Notes, views, and Jules Feiffer.

Tins is entirely on the level. It is also the vv? °fJques,ion only y°u can answer, invented? Pe°Ple bef°re '0Uct papcr was

English lords, in attempting to teach their sons to be cultivated gentleman, often advised purchasing an inexpensive volume of verse for use in the loo. The idea, of course, was that while you were sitting there in a contemplative state you would be able to read a few stanzas, subsequent to which the paper could be put to other ends, so to speak.

For more data on this fascinating sub­ ject, see An Irreverent and Almost Com­ plete Social History of the Bathroom, by Frank Muir.

What are the chances of a huge meteor hurtling through space and smashing us flat? What precautions should I, as a concerned citizen, take? What are the authorities doing about it? Answer quickly— I’m worried.

In the first place, meteors don’t smash anything, flat or otherwise. By definition, a meteor is a meteor only when it’s burning itself up. Before it enters the Earth’s atmosphere, the particle is called a me­ teoroid; ripping through the upper atmo­ sphere at about 40 miles a second, it vaporizes and becomes visible as a meteor, known in the vulgar tongue as a “shooting star.” From any one vantage point, five to 10 meteors are visible every morning, adding up to about 200,000 visible meteors worldwide each day. The vaporized matter that passes through the atmosphere adds about tons daily to the weight of the Earth; “micro-meteors”—particles about the size of a grain of salt and too small to be seen—account for another 100 tons of acquired mass every day.

So far, no sweat. But every year, about 150 meteors are hardy enough to survive the friction of passing through the atmo­ sphere and actually strike the ground. At that point, they become “meteorites.”

Most of them are small and do no damage whatsoever—the Earth is a fairly goodsized planet, after all, and the chances of a meteorite landing in a populated area are comfortably remote. It’s estimated that a meteor strike causing 100 or more fatalities could only occur once in 100,000 years, a strike causing more than 1,000 deaths once in every million years.

The largest meteorite ever found checked in at 132,000 pounds; happily, it struck a remote region of southwest Africa in prehistoric times. The biggest meteor crater in the U.S. is near Canyon Diablo in Arizona, measuring about one mile across and 500 feet deep. The Chubb Crater in

northern Quebec, now a lake, has a circumference of seven and a half miles, still narrow enough to spare the suburbs had it landed in, say, downtown Chicago.

I regret to report that not one city in a thousand (except maybe in California) has an adequately staffed Office of Meteorite Preparedness. Chicago, however, appears to have things well in hand. “After the Blizzards of 1979, we’re pretty much used to the idea of horrible things falling from the skies,” one aiderman told me. “All we’re arguing about now is who’ll get the paving contract for the pothole.”

Why do left and right reverse in a mirror, but not up and down? K.P.

Actually, left and right don’t reverse, and that’s why you get a mirror image. It may take a while before you appreciate the truth of this, but hey, you asked the question.

Suppose you wrote the alphabet out on a strip of paper, starting with A on the left and finishing with Z on the right. Now pick up the paper and face it toward the mirror.

Notice as you do so (and before you look in the mirror) that A is now nearest your right hand and Z nearest your left. Then look at the reflection: A remains on top; and what was on the bottom remains on the bottom. In short, no reversal has occurred.

Sure, the letters are wrong- reading, but whose fault is that? Yours, you wacky guy, because you turned the paper around before you faced it into the mirror.

Confused? (Need I ask?) Let me put it a different way: For a reflected image to be right-reading, a perspective reversal must occur. That is to say, Mr. Mirror has to take the incoming image and transpose it before beaming it back out to you. (Flip­ ping it right/left or up/down doesn’t matter—it’ll come out “normal” either way, if not necessarily right side up.) One way to accomplish this is with a curved mirror. A concave mirror curved along the horizontal axis (e.g., one mounted on the inside of an upright half cylinder) will produce a “normal” image if viewed straight on from the right distance. A concave mirror curved along both vertical and horizontal axes (e.g., the bowl of a spoon) will give you a double reversal —upside down, wrong reading. But let’s not get into that. In short, it’s not a physical problem we’re talking about here, it’s a mental problem. Guess whose.

We had them. Breakdowns. Tie-ups. systems failures. Computers that didn’t get along with each other as they were promised to do. And more. Unfortunately, the deadline is unforgiving; the issue had to go, and somehow—through grace and miracu­ lous efforts of our art and production people—it did go out.

But it left hastily in the night. With no opportunity for proofing. No changes. No special head formats. And no luck.

At this writing the blink-blanking type composition system still sputters more than hums. We and our machines still have a long way to go, but we are committed. We will be improving each issue until we get there. Please stand by.

P.S. For the callers who wanted to know the end of the “Dog Man” story that mysteriously stopped at mid-sentence, here following is the conclusion of the saga of famed dog-suited TV host, Dick Kerekes.

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 Kerekes picked up from fellow crittters at Disney World. Previously, due to uncontrollable urges among some of his fans, he recalls, "I used to have to carry a spare tail with me all the times.”

The bag Kerekes is carrying?

“Yes, it’s my outfit. I take it with me everywhere 1 go. Just like Superman.”

OCEAN OPENED TO PUBLIC A new access walkway to the beach at Mickler’s Landing was officially opened to the public last week, which means we are no longer quite as effectively fenced out from the Atlantic Ocean.

The walkway is on the property of the Plantation of Ponte Vedra, a private 600-acre residential resort community. And the reasoning behind construction of the concrete, landscaped walkway, in the words of Patrick Schiavo, account executive, was: “It has always been an access point. Why should we block it off and cause havoc?”

An official opening day ceremony was held, with a ribbon-cutting celebration and buffet luncheon following at the Plantation Gatehouse.

Thanks, we needed that.

DRESS FOR SUCCESS John Molloy will offer his Dressfor Success tips at the University of North Florida, April 22.

Molloy promises to target the compet­ itive job market for area students and recent college graduates and to provide practical advice on how to succeed in the business world. His presentation is to be based on a broad career planning, including education, communication, positive atti­ tude and, of course, proper business attire.

The lecture is open to the public and will begin at 8 p.m. in the University Theatre.

There is no charge.

THE PLAY’S THE THING Ever sit down and read 402 plays...and then judge each?

That task completed with help from several other judges, Dr. Davis Sikes expects to announce the winners this week of the 17th Annual Jacksonville University Playwright Contest.

Dr. Sikes said the 402 plays came from 38 states and four foreign countries, and they came from students, professors, hou­ sewives, doctors and presumably a few hungry playwrights.

Dr. Sikes, who is chairman of the Theatre, Arts and Dance Department at JU, said entries cover “almost every different kind of subject matter, style and technical requirements you could imag­ ine.”

In addition to the $1,000 prize offered to the winner or winners, Sikes said the play is premiered at JU, which is the more coveted prize.

ROUSE OPENS IN MIAMI An estimated 150,000 people attended the grand opening of Bayside Marketplace last week, which is Miami’s Rouse equivalent of the June 25 arrival of The Jacksonville Landing.

Opening ceremonies included an 80-boat parade from Fisher Island to Miami Marina, an aerial salute, daytime fireworks and much ceremonial fanfare. The celebration continued through Sunday, with an esti-

mated 80,000 in attendance each night.

Entertainment included Peter Graves and the New World Pops Orchestra, Lionel Hampton, the University of Miami Jazz Band and the Fifth Dimension. Each evening concluded with a fireworks display.

The Marketplace links downtown Miami with Biscayne Bay and features 235,000 square feet of restaurants, shops, markets and two pavilions for entertainment. In addition to the 1,200-space parking garage (they really have one), access to the Marketplace will be available from 1-95,

by METEORAIL and by the downtown People Mover.

WE’VE BEEN WONDERING...

What are those interstate highway Rest Stops with “No Facilities” there for? Is there a species we don’t know about that can ride in the car for hours, stop at the picnic tables, pour a half quart of cola down each of the kids and then jump directly back in the car for another trip without a “facility” relief? Remarkable!

Which reminds us, it took them long enough but the service stations now have a wonderful solution to the age old problem of people who don’t need gasoline trudging in by the hundreds to use their restrooms.

They just moved them inside, installed soft drink machines and began selling colossus­ sized colas.

This turns a profit on the use of the facility and yields the bonus of creating another stop for a service station down the road. An industry coup.

Folio Weekly/April 14, 1987

Downtown, the river is coming alive!

Three additional big charter boats are expected to begin service by the end of May, timed to be up and running before the opening of The Jacksonville Landing, June 25, and permanent water taxi services won’t be far behind.

The new charter boats will offer tours, dinners, moonlight specials and cruising discos, and a fourth new boat, planned for operation in the fall, may also be used for gambling jaunts 13 miles offshore. .-U At the same time, several operators are vying to start water taxi services, running shuttles between Riverwalk, Harbormasters, The Jacksonville Landing and Metropoli­ tan Park, as soon as acceptable regulations can be worked out.

The new riverboats will be arriving from four sources and possibly more.

CA

L

The new riverboats will be arriving from four sources and possibly moreThe “Old Hickory,” a 150-passenger classic paddlewheel riverboat, is scheduled to begin service here May 20. It is owned by the St. Johns Riverboat Co. and both the boat and the company are new, offsprings of naval architectural partners who think they see an opportunity here.

The nostalgic riverboat will operate primarily chartered trips but will also schedule many ticketed public cruises and shuttles, as needed to keep it busy, accord­ ing to Ed Glowacki, a partner. Glowacki said the boat will be air conditioned and heated, “beautiful inside,” highly maneu­ verable, well powered for upstream cruising and designed for vibration-free operation.

The main salon has 1,200 square feet and the upper bar-lounge another 700, and for special occasions it will cruise from The Landing northward to Fernandina Beach and south to St. Augustine.

Another boat expected in May is a new big sister for the already successful “Mt. Katahdin” of Riverwalk Cruise Lines Inc. The new boat will have a capacity of 600 for cruising or close to 300 for dinner, according to Sherry Clark, secretary­ treasurer of the company. Like the existing vessel, it will be used for both charters and daily sightseeing cruises, she said.

The “Mt. Katahdin” entered the area last November after three winters in Daytona Beach, and it conducts daily sightseeing cruises, normally along the Riverwalk and up around Blount Island. It picks up and discharges passengers at the Gulf Life Tower parking lot and is docked at 333 Riverside Ave. “Mt. Katahdin” has an aggressive schedule of regular public activ­ ities such as Sunday brunch cruises, moon­ light parties, etc.

A third boat, said to be a 90-foot-long, three-deck beauty with a capacity of 450 for cruising or 320 for dinner is to be introduced here by Canadian and American investors soon. It, too, is to be in service before the opening of The Landing, but

entryinto local waters. This company now has a 122- foot vessel with a capacity of 149 under construction and delivery is exPCCte<l around October. Presidential’s current boats operate on the “bare boat” charter basis but the new entry will be full-service, including a crew of 27, refreshments, etc.

Edward C. Robertson, chief operating officer, said he expects the boat to be used primarily for dinner cruises, but he added that there will be a big disco on the third deck and “The boat has been designed so that we can go out beyond 13 miles tor gambling, if we choose.” He said perma­ nent mooring will probably be at the beach, due to the size, but many passenger cruise events will be planned with pick-ups downt0 The company currently has two charter

boats in the area the “Presidential Sui e I ” docked at Harbormasters, and Pres­ idential Suite 11,” at Jacksonvilie Beach Marina. Both have elegant staterooms, a full galley, three restrooms and an upper flvbridge that seats 24.

Downtown’s existing river paddleboat charter, “The Annabell Lee,” is operated bv River Entertainment Inc., and that company is one of several interested in establishing a water taxi service. Dane Lucas, president, said, “We’re thinking in terms of a four or five leg trip.. For instance, we might have people buy ng tickets at The Landing to go across to the Riverwalk or Harbormasters for lunch, or simply traveling on down to Metropolitan Park •” Lucas said his company, like the others, is waiting to hear what the regulators come up with for this new area. He added however, that if the water taxi concept works out for them, his firm has two other boats up North that could be brought here “almost instantly.”

The “Annabell Lee” can accommodate up to 150 passengers and is docked at Coastline Drive near Th? Landing. Al­ though it is used primarily for private charters, it does schedule some ticketed excursions. ... .

For The Landing’s opening festivities in June, Lucas says he’s planning to schedule periodic cruises, probably every two hours.

Explaining the surge of river cruise operators, Lucas said, “It seems to me that the only way to get a real feel tor what’s going on downtown these days is from the middle of the river.”

Another company interested in estab­ lishing a permanent water taxi service.

Mallard Lines Inc., has already had a small taste of water taxiing here, ferrying people across the river to the Florida-Georgia game at $3 a trip.

Mallard Lines began business last year as a mom and pop operation, renting pontoon boats by the hour with Larry and Joan Crapps in the title roles.

Larry Crapps said they are waiting for the official word from the city on how contracts will be awarded or what regula­ tions will be. They, too, are thinking of the same four key pick-up points, but they also are considering including Peninsular Plaza at a later time.

Concerning the status of rules for the new game, Gary Weaver, the city’s deputy director of recreation and parks, said a rough draft of regulations governing water taxis has been formulated, and it won’t be long before rules are finalized. He said he does not anticipate a bid and contract award situation. “I think it’s going to be strictly free enterprise, with the fittest surviving, but my primary concern is the matter of safety. That’s paramount.”

Of The Landing’s role in stimulating this rush to boating businesses, Susan E. Houck, The Landing’s marketing director, ex­ plained, “The river will be our backdrop, and our dock will provide substantial access. It’s 250 feet long by 11 feet, which is a considerable amount of space for boats to be able to tie up.”

She added, “We are located right in the elbow of the river, and there is a heavy flow of water into that elbow.” Although she doesn’t yet have depth charts, Ms. Houck said she’s confident that the water is some 30-50 feet deep at The Landing, thus allowing larger craft to dock than at Riverwalk, where depth is 6-10 feet.

Houck also noted that the whole design of The Landing focuses on the river. It has some 49,000 square feet of glass facing out toward the water, toward a cobblestone walk along the river and the stage in the landscaped courtyard area.

In fact, she said, one of the special opening events will be a salute to the spirit of the river.

As for the long-term future of the river downtown, Walt Peters, promotional di­ rector of Metropolitan Park, thinks he knows exactly what is in store.

“Jacksonville is going to be totally water festival oriented,” he said. “I think what you’ll see is a coordination between The Jacksonville Landing, the Riverwalk and Metropolitan Park so that there will be a variety of events for the whole city going on all the time. All at the river.”

The Charter Boat Service RIVER CRUISES River Entertainment Company “The Annabell Lee,” an 85-foot authentic paddlewheeler which accommodates 150 passengers, operates by charter and also schedules one or two dinner ticketed cruises each month. Special Easter Sunday Cruise, 1-4 pm, includes all-you-can-eat prime rib dinner, cash bar and DJ for dancing. $25 per person. Docked at Coastline Drive near The Jacksonville Landing. For reservations call 396-2333.

Everything Riverside Downtown is Dooming New docks being added With the increased boating activity on the St. Johns, the next order of business would surely be more docking space, and that’s coming the way on both the north and south banks of the river, with George Register 111, involved in both projects.

As the general partner in real estate development for Harbormasters, he has secured the submerged land lease required to build a marina at that site. Register described that project saying, “There’ll be two long piers coming out of the bulkhead at Harbormasters, each ending in a 100-foot T-head.

One of the T-heads will be a fueling pier and the other will be available for tying up large craft. The rest of the marina will be devoted to large-to-medium sized power­ boats. It’ll be an all first-class marina.”

The firm of Register-Moody, indepen­ dent of Harbormasters, has been con­ tracted to put the landing in The Jack­ sonville Landing. “We’ve done the design and construction of the project,” Register said, “and we hope to get it on line by the end of April or the first part of May. That dock will be 250 feet long by 11 feet wide.”

A new hub for activity The Jacksonville Landing, scheduled to open June 25, marks a giant step forward in the revitalization of downtown.

It is the source of the new flurry of charter boat activity, and will be a major new downtown destination for shopping, dining or just having fun.

Covering six acres, the two-level Ushaped pavilion will have more than 100 specialty shops, cafes and restaurants to attract not only downtown office workers, shoppers and visitors, but also boaters.

« >

Located where the city began, on the north bank of the St. Johns, The Landing will appeal to both the casual visitor and the serious shopper looking for something different and unusual. National, regional and local retail shops will line the indoor shopping street, while pushcart vendors and artisans will display their wares, crafts and collectibles throughout the market­ place.

An open-air market will display fresh fruits, vegetables and baked goods, along with gourmet foods. Outdoor terrace res­ taurants and intimate courtyard cafes with views of the river will provide the atmo­ sphere to suit almost any mood, offering a variety of ethnic, regional and traditional fare, ranging from “lunch on the go” to desserts and full meals.

All along the walk Located along the Riverwalk are snack bars, fine restaurants, lounges and a shop­ ping arcade, a park with a magnificent fountain, and even a museum with a planetarium.

And in keeping with the recent explosion of the area, many of the eateries and entertainment spots are relatively new.

Harbormasters, the most recent addition to the area, now serves burgers, hot dogs and oysters on its patio and will soon begin serving lunch and dinner outdoors. Live jazz is featured on the patio every Friday and Saturday afternoon.

Neighbors include the Jacksonville Museum of Arts and Sciences, a planetar­ ium, and Friendship Park; a good place for lunch around the fountain or just enjoying yourself.

In the evening, even when no special

events are going on, there are the restau­ rants and lounges providing spectacular views of the river and city skyline. For an evening of dining and dancing, Harbormasters features live Top 40 music in its downstairs lounge and Crawdaddy’s has a disk jockey in its lounge.

The River Rally Patio attracts thousands of outdoor party-goers every Wednesday and Friday nights for food and drinks and always popular for fine dining on the river is the Chart House and nearby, the Admi­ ralty Restaurant in the Sheraton.

And, of course, the Riverwalk itself Remember the headlines over rustv nails and warped planks? Remember the the nav sayers who wondered who in the 1 world S down there and walk on the thing? Ah, well.

In an average week now, one with no special events planned, the tally being keot shows that some 6,000-8,000 people of 111 ages and descriptions go down to walk bv the water, according to Pat Craig Ri verwalk manager. And boats can and do ti’e up free for as long as 24 hours.

Nearly two dozen special events for the Riverwalk area are already plugged into Ms. Craig’s schedule of Riverwalk X ? this year. And there’s no question thm the opening event of the 19R7 • tbe Outboard Grand Prix circuit ernallonal the ^ay,24'25’ wil1 be a major eveT^h the boats running a mile and a quartcourse along the Riverwalk. Like the es

Over a million visit Metropolitan Park There were 1,430 group picnics in Metro­ politan Park last year, involving around 155,000 people, and 102 special events, including not just concerts but occasions designed for everybody from senior citizens to school children.

And the number of people and activities is growing fast.

Walt Peters, the park’s manager­ promotions director, said estimates are that in 1985 about 473,000 people went through the park. Last year the figure was 1,139,000, he said, adding, “For this year I’m projecting an additional 300,000.”

The park is being expanded, building from the original 28 acres. The i lie city vuy ac^|UoqC^ an additional 20 acres t« ..... west in to the '984, and the first phase of construction >n the new area, once the bulkheading is completed, will provide additional docking space.

Peters said the free concerts are highly Popular—the St. Johns River City Band atone is scheduled 10 times this year—and here are others as well, including the U.S. Army Marching Band, booked for this mtday and the Country Music Festival April 25.

Though acknowledging the role of blockouster events, Peters said, “I’ll tell you wnat a beautiful day at Metropolitan Park s a day when busloads of school midren come here, and a busload of w« handicapped people, a few workers tn their box lunches and brown baggers.

Eggstraspecials (unusual finds in eggs for Easter)

4

v v\

3%

By Emma Bovary There are nest eggs, bad eggs and eggheads. We drink egg nogs and egg creams, eat eggplants, egg rolls and eggs Benedict. But the humble egg really comes into its own only once a year: on the first Sunday following the full moon on or after the spring equinox, near or on March 21.

Easter Eggs.

At Easter we eat, drink, decorate, cuddle, collect, fondle, fill, frame, hang, hide, roll and wear the briefly exalted egg. Thus, on this week when all eyes turn to eggs, we did a little looking around to let you know some of what’s out there.

Our survey of local offerings turned up a diversity ranging from 49-cent day-glo-colored plastic voids at Peterson’s to a $400 gold and pearl Easter egg tree ring at Sandra Alford’s.

We found glass eggs at Geisenhoff’s and Bill Slade’s Gallery; there were painted clay eggs topped by flamingos, bunnies, alligators, bears or ducks at the Emporium; and at Stein Mart’s we saw a plush egg that unzips to the floppy ears of a bunny hidden inside. At the Gallery are egg cups holding egg-shaped candles, and at Lord’s there are cloisonne eggs and blue and white Delft eggs that turn out to be egg cups holding salt and pepper shakers.

Richard’s has marble and malachite eggs, Underwood’s a china egg-shaped bank, the Mole Hole turtle eggs, Mimi’s features 19th century Morris egg prints and White’s has an egg-shaped basket of mahogany philodendron and devil’s claws.

Goode's tempted us with speckled candy eggs and peanut butter and chocolate eggs, and Bob Merendino offered to sell us a bottle of Bol’s egg liqueur. Across town, Peterbrooke’s sells foil-covered milk chocolate eggs, 40 to the bag. We didn’t find any Faberge eggs, though Sandy Alford offered to call her sources in New York and several area goldsmiths were eager to make modern day versions.

Obviously, whatever your basket can hold, your heart desires and your pocketbook can bear can be had in the shape of an egg. Or you can wait for the Easter Bunny.

How did this close link between Easter and the egg begin?

We checked on that, too, and the earliest reference noted the day Marcus Aurelius was born in early Rome. A hen belonging to his mother laid an egg spotted with red that day, which was considered a sign that he would one day become emperor. He did in 224 A.D., and from this beginning, the Romans developed the custom of sending colored eggs to one another as tokens of congratulations.

Later, Christians adopted that custom with a different basis. The Virgin Mary was said to have painted boiled eggs different colors to please the baby Jesus. Mary Magdalen, they say, took a basket of eggs to the Sepulchre to be eaten as she and the other women anointed Christ’s body, but no sooner had she arrived than they were transformed, their shells stained with brilliant hues.

The giving of painted eggs became a courting custom, and it was left for naughty Louis XV to come up with eggs that would qualify for an “X” rating. He had eggs made up inscribed with bawdy verses and illustrated with obscene pictures by Watteau and Boucher.

Easter eggs also have been thought to have much power. Even the water used for boiling them supposedly possesses magic powers; Slavs use it for the complexion.

Maunday Thursday (the Thursday before Easter) is traditionally the day for coloring eggs, and red and yellow were favored colors.

The Dutch and French introduced chocolate eggs at turn of century, decorated clay eggs were collected by Romans and Greeks, and eggs of jade, malachite and other semi-precious stones were used by Russian aristocracy as hand coolers.

Given the current cholesterol folderol, the caloric content of chocolate and Gorbachev’s disarmament proposals, yours truly hopes the Easter hare hops by to hide a little malachite hand cooler with which to celebrate detente during dog days

to Havana and confident he could take with him the doll of h s choice netroit bets him he can’t take a certain beautiful woman...the crusading sweetheart of thee‘^tationX Sarah Browne. Will Sky lose his bet or lose his heart?

In the meantime, Nathan has other troubles. He’s been engaged for aeons to M1Ss Adelaide, a dancer at the Hot Box Club, and she is getting pretty tired of Nathan’s abdity to gamble on everything but commitment.

As the sneezing, wheezing Miss Adelaide, Leigh Scarntt...well...blows everyone else away. How can we stay interested in Sarah next to the hilarity and sweetness of an aging vamp who wants domesticity so much she's developed psychosomatic hay fever?

The truth is, the heroines of many American musicals are dull compared to their delightful sidekicks. Think of Ado Annie in Oklahoma. Carrie in Carousel, Rizzo in Grease. These women are complicated, compassionate, funny...somehow more real than an innocent heroine whose main plot function is to serve as the object of fantasy.

It must be admitted, however, that Kathleen Williams as Sarah is dynamite in her one let-it-all-hang-out scene, “If I Were a Bell.” But most of the time Williams portrays her character as somewhat schizophrenic rather than complex. Her Sarah blows hot and cold when she should be cool-headed and hot-blooded at the same time.

Also, Williams’ voice is weak in the upper ranges—and that always makes an audience uneasy during the ballads.

Steve Osborn as Sky Masterson is suave and sexy but without much chemistry between his character and Sarah. (“Chemistry? Yeah, chemistry!”) Osborn does have a warm, pleasant voice and was quite good in “I’ll Know” and “I’ve Never Been In Love Before.”

Also excellent were Glenn Rosenblum as Nathan Detroit, Richard Blake as Nicely-Nicely, and a strong chorus of various guys and dolls.

The chorus did a good job with the dance routines, but the choreography was not up to producer-director Tod Booth’s usual high standards. “Take Back Your Mink” was utterly charming, but the Havana night club scene fell flat.

Sets, costumes and lighting were all extremely well done. nrodnefinneh« J? 'v™ t0 uCatch Scarritt’s Performance as Miss Adelaide. The pr°duet on has a few weak spots, but she’s sure bet to send you home with a smile.

ptugic WITA TENNIS

Graf defends crown at Amelia Island Deborah Shatney WITA Championship matches are in full swing twice daily at Amelia Island Planta­ tion, heading toward the nationally tele­ vised finals Saturday and Sunday.

And tickets for the weekend are going fast.

By now everyone knows that Chris and Martina did not come to the big Women’s International Tennis Association show­ down, but their absence has not really changed the level of competition.

The defending champion, Steffi Graf, is here and she has just had back-to-back wins over both Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert Lloyd in the Lipton Tourna­ ment. She also displaced Evert Lloyd for the *2 ranking.

Graf, a 17-year-old from Bruehl, West Germany, is considered to have one of the most powerful forehands in tennis (includ­ ing the men’s division), and she will be defending her championship against other top players, some of whom are performing much better than either Navratilova or Evert Lloyd this year.

In addition to the matches, we’ll be looking for a beautiful Spring day spent at a resort located on 1,250 acres of lush

natural grounds and four miles of white sand beaches. The atmosphere of an elegant lawn party. The festive mood under the TopSpin Tent, which is the site of parties for ticket holders. Spring weather, the world’s best tennis, gorgeous surroundings.

Be there.

Matches begin at 10 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., Monday-Thursday, and tickets are $8 per session on these days. Friday tickets are $15 and matches begin at 11 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. The popular weekend finals, which will be televised on ESPN and are not blacked out locally, begin at 1 p.m., both Saturday and Easter Sunday. Tickets are $20 for these days.

Word from the plantation is that those . wanting to attend the finals better act fast.

The 5,500 seats available traditionally do sell out.

Parties in the TopSpin tent and special theme activities are nightly through Thurs­ day. In addition to the office at the Amelia Island Plantation, tickets are available at the Ponte Vedra Racquet Club, Smash Tennis in Avondale, Surf & Ski at Regency Square, Sports Afoot in Orange Park and at the Navy bases. For information call 358-3652.

In this painting of the hawk, Evans is clearly the master of her medium— the hawk is captured as frozen for a moment in time, set against a brooding background which somehow seems more savage than the bird of prey in repose.

The latest in rackets, stringing and footwear.

Anita McManes High tech has hit the world of tennis in a big way. Aerodynamic design, space-age materials and the bold use of color have changed the look of the sport and made it possible to personalize rackets with a variety of custom features that can improve any player’s game.

Let’s talk about what’s new in rackets.

Color. White is exceptionally hot, but there is an increased demand for the new pastels and other colored frames. Rackets are not only becoming more functional, but they can also make a fashion statement. Size.

Sales of midsized rackets now dominate the market, but oversized rackets are still available for those who prefer them.

And the really exciting developments in tennis have been in the areas that will improve your game.

Since the introduction of graphite fibers, which possess 20 times the strength and stiffness of wood, graphite composite heads have become the biggest sellers, making wood rackets practically obsolete. The new, ceramic blend rackets are now very popu­ lar. Strong, lightweight materials, such as ceramic fibers, Kevlar, boron and fiberglass have made it possible to create rackets that are larger, yet lighter in weight (12 oz. average) and more maneuverable.

Different blends of the new components can provide varying degrees of flex to suit various skill levels and help avoid the strain that leads to injuries such as tennis elbow.

The design of rackets that are aerodynamically efficient has generated a spec­ trum of head shapes, including round, oval, rectangular, teardrop and egg-shaped— each of which manipulates the dimensions of the frame’s sweat spot. Super-absorbent overwraps that eliminate grip slippage and shock-absorbing foam or rubber devices that dampen vibration, as well as tiny weights and balances, which can alter the racket’s weight and feel to better comple­ ment your style of play, can definitely enhance your game.

Some of the newer offerings are the Pro-Kennex that comes with optional weights; MacGregor’s Bergeling Long String, which has a tension self-adjustment fea­ ture; and the new Boris Becker Puma racket, incorporating a power control system adjustable grip.

Natural gut is still preferred by the pros for its snap and speed, but it wears quickly and is very vulnerable to moisture. A new generation of synthetic strings with many of the good playing qualities of gut and greater durability is now available in white or colors. These stronger strings are much thinner (19-gauge is popular) and lower tensions can be used. Tight weaves like Kunnan’s extra-lightweight Wimbledon racket’s Micro System string pattern gener­ ate power with less effort.

The denser string patterns hold the ball an instant longer so you can do more with it. String protectors are available which can be placed in the areas of your racket that receive the most wear, to extend the strings’ life.

The proper stringing and restringing of your racket is crucial to the quality of play you’re going to get. The Sweet Spot Tennis Shop in Jacksonville Beach has two $5,000 French Babolat computerized stringing ma­ chines (favored by the pros), which brings in restringing business by mail from other cities and may be the fastest and most accurate service in the area.

Considering all the sudden starts, stops, twists and turns tennis requires, selecting the proper shoe can be considered an investment in an improved and injury-free game. Although there are many good­ quality synthetics on the market, the trend has been back to natural rubber-soled shoes, which afford the best traction on all court surfaces.

The hottest designs feature cupsoles which are trimmed away at the sides and sometimes the back, combining a more fashionable look with lighter weight. Shoes with uppers built up on the sides to offer more support are gaining in popularity. The higher-priced shoes generally offer su­ perior cushioning, with EVA midsoles and molded insoles to reduce shock. Reebok’s RTP shoe features a polyethylene-backed lateral support strap that stabilizes your foot for maximum motion control.

A pair of top-of-the-line New Balance men’s shoes sell for about $90 at Sports Unlimited in Jacksonville, but you can purchase a more moderately priced shoe and add shock-absorbing insoles. The new thickly padded socks, such as those made

by Thor-Lo, are well worth their slightly higher cost.

Color. White is exceptionally hot, but there is an increased demand for the new pastels and other colored frames. Rackets are not only becoming more functional, but they can also make a fashion statement. Size.

Sales of midsized rackets now dominate the market, but oversized rackets are still available for those who prefer them.

And the really exciting developments in tennis have been in the areas that will improve your game.

Since the introduction of graphite fibers, which possess 20 times the strength and stiffness of wood, graphite composite heads have become the biggest sellers, making wood rackets practically obsolete. The new, ceramic blend rackets are now very popu­ lar. Strong, lightweight materials, such as ceramic fibers, Kevlar, boron and fiberglass have made it possible to create rackets that are larger, yet lighter in weight (12 oz. average) and more maneuverable.

Different blends of the new components can provide varying degrees of flex to suit various skill levels and help avoid the strain that leads to injuries such as tennis elbow.

The design of rackets that are aerodynamically efficient has generated a spec­ trum of head shapes, including round, oval, rectangular, teardrop and egg-shaped— each of which manipulates the dimensions of the frame’s sweat spot. Super-absorbent overwraps that eliminate grip slippage and shock-absorbing foam or rubber devices that dampen vibration, as well as tiny weights and balances, which can alter the racket’s weight and feel to better comple­ ment your style of play, can definitely enhance your game.

Some of the newer offerings are the Pro-Kennex that comes with optional weights; MacGregor’s Bergeling Long String, which has a tension self-adjustment fea­ ture; and the new Boris Becker Puma racket, incorporating a power control system adjustable grip.

Natural gut is still preferred by the pros for its snap and speed, but it wears quickly and is very vulnerable to moisture. A new generation of synthetic strings with many of the good playing qualities of gut and greater durability is now available in white or colors. These stronger strings are much thinner (19-gauge is popular) and lower tensions can be used. Tight weaves like Kunnan’s extra-lightweight Wimbledon racket’s Micro System string pattern gener­ ate power with less effort.

The denser string patterns hold the ball an instant longer so you can do more with it. String protectors are available which can be placed in the areas of your racket that receive the most wear, to extend the strings’ life.

The proper stringing and restringing of your racket is crucial to the quality of play you’re going to get. The Sweet Spot Tennis Shop in Jacksonville Beach has two $5,000 French Babolat computerized stringing ma­ chines (favored by the pros), which brings in restringing business by mail from other cities and may be the fastest and most accurate service in the area.

Considering all the sudden starts, stops, twists and turns tennis requires, selecting the proper shoe can be considered an investment in an improved and injury-free game. Although there are many good­ quality synthetics on the market, the trend has been back to natural rubber-soled shoes, which afford the best traction on all court surfaces.

The hottest designs feature cupsoles which are trimmed away at the sides and sometimes the back, combining a more fashionable look with lighter weight. Shoes with uppers built up on the sides to offer more support are gaining in popularity. The higher-priced shoes generally offer su­ perior cushioning, with EVA midsoles and molded insoles to reduce shock. Reebok’s RTP shoe features a polyethylene-backed lateral support strap that stabilizes your foot for maximum motion control.

A pair of top-of-the-line New Balance men’s shoes sell for about $90 at Sports Unlimited in Jacksonville, but you can purchase a more moderately priced shoe and add shock-absorbing insoles. The new thKkly padded socks, such as those made

by Thor-Lo, are well worth their slightly higher cost.

JU CONCERT EXCELLENT Masterpiece from yesterday highlights.

w

Ernestine Stodelle (left) instructs student dancers.

Dance DANCE PIONEER She recalls modern dance in the 1930s.

Judy Erwin Ernestine Stodelle, 74, is a diminutive lady with vivid blue eyes, white hair and a brilliant dance mind.

When she talks about Doris Humphrey and about modern dance, her eyes and voice are filled with love and respect for her art and one of its great innovators.

She danced in one of the first dance films ever commercially made for theatres, which was of Humphrey’s lyrical work to music

by Johann Sebastian Bach entitled Air for the G String. Ms. Stodelle came to Jack­ sonville University to pass the Humphrey legacy on by reconstructing that work on JU dancers for their Dance Theatre Spring Concert.

It was following four years of classical ballet training and a year with a Denishawn (school of Oriental, primitive, and German modern dance) graduate that Ms. Stodelle began study with Doris Humphrey. Less than a year thereafter, in January, 1930, she was taken into Humphrey’s performing group and began her professional career at the age of 17.

In an interview at JU, Ms. Stodelle recalled what it was like to pioneer Ameri­ can modern dance in the 1930s.

Survival as a dancer was not easy in those days of the depression, Ms. Stodelle said.

“Most of the girls in the concert group modeled,” she explained. “We posed for sculptors, we posed for painters and we got one dollar an hour.”

While modeling, the dancers had to sit perfectly still, but afterward she said, “We would race over to the studio to move for three hours at a great pace.”

Although the concert group toured, a ___ were great many performances ' given in rented a Broadway New York City. ‘“We ----------

theatre that was the locale of the play—we took the theatre over on Sunday,” she said.

In spite of the financial hardships of a career in the Humphrey dance group, motivation was never a problem for Ms. Stodelle. “I just loved to dance and this was the person that I wanted to work with—a person with a mind that fascinated me, that led me on with ideas.”

Rosemary Silvestro prepares for her performance

Ms. Stodelle said Doris Humphrey had a vision of communicating her values through her art and was not concerned with herself but with movement and what the movement communicated.

How do current dancers compare? “Danc­ ers today are more polished than we were,”

she responded. “Crazy as it may seem, I am now, at age 74, far more polished in my work than I was between 17 and 23.”

Following the interview, Ms. Stodelle conducted a rehearsal of Air for the G String. Coaching the dancers through the movements, she displayed patience and wisdom while explaining what the work represented as she gave the dancers cor­ rections. “This is a dance about harmony of the spirit. It’s about human relationships on a divine level,” she said.

At rehearsal’s end, Ms. Humphrey said she was pleased with the way the students responded to the style, and she announced the selection of parts.

In addition to setting Air for the G String, Ms. Stodelle taught modern dance technique classes and gave lectures during her two-week residency at Jacksonville University. The author of several dance books, including The Dance Technique of Doris Humphrey, Deep Song—the Dance Story of Martha Graham, and The Story of Louise Horst and the American Dance, Ms. Stodelle is frequently in demand for lecture engagements and divides her time between duties as dance critic for The New Haven Register, teaching a post-graduate course in “Writing Dance Criticism” at New York University and spending time with her husband, writer John Cham­ berlain.

By Judy Erwin Young dancers were given an opportunity to display a purity of dance movement and to reveal grace and elegance at the Jack­ sonville University Dance Theatre’s Spring Concert Friday night.

The deceptively simple choreography exacted from the five dancers a total commitment to interaction and a resulting harmony of motion. Being performed was Air for the G String, a masterpiece of modem dance pioneer Doris Humphrey to music by Johann Sebastian Bach and reconstructed by Ernestine Stodelle for this performance.

Amidst yards of billowing fabric, dancers Rhythm McCarthy, Amy Grimm, Elizanette Renaud, Rosemary Silvestro and Vicky Tanner flowed in a manner the late Miss Humphrey would have approved.

With this performance offering a glimpse into the history of modern dance, New Beginnings, choreographed by JU senior Christina McCloud, offered a glimpse of what the future holds as young choreog­ raphers emerge. Miss McCloud’s work, set to the music of Phillip Glass and Jean Michael Jarre, was an impressive piece of choreography using the old “cycle of life” theme with a brand new treatment. In the opening, Miss McCloud danced a mating pas de deux with Gary Eckart in a series of moves and lifts displaying fascinating geo­ metric lines, while the birth segment was cleverly handled by dancer Vicky Tanner, emerging from a mesh bag in movements suggesting a newborn infant.

All three soloists gave good dimension to their roles. Death and afterlife were portrayed by a corps of able dancers with notable performances by Yvette Santiago and Mimi Grant. Effective lighting served to accent the emotions involved, and special credit must go to the creative talents of Miss McCloud and her able cast.

In contrast to the modern works was Betty Swenson’s ballet, Blue Willow. Tell­ ing the legendary tale of forbidden love set in ancient China, the ballet is a visual treat with beautiful blue and white costuming and set design. Elizanette Renaud and Kemp Michaels were very convincing in the roles of the star-crossed lovers. Miss Renaud has a lovely style and adds nice shading to her performance.

Mrs. Swenson’s abstract ballet, London Pride, presented a look at the different emotions experienced by London women during World War II. Setting the tone for the piece were opening slides depicting the 1940s bombings projected on the backdrop.

With clean, uncluttered choreography, danc­ ers portrayed the grief of departing lovers, the strife of war, and the determination to survive.

Also on the program was a nice modern work by Rhythm McCarthy entitled, Spec­ trum. Costumed in brilliant rainbow col­ ored unitards, the dancers displayed a propensity for the modern technique of dance. The abstract work climaxed with dancers wearing flowing chiffon scarves over their heads, creating an illusion of paint running on a canvas.

A work-in-progress by modern chor geographer, Donlin Forman and a livelv jazz work entitled Dancing on the Ceiling choreographed by Ltsa Marks, rounded out the Program. Ms. Marks; fast-paced work gave the dancers the license to display the incredible energy and vitality typical of today s youth. p

ANGEL HART Ar -a- . Speedy private eye fr x Harry Angel (Mickey Rourke) is hired by a • < mysterious client (Robert De Niro) to find a V missing crooner named Johnny Favorite and is plunged into a nightmare world of witchcraft, sex, and sudden death. William Hjortsberg’s unusual 1978 novel combined the hardboiled detective story with a supernatural thriller, but the film version, written and directed by Alan Parker (Midnight Express, Fame, Birdy), has excised the book’s humor, mixed tones, and crackerjack pacing. What’s left is a dull “art” movie that’s almost unbearably sluggish and pretentious. Parker has made a number of poor choices in order to show off his flashy technique.

Whereas the novel’s memorable voodoo se­ quence took place in Central Park, the director has moved the action to New Orleans, where the same scene is “colorful” but far less bizarre.

Rourke, as always, exudes a rummage-shop charm as Angel; De Niro, who has all the good lines, merely walks through his role; and Lisa Bonet, from “The Cosby Show,” should stick to TV. Oddly enough, the much publicized erotic sequence is well handled, both visually and thematically. Full of religious symbolism and convoluted plot lines, Angel Hart is hardly run-of-the-mill movie fare, but that doesn’t mean it’s especially good. Rated R. BLACK WIDOW* ★. In this murky, unexciting thriller directed by Bob Rafelson (Five Easy Pieces, The Postman Always Rings Twice), a cool husband killer (Theresa Russell) is first stalked and then befriended by a sexually depressed Justice Department official (Debra Winger), who falls in love with the next potential victim (Sami Frey). Despite amusing, too-brief appearances by Dennis Hopper, Mary Wornov, /f nd James Hong (a marvelously seedy Hawaiian Xi Elective), the action is snail-paced, the psy^"chology of heroine and villainess inadequately developed, and the jet-set characters straight out of a Sidney Sheldon potboiler. Even the reliable Nicol Williamson is given short shrift and the “surprise” wrap-up is a bit of a cheat. Rated R. BLIND DATE. * * ★ 1/2. Walter Davis (Bruce Willis) is set up with a sexy blind date named Nadia (Kim Basinger) tn hopes o impressing a new business client at an important

« a result shouldn’t happen to anyone. Director Blake Edwards is in better form than tn ..

with Christy (Helen Slater), who also happens to BURGLAR. In her third screen appearance, Whoopi Goldberg (The Color Purple, Jumpin’ Jack Flash) is cast as a cat burglar who becomes the prime suspect in a murder case. Based on the light-hearted crime series by Lawrence Block (with a sex change for its hero, Bernie Rhodehbarr), this action-comedy was written by the team who penned Teen Wolf and Commando and is directed by Hugh Wilson (Police Academy ^[tier’s Rhapsody). With Lesley Ann Warren (Choose Me) and Bobcat Goldthwait (One Crazy Summer). Rated R. CROCODILE DUNDEE* * *. Austrahan comic actor Paul Hogan has a field day as the resourceful but naive title character, a safari guide from the wilds of the outback who becomes the toast of New York society. The screenplay, co-written by Hogan, is undeniably broad and predictable, but the nearly plotless narrative allows its star to shine in a variety of situations calculated to please audiences who just want to have a good time. Rated PG-13.

FROM THE HIP. Bratpacker Judd Nelson (The Breakfast Club, St. Elmo’s Fire) stars as an ambitious, unconventional young lawyer in a courtroom comedy directed and co-written by Bob Clark (Porky’s, A Christmas Story). Eli­ zabeth Perkins (About Last Night...), John Hurt (The Elephant Man), Darren McGavin, and Ray Waltson are also in the cast. Rated PG. THE GOLDEN CHILD * * *. Abrasive Eddie Murphy (Beverly Hills Cop) shows an ingratiating side to his character in an action­ fantasy-comedy that could earn him new fans without losing old ones. Murphy plays an L.A. detective specializing in missing children, “a man from the City of Angels who is no Angel,” chosen to rescue a Tibetan holy child from the sinister minions of the devil himself. The plot is pure hokum, but Murphy’s performance is fresh and Micheal Ritchie’s direction a knockout.

Charlotte Lewis (Pirates) and Charles Dance (Plenty) are respectively inscrutable and hissable as the heroine and the villain. Laughs, thrills, and special effects: what more could you want from a Yuletide crowd-pleaser? Rated PG-13.

HEAT. In the first of a trio of new films (Malone and Rent-A-Cop will follow soon), Burt Reynolds plays a Vegas bodyguard who goes up against the Mob. Written by William Goldman (Butch Cassidy and the Marathon Man) and directed by Dick Kicnaras farewell My Lovely), Ms actioner co-stars

MaoNkbol (SapPiCs Choia>. and Karen Young bad either, but she’s not a good drunk. Rate

Fox) when he falls in love be the mistress of the boss (Richard Jordan).

HOOSIERS**. Inspirational but uni­ nspired, this underdog sports movie (basketball circa 1951) basks too easily in its own cliches, but Gene Hackman and Oscar-nominated Dennis Hopper are pleasant to watch despite their unoriginal roles as, respectively, a coach and a local rumpot on the rebound. The lengthy basketball sequences, dominated by slow motion, fast cuts, and a poundingly anachronistic syn­ thesized score, have more to do with audience manipulation than with the sport that the filmmakers have set out to extol. Rated PG. LETHAL WEAPON* **1/2. Mel Gibson is madder than Mad Max as a homicide detective whose unconcealed death wish gets him and his easy-going new partner (Danny Glover) in plenty of hot water. The first half of the film, played mostly for laughs, reveals Gibson’s unexpected flair for manic comedy; the second half is crammed with chases, killings, and some impressive stunt work. The odd-couple teaming of Gibson and Glover generates plenty of audience sympathy, and director Richard Donner (Superman) keeps both the humor and the homicide humming. With Gary Busey (The Buddy Holly Story) as a vicious mercenary and airstream girl-group singer Darlene Love as Glover’s wife. Rated R. MANNEQUIN. Andrew McCarthy (St. Elmo’s Fire, Pretty in Pink) and Kim Cattrail (Porky’s, TUrk 182) are the stars of this remake of the tepid 1948 fantasy-comedy One Touch of Venus, in which a department store mannequin mysteriously comes to life.

Don’t expect to hear the Kurt Weill-Ogden Nash score from the Broadway version, which was also dropped from the original movie. Estelle Getty (“Golden Girls’’) is featured. Rated PG-13.

NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET PART 3: DREAM WARRIORS. Freddie Kruger, the boogy man incarnate, refuses to die as long as there’s box-office potential in his bloody rampages. Rated R. OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE* ★* 1/2.

Shelley Long (“Cheers, ” The Money Pit) and Bette Midler (Down and Out in Beverly Hills, Ruthless People) learn the power of sisterhood the hard way in a madcap spy comedy that manages to lampoon the CIA, the KGB and the acting profession. The heroines’ search for the shadowy lover (Peter Coyote) who has deserted them both moves jauntily from Manhattan to the deserts of New Mexico; along the way they outwit the bad guys and discover that their class differences and petty jealousies need not prevent them from becoming friends. Directed by Arthur

Hiller (Silver Streak, The In-Laws), Fortune never strays too far from formula, but Long and Midler (aided by George Carlin as an inebriated desert rat) are a continual joy to watch. Rated R. PLATOON* ★** 1/2. If further proof is needed that war is hell, here is the most realistic and anguished depiction of the Vietnam conflict yet produced, an unrelievedly grim but author­ itative movie from Oliver Stone, who also wrote and directed the recent political thriller Salvador.

Charlie Sheen (Lucas, The Boys Next Door) stars as a 1967 enlistee who must not only fight the enemy but also take part in an ongoing psy­ chological battle represented by two antagonistic sergeants: the ruthless Barnes (Tom Berenger from The Big Chill) and the enlightened Elias (Willem Dafoe from To Live and Die in L.A.).

Platoon's other characters, well played by at least two dozen actors, collectively incorporate the ambivalent attitudes that epitomize the tragedy of Vietnam, and writer-director Stone (himself a veteran) has managed to capture the madness and despair of the infantrymen who had to wage this horrific, debilitating war. Rated R. POLICE ACADEMY IV. The fourth installment of the popular Police Academy movies. Starring Steve Guttenburg (The Bed­ room Window) and Bobcat Goldthwait. Rated PG. RADIO DAYS* * *. Woody Allen’s die­ hard fans won’t mind the fact that his evocative paean to the era of old-time radio frequently flirts with incoherence. It’s a mixed bag of bits and pieces, but some of the morsels are tasty indeed. More like a run-through for The Purple Rose of Cairo (similar reality-versus-illusion theme, but without the narrative cohesion) than a follow up to his assured Hannah and Her Sisters, Radio Days features many (perhaps too many) appearances by the Allen stock company, including Mia Farrow, Dianne Wiest, Tony Roberts, Jeff Daniels, and a radiant Diane Keaton delivering a sultry version of “You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To.” Rated PG. SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL. Pro­ ducer-director John Hughes (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, The Breakfast Club) and Director Howard Deutch scored a hit last year with their first collaboration Pretty in Pink. Their second is another coming- of-age comedy-drama (this time without Molly Ringwald) that stars Eric Stoltz (Mask), Mary Stuart Masterson (At Close Range), Craig Sheffer (Fire with Fire), and Lea Thompson (Back to the Future). Rated PG-13 STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME * * * 1/2. The further adventures of the crew from Starship Enterprise are chronicled in the funniest most easy-going entry in the series.

Earth is being menaced by a space-probe that’s destroying the atmosphere; Admiral Kirk ct al. ride at a time-warp back to 1986 to remedy the situation by bringing back a pair of humpedbacked whales. Their often uproarious mission on today’s streets of San Francisco, as well as the film’s craftily conceived ecological message, make this latest Trekkie outgoing an irresistible delight. Rated PG. TIN MEN. Starring Richard Dreyfuss (Down and Out in Beverly Hills) and Danny DeVito (Ruthless People). Rated R. WITCHBOARD. Fooling around with Ouija boards can bring about devilish results, as this low-budget scare-a-thon suggests. We’ll stick to Scrabble, thanks. Rated R.

Dining Out

GIOVANNI’S Could Heaven Be Better Than This?

Rob Me Knight Giovanni’s of Jacksonville Beach has re­ cently gone under the knife for a facelift.

The external result was positive. A rather ordinary, aging building was transformed into a contemporary, attractive edifice, complete with glass brick and an outdoor cocktail lounge.

But what about the internal effects? Has her new appearance made her vain? Would she rely on her looks and let her substance slide? These were among the questions to be answered on my first visit to the “new” Giovanni’s.

We arrived at 8:20 on a Tuesday evening without reservations and not surprisingly we were confronted with a wait predicted at 15 minutes. The wait allowed time to visit the new cocktail lounge on the second level of the restaurant. Though small, the lounge serves its purpose well, and weather permit­ ting the outdoor balcony is opened. Our 15 minute wait grew to 30 minutes, but savoring the aroma of fresh garlic and oregano in such a pleasant environment made the time enjoyable.

FANTASTIC MENU,

V6 V

While the outside of Giovanni’s has become contemporary, the dining room remains stately and dignified. White on green linen tablecloths dress each table.

Fresh carnations in china vases bring a soft touch to the rich dark woods of the walls and furniture. A tuxedo clad maitre d’ and servers indicate a professional level of service not frequently found in public establishments in Jacksonville. Our server promptly introduced herself and filled our water glasses while we perused the menu.

The menu at Giovanni’s is the fantasy of connoisseurs of classic Italian food. An antipasto, prosciutto with melon, and mushrooms stuffed with snails all seem appropriate ways to begin an Italian feast.

Minestrone, tortellini in brado and Romana stracciatella (ragged egg) are the options for the soup course. Tossed and spinach salads, as well as Caesar salad for two are offered. Homemade linguini, fettuccine and tortellini are included in the pasta offerings.

Shrimp, snapper, chicken and sirloin steak are prepared in numerous Italian styles, each of which sounds absolutely mouth-watering. And veal, the true test of any Italian restaurant, is available prepared in 11 different ways. Could heaven be better than this? Eggplant, zucchini, broccoli and artichokes are side dishes, and combination plates are listed. Ordering at Giovanni’s is not a simple task.

version would make the ancient Romans proud. Prepared tableside, the anchor“ were crushed into a paste and mixed with egg, vinegar and oil to make the dressing rather than being draped offensively over the salad. This resulted in a subtle anchovy flavor throughout the salad rather than four overwhelmingly fishy bites at the beginning. The crisp romaine and homemade croutons also contributed to making this one of the best Caesar salads I have ever eaten. Homemade Italian bread accom­ panied the salad.

Entrees arrived at the table approxi­ mately 20 minutes after they were ordered, hot and aromatic. The tortellini ala panna made use of ham and mushrooms to flavor a cheese stuffed tortellini, which is of course made on the premises. This com­ bination was covered in a light cheese sauce and was extraordinarily palate pleasing.

Linguine pescatura combines mollusks and crustaceans in a red sauce, on a bed of perfectly cooked linguine. Scallops, shrimp, clams and mussels were fresh and tasty and none were overcooked.

It was, however, the red sauce that caused the taste buds to stand up and take notice. Fresh tomatoes are crushed and seasoned with fresh garlic, basil, parsley and crushed red peppers to produce a truly unique red sauce.

If my premise that veal is the true test of an Italian restaurant is accepted, Gio­ vanni’s passes with flying colors. Three medallions of choice veal tenderloin were sauteed and topped with thin slices of mozzarella cheese, ham and green peas to create a taste sensation for which no superlative is sufficient. This masterpiece

is Giovanni’s own version of veal saltimbocca, and it rivals the dishes available in the best Italian restaurants in Boston’s north end. It is served with a side order of spaghetti, and after one taste, I was sorry I had agreed to share it. The only possible improvement would be the availability of fresh ground Parmesan cheese rather than the grated variety to complement the pasta dishes and salads. / . <' Desserts at Giovanni’s continue the stan­ dard of excellence established with the main course. A dessert tray included Italian rum cake, cheesecake, a Bailey’s Irish cream cake and a torte gelato. The cheesecake was rich and creamy, and one of the house specialties, a chocolate ice cream and yellow cake delicacy iced with fresh whipped cream, was superb.

The “new” Giovanni’s exceeded all expectations. The cosmetic improvements were worthwhile, and more importantly, the character of this Jacksonville classic has been retained. Prices have been raised slightly but, after all, plastic surgery is not cheap. Salad, entrees and dessert for two, inclusive of tax and gratuity came to $46.

Even at this price, the value is excellent.

Fabulous food, superb service and a comfortable atmosphere make Giovanni’s a delightful dining experience.

Enjoying Myself

PEOPLE PERSON

... and world traveler

By Tony Trabert

*

L

What I really like to do is to be with people.

I’m a real people person. When friends come to visit, my wife Vicki and I, show them around the area. We show off Sawgrass, the golf courses and the Racquet Club...how we live. We might go to St. Augustine and walk around the historic district and go shopping.

One of our favorite places there is the Conch House. At home, if we don’t eat at the Beach Club or on the property, we go to Hans’ Bistro. The food there is very good.

When we travel, I’m usually working but we do enjoy it, too. In Europe, we’ll stay between events and drive around. This summer, for instance, I’ll be working in Europe and we’ll drive down to the wine country in France for a week before the French Open.

When we’re in Paris we go to the Louvre.

I’m not a big art fan, though, so I buy art only because I like it and not as an investment.

I lived in Paris for three years in the early sixties and speak the language reasonably well so France is one of our favorite places to visit.

England is another.

We do have a pleasure trip planned this for spring. We’re meeting a friend who is celebrat­ ing his 50th birthday in Rome. After that we are going up to Venice for a couple of days and then we’re taking the Orient Express to London. That’s all pleasure.

I’ve been to all the continents. I took a photographic safari in Kenya. I couldn’t shoot anything, but I like to hunt with a camera.

I’ve played tennis in South Africa and I’ve been to Russia. Vicki would love to go to Australia. I’ve been there a number of times,

As one of the world’s all-time top tennis players, Tony Trabert was elected into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1970.

He now serves as executive director of the Sawgrass Racquet Club. During his playing career, Trabert won the Wimbledon title in 1955, the U.S. championships in 1953 and 1955, French championships in 1954 and 1955, and in doubles with Vic Seixas, the Davis Cup in 1954. He also was captain of the U.S. Davis Cup Team from 1976 to 1980 and two of these teams won the cup.

Trabert has been a tennis commentator for the CBS television network for 15 years and also does commentary for Channel 9 in Australia.

and I like the climate and the people. If I ever get run out of this country, I’ll go there.

Back around home, I like to spend time fishing. I fish in the lake behind the house and I’ve caught a couple of three-to-four pound bass there. I put them back though; just do it for fun. I’ve gone deep sea fishing but I like lakes better. And the St. Johns River is good—we go anywhere someone knows where we might have some luck.

And I like golf. I have a 12 handicap and when our schedules permit, Pat Summerall and I get together and play. Vicki doesn’t play golf but she plays tennis. She’s on a couple of club teams here at Sawgrass, and I hit some balls with her and try to help her once in a while.

Vicki and I spend a lot of time together and we enjoy being together, riding our bikes and taking walks. We have specific routes we walk, depending on the traffic and the time of day, and we usually cover four miles in an hour.

Another favorite with me is animals. My brother, who lives in Tampa, raises exotic birds as a livelihood. We are an animal oriented people. We feed the birds outside and the ducks come up and look at us through the glass until we feed them on the deck. Due to the the travel, the only pet we have in the house is a cockatiel.

We’re having a family reunion this fall and my granddaughter is going to visit for the first time. After we ail spend time telling stories

and lying to one another, playing tennis and golf, we’ll probably go to Epcot. I’ve heard good things about it, but I’ve never been.

Around home, we play games like Trivial Pursuit and gin rummy with our friends and family, but I’ve only played Scruples once and didn’t do too well because everybody lied to me!

Most people won’t choose to spend their time off in their office, but I use my home as my office and when I’m not traveling I like to spend time there just trying to clean off my desk. I write letters and read. I’ve just finished Bobby Knight’s book On The Brink and The Legend of Bear Bryant. I like reading spy novels and mysteries and books by authors like Robert Ludlum.

I’m a pretty good letter writer. I’ve been corresponding with a girl in Gdansk for eight years. When she wrote me for an autograph, I responded and we’ve written ever since.

She’s in medical school now. They don’t have much over there in Poland.

Sometimes I send her a racket and balls—a little of this and a little of that. Try to make things a little nicer for her.

I met her for the first time last year during Wimbledon. Her English is perfect and she is so industrious. As a result, I really enjoy helping her.

I like people willing to do their very best.

One day I know she’ll be a wonderful doctor.
