COUNTRY WAYLON ART IN SPACE

Country music legend Wayion Jen nings will perform here April 25 as head liner for the annual Country Music Festival at Metropolitan Park. The free, day-long event also features Jessie Colter, the Marshall Tucker Band, Sweethearts of the Rodeo, Ricky Van Shelton and the Dylan Brown Band. It is sponsored by the city and WCRJ.

OPERA COMING Formation of an opera company and plans for a schedule starting this fall will be announced soon. The J acksonvillc Lyric Theatre is organiz ing under the charter of the Jacksonville Starlight Symphonctte and plans to hold performances in the Civic Auditorium beginning with “The Merry Widow,” Nov. 3. Also tentatively scheduled are "Madam Butterfly,” for next Feb. 2 and the “Barber of Seville,” April 12. C. Carter Nice Jr., who will be executive director, said Lyric Theatre will make an unequivocal commitment to quality. “If we can’t do something first class, we won’t do it,” he promised. Details forthcoming in Folio Weekly.

WRITER MAY HIT With his forthcoming book already getting much interest from book clubs and for paperback rights and magazine seria lization, it looks as if local writer Lee Butcher may be about to get back on the fast track.

He will be leaving town for the book tour circuit in a couple months, touting the September release of Accidental Million aire, subtitled “The Rise and Fall of Steve Jobs at Apple Computer.” It is being published by Paragon House of New York City and chronicles the early career of the Apple founder, who at age 30 had a reputed $450 million in company stock. Look for Butcher on some of the more popular talk shows with this, his seventh book and possibly to become his fifth on the “Best Seller” list. Look for Butcher, also, in the pages of Folio Weekly. He is writing an article for a future issue.

OVER THE TOP Not this weekend but next, April 19, arm wrestlers will convene here from around the country for the 1986 National Stand-Up Championship of the American Arm Wrestling Association. Promoter Ray Taglione said about 175 contestants arc expected but, no, they aren’t particularly looking for local entries. The national competition is too stiff. Taglione, a former world title holder himself and owner of Nelson’s Gym on Beach Boulevard, said over 1,000 spec tators are expected for the all-day event. Il will be at Metropolitan Park and it’s free.

DANCE UNITED The brand new Jacksonville Dance Coalition, a union of various dance groups to sponsor projects and provide dance event

information, is sponsoring a master class in European technique of movement. It is being taught by Rudolph Smidt. The ambitious young group also has introduced discount dance performance tickets for participating students and is already talking about an “Arts in the Park” event that would involve all visual and performing artists. Membership is open to all dance studios, companies and similar organization, and Sarah Dashiell is president. For informa tion, call 733-4614 or 268-8262.

Perhaps more appropriately listed under the heading of visual pollution of the heavens, the French are mulling a plan to launch a monument to the 100th anniver sary of the Eiffel Tower in 1989. The proposal is that a ring of metallic balloons be blasted forth and fill themselves once in orbit. They then would glare back at us as something of a man-made moon for about three years until they disintegrate. It would be the first art object that could been seen from anywhere on earth, say the French. Whether we want to or not.

Meet a Few of Our Artists . . One area artist has a thriving gallery in New York City but seldom displays here. And a number of others won major national awards or have been featured in important exhibits. Yet they remain "rela tively overlooked, undernourished and under ground in their own hometown”in the words of one critic. A planned downtown gallery, announced in the accompanying article, may change all this. But in the meantime, Folio Weekly js proud to present to you a few of your native artists.

dreds of people—with a turn ol the head—to be able to see works of contem porary artists.” Benish agreed, saying, “There are people who work downtown who don t come any other time; people who wouldn’t normally choose to go to a gallery can now go at lunchtime.” Benish noted that The Florida Ballet’s Thursday noon performances have been successful and said even for those people who can’t tell a poster store from a gallery, there’s hope. “People deal with visual arts most every moment of their day on bill boards and television,” she said. Fine arts shouldn’t be any different, and it won’t be once people are regularly exposed in a relaxed atmosphere.” The gallery, which has not yet been named, will have monthly exhibits, with special entertainment at each show's open ing and many featuring guest curators. It also will have a full-time director and serve companies, corporations and individuals from all over the region by providing a slide registry. Member artists of JCVA will be indexed by name, type of work and medium, along with slide samples of their work. For instance, if a corporate executive wants to use marine art, he would be able to locate, screen and hire a marine artists by using the coalition’s slide registry ser vice. This, in turn, will provide valuable exposure and business for the artists who pay an annual membership fee of $20. Because membership fees are so moderate, the coalition is actively seeking funds from companies, foundations and individuals to pay for renovations and rent. The major portion of the JCVA’s mem bers are painters, sculptors, printmakers and craftspeople, but the coalition also welcomes memberships for architects, in terior designers, photographers, filmma kers and commercial and graphic artists. Taylor said that even engineers who design machines arc considered artists. A key

purpose of the gallery is to provide free or easily affordable space to local and regional visual artists. Similar artists enclaves in urban areas have evolved and flourished when the timing was right. More than a decade ago in Alexandria, Virginia, a group of artists took over an old torpedo factory near the river in an ungentrilied part of town. The land is now built up with many restaurants around it and has generated more value than anyone predicted. In Atlanta, visual artists took over a school and called it the Nexus; they now have a year’s waiting list for artists who want to show there. While the JCVA doesn’t pretend to be conceiving the next Soho or Left Bank, they may have identified a crucial missing piece in the expansive puzzle of downtown Jacksonville. With the opening of the Omni Hotel, Jacksonville Landing and the growing impact of the new Prime Osborn Con vention Center, many more people are expected downtown and a number of plans are underway among Jacksonville’s archi tects, designers and businessmen to achieve a most cohesive, appealing urban setting. Most noticeably, the Ritz Theatre Restora tion Project, scheduled to open in Septem ber 19S9, will be a one-and-a-half block entertainment complex of jazz clubs, res taurants, cafes and the theatre centered around the former black movie house at Davis and State streets. Anthony Patter- • son, the project director, said, “The bursting at the seams of all this arts and entertainment is fabulous because it makes Jacksonville more attractive to tourists, conventioneers and to the citizens of Jack sonville.”

Like the visual artists’ gallery, it is being forwarded with the belief, as stated in their proposal that artists bring to an area two things that nobody else can—a sense of vibrancy and color and people on the streets at night.”

Countless exhibits from New York City to Van Nuys, Calif, have included oneperson shows at Everson Museum in Sy racuse, New York; Arts Limited, Tampa; the Jacksonville Art Museum; and the University of North Florida Gallery. She also holds the unprecedented honor of being awarded a four-year artist-inresidence, Jacksonville, grant by the Na tional Endowment of the Arts. Her works are represented in more than 25 corporate collections.

Currently, Ms. Brown is teaching paint ing and drawing at the University of North Florida, and she plans to motivate herself into in a new direction away from birds, having “just commissioned myself to do a series of 10 landscapes with more lavenders and purples,” she said.

Sculptor of female form Now internationally exhibited, Enzo Torcoletti’s sculptures of the female form still reflect his childhood in Italy in the environs of the weathered, lorn and timehonored master works of art. His technique developed, he explained “through borrowing freely from all past and present sculptural image to create works which reflect his movement to a 20th century female form, featuringsleek elonga tion and new technical fabrication.

“For 20 years I have been primarily involved, both sculpturally and graphically, with the historical, mythological and sym bolic implications of the female form, Torcolelti said. “Now I like to think of my work as a mixture of magica rein carnations of images from the past, dressed in contemporary materials.

Folio Weekly/April 7, 1987

international basket weaving White porcelain Georgina Holt is best known in art circles for her hand-built white porcelain dinnerware, which she has perfected over the past eight years of experimenting and testing and just plain perseverance.

Though rarely seen in Jacksonville basket weaving by Michael Davis is exhi bited from New York to California, including a special showing at the Elaine Potter Gallery in San Franciso at the end of this month.

He was named a finalist by three muse ums in the international Artists Liaison Competition in California last year, and his work was the subject of the cover photograph and a chapter in the new book, Basketmakers’ Arts. Davis creates fiber forms in classic shapes and enhances them by painting or by overlaying with reed designs to create multi-layered patterns. Not to be confused with utilitarian basket weaving, an individ ual piece of his work can require as much as 40 hours of actual weaving time and 20-40 more hours to complete. Davis was graduated from the University of North Florida with a joint major in painting and ceramics and has devoted all his creative talents and energy to fiber as a medium for several years.

d~__

“Typically, the best Chinese pieces were restrained in use of color. I like that”, says Holt. “A very traditional approach to refinement, simplicity and elegance. That’s what I’m after.” A self-schooled artist in porcelain, Holt has exhibited at two Soho, New York galleries, as well as internationally at the Jacksonville Sister City’s Invitational Ex hibit at Nantes, France. Area exhibits have included the Jacksonville Art Museum, Gallery Contemporanea, LeMoyne Art Foundation, University of North Florida Gallery and the Cummer Gallery. Her works also are part of the permanent collection of the Jacksonville Art Museum, the Jacksonville Museum of Arts and Sciences, the Orlando International Airport and numerous corporate collections. “Woven Colored Tiles,” her first major work in color, is a 3 x 27 foot piece of 81 unglazed tiles, each individually mounted on the wall. It is displayed at the Regency branch of the First Union Bank in Jack sonville.

Illustrations that distort for movement

Oil pastels in New York balleries Those who have been fortunate enough to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York since 1984 have viewed one of Mary Ann Currier’s impressive largescale oil pastel, still-life paintings, “Onions and Tomato.” This painting is typical of the artist’s acute observance of detail and her ability to bring to life the subtleties of line and color which only a skilled artist recognizes. Ms. Currier’s art is represented by the prestigious Alexander F. Milliken Gallery in New York City, and currently she is producing work almost exclusively for this gallery. Most of her earlier paintings have been purchased by large corporations such as American Express, Golman Sax broker age firm, Cargill Corporation of Minnea polis, Minn., and two Louisville, Kentucky banks. She also has been featured in the ’ Basari Diary of “Art News.” She taught at the Louisville School of Art (now the University of Kentucky) from 1962 to 1982, and during that penod progressed through a several “period of art, from detailed black and white drawings to three dimensional collages, to str pes and to then sculptures depictin °t depicting.® thering years, before L------- arriving at her current

specialty.

Robin Shepherd’s series of oil paintings, entitled “Jazz Great,” won high acclaim when exhibited in Los Angeles and New York, and he also has exhibited in London and other major cities, in addition to producing many works that are seen locally. In late 1984, he opened Robin Shepherd Studios here and has since won national and local awards for his graphic and illustration work such as the montage cover of the 1985-1986 Jacksonville telephone directory and the 35-by-4'foot mural of the River Run in the Southern Bell building. “1 prefer to work with the human figure,” Shepherd said. “1 like distorting and extending people in my paintings, to try to capture some of the energy and move ment. With the development of the camera in the last 100 years, I don’t feel it’s much of a challenge to paint something you can just take a picture of.”

Shepherd paints from memory, and he prefers to try something new with each work rather than refer back to a previous style. “I like the aspect of tackling some thing I haven’t done before,” he explained. I

Renown in water colors, oils 1

Around the beaches and Jacksonville, John Mclvor is pretty much a secret, but nationally it’s quite a different story.

His paintings are found in prestigious permanent collections of the Library of Congress and the American Federation of Arts Gallery, New York City, and he has specially commissioned pieces in such welltraveled centers as the Hyatt Regency in New York City. Mclvor also has had at least 20 one-man shows as a painter, nationally, (in both watercolors and oils), has work in more than 50 major corporate collections and estimates that he has shown in 150 exhibits as a printmaker.

Examples of his work are featured in the art books, Prize Winning Watercolors and Context of Watercolor, and he is also listed in Who’s Who in American Art.

His paintings also have been exhibited at the Albright Gallery in Buffalo, one of the country’s largest, the Montgomery Museum of Art, the Columbus Museum of Art, the University of Illinois and Louisiana State University. Locally, he has been exhibited in the university galleries and the Jacksonville Art Museum, and in Tallahassee, he has work commissioned by the State of Florida.

For the past 20 years now, Mclvor has been a professor of art at the University of New York graduate center in Buffalo, and since 1969 has been commuting home to Atlantic Beach twice weekly. He recently retired to devote full time to painting at the beach, where he enjoys his life and shows some surprise as he asks a reporter- “How did you find me?”

She has been exhibited in shows in New York, North Carolina and Washington, and has work in numerous corporate collections. She also has been featured in this area with exhibits at the LeMoyne Foundation in Tallahassee, the Jacksonville Art Museum, the University of North Florida Gallery, and the Jacksonville Museum of Arts and Sciences.

Ms. Gefter’s success seems to involve a creative eye more than technical manipula tions and, as a result, many of her works amuse and surprise.

Internationally, she traveled through Australia, Europe, Japan, Asia and the U.S. as part of a World Press color exhibition photo was included in the impor tant world tour, “There is no female camera.” She also has exhibited in many oneperson shows, including one of the galleries at Soho in New York City, Gallery East in Chatanooga, and locally she has exhibited at the Slade Gallery, the Jacksonville Art Museum, Jacksonville University and the University of North Florida.

Ms. Taylor said her break came with a one-person show locally in 1974, and now with numerous other such shows behind her, she is trying to help other artists through her role as president of the Jacksonville Coalition for the Visual Arts.

An audio-visual program on Ms. Gefter’s career has been produced by Media Loft, Minneapolis, Minn, and is in use at public universities, museums and photography schools around the country. Examples of her work are used in instructional publica tions of the Eastman Kodak company.

Although Kathran Siegel is a woodcar ver, she incorporates her training as a painter into her work. “It’s really all the same,’’the says of painting and woodcarving. “It’s just that woodcarving involves much more labor. Much more.” Before she starts a large sculpture, Siegel builds a “maquette” or miniature of the piece she plans to sculpt. Many of her current sculptures are being designed for use as furniture, and the maquette helps to determine factors such as balance and stability. "The first few art-furniture pieces 1 did were better at looking like furniture than they were at functioning as furniture,” she said. “But I’ve gotten better.”

But Ms. Gefter’s artistic stirring evi dently have not been satisfied by pho tography alone. In the past 10 years, she has now taken up wood sculpting and is winning awards with this work.

Her works have been exhibited in Wa shington D.C., Los Angeles, and New York, and she has recieved major awards from the American Crafts Council South east Regional, the Mint Museum Biennial Crafts Exhibition in Charlotte, NC, the Jacksonville Art Museum and Channel 7.

By Emma Bovary Paisley, plaid, scenic or regimental, neckwear may very well be the quintessential vanity. I speak not of the cowboy’s kerchief with its many uses— from masking the face for a robbery to masking the face from billowing trail dust—nor of mufflers that block the cold and headscarves that anchor coiffures. They are practical, useful items of apparel whose origins date back to the focalium, a chin cloth worn by the Romans to protect necks and throats. Rather, it is the tie, bowed or knotted; the cravat of casual, Fred Astaire-ish elegance; the neckscarf of eye-catching silk, that leads off our parade of vanities. it serves no useful purpose whatsoever and, with the exception of the fox hunter’s stock, which can be used to sling a broken arm or wrap an injured leg, never has. Yet, for the 327 years of its existence, it has mirrored our tastes, appealed to our pride in appearance and advertised our affiliations, achievements, prejudices, politics, passions, professions, pastimes and pets. Whether you wear a bright paisley to break up the banker’s grey of a Birk’s suit, reach for a colorful Alexander Julian number to jazz up a jacket from Jarrod"> ’s or soften the Ginnie Jch222?2 Johansen “rosette, ties are masculinity of Seriously Suited feminine attire with a C:r.:::2 C here to stay. Traditionally, navy, burgundy and brown are the top three colors, in that order, but bright yellow and red slipped in ahead of brown last year. Locally, stripes sell best at Birk’s and the Rosenblum brothers can’t keep the Italian silks in stock, especially the scenics by Daniel Craig. Western wear may be spring’s big fashion hit, but string ties are dead everywhere except the rodeo circuit. Newest for spring are bold color combinations, especially teal, pink and aqua, which arc big sellers here. Also in are scenics and bold geometries. Not so new is the width, which seems to have settled at three inches despite predictions for wider widths that pop out like pollen before each new season. Men may claim to hate the accursed things, but they are buying tics at the rate of 100 million a year now in the U.S. alone, according to Jerry Andersen, executive director of the Neckwear Association of America. In fact, more men than ever are buying ties. Ten years ago 80 percent of the ties sold were purchased by women. Now only 60 percent are. Perhaps because women are now buying tics for themselves. Once an ‘in now, out tomorrow’ fad a la Annie Hall, ties have become a staple for women’s business attire Initially stiff and masculine, women’s neckwear is softening.

Rachel Violet strides for a shot at a WITA pre-qualifymg event

WITA Qualifying Parties & Local Tennis By Deborah Shatney In a pre-qualifying match for next week’s WITA (Women’s International Tennis Asso ciation) championships at Amelia Island, 15-year-old Bolles student Rachel Violett came away the winner. The event was the first building toward a big week full of local tennis, world class tennis, parties and the grand champion ships, all open to the public at Amelia Island Plantation, April 13- 19. In the final round of the pre-qualifying matches held at Jacksonville University, Violett defeated Sandra Phillips, 6-4, 6- 3. She proceeds to the playoffs this Thursday and Friday, joining 31 others competing for eight spots in the qualifying rounds. The pre-qualifying at Amelia, a great chance to see local talent at its best, are free. Final qualifying is April 11-12 from which eight qualifiers advance and become part of the tournament’s 56-player main draw. They then compete on the court with such likely top names as Steffi Garf, Hana Mandlikova, Zina Garrison, and Kathy Rinaldi. And while qualifiers and eliminations move inexorably toward the main event, the championship match Easter Sunday, the WITA folks have put together several other activities for us. First is the men’s local pro invitational. Tennis pros from 12 area clubs play Monday, 9 a.m.-6 p.m., with finals on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. Then local men will

Folio Wcckly/April 7, 1987

Delights, Insights From UNF Students By Anne Leighton While not exactly full of innovative surprises, the Juried Student Art Show at UNI- compensated by showing us works of strong and oiten striking artistic merit. Showing through April 30 at the University of North Florida art gallery, this annual includes works from a media cross section of photography, painting, drawing ceramics-sculpture, illustration-graphic’ design and mixed media. Of the 154 works originally submitted, 67 are shown and from these were chosen the 18 prize winners and the seven honorable mentions.

On the whole, the show is stronger on ligure studies than experimental works. Even so, it seemed to offer something for everyone, including political commentary in the form of Rhonda Christensen’s “Reagan Devouring His Children.” This is an illustration-graphics entry inspired by Goya’s famous “Saturn Devouring His Children.” From the point of satirical skill, the work certainly merits its honorable mention award.

First prize in drawing was garnered by Nancy B. White’s pair of graphite and charcoal “Self Portraits 12 and 14,” which was no surprise since they are technically masterful and psychologically challenging. They possess an unforgiving quality which forces the viewer into an empathy with the careworn sitter—so strong an empathy that our response would be to forgive her anything. Two very fine and decisively drawn figure studies by Andrea Jakes were in cluded in the category, and Suzi Berg’s "Young Jill,” a portrait of a girl with a haunting Kalhe Kollwitz quality, was strong award potential but unfortunately look home no laurels.

A further highlight of the exhibition is three works by Laurie Hitzig, “Trans

‘Nocturnal Garden” and ignt Landscape.” Noteworthy for their roodtng quality, they seemed to be artisti cally descended from some of the early works of Albert Pinkham Ryder, projecting an image where the reality of the dream, even u disturbing dream, is dominant.

JACKSONVILLE EXPOS BASEBALL

The show has its share of artistically amusing pieces, too, such as Trevor Green’s Charlie and Friends” an acrylic depiction of sunning alligators, an honorable men tion in the painting category. Also in this category is “Mac’s Waffle Shop” by Kim Margol-Lipsky, a talented former art in structor also represented in the show by a gem-like little collage reflecting the influ ence of Matisse’s cut-outs and called simply, “Untitled.”

SEASON OPENER WED. APRIL 8 7:35 PM

Sarah Crook’s “Elliot,” the first prize winner for painting is a marvelous de piction of a large Churchillian rabbit capable of commanding an audience by virtue of skillful composition and person ality transferred to canvas.

JACKSONVILLE EXPOS VS. KNOXVILLE BLUEJAYS

For sheer weightlessness, ceramic sculp ture section is beautiful. That work is “Untitled Bow.,” The section also in cluded a good Raku (similar to sandstone) with an everted lip done by Carl Steinsicck, which certainly stood out in the category but unfortunately took no award.

This year’s show offers a varied bag of treats to the arts aficionado—everything from sober and thought-provoking to downright delightful. It is well worth the afternoon’s visit. First Prize Winners: Drawing, Nancy B. White “Self Portrait 12 and 14;” Illustration and Graphics, Dana Garfinkcl “Pensive;” Painting, Sarah Crooks, “Elliot;” CeramicsSculpture, Ruble Porter “She’s So Fine;" Photography, Georganna Wilson “Cibaehroine Nude;" and Mixed Media, Sieve C.

JU Concert to Combine Talents By Judy Erwin The best of JU dance and the talents of the esteemed Ernestine Stodelle will com bine for a performance this week. This special treat comes to us via the Jacksonville University Dance Theatre Spring Concert this Friday and Saturday, 8 p.m., in the Swisher Auditorium. It features a Doris Humphrey work reconstructed by Ms. Stodelle, author of several dance books and currently artist-in-residence al the university. Also featured are 1980s modern, classical and jazz dance. The highlighted work. Air for the G Siring, was reconstructed by agreement with The Dance Notation Bureau, and costumes were made for the perlormance in New York, especially to conform to the original, colorful designs. Ms. Stodell, who was a member of the Doris Humphrey Concert Group, said the music of Johann Sebastian Bach that Air for the G Siring is sei io was heard by Miss Humphrey as a child and was the inspiralion lor the lyrical work. reconstruction of this authentic The piece of American modern dance was sponsored in part by the Florida Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Arts

Council. ... Other modern dances that evening will include a work “in progress, c^°'eo' uraphed by Donlin Forman, principal dance with the Martha Graham Dance Company, Xring a December, 1986, residency at the university; Spectrum, ubo/eographud by

faculty member Rhythm New Beginnings, w"'n(-r... ior Chrichoreography baltot, by’ U • stina McCloud. Ms. MuCanny

combines various modern techniques into an abstract dance that suggests a vision, while Ms. McCloud’s work is an abstract rendering of the cycle of life. Two works on the program, choreo graphed by Betty Swenson, A.R.A.D., director of the Dance Department, employ the use of classical ballet technique. Legend of the Blue Willow was first performed in the 1986 Spring Concert and tells the tragic story of forbidden love between the daugh ter of a Chinese Mandarin and his male secretary. Attractive costumes and a wellexecuted set design served to enrich last year’s debut of this familiar story, and several members of the original cast will be repeating their roles. London Pride, a new work by Mrs. Swenson, is an abstract tribute to the heroic women in London during World War II. The ballet lias personal significance for Mrs. Swenson, who danced with British ballet companies during the war years. "It’s very special to me because it brought back memories while I was choreographing," she said. Rounding out the evening’s varied program will be Dancing on the What?!, a fun jazz piece set to contemporary music and choreographed by faculty member Lisa Marks. Admission at the door is $5; scnioi citizens and students, $3. Those interested in meeting Ms. Stodell are invited to attend an autograph party and reception immedi ately preceding the Friday evening per

formance.

Judy Erwin studied dunce under L>oru,hy Alexander of Atlanta and has served as president o r the Ballet Guild of Jacksonville and as president of the Ballet Repertory oj Jacksonville.

‘New Music* arrives At Einstein A-Go-Go By Arvid Smith Think for moment: totally original music played to a regular, paying and non boozing audience. Could it survive here? Yes, and it’s doing great as Einstein A-Go-Go at Jacksonville Beach, the local venue for “New Music” and our example in the avantc garde of today that will probably be tomorrow’s mainstream. Opening its doors in July 1985, Einstein A-Go-Go, named after a song by the defunct RCA techno-pop band, Japan, has been welcomed here with such success that it has become a new kind of cultural institution, albeit one that the Arts Assem bly of Jacksonville would never recognize. The no alcohol, thus all ages allowed format has been the rule since owner operator Tammy Faircloth spawned Ein stein from her job at the Music Shop. Headliners are regionally and nationally known acts such as Atlanta’s popish Great Invisibles and upstate New York’s 10,000 Mainiacs. Even international and MTV types such as Modern English, The Smithe reens, Bodeans and Alex Chilton have shared the stage with our own New Music

Due to its location here 'ini north Florida, Florida stop for many Einstein is a first Tl^.lJacts on tour. Through networking with several booking agencies, bands that would have passed Jacksonville by, were it not for the club, perform here before moving to Gainesville, Orlando and further south. All audition tapes arc evaluated and bands are encouraged to take part in the regular Wednesday night open-mike audi tion showcase. The only restriction imposed by Tammy and company is a no hardcore policy, this due to the hardcore pessimism and tendency toward destruction of prop erty. Sorry, fans of the Dead Kennedys and False Prophets. The potential for local New Music to get exposure at the club is growing and along with such major acts headlining in April as Guadalcanal Diary and The Replacements (April 22), we will see the debut of ex-Stevie Stilletto axeman Tommy Berlin’s lineup, Big Velvet Elvis. For all this and more, our thanks to Tammy and Einstein A-Go- Go. Einstein’s is located at 327 North First St., Jacksonville Beach, and is open nightly, Wednesday through Saturday. There is no telephone so inquire by calling The Music Shop at 246-4073. Arvid Smith studied music al the University of Florida and has co-authored a music manual and composed, arranged and performed locally.

Trevor Bell’s Work Convincing, Fascinating

Evita too Big for the Budget By Sharon Weightman Although the real Evita began as a small-town girl, the play “Evita” is not meant to be a small-town production. The Webber/Rice musical opened last week at River City Playhouse, and it is to director Andrew Arnold’s credit that he had the courage to stage it. However, through the years, Arnold has had a predilection for mounting large-scale musicals on a small-scale budget. The effect is that of a seriously talented director over- reaching himself. His productions usually have solid performances by the principals, a spectrum of exciting to execrable among the sup porting actors, music that often overpowers the voices, and sets and costuming that betray the truth about the budget. “Evita” follows firmly in this tradition. Richard Sykes, one of the city’s finest talents, is excellent as Che, although he needs even more sensuality underlying his cynicism. Sykes has a strange, compelling stage presence and will someday find the situation that will bring out the depth and range of which he is capable. Lauren Parents as Eva Peron was also fine—a good voice in the middle and lower ranges, a good dancer, and a solid sense of herself on stage. Unfortunately, Mark Switzer was wooden and less than winning as Juan Peron. Heather Lovern, as the young girl Evita displaces, appeared sweet and vulnerable.

Her song—“Another Suitcase in Another Hall”— should be a little heartbreaker, but Lovern’s voice wasn’t strong enough /to make it happen. Ed McCormick is appropriately and amusingly bad as the lounge- lizard tango singer. And it was nice to see a lot of fresh new faces in the chorus. Arnold has always been admirably unconventional in his cast ing and it has often paid off handsomely. The chorus sang well and was dancing well by the second act, although the choreogra phy is mostly unimaginative. “Evita” is worth seeing for the per formances of Sykes and Parento, and some of the opening night problems undoubtedly are ironed out by now. On the whole however, River City Playhouse is unable to give “Evita” the production values it deserves. While it is true that in Evita’s Argentina “the money kept rolling in,” the same does not hold for the coffers of local theatre groups. And until it does, Arnold should return to small, intimate dramas he has directed so brilliantly in the past. Unfortunately, big casts need big bucks. “Evita” continues at River City Playhouse through April 18. For more information, call 353-PLAY, and for reserva tions, call 355- 6137.

By Charles Charles Trevor Bell is a Florida-based English artist whose big, bold and beautifully painted constructions are cratted in a variety of dynamically-shaped canvas for mats. His work is now being exhibited at both the Cummer Gallery through April 19 and the Gallery Contemporanea through April 17, and a visit is definitely recom mended. The exhibits offer an opportunity for examination of both change and continu ance in the artist’s creative output over the past four years, the period spanned by the combined exhibitions. Contrast and complementation is the initial visual experience and also the lasting impression for the viewer who visits both galleries. The Cummer dramatically showcases 11 Bell canvases in the hushed darkness cre ated by dark ceiling, dark tile floor and darkly carpeted exhibition walls. Diffused and specific spot- focused lighting replaces ceiling light in this setting, which seems complete but perhaps inappropriate for contemporary art, which is generally upbeat and open in composition.

Nevertheless, the eyes and mind adjust and attention is directed to the 11 areas of glowing colors dancing on the four walls. Bell’s sensuous use of energetic, relational, bright and bold color forms begins to assert itself, with the color harmonies and large scale presence of each work seemingly competing against the darkness and against the others for the viewer’s immediate and individual response. It is then, on a one-to-one basis with each work, that Bell’s formal control of his abstractions becomes completely convincing, fascinating and hypnotic to the sensitive eye. Paint and form coalesce to induce an inner directed responses from the viewer The artist’s creative commitment to color form expression makes its statement and the viewer responds to Bell’s preoccupation with elemental landscapes-seascapes ol his

native England and of Florida’s west coast, which is expressed directly in each painting. What is now suggested to the viewer is the impression of being in an inner sanc tum, perhaps a temple or more likely a ceremonial room where shamans ply their magic and rituals take place, where Bell s painted constructions mentally become color totems, releasing their healing properties from the borrowed, captured energy under lying all elemental forms. It is then that “Temple Gate” becomes illusionistically real, opening and spreading its frontal color form, immersing the viewer in the visual energies of its inner directed space. "Thruster” performs a visual, side-to-side dance, hovering in fluid blue space, spitting out hot, solar flares that at once smolder and retreat into darkness. “Triple Spacer” becomes color mutation, an inverted dark trinity, a dying star, its density a black void. Contrasting and complementing the inner-directed mood of the Cummer installa tion, Gallery Contemporanea lights up the viewer’s senses. The well-lighted space, white exhibition walls, white ceiling and natural wooden floor provide a more harmonious environment for the color brilliancy of Bell’s work. The small scale paintings-on-paper series, with Hare for large visual scale and well structured but loose compositional style and gestural brush, are Cameo expres sions of the larger works. The four large works, installed in the three viewing areas, visually celebrate their dynamic color har monies in the full light which brings specificity to their surfaces. Split Wheal is vitally alive and vibrates its presence in celebration of pure sensual experience and of Trevor Bell’s modern sensibility.

MORE DARING RECOMMENDED FOR BISTRO ONE By Rob McKnight

The simple decor and mixture of French and New Orleans poster art help establish the ambiance for what is found on the bill of fare at Bistro One in Orange Park. Lighted chalk boards list soup, catch, entree and wines de jour, and the menu itself offers “a collection of European dining experiences.” Appetizers include many standard choices (stuffed mushrooms, fried cheese, escargot) as well as some more

DOG MAN Why would a grown man run around town for seven years dressed as a dog? Dick Kerekes, the man so possessed, has ap peared on cable TV with a weekly “Watch Hound” talk show since 1980, has a successful radio program complete with barking sounds and relishes in promoting his bit with Hound appearances at major sporting events and other activities that draw a big crowd. Remarkably enough, he conducts a creditable interview thus dogfaccd, espe cially when his guests can retain their composure. But our curiosity can stand no more. Why Dick? Why in the world do you do this? Kerckes has a half dozen reasons, which come forth in no particular order to demonstrate his belief in the peculiarity. 1) The costume is a good stopper for cable subscribers randomly moving the selector. “There are 35 channels out there so it takes something out of the ordinary to make a person stop,” Kerckes explains. 2) It’s a way of working through the kids to reach the parents and, incidentally, to reach those kids who arc turning into adults along the way.

There was no wait to be seated this / evening, and our server arrived at the table immediately after we did. The entrees available included that day’s specials, lobster scampi and haddock (blackened, florentine or sauteed with lemon butter), in addition to the menu, which features pasta dishes, chicken, veal, seafood, and steaks. This evening’s dining experience began with smoked salmon, thinly sliced and accompanied by cream cheese, onions and capers. The salmon was tasty and of good consistency but the mound of chopped lettuce upon which it was served was inappropriate and made for weak presentation. The plain white bread toasted on only one side did not sufficiently complement such fine salmon. The house salad, which comes with each entree, was fresh and crisp, and the homemade dressings were of equally good quality. Fresh,

3) He enjoys being able to put his character down and be himself when off work, just as he does when acting in a play. 4) Watch Hound started as a series of consumer advocacy reports, and the on-air disguise allows him to study businesses without being recognized. 5) Being the Watch Hound is a lot of lun. And no doubt most importantly... 6) When he tried a talk show sans dog costume for a few months last year, he got cancelled. How docs he get guests, including some who arc fairly prominent and none of whom have ever been interviewed on their life’s work by a dog before? Simple. He doesn’t tell them about the costume in advance. “When we go into the studio, I just say I’ve got to change and I’ll be right back. We get a big kick out of seeing their reactions when I return. They all do a double take...a kind of stunned look. Then, they figure, well, I’m here now, 1 might as well go through with this. "They forget all about the outfit and I wind up getting compliments on my inter views. I come prepared. With the authors, for instance, I always read their books before the interview so I can ask intelligent questions.” Kcrekes has received no compensation for producing his 300-plus cablevision programs, but he is paid for radio work. The Watch Hound Garage Sale, on WOKV for three years now, is currently that station’s number one program. Il airs Saturday mornings, 7-10 a.m. In addition to a bright blue dog collar recently presented to him by the Humane Society, Hound is sporting a detachable tail these days, a trick Kerckes picked up from fellow critters at Disney World. Previously, due to uncontrollable urges among some Joe Lutcr

hot bread was served with the salad and was as good as is found anywhere.

The main course arrived at the table very shortly after the salad plates were removed. Unfortunately, the waiter misunderstood which entrees had been ordered, and the plates had to be returned to the kitchen to be corrected. This brought about an additional wait of about 25 minutes, but the server was apologetic and kept the table amply supplied with bread throughout the pause. When the plates returned from the kitchen, the result was more than satisfactory. Large chunks of fresh Maine lobster were sauteed in garlic butter and cream and served atop homemade pasta to create the lobster scampi. The chicken florentine made use of romano, cheddar and cream cheeses, spinach and hollandaise. Spicy homefry style potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower complemented the chicken deliciously. The complaint with both entrees was a certain blandness, which like the plain white toast with the salmon, seemed to stem form lack of attention to detail. While the main course was good, with a little extra effort, it could have been exceptional. The dessert cart held several delight ful choices similar to those available at Raintree, Bistro One’s sister restau rant in St. Augustine. They included a triple chocolate cake made with finely ground almonds in place of flour and layered with strawberry jam, a sinfully rich but light chocolate mousse, choco late chip cheese cake, and fresh straw-

berries with whipped cream, among others. For those with an active sweet tooth, the dessert cart alone makes a trip to Bistro One worthwhile. Entrees range in price from $7.95 to $12.95 and everything on the dessert cart is priced at $2.25. An impressive wine list includes several fine wines by the glass. Dinner for two with appetizer and tip came to $35. Certainly, Bistro One must bear the cross of being the younger sibling of one of the coast’s most renowned restaurants. So much is expected of it, and in many ways it lives up to those expectations. With a little fine tuning and the willingness to be a bit more daring, it might well make its own ’ contribution to an already superb family reputation.

future? By Anita McManes Like the personal computer and the VCR before it, the mobile phone has arrived. In just four years of the new technology, there already are an estimated half a million nationally, including over 4,000 in Jack sonville, and the numbers are growing fast. The advantages are obvious: conducting business during the commute, freedom from waiting for an expected call, access to emergency numbers and, not to forget, personal uses. Thus, it appears likely that you will have one in the future. What do they cost? Who are the service providers locally? What are the problems? Your Folio Weekly Consumer Adviser took a look. The Equipment. For about $1,000, you can buy a good quality phone with such standards as tone dialing, LCD displays that show the number being dialed, memory storage of frequently dialed numbers, onetouch redial, adjustable volume, back lighted controls for nighttime operation and scratch pads that allow you to ‘jot down' a number while you’re speaking. Installation costs average around $100 and antennas, which can be attached to your vehicle without hole-drilling, cost about $50. The quality and proper installa tion of your antenna arc vital to good transmission and reception. The phones come in permanent models that are bolted down and the newer, more compact portable models. The portables can be unplugged from your car and used with a battery pack for operation anywhere in the service area, i.e. the beach, on a boat within 10 miles off the coast, in a golf cart or tractor, or at a construction site. Some portables fit in a briefcase and there are even coat-pocket sized models. Options include a voice-activated phone for hands-free operation, a back-seat extension, a second line, a horn alert that can signal an incoming call when you’re out of your car, a call-duration timer, a call-in-absence indicator, hands- free mike, theft alarm, call screening, electronic answer ing service and a host of others. Some will undoubtedly be standard in the future and probably should be now. If you do a lot of business on the road, you may want a phone with a data jack that can give you access to national data bases, electronic mail and main-frame office computers. These add substantially to the phone’s cost, but we found it is possible to shop around for prices well below the manufacturers’ suggested list. Remember to check the length of the warranty and ask about availability of local repair. The Service. For telephone service, you have a choice of two providers in Jack sonville: BellSouth Mobility and Cellular One. Both charge a one-time $40 con nection fee and $35 monthly for access. You can add call-forwarding, call- waiting, no-answer transfer, and three-party confe rencing, as a package for another $10. Detailed billing is an extra $5 a month for some strange reason, which essentially means that if you want a bill you can understand the monthly base fee is $40 A one- time set up charge of $15 is tacked on and toll restrictions can be placed on your line. 7

Now here’s the biggie. Each time you receive a cal as well as each lime you place one, you wtll be billed for airtime a? the rate of 30 cents a minute. Most prospective buyers are surprised at having to pay or calls received. Cellular owners have to become very p.cky about giving out hek

saCi *

numbers to avoid excessive bills incurred by unwanted incoming calls. Typical actual usage can run anywhere from $100 monthly for a sales executive, whose number is limited, to as much as $500 or higher for a lawyer or contractor whose clients may have his mobile phone number. Various reduced-rate airtime plans are available, such as off-peak-hour call ing. BellSouth has a Super Saver that credits 60 minutes of airtime monthly for 12 consecutive months for a $100 discount. Cellular One is offering a free hour of airtime each month to their customers. In such a rapidly changing market, plan to check out both services when you’re ready to sign up to find out about any ongoing specials. When you leave the Jacksonville area, you can use other systems through a process called ’roaming.’ Roamer guides list cellu lar areas nationwide and their local charges. Most areas have automatic roaming, but in some cases you’ll have to call ahead to hook into your destination’s system. The Future. Both service providers appear ro be gearing up to develop a strong market here. Since service was initiated, the two haveshared BellSouth’s transmitting towers, making the cost of basic service the same for either. But things are about the change. Cellular One has spent $10 million to build their own state-of-the-art towers, which are slated to begin operating in June. Cellular One is predicting that their service will then be clearer and their coverage of the area wider. That’s un known at this point, but it is certain that they will be free to set their own pricing, and it can be expected that they will be aggressive marketers, considering their size able Financial commitment. Meanwhile, BellSouth is completing a tenth tower of its own and has others planned, and they’re saying they will do whatever it takes to maintain their leader ship position and attract new business. A dogfight a-brewing? Maybe, but we can look tor at least very strong competi tion, which always benefits the consumer. Nationally, the Cellular Telecommunica tions Industry Association predicts that costs will comes down, and the number of users in the nation will reach at least a million by 1990. Drawbacks. The initial cost is still fairly steep and monthly charges can easily get out of hand if you’re not very careful. And t ere are still some lingering questions about the desirability of the service among a minority. Some people just don’t want to be constantly accessible. They treasure their nve time as an opportunity to think and unwind. They resent the phone’s intru siveness. And they positively shudder at the t lought of taking a phone to the beach.

Elegance On The River By Susan Stanton The remote-controlled gate opens to welcome you home at this timeless French Colonial beauty. It is located on a high bluff in San Jose, directly across the St. Johns River from Timiquana and the Ortega Yacht Club. Designed for entertaining, it contains approximately 6,200 square feet of Old World elegance and charm. The double entry doors open to a very large foyer featuring Italian marble floors, a presentation staircase that would be magnificent for formal affairs and an imported crystal chandelier. The oak floors, crown molding and unique window coverings set the tone for the elegant living room, and the powder room features imported Venetian mirrors and the same marble floor found in the foyer.

For life on the river as it should be, the formal dining room, kitchen and breakfast area all enjoy a striking river view and the breakfast room leads the way to the family’s favorite river room, this one featuring a fireplace. The master bedroom suite offers the comforts of a large dressing area, study and bath on the upper level. Two of the bedrooms are connected by a full bath and the fourth guest bedroom has a private bath. A side corridor leads to a private suite of bedroom, sitting room and bath, access to a river balcony and a circular stair out to the pool area. For those quiet times at home, the informal family room on the lower level has a striking fireplace and is connected to a bath with sauna, billiard room, and game room with built-in bar and fountain. Also on the level are a small office with half bath and the workshop and laundry room. The dock, boat house and swimming pool in back provide for summer fun.

The home is represented by Alice C. Merchant of Manormor Real Estate Company and is listed at $750,000.

WALKING ON THE BEACH By Marcia Ladendorf

My husband, Clark, and 1 love living at the beach. Our idea of a perfect day is walking along the sand, looking for shells, watching the birds...just relaxing. We oil ourselves up and lie in the sun, we collect silly things, take pictures at sunrise, ride our bikes on the beach and just basically enjoy it. Taryn, our two-year-old daughter, is my main form of entertainment and she adores the beach, too, especially the birds. We’ve tried windsurfing and it’s great fun, but I’m not very athletic so we go to what the real windsurfers call ‘the sissy pond’ at Huegonot Park, near the jetties. That wind surfing is pretty hard work, and I also walk a specific 3.2 mile route five times a week for exercise. My best time is 11 1/2 minutes a mile, which is fast for me. When you live at the beach, you wind up having a lot of visitors and that’s another thing I really like about it. We have several fold-out couches and spare beds and we put ’em to use. Having company gives us a good excuse to go out to all our favorite restau rants, and we collect restaurants the way some people collect shark’s teeth. We always try any new restaurant that opens, but seafood is really my thing. 1 just love to get in front of a great big plate of steamed clams. Ummmm. One of my favorite places is Casa Marina. We listen to the jazz and enjoy all the di ft erent kinds of interesting folks who go there. You never know what you will see. One time some gypsies were in there eating fire and creating their own visual shows, and they weren t part of the act. But anytime, I love music especially jazz, and we like to go to a local pub, feel comfortable and listen to good music. .

Marcia Ladendorff Is co-anchor of The News on 12, WTLV-TV, at 6 and 11 pm., a position she has held since January, 1986. Prior to that, she had anchored the CNN Prime News and the TBS Evening News for the Atlanta-based Turner Broadcasting System. Her newscasting career began with a broadcasting degree from Arizona State University. Before joining CNN, she had worked at KETV, Omaha; WNDU, South Bend; WROC, Rochester; and KPHO, Phoenix.

partly because we believe in supporting our own neighborhood, but we have also been to St. Augustine and Fernandina Beach and like them very much. Another big favorite is travel. If we had our way we would have a very big travel fund. When 1 was single I was known to hop on a plane and go to California for the weekend. It’s a wonderful adventure to adapt to a strange land. In fact, getting along in some of these countries was an interesting challenge for my panomime skills. Traditional sightseeing is fine in foreign countries, but I also look for neighborhoods that arc not necessarily tourist attractions. The most interesting thing in any country is the people who live there and I want to experience them and to get into the local cuisine. I hate getting stuck with someone who wants to eat at McDonald’s. The most incredible place I’ve ever been is Tunisa. It’s exotic, wonderful and exciting. It makes my heart beat fast just talking about it. It’s so visually exciting and the people are so interesting. They are a deep carmel color and the women’s dark oval eyes are so arresting, and they have gorgeous skin. You can’t see their faces because of veils. We went through a casbah and that was quite an adventure. Being light skinned and having light hair made me stick out like a sore thumb against these dark brown people dressed in sheets. It was invigorating, almost scary. I was brought up in the desert (Arizona), and I guess part of the appeal of Tunisa was the desert terrain and what I called ’blonde sand.’ It’s not white. The buildings are white with sky blue trim. They are all like that.

When we went to Carthage, I remember looking at the ruins and I was thinking of the related history...Alexander the Great and all...when I spotted someone in a bikini sunning. It was a fascinating juxtaposition of time. I want to go back and explore more. We also love the Caribbean. My husband scuba dives more than I do, and we go with friends, rent boats and go all over. We like a place called The Dogs, which is part of the chain of islands. You hear about St. Johns and St. Thomas, but there are lots of itty bitty places, too. And we prefer the British Islands. Tortola is a really nice place. A restaurant in Brandywine Bay called Brandywine Bay has great food. There are so many places 1 haven’t been that I want to go. I have a friend who works in Moscow. I’ve yearned to go there. That would be the ultimate adventure. Another place I would love to go is Kenya. A friend went on a safari there and I could listen to her talk all night about the animals. She loves animals and used to be a dolphin trainer. Back home in the more routine times, we also love the movies. I seem to have gotten away from heavy movies pretty much, but a good comedy like ‘Ruthless People’ is terrific for me, and I love spy stories and mysteries. And I’m a Star Trek fan. I thought the last Star Trek movie was a giant. The woman who co-starred in it went to school with me, and it’s always nice to see someone from the past succeed. You know, 1 love my work as a TV-12 anchor, but there’s a drawback in working at night. I was really disappointed about not being able to go to the Billy Joel concert, and I couldn’t see Richard Harris do Camelot either. It’s very frustrating because when 1 was a kid I was in a theatre groups and acted in a number of musicals. On occasion, I just like to be alone, too. It’s a rare luxury now that we have a two-year-old, but recently when Clark went out of town and took our daughter to her grandmother’s, I spent the weekend alone. I read Stephen King’s The Shinning. Then, when I finished I went to the movies and saw ‘Crocodile Dundee’ and to Sliders for dinner. It makes me feel good to have dinner and go see a movie alone. There’s something luxurious about sitting down by yourself at a table in a restaurant and ordering a glass of wine and eating good food. 1 feel independent.
