley Crowther deemed a "movie descent into madness."

Alternating between the upmarket resort town of Punta del Este in Uruguay, and Buenos Aires, where work, school and other responsibilities begin to kick in, Solnicki's elliptical narrative sees the women's neatly packaged lives slowly begin to open up to the more complex realties of burgeoning adulthood.

As the two outsiders bond over their troubles, the strange death of a Mapuche leader unleashes a spree of violence in the area, forcing the pair to unite further and become involved in a struggle that will transform them both. Claudia Huaiquimilla's extraordinary debut is a timely reflection of the ongoing Mapuche conflict, and the violent daily lives of a community threatened by corporations and government evictions.

This portrait of youth entrenched in the punk/art/street performer scene of contemporary Medellin depicts the struggles and adventures of a group of young Colombians reaching the end of adolescence. Based on his own experiences, director Juan Sebastián Mesa's deeply personal feature debut speaks to the universal urge of those on the brink of adulthood to break free from hometown lethargy and define their place in the world. Shot in atmospheric black and white, Mesa's unconventional exploration of youth in revolt — perfectly underscored with the music of local rock band O.D.I.O. — is an affectionate ode to a generation in flux.

Filmed in stunning black and white, this immersive dive into the lives of the people of Quelepa, El Salvador, is a tour de force of experimentation along the lines of the work of Mexican surrealist director Carlos Reygadas (SILENT LIGHT, POST TENEBRAS LUX), an ethnographic slice of life as vibrant as it is enigmatic. As we spend time with our central character, we slowly peel back the layers of his daily life and experiences, catching glimpses of life in a small mountain village teeming with history. WARNING: explicit sexual scenes and graphic images. DIR/SCR/PROD Victor Ruano.

Part road movie and part historical documentary, Gabriel Muro's fascinating debut follows Guaraní language and philosophy professor José Manuel Silvero Arévalos on a lecture tour through Paraguay. His journey takes him to Nueva Germania, a rural community founded in the late nineteenth century by Friedrich Nietzsche's sister. Conceived as an Aryan colony from which to forge a claim to the entire South American continent, the project failed in less than two years, but the remote settlement survived by cultivating the yerba mate tree. Arévalos reveals the rascist utopia's history and how it has been mixed with and subsumed by the culture of Paraguay. DIR/SCR

Live musical accompaniment by Andrew Simpson Friends played by Clara Bow, Esther Ralston and Gary Cooper all grew up in well-to-do families riven by divorce, and now bear the scars in their adult lives. Cooper and Ralston plan to marry once he's established a business of his own. But after a night of drunken revelry, Cooper wakes up surprise-married to good-time-gal Bow, who, prevented from marrying her true love, a wealthy European prince, unapologetically seizes on Cooper. Several more sharp turns take place in this surprisingly un-soapy melodrama. DIR Frank

BLACKMAIL (Silent Version) (1929) Sat, Nov 10, 9:30
Live musical accompaniment by Not So Silent Cinema A woman (Anny Ondra) kills in self-defense, and is subsequently bedeviled by both her terrifying memories and a merciless blackmailer. The film was shot on location in London, lending verisimilitude to Hitchcock's first major chase sequence and bravura finale, where the police pursue the blackmailer all the way to the domed roof of the British Museum's Reading Room. Originally made and released in 1929 as a silent film, BLACKMAIL was partly reshot and released that same year as the first British talkie. The success of the sound version relegated the silent edition to undeserved obscurity, and it was only much later rediscovered and restored. DIR/SCR Alfred Hitchcock; SCR Benn W. Levy,

Live musical accompaniment by Coupler In 1925, German director Hanns Walter Kornblum set out to create a film unlike any that had come before. His aim was a film that would serve as both a summation of all the astronomical knowledge available at the time and a dreamy investigation of what wonders might await humanity at the advent of space travel. With the help of 15 special effects technicians and nine cameramen, Kornblum's film is a technical marvel, one that revels in the beauty and mystery of the universe, reminiscent of Carl Sagan's COSMOS, but 50 years earlier.

BEHIND THE DOOR
BEHIND THE DOOR (1919) Sat, Nov 18, 3:15
Live musical accompaniment by Stephen Horne Recently restored by the Library of Congress, Gosfilmofond Russian State Archive and the San Francisco Silent Film Festival, 1919's BEHIND THE DOOR surprises with its nightmarish imagery and brutal violence, while its depiction of nativist xenophobia feels relevant nearly one hundred years later. German-American ship's captain Hobart Bosworth dukes it out with an angry mob of his fellow villagers, whipped into a frenzy by anti-German propaganda during the Great War. Having proved his mettle at home, a greater challenge awaits him after his ship is captured by the sadistic U-boat captain Wallace Beery, who makes off with Bosworth's wife Jane Novak. DIR Irvin
Revolutionary Rising: Soviet Film Vanguard
Live musical accompaniment by Stephen Horne Inspired by the tales of Alexandre Dumas, young Kansan Douglas Fairbanks heads west to seek his fortune, keeping an eye out for any damsels in distress. In Arizona, he finds his calling, first helping out some New York society folk with their car trouble, including "Park Avenue flapper" Marjorie Daw, and later defending them from a gang of outlaws masquerading as Indians. Action-oriented director Allan Dwan gets the most out of Fairbanks, finding ample opportunity for the star to run, jump and climb around the picturesque locations of Grand Canyon and Canyon de Chelly national parks. DIR/SCR Allan Dwan, from the story "D'Artagnan of Kansas" by E.P. Lyle, Jr.; PROD
2017 marks 100 years since the Bolshevik Revolution. This historical event not only shook the world politically, it empowered — for a time — revolutionary art and artists. The remarkable sense of creative urgency and radical synthesis within the visual arts — and the aspirations among the Soviet avant-garde to effect unprecedented sociopolitical transformation — resulted in large-scale, state-sponsored experimental filmmaking, at a time when the commercial imperatives of the film business were already entrenched worldwide. Made explicitly for Soviet audiences, some of these films nonetheless were exhibited internationally and hailed for their artistic originality. Revolutionary Rising: Soviet Film Vanguard is a modest attempt to revisit these films and recognize their legacy, less for their stated ideology than for their innovative techniques and daring approach to film aesthetics. In the oft-quoted words of Vladimir Lenin, "Of all the arts, for us the cinema is the most important."

Live musical accompaniment by Stephen Horne Founded by émigré Russians in Paris in 1923, Film Albatross studio combined Stanislavsky-trained actors with topflight French production values, creating some of the finest French films of the silent era. Ivan Mosjoukine was the princely star for Albatross, born to play the part in the studio's super-production CASANOVA. Lively, comical and visually dazzling, the tale of Venice's greatest libertine feels utterly fresh in this 1927 silent film, with action ranging from Italy to Austria to Russia before returning for a climax in Venice during carnevale, the costumes and fireworks all the more stunning for being rendered in stenciled handcoloring, tinting and toning.

Live musical accompaniment by Stephen Horne PRIX DE BEAUTÉ was the final film Louise Brooks made in Europe before returning to Hollywood, following her two collaborations with G.W. Pabst, PANDORA'S BOX and DIARY OF A LOST GIRL. It was badly served by its sound version, released in 1930, and has been little revived since. Shown in its silent version, however, the film is revealed to be a masterpiece of modernist melodrama, and perhaps Brooks' finest work. Lucienne (Brooks) is a typist for a Parisian newspaper alongside her boyfriend and their best pal. When she wins a beauty pageant, glamorous new opportunities start to come her way, badly straining her relationship with her old friends. DIR Augusto

LUCKY follows the spiritual journey of a 90-year-old atheist and the quirky characters that inhabit his off-the-map desert town. Having outlived and out-smoked all of his contemporaries, the fiercely independent Lucky (Harry Dean Stanton) finds himself at the precipice of life, thrust into a journey of selfexploration, leading toward that which is so often unattainable: enlightenment. Acclaimed character actor John Carroll Lynch's directorial debut is both a love letter to the life and career of Harry Dean Stanton and a meditation on mortality, loneliness, spirituality and human connection. Co-starring David Lynch, Ron Livingston, Ed Begley, Jr., and Tom Skerritt. (Note courtesy of Magnolia Pictures.)

Having apprenticed with various writing and editing roles for David O. Selznick on Oscar® winners A STAR IS BORN, GONE WITH THE WIND and REBECCA, in 1942 Val Lewton (1904–1951) took a job producing THE BODY SNATCHER horror films for RKO's B unit. His first assignment: take the title "Cat People" and make something out of it, short enough to fit on double bill and on a tight budget. When the resulting film CAT PEOPLE became a surprise hit, Lewton was on his way to a singular, strange career, producing nine seminal horror films in four years. Lewton died at the age of 46 following a heart attack, but his legacy of innovative and inventive film artistry lives on.

Intro by actor Omi Vaidya Director Rajkumar Hirani (PK) adds a dose of madcap comedy to a touching coming-of-age drama about success and selfrealization in this film that broke every box-office record in India. Ten years after college, two former engineering students (R. Madhavan and Sharman Joshi) reunite to search for a friend who went missing shortly after graduation, when they receive news of his whereabouts from another classmate (Omi Vaidya). On their way from New Delhi to a remote town up north, the friends reminisce about their past mischief and find new ways to get into trouble. Bollywood actor Aamir Khan stars as the missing "Rancho," with Kareena Kapoor as his long-lost love.
Intro and Q&A with actor Omi Vaidya California-born, NYU-educated Omi Vaidya had been struggling to make it in Hollywood as an Indian-American actor when he was suddenly offered a role in Mumbai. The film was 3 IDIOTS, and when it turned out to be an overwhelming critical and box office success, Omi — who hardly spoke any Hindi — woke up to overnight stardom in India. His unlikely story is told in this creative documentary, made by Vaidya's college friends: just like 3 IDIOTS, this is a film about camaraderie and success, but told from behind the scenes.

Currently featured on TWIN PEAKS as Bushnell Mullins, actor Don Murray has a career spanning back to the early 1950s which includes an Oscar®-nominated role opposite Marilyn Monroe (BUS STOP). Throughout his career, Murray has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to social service on and off screen, and played roles that other actors weren't willing to risk — a drug addict in Fred Zinnemann's HATFUL OF RAIN, a closeted gay senator in Otto Preminger's ADVISE AND CONSENT. He broke out as an independent actor-producer with THE HOODLUM PRIEST in 1961, but found his vision for similar projects thwarted by the changes that swept over Hollywood and America in the 1960s. The new documentary DON MURRAY: UNSUNG HERO shines a light on Murray's magnificent, mysterious career.

IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT (1967)
Sidney Poitier stars as a Philadelphia homicide detective passing through rural Mississippi, wrongly detained by bigoted sheriff Rod Steiger on a murder charge. Once cleared, he helps the sheriff solve the case. Poitier and Steiger's mutual antipathy and begrudging respect electrify the screen, with outstanding supporting work by Lee Grant as the victim's angry widow, and Warren Oates as a creepy deputy. Winner of five Oscars®, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Actor for Steiger. DIR Norman Jewison; SCR Stirling Silliphant, from the novel by John Ball; PROD Walter Mirisch. U.S., 1967, color, 109 min. NOT RATED
Intro and Q&A with writer and producer Michael Fitzgerald Deranged war vet Hazel Moates might be the only member of the Church Without Christ—which he founded—but he will go to great lengths to preach his teaching to the public. Brad Dourif's superbly oddball performance is the heart of the film, but the grotesque world of his dusty Georgian town is populated by a gallery of equally eccentric characters, played by a supporting cast that includes Harry Dean Stanton and Ned Beatty. John Huston, a master of literary adaptation, emphasized the darkly comic aspect of the Southern Gothic classic by Flannery O'Connor in this poignant exploration of American spirituality.

You’ll get lost in this ‘Cabaret’ TBD Immersive’s first production wants you to get in on the action

STAGE When you go to Blind Whino SW Arts Club this month to see “In Cabaret We Trust,” you’ll have to show your ticket to get into the theater. That’s about the only thing this “immersive theatrical experience” has in common with any other play you might see in D.C. The 15,000-square-foot space will be transformed into a cabaret theater set in the not-toodistant future, complete with burlesque artists, fire breathers, drag acts, hula-hoopers and aerialists. But there’s another story going on behind the scenes: A populist regime has taken hold of the nation, and a conservative senator is coming to shut down the cabaret, which has become a hideout for D.C.’s remaining liberals. Audiences are welcome to wander around any spaces in the theater to listen in on side characters’ conversations, watch artists create chalkboard murals or become participants in an act of political resistance. “In Cabaret We Trust” is the first production from a new D.C. theater company, TBD Immersive (it stands for “tradition be damned”), which specializes in theater that’s more “choose-yourown-adventure” than “beginning, middle and end.” Artistic director Strother Gaines, who created the show with a team of three playwright-producers, likes to compare their work to the fantasy theme park in HBO’s “Westworld.” “At the end of the day, the audience has full control over their experience,” he says. Gaines and his team assembled as TBD after staging successful immersive theater experiences at last year’s TEDxMidAtlantic conference and D.C.’s Mulebone. “In Cabaret We Trust” was created as a response to — what else?
How to make the most of it You can explore the world of “In Cabaret We Trust” any way you want, but here are some suggestions. L.M. 1. Play with the actors. “Anybody who’s costumed up, you can interact with,” show creator Strother Gaines says. That might mean having a drink or a chat with a character, or accepting a challenge from what Gaines calls the more “puzzle-based” actors. If someone runs up to you and asks you to complete a task, like bringing an item to a certain character, “you can play the game or not,” Gaines says. 2. Don’t overlook smaller rooms. The audience is allowed anywhere in the building — with the exception of some of Blind Whino’s storage areas — and there’s action everywhere. For example, “All the secrets go down in the catering kitchen,” Gaines says. “If you’re like, ‘I need the juicy stuff,’ the catering kitchen is the place to be.” 3. Keep an eye on every character. Though you certainly could follow around one character for the whole show, Gaines recommends interacting with as many as possible. “Every character has a unique storyline,” he says. Gaines is fond of the “young, perky, bitchy” reporter who’s sympathetic to the populist side. “Her hashtag is #thepopularpopulist,” Gaines says. 4. Divide and conquer. Since there’s no way to see everything, Gaines recommends attending with friends, wandering off in separate directions during the performance, then comparing notes. “The exciting part is going out to drinks with your friends afterward and being like, ‘Did you see this thing happen?’ ‘Did you see the potential orgy?’ ‘Did you see this character down here?’ ‘No, I saw her upstairs. She was pregnant!’” Gaines says.

— the 2016 election, and it gets a lot of its inspiration and imagery from Germany’s interwar period, when the country was under the rule of the Weimar Republic. “What we’re exploring here is that populist, nationalist perspective. We intentionally don’t mention political parties of today; we don’t mention his name in the show,” Gaines says, alluding to President Trump. “We don’t want people to stick on that. We want people to be invested in the concept of this nationalism piece.” Up next, TBD will rework “In Cabaret We Trust” for a remount in February at the Dupont
Underground. After that, Gaines and his team have plans for immersive theater experiences both big (a scavenger hunt around the monuments?) and small (private in-house dinner theater). “D.C. hasn’t had a producing company that does immersive work exclusively,” Gaines says. “Is that because D.C. doesn’t support immersive work or just because no one’s done it yet? Hopefully it’s the latter.” LORI MCCUE (EXPRESS)

He also released a comedy special, “Brooklyn,” that he pressed to vinyl, and showed off the observational humor he’s focused on since leaving fake news behind.

VIP tickets add extra wine and food tastings and “special animal encounters.” National Zoo, 3001

Losing a job is bad. Losing a job when there simply are no other jobs is even worse. In Dominique Morisseau’s play “Skeleton Crew,” the workers at one of the last auto-stamping plants in Detroit face rumors of a plant shutdown that would effectively end the industry in the city. The tight-knit workers of the plant have to face the fact that they’re some of the last lives left in a dying line of work — and what might happen if their machines grind to a halt forever.

The Rumpus Room On weekends, DJs Stereo Faith and Marc Meistro keep crowds dancing until the wee hours. But when they get home, they’re just dads. Looking for a way to get their kids grooving to good music, the two have launched The Rumpus Room, a daytime party with cool tunes at a family-friendly volume and kidfriendly distractions. Children can enjoy water and juice, and there will be brunch drink specials for parents. (The event is designed for children 8 and younger, and each adult can chaperone up to three kids.)

Big Boi Big Boi’s latest post-OutKast solo album, “Boomiverse,” is packed with producers and cameos, from kindred spirits Snoop Dogg and Killer Mike to less expected guests such as Adam Levine and virtual (that is, fictitious) J-pop idol Hatsune Miku. The collaborator many fans still crave is OutKast partner Andre 3000, of course. He’s not on board, but the jumping track “All Night” has a barrelhouse piano that makes it sound like something from “Idlewild,” OutKast’s tribute to the music and culture of 1930s juke joints. Fillmore, 8656 Colesville Road, Silver Spring; Mon., 8 p.m., $29.50.

More than 60 of Stephen King’s stories have been adapted for film and TV over the past 40 years, with a recent crop of releases hitting screens. Ahead of the latest, a big-screen version of his clown horror, “It,” bowing Friday, the author discusses his scariest writing experiences and how Hollywood handles his work.

Do the stories still feel like yours when adapted for the screen? Yeah, they still feel like mine. “It” feels very much like mine because it sticks close to the book. … And the nice thing about “It” as a movie is that as a horror movie, it works. One of the reasons it works — the only reason that this kind of story ever works — is that you care for the people that are involved. You go to a movie like “Friday the 13th” and, let’s face it, you’re sort of rooting to see 12 good-looking young people killed

Is it important that adaptations are faithful to your work? It’s not that important to me, really. … I always think that some of the adaptations that don’t work that well are ones where they buy the concept, the basic concept, but then say, Well, yes, but we’ll do this, that and the other thing to it. … The ones that I like the best are the ones where they stick close to the story and where I see changes and I say to myself, “I wish I’d thought of that.”
in 12 interesting ways. This movie isn’t like that. You don’t want to see any of them die! Can you ever scare yourself while you’re writing? From time to time. … There’s a scene in [the book “It”] where they find this dumping ground where there are all these discarded appliances, and there’s a refrigerator. And one of the things I remember is we were all told: If you’re playing and you see a discarded refrigerator, don’t go in that, because kids can get locked in there and die. So I put a discarded refrigerator in the book and when one of the kids opens the door, it’s full of leeches that come out. And that scared me. Do you like when that happens? In a way, I do like it. … There’s an exhilaration in it, because on one level, you know you’re safe, but on another level, the stronger the imagining is, the more it’s really scary. SANDY COHEN (AP)

@JASONTRAUTWEIN, comparing
Bryce Harper’s new ‘do to the character Ron Swanson’s regrettable cornrows in “Parks and Rec.” Harper has been known to try some wild looks with his famous locks, but fans were really not sure about this one. @WRBolen compared him to “your high school weed dealer who let his girl braid his hair in pre-cal because she was bored.”
“The Twitter user ... definitely didn’t expect to receive this response, which reveals the rage of a thousand suns.” KAITLIN REILLY, writing for refinery29.com about Cher’s response to a Twitter user named Brenda Webb, who didn’t believe that the singer would shelter a DACA recipient in her own home. After Trump announced Tuesday that his administration is phasing out the program that shields young undocumented immigrants from deportation, Cher tweeted: “Those Who Can Must Take a DREAMER In2 Their Home & Protect Them I’m Ready 2 Do This.” When @bwebb56 tweeted her skepticism, Cher did not hold back with her comeback. Afterward, @bwebb56 set her account to private. “Cher didn’t come to play,” @DeMarko_Gage tweeted.

MICHAEL BENNETT, Seattle Seahawks defensive end, describing his encounter with police last month in a Twitter post. Bennett wrote that when gunshots went off in a crowd as he left the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor fight in Las Vegas, police singled him out and held him down, pointing a gun at his head. TMZ released video of the incident Wednesday.
about Charlotte, N.C., Republican mayoral candidate Kimberley Paige Barnette’s Facebook profile, in which she described herself as “REPUBLICAN & SMART, WHITE, TRADITIONAL.” Barnette, a little-known candidate, deleted the post after it drew national backlash. It even prompted criticism from the North Carolina GOP chairman.

DIFFICULT
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You may discover that you are not, after all, afraid of something that you’ve been trying to avoid for quite some time. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) A conflict will arise between you and someone who has shared much with you in the past but who is breaking with tradition. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Don’t let anyone speak for you. You’ll want to express yourself fully, but you want to wait until the right time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) In all things, you will be very near the center — but not exactly so. This will allow you to see matters from various perspectives. WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Background activities can prove much more substantial than anything that takes you to the fore. You know what’s really going on.
WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION
FOUR RACK TOTAL Make a 2-7-letter word from the letters in each row. Add points of each word using scoring directions at right. Seven-letter words get a 50-point bonus. Blank tiles used as any letter have no point value. Scrabble is a trademark of Hasbro in the U.S. and Canada.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You may not have all the answers, but you certainly know which questions to ask in order to get people moving. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) There are some who are eager to see you at your wits’ end, but that’s not likely to happen if you follow your instincts. ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may receive an offer that will make you wonder whether things have really been going as planned.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) A surprise will hit you hard and have you bottling things up inside for too long. By day’s end, you must be ready to express yourself again.
TODAY: Beautiful weather returns as higher pressure builds in behind the front. Skies should be partly to mostly sunny, and highs head for the mid-70s with low humidity (dew points in the 50s, perhaps even down into the 40s). Winds come from the west. Mostly clear tonight and on the cool side. Lows should get into the 50s.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You can win the praise you seek by doing what comes most naturally to you — but one item left undone can ruin everything. CANCER (June 21-July 22) What goes up must come down — including your own estimation of yourself. You may find your self-esteem at an uncommonly low ebb for a time.

George Clooney said in a Hollywood Reporter feature that he swaps texts with Barack Obama. THR described their friendship as “a jocular relationship that at times teeters into the risque.” When asked if their texts ever get “racy,” Clooney responded: “Sometimes, sure. A little bit. Not Scaramucci-racy, but … you know, I have over the years with my friends said a lot of really [outrageous things].” (EXPRESS)
Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes were photographed Monday holding hands in public for the first time, seemingly confirming a four-year-long rumor about their secret romance. TMZ published photos Wednesday of the two strolling hand-in-hand on a beach in Malibu, Calif. E! News reported the two spent Labor Day together at a friend’s house. “They went in the water and were splashing around, flirting and getting close,” a source said. Holmes and Foxx were first romantically linked in 2013. In April, Us Weekly reported they were ready to go public with their relationship. (EXPRESS)
