If it’s dark comedy you’re expecting — you’re going to be delightfully overwhelmed with magic and laughs by “Pippin” at Dallas Summer Musicals through July 19. The dark, 1972 Tony winning musical is anything like the original.

the results are nothing short of spectacular. A feast for the senses, it’s challenging to process in one performance. Sensational aerobatics, aerialists, gymnasts and dancers bring nonstop physicality to the stage. The choreography screams of Bob Fosse, who created the original. Assistant choreographers Brad Musgrove and Mark Burrell nailed it. Stephen Schwartz’ score, including “Magic to Do,” is interpreted magically by Larry Hochman. see PIPPIN on page 12

When you look at Bangkok, Thailand, it is a melting pot of multi-cultures.” In Thai, “kin kin” can be interpreted as “Eat Up” or “Let’s Eat” and that is what

IN MEMORIAM
Dallas’ biggest head cheerleader dies By Eric Aasen/KERA News Lawrence Herkimer was called the grandfather of modern cheerleading. He died last week in Dallas at 89. Herkimer was cheerleading’s biggest cheerleader. The guy created a cheerleading empire. He started camps. He founded the National Cheerleaders Association. He even invented the pompom and something called a spirit stick. But he’s probably best known for what’s called the Herkie jump. It’s a classic move in the cheerleading world. You can try it yourself by watching tutorial videos on YouTube, like this one: “On 1, you’re gonna hit a high V. On 2, hold. On 3, swing your arms into this X position with your knees bent On 4 you’re gonna jump off the ground, hit a T motion with your arms." The Herkie jump! It sounds so … simple?? Herkimer said in a National Cheerleaders Association video that it wasn’t anything fancy — it was just the way he jumped. “I threw this one arm up

"Herkie" Herkimer was leaps and bounds above the rest.
real hard and that would jerk this leg up the other way and that’s what my jump looked like,” Herkimer said. "Any time a magazine person or newspaper would come out to my summer camp, I would put three or four real pretty girls and I would jump over the top of them … And they just started calling it the Herkie.” The Herkie jump wasn’t just popular at sporting events. It’s been featured in movies and a cheerleading skit on
“Saturday Night Live.” Years ago, Texas Monthly wrote about Herkimer and declared: “If football is the state religion of Texas, then cheerleaders are its evangelists.” And the Billy Graham of that world, the magazine asked? Lawrence Herkimer. He was a cheerleader at North Dallas High School and continued cheering in the 1940s at Southern Methodist University. In 1948, Herkimer launched his first cheerleading camp in Huntsville. He eventually threw himself fulltime into the cheer world. “I’ll never forgot my father-in-law how he thought I was crazy going in the cheerleading business and quitting my job at SMU,” Herkimer recalled. “The biggest thing that satisfaction myself was the last 10 years of his life he worked for me.” Herkimer’s association trains 150,000 cheerleaders a year — he sold the empire in the mid-1980s. He told The New York Times that he was 60 years old when he did his last Herkie jump.

#FoodTruckWithAPurpose

uthie’s Rolling Cafe is doing something unlike any other food truck in Dallas. Besides serving the warmest, gooiest, most satisfying gourmet grilled cheeses, the truck also honors twelve Dallas-based nonprofits each year through its award-winning program Ruthie’s Dozen. From generating buzz on social media to hanging informative flyers in the truck’s windows to pledging 10% of their monthly profit, Ruthie’s is creating awareness and unique opportunities for the lucky dozen. When choosing which nonprofits to highlight, Ruthie’s always keeps it local. “We also make sure to have great crossover,” says Kelly Bennett, director of Ruthie’s nonprofit initiative. “We support senior citizens, children, the homeless, pediatric cancer, women who have been trafficked and veterans, to name a few.” But why a food truck? Five years ago, founder Ashley Hunt Kleinert heard about the new development of food trucks in the service industry. Dallas was far from ready for this kind
of business: Klyde Warren Park wasn’t yet open, and Trinity Groves didn’t exist. But Kleinert had a vision and knew that Ruthie’s would be the vehicle through which she would give back to the community. “Philanthropy is synonymous with Ashley’s name,” says Bennett. “Once she got the license and menu in place, she was ready to implement the nonprofit initiative.”
Ruthie’s Dozen supports area nonprofits through proceeds from Ruthie’s Rolling Café food trucks. Now, Ruthie’s regularly receives private messages from people praising their delicious grilled cheeses and the fact that their lunch

supports a worthy cause. “Just by purchasing from us and eating our great grub, people know they’re helping,” Bennett says. And that’s how a grilled cheese can make a difference in the Dallas community. FOR MORE INFORMATION •

Signs like this are often covered in garbage. Mexico. A study in 2014 estimated 8 million metric tons of plastic trash ended up in the ocean from the land every year. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
equates that large number to the equivalent of five plastic bags filled with trash for every foot of coastline around the world. Marine litter is a long lived threat to our oceans. Our litter here in
Dallas ends up on the coast far more than we can make it to Aransas for our annual summer vacation. Littering and dumping is illegal, but it still happens often. Dumping is disposing of your trash, tires, yard waste, appliances, and other waste materials without the permission of the property owner. In Dallas, dumping of more than 1,000 pounds is a state felony resulting in a fine of up to $10,000 and up to two years in jail. One easy way to reduce litter is to make sure all of your own trash goes into a proper receptacle. The next step is to do your part to pick up trash around your community. Brandon Giannasi, a musician who always noticed the unbelievable amount of litter around Dallas, decided to make an event around trash pick up. Giannasi says, “Being a musician, I know there is power in music. Why don’t we do something about all this litter and put together an event that gathers a bunch of people to help pick it up and then somehow we can reward them as well.” Giannasi’s Trash Bash Music Stash (trashbashmusicstash.com) is looking forward
to its second year of success this July 18 at 10 a.m. People can gather at the Truck Yard off lower Greenville Avenue, where they will be dropped by bus to walk a short route to pick up litter and then enjoy a six-band live music event and raffles. The first 100 participants signed up to help pick up trash will receive a $10 gift card to the Truck Yard. If you can’t make it to the event, that shouldn’t deter you from picking up trash around your community. The City of Dallas has a “Ten on Tuesday” initiative to encourage businesses, schools, community groups and individuals to reverse litter by picking up 10 pieces of trash and recyclable materials each Tuesday. On the Dallas site reverselitter.com they estimate if 5,000 people pick up 10 pieces of litter a week for one year, the Metroplex would reduce litter by 2.6 million pieces! Every little bit counts. I’ll see you at the Trash Bash Music Stash or out on Tuesdays! Naima Montacer is a freelance writer and conservationist. View more at her website EnviroAdventures.com.

I’ve been there. All of a sudden, you get that invoice from your Dallas Mavericks that includes the one-and-done playoff games and renewal for your 2015-16 season tickets. Do I give one of the richest men in America Mark Cuban — thankfully the one that does not slander the entire country of Mexico — even more money totally uncertain about the future of the franchise? It was last week. The NBA draft was over and free agency had begun. Did you know where your Dallas Mavericks were?

shooting presence. See ya, Ellis. And in a stunning coup, the Mavericks, sent a team that include Cuban, Carlisle, Nowitzki, and president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson to Los Angeles to romance the stud of the draft, signing former center Clipper DeAndre Jordan to a fouryear $80 million draft. He immediately became the toughest player in the 35-year history of the Dallas Mavericks. Unless you count watching 1982 number one (four overall) pick Bill Garnett, drafted by the Mavs in 1982, shoot. That was tough. See ya, Chandler. And then, J.J. Barea decided that Uptown was better than South Beach and rejoined the Mavs. There is a little bit of salary cap room left. Hopefully the runway is clear for Jason “Jet” Terry, if he decides to finish here in Dallas for his final flight. He would be the perfect final piece. It is too early to talk team chemistry, and Carlisle is as good as Doc Brown at building it. But I think that Nowitzki must become a sixth man — ala John “Hondo” Havlicek who won eight titles with the Boston Celtics — and still be effective while saving his legs for the playoff run. Plus he could team with Barea in the second wave. And I think it is time to start Devin Harris at the point. Hopefully Harris has been healed of the wounds imposed by his second NBA coach (after Don Nelson) Avery Johnson — aka Little General — who thought he was the greatest point guard in NBA history. Far from it, Johnson damaged the psyche of a young Harris. He has matured, even when constantly being told he is not good enough, evidenced by the Mavs regrettable move of bringing in Rondo last year. The season is not won in July. But it is time to bring out that credit card and renew those season tickets for one more year, because in one week, the Mavericks became very good again.

FITNESS
Trim calories without sacrificing taste By Turner Cavender Turner@dallasfbbc.com
What if someone told you that you could eat many of your favorite foods and still lose weight? Sounds like a hoax, doesn’t it? Well, by making a Turner Cavender few small changes in the ingredient list or swapping one food for another, foods that were once high calorie can be magically transformed into diet-safe options that still taste good. Dallas Fit Body Boot Camp claims that weight loss is most successful when you make changes you can live with for the long run. Small changes are a lot easier to maintain over time than a major diet overhaul. Since every calorie counts, I will provide the following food swaps that cut at least 100 calories each time. With these steps, you’ll be surprised how simple it can be to lose weight and still enjoy your food. First up: breakfast. The most important meal of your day is breakfast, so make the most of it. Simple yet delicious ways to save 100 calories or more each morning include the following: • Swap your bagel, cream cheese and jam for a whole wheat English muffin, peanut butter and slices of fresh strawberries. • Rather than a 12-ounce glass of orange juice, eat a medium orange instead. • Choose fat-free half-and-half creamer for your coffee instead of regular. • Use real maple syrup and skip the butter on whole-grain waffles. • Still enjoy bacon and sausage but switch to maple turkey bacon and turkey sausage. • Fill up on a bowl of oatmeal instead of granola. • Pour skim milk rather than whole milk on your breakfast cereal. Next: lunch and dinner. See how easy it was to save 100 calories at breakfast? You ate fewer calories, but the food was still yummy and filling. Now do the same at lunch and dinner! How? • Choose a baked potato over French fries. • Use mozzarella cheese on your sandwich rather than Swiss. • When eating canned fruit, always
choose those packaged in water rather than heavy syrup. • Eat your chicken breast skinless. Save another 100 by baking your chicken instead of frying. • When you go for a slice of pizza, order the thin crust rather than thick. Want to save more? Top your pizza with veggies instead of pepperoni. • Swap out five ounces of Alfredo sauce for seven ounces of marinara and save another whopping 100 calories. • Opt for the fat-free or light varieties of mayonnaise, sour cream and salad dressings. • Have a beer or two but make them light. Third: snacks. Smart snacking means smart choices and small portions. Here are a few tips to save 100 calories when snacking. • Enjoy your favorite hummus or salsa by dipping celery sticks rather than tortilla chips. • Snack on a handful of baked potato chips rather than regular, or even better, choose pretzels. • Fill up on fresh fruit instead of dried and save 100 calories. Don’t forget: dessert. Thankfully, this Dallas Fit Body Boot Camp center believes an indulgence here and there is allowed — especially when you do it the right way. Enjoy a sweet treat in moderation and feel good about it with these small tweaks. • Savor each bite of ice cream in a dish rather than in a waffle cone. • Switch out regular ice cream for lowfat frozen yogurt and save another 100 calories. • Bake an apple crisp instead of an apple pie. • Top your ice cream with fresh fruit rather than with syrups or whipped cream. Better yet, let fruit satisfy your sweet tooth. An easy 500. Making just one of these swaps at each snack and meal can save you 500 calories a day! All it takes is commitment to a few small changes, and you’ll reach your weight loss goal in no time. In fact, Dallas Fit Body Boot Camp personal trainers suggest you to cut 500 calories from your diet each day. By doing so, you’ll burn off one pound of body fat in a single week!

WAGGING THE TRAIL
info@rawbycaninesfirst.com Barking. It’s my least favorite thing about dogs. Many would agree with me. I receive questions weekly about controlling barking. “He barks when people are at the door.” “She barks at squirrels.” “He barks in his crate.” There are different reasons for barking behind each of these statements. And in addition to the reason behind the barking an owner needs to consider whether or not the breed of his dog is a factor. Barking because a stranger is at the door is a guarding behavior. This is an instinctual behavior that many breeds Susan Strough exhibit, and some breeds exhibit more than others. My approach to curbing this behavior is found somewhere in between acceptance and obedience. Whenever Nitro is barking at the front of the house, I investigate what it is so important to him. Once I’ve given respect to his emotion by going to see why he’s so upset, I give him guidance on how he should continue to feel about the situation. This morning it was my neighbor’s three-legged dog hobbling around in our front yard off-leash. To this I responded by shutting the curtains and telling him, “It’s OK, he doesn’t mean us any harm.” If you have a good relationship
with your dog, they can tell by your tone of voice and your physical behavior that the issue no longer needs his concern. However, if someone had been at the door that I wanted to speak with, I would have told Nitro, “Thank you, now go to your bed and lie down.” If it had been someone I did not intend on opening the door for, I would have let him carry on and then thanked him for his service once they had left. Barking at squirrels or other prey is typically a response of excitement. Dogs with hunting instincts are most likely to exhibit this behavior. If you need to stop this behavior to make your neighbors happy, you only have a couple of options. The first would be to keep your dog indoors. I’m sure you would agree that’s not a very realistic option. The second would be to put a bark collar on your dog before sending him outdoors. Some people take issue with this, but I find, when used properly, most dogs become conditioned in a very short amount of time to not bark while wearing a bark collar. If you feel this
is an option you’d like to explore, get some professional advice about how to introduce a bark collar correctly. Turning the collar up too high could cause your dog to no longer enjoy his time outside. A dog will bark in his crate for a few reasons. He might need to use the restroom. He might be protesting the confinement or he might be panicked by the confinement. Barking to use the restroom is usually accompanied by whimpering and pacing. Barking in protest is usually very loud and rhythmic and done while staring at you in the eyes. A panicked bark due to fear of confinement usually includes scratching at the crate, sweaty paws and heavy panting. Each of these reasons requires a different tactic to control. Obviously a dog that needs to use the restroom should be permitted to do so. A dog that won’t tolerate confinement most likely feels a sense of entitlement that would be controlled through obedience training carried out by the owners. Finally, you should contact a professional well-versed in behavior if you believe fear is the reason your dog barks in his crate. As you can see there are many different reasons for barking, and each reason needs to be considered when deciding the optimal way control it. Owning a dog means you’re going to have to deal with barking. Be understanding and consider consulting a professional to find the best way to manage the unwanted barking. Susan Strough is an owner at RAW by Canines First and a dog trainer.
YOUR STARS THIS WEEK By Stella Wilder
The coming week will require of most individuals the willingness and ability to pay close attention to deadlines — perhaps closer than has been paid before. The need to get things done on time is absolute; the price to pay for being late — whether as a result of carelessness, procrastination, a lack of awareness or circumstantial difficulty — is likely to be quite high, and some may find that it is not a cost they wish to incur. It shouldn't be difficult to do what has been assigned in the allotted time; truly, all it will take is a commitment to getting things done — and getting them done in a solid, acceptable fashion. The real winners will be those whose preparation has been so complete that there is little or no doubt that things will get done on time. Their stress level should be low, and the rewards offered for meeting expectations quite valuable! The losers, as usual, are those who simply cannot — or will not — rise to the occasion. CANCER (June 21-July 7) You're coming to the end of a weeks-long phase marked by intermittent hard work and stress. It's all going to pay off, surely! (July 8-July 22) – You have a knack for putting people where they need to be, even when it means making a personal sacrifice yourself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) Someone wants more from you than your mere presence; you must not only be there, but you must be committed and attentive. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – You may not be fully aware of how hurtful even the most casual remark can be. Take care you don't turn a friend against you! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You must be ready to take one for the team; indeed, your extra effort can be beneficial to a surprising number of people. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – Others are waiting for you to unveil something you've been working on for some time — but are you truly ready? Assess carefully. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) Watch the clock, and you'll realize that you have timed most things very well. One item in particular stands out. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – You will enjoy an unusual opportunity as the week opens, and how you fare will determine the course of several succeeding days. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You must have all necessary information at your fingertips if you wish to do all that you have said you will do. Mislay nothing! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – A friend may

This home is located at 4208 Shenandoah St. and is listed for $3,500,000. cut Lueders limestone, and flat clay tile for the roof, which coordinated with the Dilbeck next door. Dormers were covered in Corten steel, which he told me were supposed to rust on the exterior, the rust providing not just a layer of protective coating, but an artistic touch on the exterior stucco walls: that stain. This is a man's house, with a man's no-frills sensibilities. No frills, curlicues, or froufrou "She Sheds." (I would change that in a hurry!) He stuck to clean lines, no drapes (ever! I agree!) and sensible sizing. “Some of these houses (in Dallas) are so damn big, you have to think of names for the rooms,” he told me at the time. Yeah, and he built them! It was Cy Barcus who taught me that a contemporary home is harder to construct than
a traditional. Moldings hide imperfections or uneven corners. Without them, you have to have superior craftsmen who know what they are doing. Glossy plaster walls require perfect tape-bed-texture skills, not to mention hours of pre- and postsanding, and layers of paint. The home has two living areas, four bedrooms, four full and one half baths. The garage/artist studio was so clean and beautiful when I saw the house; Barcus had some of his art collection hanging there. The clear doors make it another room in the house, and it may well be air conditioned. Large doors in the family room open to the exterior patio and create an outside room perfect for entertaining. Again, he was ahead of his time: everyone wants one of these now, preferably with auto screens. The kitchen had a

stainless steel kitchen island, Küppersbusch glass ceramic cook top, oiled oak flooring with oak woodwork and cabinets before the whole world did. The French limestone floors in the master bath are touched with hard-coat plaster walls smooth as a baby’s bottom. I think there is even a dog bath in the master because Barcus loves dogs so much, and always has at least one. In the family room is a Rumford fireplace, which Barcus knew he wanted after he put one in a Frank Welch designed home. Those are the tall, architecturally interesting fireplaces that lose less heat than traditional ones; I think the wood stacks vertically. Other things he snatched from great Dallas architects: the family room’s hip ceiling paneled with long grain fir beams, a Bud Oglesby design inspiration, and those glass
doors on the garage/art studio. Idea came from a home he built on Lexington Avenue. So yeah, you are getting a home with the magical design touches of every top architect in Dallas, built by the master builder himself to live in. I cannot imagine how long anything would have stayed broken or unrepaired in this house — about five seconds. I always knew Barcus was a building perfectionist. Whoever gets this home is one lucky buyer. Listed with Rogers Healy & Associates on June 24. The market? Sizzling. Watch this one be gone in two months or less.

leave that home until you are stuffed. You might have a party of four, but they prep the food for 20 people. That is what our culture is. I want people to know that they don’t have to leave DFW to experience Thailand.” Chef Eddy, who arrived in Dallas three years ago, is a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu and has a degree in business. He grew up in the restaurant business as his parents owned multiple units in Thailand. North Texas diners first experienced Chef Eddy’s interpretation of Thai cuisine at Pakpao in the Design District, and he presents globally-inspired American dishes at the popular BITE City Grill in Fort Worth. A second Dallas Kin Kin Urban Thai will be located in Preston Forest and is slated to open later this year. “You have a royal cuisine which is a little more detailed,” Chef Eddie said, “and more focused on a lot of the ingredients and presentation. I know that because my Mom cooked for the royal family.” In fact his mother may be found in the kitchen at Kin Kin on some nights. “She always tells me to do it this way, you can’t rush it, you must be very particular,” Chef Eddie said. “I want Kin Kin to be a neighborhood restaurant that is fun with something for everyone.”

JULY 10 - 16, 2015
From oil to water, tea and coffee in Eurasia
By Michael Wald
wald.world@yahoo.com Traveling from the former Russian republic of Azerbaijan to another former Russian state, its western neighbor the Republic of Georgia, is metaphorically like going from oil to water. The two bordering
countries are as different as night and day. Predominantly Moslem Azerbaijan largely eschews drinking liquor while Georgians drink lots of wine, vodka and chacha (their own version of potent schnapps) at nearly every opportunity. Georgians enjoy downing shots in
unending toasts at formal events. Azerbaijani people will invite you in for tea wherever you go. That’s a good thing as the tea is served very hot, boiling off impurities from the water. Soviet era subways in both capital cities are loud and old, remnants of the days before 1991 when each was a Soviet stronghold. In neither nation are people particularly interested in politics. The fact that Russia occupies two large parts of Georgia hardly gets mentioned. The Azerbaijanis seem to still organize themselves along old Soviet ways, preferring a benevolent dictator to an election. In fact, many essential businesses are owned at least in part by the governing family. During Soviet times it seems that the Azerbaijanis were allowed to continue to be Moslem, but the Georgian churches were all locked. If you practiced religion you could be sent to Siberia, I was told. It’s truly amazing how the Georgian Orthodox Church has been so integrated into society again in such short order. Today Georgians are much more Western oriented, telling you often what you could not do in the Soviet days. Indeed 20 percent of Georgians are in a diaspora in the West, sending much
needed capital back to family in need. Meanwhile in Azerbaijan, the boulevards and parks stand next to gleaming, new buildings. Compared to the outwardly strict and orderly Azerbaijan, Georgia seems to relish its chaos and freedom with a Left Bank independence of mind. You hardly ever see people just wandering around in Azerbaijan, certainly not couples hand in hand. In Georgia this is a common sight. Women cover their heads in a Georgian Orthodox Church as do women in the mosque, but on the street women rarely cover. You get the sense that the woman’s place in Azerbaijan is very circumspect while in Georgia women are achieving something closer to equality with men. Women are prominent in local Georgian government while this is just beginning to happen in Azerbaijan. While in Azerbaijan, coffee was a rarity — tea was the preferred drink — in Georgia coffee shops dot the landscape. But they don’t open until 9 a.m. When I went at a normal American time seeking a cup of coffee and a sweet for breakfast, I could find nothing open except a McDonald’s and super-priced hotels.

don’t seem to be in a hurry to get anywhere, while in Azerbaijan it is almost impossible to get anywhere because of huge traffic jams. Prices in Azerbaijan were consistent with U.S. prices. Prices in Georgia are about as cheap as I have seen. In fact, Georgia is consistently listed among the cheapest countries in the world. The currency is about two for one, meaning each U.S. dollar is equal to two local “Lari.” Coffee out can be had for one Lari, about 50 cents. Really? My Lonely Planet guidebook aptly sums up Georgia: “It was elegant once, but the grounds staff have been away for while,” referring to all the cracked plaster and decaying
buildings. And that sums up the major difference between these two neighbors. Georgia has a proud heritage that it clings to tightly while Azerbaijan is looking forward. Azerbaijan has more than ample money from its oil economy to make changes quickly. Georgia is still trying to allocate very limited resources to their best use in a place that badly needs a manicure. One thing Georgia has in abundance is natural beauty. Water from year-round snow covered mountains is naturally pure and delicious. No need to rely on bottled water here. If you’ve never travelled inside the former Soviet republics, these two neighbors offer a unique glimpse into two distinct versions of the new societies still coming of age throughout the past two decades after achieving independence. One helpful hint: if you go to either country, bring dollars or Euros. Exchanging cash into local currency is very easy in either place, with multiple exchanges on every block. In neither place is a commission charged. Michael Wald is a travel specialist with special expertise in Panama adventure travel. He blogs about travel and other musings at untroddenla.com.

number of methods to address the proposal. Currently exempt workers may be converted to hourly workers, with adjustments in responsibilities, if needed. Employers may then determine how many hours the individual may work. Some may also eliminate positions, and limit employees to 40-hour workweeks. The additional work hours needed may be obtained through part-time help. Benefits may be reduced to absorb the potential increased costs. In preparing for the rule change, which is expected to take effect in early 2016, employers need to prepare. Considerations include: • Reviewing or changing job functions and descriptions • Revising employee handbooks and policies • Preparing updated tracking mechanisms to ensure accurate timekeeping • Updating use of electronic device policies, which were discussed earlier this year in this column • Ensuring a clear communication plan is in place so all employees know the changes and how they are affected While the rule is only a proposal, and the primary duties element may ultimately be changed and included, employers need to consider whether they will be impacted, and how best to manage the change. As always, the above is not exhaustive, and consultation with experienced counsel may be warranted in understanding the changes and implementing a plan. Gregory M.

PIPPIN cont'd from page 1 Understudy Lisa Karlin went on as “Leading player” opening night. She is key as a sort of narrator, and she kept the story racing seamlessly. While onstage almost 100 percent, she’s in constant motion. She nailed the role. John Rubenstein, as Charles, Pippin’s father, has come full cycle since he opened in the 1972 original Broadway hit as the title character, Pippin (Charles’ son), who is searching for the meaning of life. Rubenstein pointed out following Tuesday night’s opening that, when the original was staged, the country was still reeling from Vietnam, which set the mood and mindset of the war-themed times. He said that in today’ version, the war-based time frame is only incidental, setting the mood with comedy and extravagance. Reading Emmy winner Rubenstein’s biography is like perusing the archives of TV Guide. On this 50th anniversary as a performer, there’s hardly a successful series in which he hasn’t played a character part – often a high school principal

or a doctor — in an episode or story arc. From “Criminal Minds,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and dozens of other series all the way back to 1967’s “Dragnet” and “Ironside.” In the latter he is cast as a “hippie.” He appeared on the “Love Boat,” “Barnaby Jones” and “The Rookies.” He’s even done soap operas. Feature film credits include “The Boys from Brazil” and “Crazy like a Fox.” Those scratch the surface of the gifted actor’s works. Adrienne Barbeau, as Berthe (Pippin’s grandmother), can be remembered for the award winning series, “Maude” from 1972 to 1978. From there she went on to a steady career filled onstage, in film and in a lot more television. Like Rubenstein, Barbeau has also had cameo roles on television series like, “Diagnosis Murder” and “Grey’s Anatomy” From 1964 to 1972, the versatile actor was in Broadway’s “Fiddler on the

Roof.” When we spoke to Barbeau, she said she was on another phone with the credit card company. She was planning ahead for her 18-year-old identical twin sons’ upcoming trip to Amsterdam, Belgium and Paris. “I’m good at organizing,” she said. “The hardest part of touring is missing part of my sons’ lives.” Her 31-year old son is in New York, where he is in fashion merchandising. When asked whether she considers herself a “triple threat,” (singer, dancer and actor), she explained that while her career began in musical comedy and she prefers to act, she has a greater priority. “I’m a mother first,” Barbeau said. “All the rest I do is for a living.” Her plans after the tour include taking her sons to their dorms in late August.
Coincidentally, Barbeau said about her career in an earlier interview, “I honestly don’t feel as though I’ve worked a day in my life. I love what I do. It’s been a pretty eclectic career so far — all I can think that’s missing is animal trainer and high wire act — and I can’t wait to see what’s coming next.” Little did she know then that she would find herself hanging from a high wire, upside down — singing. This lithe, petite artist, who dances like her 22-year old cast mates, turned 70 last month. If there’s any disappointment, it’s that the final scene is a slight letdown. After being amped up from two hours of high energy, over the top theatrics and a great score, the audience is anticipating an equally theatrical finale, which wasn’t there. Nevertheless, DSM’s “Pippin” is finely crafted and absolutely breathtaking. President and managing director Michael Jenkins told us he wanted this historic 75th season to go out with a bang. He succeeded with an explosion. “Pippin” runs through July 19 at the Music Hall at Fair Park. For tickets and information, visit dallassummermusicals.org.

MOVIE TRAILER
Rip-off mishmash ‘Self/less’ not worth admission price
By Chic DiCiccio @Chiccywood
It’s rare for a movie to have individual scenes that seem to be ripped off from “Rocky,” “Commando” and “Wedding Crashers,” but the perplexingly titled “Self/less” manages to do it. There’s a training montage, an overthe-top violent death, and a quickly edited sequence in which a character beds several women. “Self/less” deserves some credit for managing to pull all that off, but the mishmash of direction and several eyebrow cocking moments ruin what is a great sci-fi premise. This movie can’t decide if it wants to be a chase thriller, a moral drama or an introspective look at the frailty of human life. Ben Kingsley is Damian, a New York real estate mogul. His penthouse apartment that overlooks Central Park is lush with gold, crystal chandeliers and an indoor stone fountain. Opulence, he has it. Unfortunately, he also has terminal cancer leaving him with six months to live. Damian comes across a mysterious business card that mentions a process called “shedding.” He then meets with Albright (Matthew Goode), a scientist who is so sleazy from the get-go that it’s hard to believe a man as intelligent as Damian would agree to do anything that he says. Since logic only pops up
Run away from the lifeless "Self/less" starring Ryan Reynolds. when needed in “Self/less,” Damian settles his affairs with his business partner, Martin (Victor Garber), tries to come to terms with his estranged daughter, Claire (Michelle Dockery), and then undergoes the “shedding” process. This process takes his consciousness and dumps it into a younger body that Albright claims was created in a lab. After some training and backstory creation, Damian (now Ryan Reynolds) goes out into the world and lives it up for a few weeks in New Orleans, driving fast cars, playing hoops with the locals and attempting to match Wilt Chamberlain in the sexual
relations department. Damian’s new life goes haywire when he begins to have visions of Madeline (Natalie Martinez) and her daughter, Anna (JayneeLynne Kinchen). Damian is shocked to learn that his new body may have (GASP) been acquired via nefarious methods. This is, of course, all completely telegraphed. “Self/ less” becomes a game of cat and mouse, with Damian running from Albright’s army of goons hellbent on keeping their illegal money making scheme secret. There’s shootouts, house fires, car chases, and one of the most unintentionally funny and

preposterous on screen deaths of all time. Even if you aren’t a fan of director Tarsem Singh’s previous movies such as “The Fall” or “The Cell”, it’s impossible to argue they aren’t visually brilliant. “Self/less” includes the sci-fi/fantasy that usually fills Singh’s movies, but lacks anything remotely close to visual originality. This is a muddy bore that looks like it was shot as if it would appear on the SyFy Network. It is B-level action movie garbage of the highest order. Poor Ryan Reynolds needs new talent management. For a charismatic and likable actor, he appears in

is so goofy that it can only be described as going “Full Pacino”. All that Kingsley is missing are a few “whooo haaaas” or random shouting of dialogue that shouldn’t be shouted. “Self/less" is what happens when the movie business gets their greedy hands on a good idea. Instead of allowing a movie to sell itself on smarts (see “Ex Machina”), it tricks it up with loads of action movie nonsense in an attempt to reach the lowest common denominator of movie goers. Sure, this movie may make a decent chunk of change to fill the pockets of those invested, but it does it while sacrificing any hope of uniqueness or originality.

clunker after clunker. He’s at his best in “Self/less” when his character is carefree and snarky while whooping it up in the French Quarter, then he seems a bit lost when he suddenly does a 180 and starts to care about others. This is probably due to the all over the map script by David and Alex Pastor, who don’t seem to know how they want the younger version of Damian to act. Reynolds is trying really hard to make this nonsense work, but his good looks and charm can’t keep the wheels from flying off. Kingsley is only in “Self/less” for the first thirty minutes, and it’s a laughable disaster for such a fine actor. His New York accent
