Texas-grown playwright’s ‘Bette’ continues to captivate

By Shari Goldstein Stern stern.shari@gmail.com

A perky little redhead, born in Chillicothe beneath the Texas Panhandle and raised in Kermit in the Permian Basin, has loved writing stories since she was a seven-year-old. One of her works was about horse races, although she had never seen one. Camilla Carr’s imagination was already bigger than she was.

As an adult, Carr is still passionate about writing and theater. The playwright, actress, author and screen writer’s play “All About Bette” will wind up the second Dallas stop on its Texas tour Friday and Saturday, Aug. 25 and 26 at the Stone Cottage at the Addison Conference and Theater Center.

Dallas actress Morgana Shaw fills the stage of the one-woman play with the demanding role of legendary Bette Davis. Audiences have raved about the show with many seeing it more

than once. Her opening line? “What a dump!” What else?

According to its leading lady, “Camilla is an incredibly talented force, with passion and dedication to do whatever it takes to see her vision come to life. Our vision is always the same.

Do the play right or not at all, just as Bette Davis would say. Never compromise. I’m filled with gratitude to continue sharing her beautiful story of Bette Davis.”

Carr said Theater Three (T3) is where she got her first break in the 1960s. The theater was located in a little black box formerly a seat-cover factory on Main Street in Deep Ellum.

She had opportunities to work with T3’s Larry O’Dwyer in two challenging shows, “Stop the World, I Want to Get Off ” in 1965 and 1966, and “Roar of the Greasepaint, Smell of the Crowd” in 1967.

After T3 moved to the Quadrangle, Carr appeared in “Company” and

Family photo perfect display of dysfunction

Everyday actions affect eco footprint

By Rani Cher Monson

By Naïma Jeannette

ranicher@yahoo.com

My parents recently celebrated a wedding anniversary. A big one. To the point I needed to visit a specialty card store, the kind that makes me feel instantly bad about myself when I walk in.

For not sending enough cards. Or color coordinated enough. Or just not being ... enough.

Pickings for celebrating 50 years together are slim and schmaltzy.

"Wow. Another 50th Anniversary! I've been selling so many of these lately. We're actually sold out of some."

I could have done without the added commentary suggesting 50th anniversaries will become a thing of the past. Yeah.

Thanks. I get it — I live it. I'm 43 and never married. If I tie the knot, our years together will be limited by sheer lifespan.

As a gift, Mother asks for a new family photo, a tradition through the years but with no regular cadence. I inform her Boyfriend will be in the pictures.

"Are you sure this thing is real?" she asks about my nearly two-year-old relationship, born out of friendship. "Is he sticking around? I don’t want to be stuck with a photo of him if you two are going to be breaking up." Does she want a photo guarantee?

I find a photographer. Next challenge: a date. Boyfriend announces it needs to happen after he has his hair groomed. He missed his July appointment and is convinced he looks like an exploding Chia Pet. He's more on the "let's maintain the hair we've got" retention plan.

Brother has a week-long vacation in Vegas. Who goes to Vegas on vacation for a week? We hone in on a weekend, to Father’s dislike, who overlooks the reality the rest of us work day jobs.

Unsurprisingly, my family isn’t interested in the photographer’s schedule. "Can't we do it a weekend earlier?" my Brother wants to know, a thought echoed by Mother.

“We need to do it right after Riley visits the beauty parlor," Mother complains, even though it’s Brother’s dog. His blowout no longer fresh, there is concern he won’t be quite as handsome the following week.

Brother informs me he’ll be doing his own individual photos. I tell him he can pay the extra fee for a separate session.

"Sister, that isn't how it works,” he barks, referencing a job years ago working for Olan Mills Photography. Oh, the irony.

The Jewish boy selling photos at church.

“I know how this is done. You don't pay per shot."

Wardrobe is next.

Colors. Mother announces her oufit.

“So you’re wanting us Rani Monson all to dress according to your outfit?”

Yes. Blue and white. Easy for my father.

And Brother. Ditto Boyfriend. I’m the problem. I don’t look particularly good in blue.

Mother suggests a red dress I bought at Neiman's on a super sale a few years ago. Apparently she’s now thinking a f lag motif of red, white and blue? I try to divert with talk of seasonality, reminding her it's suede and leather. "It's sleeveless.

You won't be able to tell in the photo."

I’m avoiding the truth. The dress doesn't fit. The last time I wore it — more than a year ago — it zipped only with the help of lots of undergarments that suck you in and shove your bulges together making your stomach hurt. Since, I've gained more weight, so there is no amount of control-top anything that would make that dress zip. None of which I want to tell my mother, who seems to keep getting thinner.

Details in place, Mother starts to stress in new ways.

"Who's going to want all these large family photos when I die? None of you are going to want them." She's in great health with no medical issues. She maybe takes a daily aspirin. I tell her Boyfriend will, which I find funny since she questioned him being in the photo. She doesn’t laugh.

Everyone is on time for the photo shoot, except for me. Riley rushes up to say hello when I arrive, late. "I don't think he's clean," Mother starts muttering.

Brother claims he bathed Riley, which no one believes. “If I'd bathed him, he'd be sparkling white," Mother continues.

The situation is remarkably calm. No one indulges in the champagne or offered wine. Without saying it, we all know we're working against a ticking time bomb, when the peace will end and insanity will ensue. I aim for peace until the next round — dealing with everyone’s opinions on the photo proofs.

Writer Rani Monson lives in Dallas.

She's still trying to figure out what she wants to be when she grows up.

At the start of every semester, I have my students fill out an ecological footprint worksheet.

It’s a quick way to get people thinking about Naïma Jeannette how everyday actions relate to and affect the world we live in. It’s not 100 percent accurate, but it breaks down your daily activities like driving, brushing your teeth, buying clothes, your living space and more into a number. The number is the amount of acres you would need to support all of your habits as they exist right now.

The average American ecological footprint is around 24 acres/person which funny enough, this semester my student’s averaged about a 24.

That means if everyone lived as Americans live we would need about six Earths to sustain life.

The average ecological footprint in Canada is a bit lower at 22 acres/person while countries such as Italy and India are much lower, under five acres/person. Most people assume my number must be a five. It’s not. I still live in the U.S. and no matter how much I conserve and downsize, I still live in an upsized city.

The growth in Dallas continues at a rapid pace. Huge corporate buildings, large tract homes and immense condos are built faster than I can sell any of my belongings on Facebook Marketplace. I’m trying to downsize while most of Dallas and the U.S. are upsizing.

How long do we think we can continue to build and grow? We should place bets on this like a baby pool. My random guess is 2067 — 50 years from now.

I walk through my neighborhood and go through the scenarios in my head. In 50 years, will all of these houses be empty or two-thirds of them blocked off so the family living there can afford to heat and cool at least a small space? Or will we at some point push through the sustainability wall and everyone will switch to a sustainable source of energy?

The massive amount of attention the total K ATY TR AIL WEEKLY'S

solar eclipse got was promising. To me it meant that people can understand and see how cool science is in mass numbers. A tangible event that can be calculated by scientists hundreds of years in advance that everyone can take part in.

It has nothing to do with political or religious sides, it’s just data and knowledge. I watched the solar eclipse in my neighborhood, thinking about our ecological footprint.

How do we connect to our environment as well as we connected to the solar eclipse? I think we need a change of shape in the conversation from scientists, media, and influencers (ie: companies, famous people, etc.). In our upsized culture, we gather possessions instead of experiences, put our work over our happiness, and perpetuate these feelings in our younger generations. Think about how you and the ones around you live your lives?

How can you lower your ecological footprint? First — be aware of how all of your daily happenings are related to the environment.

Visit footprintnetwork.org to calculate your own ecological footprint. As you answer the questions, think about the bigger picture: Did you realize this part of your life was connected to the environment? How would someone living in another country answer this question?

I’ve recently shifted my social media feeds to help shape the information I see daily.

Instead of only seeing typical American culture-styled posts like celebrity news and new things to buy, I’ve joined a number of groups and liked/followed pages that extend my daily reach out of this country. The greatest influence this brought was connecting me with thoughts of different people from around the world and how they live.

My ecological footprint is still high and I continue to lower it through changes in my daily life inspired by my connection to the world outside of Dallas’ upsized culture. I hope you’re encouraged to look beyond Dallas and within yourself to make Dallas better.

NBA Most Valuable Player, 12-time

By Ryann Gordon

Following up on my article from last week, I’d like to take a closer look at the American culture that we call our own, through the angle of something a bit more abstract — art. I know that last week’s Uptown Girl column might have been a bit stirring, which I sadly cannot apologize for. However, one thing that I did mention that I believe should welcome a more in-depth explanation is the point at which I spoke my opinion on the taking down of historic Confederate statues, the leading argument behind the Charlottesville uproar.

Last week, I voiced my stance in the debate on the removal of Charlottesville’s well-known statue of leading Confederate general, Robert E. Lee. And, although there is no questioning the statue’s questionable representation in modern society, I still believe that the physical properties behind the arguments which led to this collision are worth discussing in a more understanding light.

The events of Charlottesville have caused an upheaval across the nation. Not only are statues of Robert E. Lee being desecrated from New York to Florida, New Orleans and so forth, but this movement made by white nationalists has overtly backfired on their “cause” in an unmistakable manner. Now, it seems that national authorities across the nation have jumped on the equality train. But that doesn’t exactly mean we are coming together for kumbaya just yet. How do we do that though, if not with the help of history and art?

As of right now, it has been declared that Confederate statues will come down in California, Florida, Kentucky, New York, Maryland and more to come. My words to all white nationalists involved in last week’s events — you’ve really done it now, huh? And, they’ve already addressed calls and made claims to begin removing statues from Dallas’

own Robert E. Lee Park.

Looking at the ultimate problem, it’s easy to propose that these statues be taken to a specific museum Ryann Gordon and replaced with memorials more applicable to today’s day and age. But … the history … the art!

Why is it that we can’t just add more memorials and/or statues around these or add on to them to express and celebrate the progress we’ve made in the time since slavery was abolished? I suppose it’s a dying argument now. If it means just a moment of political rest, I’m on board.

But, in the end, we have to come to a realization that these representations are a part of our history that will always be there. Either walk by and spit on them or march the streets with pickets until the cows come home.

Luckily, we can still learn from art in other ways. And, taking a look at the international image that our country has taken on during this racial controversy, perhaps we should remember that this is a bigger problem than just what’s going on in front of us — the world is watching our every move. So, let’s reflect on America’s past for a moment. One way we can take a more lighthearted approach to all this discontent is through art. And, currently Dallas holds the perfect venue.

Until Sunday, Sept. 3, you can visit the Dallas Museum of Art for Visions of America, where you can reflect on three centuries of prints that represent American culture and its progression over time. Go on a trip through time from America’s discovery to the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Civil Rights Era and beyond. Then ask yourself, what would a representation of America today look like?

Are we revolutionaries or are we fighting another social Civil War?

djboldt@sbcglobal.net It’s not news, but bears repeating. The 4-door sedan has lost both favor and fervor in the automotive sales sweepstakes. Sure, Accords and Camrys will continue to move, and we suspect there will always be a buyer for a Civic or Corolla. But beyond the volume brands, the beating heart of the 4-door sedan or sport sedan has diminished, with a pulse that’s perceptible, but just barely. In much the same way as Carson begat Fallon and Yamaha’s XS650 is now the FZ-07, yesterday’s 4-door is quickly morphing into today’s crossLEXUS over. The next 5 Series is arguably today’s RX 350.

That, of course, is a lot of money, and would provide you with a host of competitors, including those from the BMW and Benz showrooms.

We liked the RX 350 F Sport, but only after we got behind the wheel. The walk-up was mildly painful.

Sp tlight CAMP SUMMIT

Disabled children and adults are welcomed at Camp Summit, regardless of the severity of their physical challenges.

By Sally Blanton

sallyblanton455@gmail.com Each week, Katy Trail Weekly will feature a charity that is doing remarkable work in Dallas, a city known for philanthropy and generosity.

QW hat is your mission or highest purpose?

A The mission of Camp Summit is to pro-

vide barrier-free outdoor experiences that promote personal growth and foster independence for children and adults with disabilities. It was founded as Camp Soroptimist in 1947.

Q H ow many people are served each year?

A We serve over 2,400 campers every year through our year-round camp programs. Our camp can accommodate up to 100 campers per session and we offer more than 25 sessions throughout the year, during our spring break, summer, and fall seasons. Our campers may be physically challenged, developmentally delayed, dual-sensory impaired or have multiple disabilities.

QW hat percentage amount actually reaches those in need?

A We are proud to say that we have earned the highest rating of four stars from Charity Navigator for five consecutive years. We have never turned a camper away due to an inability to pay.

QW hat upcoming fundraisers are on the calendar?

A Our largest fundraiser of the year is right around the corner. Camp Summit’s 16th Annual “Boots and Bandanas Benefit Dinner and Auction” will be held on Thursday, Nov. 2. at Eddie Deen's Ranch.

We will have barbeque, live music by Shoot Low Sheriff, live and silent auctions and a good ol’ Texas time! Tickets start at $125.

QW hat is your facility like?

A We opened the gates to our brand new

camp in Paradise, Texas last year. We have a fully renovated campground and increased bed capacity. Campers have a blast exploring and picking out their favorite places — like the Aquatic Area with a beach entry pool and splash pads, or the endless paths and trails throughout the nature area, or the Rec Center where the weekly dance is held.

Q P lease tell how a specific person or family was helped.

A Jackie, 14, was one of our remarkable

campers. Her parents were anxious about sending her to camp. “No one can take care of my child like me,” her parents said. “What if she has a seizure? Who will be watching her all the time? What if they just don’t understand Jackie?” But they realized quite the opposite. “We knew we had found a place that was right — a place where the people really understood our child, our situation and our family. We have never felt that way before. It was so welcomed and incredibly beneficial to our entire family.

“And our daughter,” her parents said, “Well, she had a great time at camp! Her cabin mates were so well matched that we never had concerns for her safety or staying overnight. Jackie had fun, plus the rare opportunity to be away from mom and dad with new friends, to be her own person. Spending time with peers has helped her to develop her identity, experience a sense of independence and grow in self-confidence.”

Carla Weiland, President and CEO, answered this week’s questions.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

Where’s the beef? In the Arts District Baklava Shortbread

KEVIN MARPLE

Tomahawk ribeye from Corrientes 348.

By Dotty Griffith

dotty.griffith@yahoo.com American-style steakhouses are a well-known quantity in Dallas. Though not as numerous, Brazilian steakhouses put down roots here years ago and have a following. Now comes another Dotty Griffith variation, an Argentinian steakhouse, Corrientes 348.

The Argentinian steakhouse modus operandi falls somewhere in between the individual, a la carte service of the American beef palace and the prix fixe, continuous service, all-you-can-eat meat orgy of a Brazilian steakhouse.

Corrientes 348, new in the Arts District in the restaurant space formerly known as Stephan Pyles, reflects this middle earth.

Diners order from a menu, as at an American steakhouse, but the sides, salads and proteins are served family-style, including grilled steaks, fish, ribs and pork served on platters sliced for sharing, South American style.

Got that?

If not, servers will be glad to explain the routine while you peruse the menu. There’s a lot to like and several things to be curious about. Starting with empanadas, small meat or vegetable-filled pies, notable here for their flaky crusts and well-spiced fillings.

They were but the first of several starters and something familiar.

Not as well-known in these parts: chorizo, Spanish style, a small link sausage (not the bulk Mexican-style) came hot off the grill with chimichurri sauce, a traditional accompaniment to Argentinian grilled meats. “Chimi,” if you’re wondering, is a redolent blend of fresh garlic and parsley, oil and vinegar that tops rich portions of grilled meats as beautifully as a tiara topped Princess Di. Even less familiar but delicious like chopped brisket, matambrito, shredded beef rib meat, was also served with chimichurri.

Then the big plates of meat started coming. The sampler is the most cost-efficient way to experience a variety of offerings.

It includes center cut ribeye, prime strip loin and prime bottom sirloin, grilled medium rare and sliced for sharing. At the opposite extreme, the jaw-dropping tomahawk ribeye is a small rib roast so big it turns heads when brought to your table where the server slices it.

Not in the mood for beef? Lamb, both rack and leg, is on the menu. So are grilled pork ribs and a bone-in pork chop, a mini-me of the beef tomahawk. Chicken legs fill the fowl category. For fish, select grilled wild cod, salmon or redfish.

For a grilling culture like ours, the fare at Corrientes 348 is inspirational and aspirational.

Sides and salads open more portals for adventure. As you might expect, there are lots of potato options. After all, meat-and-potatoes pair well in just about every cuisine. Spuds are on the menu as mashed, smashed and grilled with blue cheese or herb butter. There are a couple of rice pilaf variations as well as polenta.

The real wild card is, however, farofa con huevo. The dish is like toasted bread crumbs sautéed with eggs, onions and fresh herbs. A traditional South American side starch, farofa is flour crumbs from a tuber known as yuca, manioc, or cassava.

Americans are more familiar with another of its dried guises, tapioca. An acquired taste for a typical American palate, Corrientes’ farofa is an experiment worth conducting for curious culinarians and those inclined to eat authentic.

A variety of grilled vegetables, including asparagus, broccolini, eggplant, onions and squash, round out the side offerings.

Salads are more interesting, such as the bariloche with arugula, dried apricots, red endive, goat cheese, candied almonds and caramelized onions with a balsamic vinaigrette. The signature house salad with watercress, hearts of palm, mango and radicchio dressed with a vinaigrette also breaks the traditional American steakhouse mold.

The name of the new entry in the Dallas meat race refers to the famed street of the same name in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina; and Corrientes 348 is an address in the lyrics of a famous tango, A Media Luz. The original Corrientes 348 steakhouse opened in Buenos Aires 20 years ago. The Dallas location is the eighth and the first in the U.S. Others are in South America.

Dallas meat lovers rejoice. Now you can get grilled — American, Brazilian and Argentinian style.

MOVIE TRAILER

David Cronenberg's ‘Good Time’ is an odd, uncomfortable journey

By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood

Ever since the final installment of “The Twilight Saga” hit theaters, Robert Pattinson has been distancing himself from Team Edward. He’s been in a few strange David Cronenbergdirected films and even taken second billing in the underrated “The Lost City of Z.” In “Good Time,” Pattinson blows away any idea that he’s only a pretty face and puts in a performance so scuzzy that it’s reminiscent of a 1970s Al Pacino or Harvey Keitel role. He’s so fantastic as a New York lowlife punk that it makes it easier to watch a movie that is nearly two hours of uncomfortable close ups, off putting characters and a constant feeling of unease. Basically, “Good Time” is mesmerizing even

as it disgusts.

Pattinson plays Connie Nikas, a smooth talking, street smart thug that over the course of 99 minutes makes every poor decision possible. His brother, Nick (Ben Safdie), is mentally disabled and Connie hides his criminal negligence behind the convenient guise of “doing it for Nickie.”

Moments after bursting into one of Nick’s meetings with a counselor, Connie drags him along to an early morning bank robbery.

If you think Connie has a noble or Robin Hoodlike reason for needing the cash, well, you’d be wrong.

Naturally, everything goes wrong and the next thing you know, Nick is in handcuffs and Connie is on the run.

The rest of “Good Time” is a series of sequences that prove it is possible for Connie to sink

lower than forcing a mentally disabled person to commit a crime. He bounces from scam to scam, even bringing in his much older girlfriend (Jennifer Jason Leigh) in an early attempt to bail his brother out of jail with her mother’s credit card.

It only gets more sickening from there as Connie leaves nothing but destruction in his wake.

Directors and brothers Josh and Ben Safdie, the latter also playing Nick, have no interest whatsoever in making Connie likable for even a fleeting moment. The screenplay, credited to Josh Safdie and Ronald Bronstein (who also teamed up to edit the movie), is lean and there’s never a wasted moment. It’s unbelievably thrilling and nerve-wracking, but written and directed in a way that virtually guarantees there will be zero mainstream box office success for “Good Time.”

The main factor of “Good Time” that won’t go over well with the regular movie crowd is the cinematography of Sean Price Williams and the editing.

Nearly every scene is filled with uncomfortable close ups that disorient a viewer and place you firmly in the moment. It’s an extremely effective way to tell the story, but it also puts you in

A24

Robert Pattinson stars in "Good Time." a world that you desperately want to get out of if only so you can immediately take a shower.

“Good Times” should drive a stake in the heart of the romantic lead actor version of Robert Pattinson.

The role of Connie firmly establishes him as a fantastic character actor without a shred of vanity. His “New Yawk” accent is particularly astonishing considering that he is very, very British.

What Pattinson does best as Connie is behave like a cornered animal, but never a rabid one. His decisions are nothing more than desperate attempts at survival with no regard for anyone around him.

After 12 hours on the run, one would think he’d panic and snap. Nope. Pattinson

keeps Connie on the path to self destruction with nothing more than dark circles under his bugged out eyes and a constant layer of sweat.

There may not have been a more sarcastically titled movie hit theaters in a decade. “Good Time” is

anything but its namesake for its characters and an audience. It is a visceral, authentic and intense look at a 24-hour self-destructive binge. It’s exhausting to watch, but impossible to turn away and one of the more oddly captivating movies of 2017.

By Candy Evans

candace@candysdirt.com Our Monday Morning Millionaire at 8891 Jourdan Way is the most beautiful Candace Evans Preston Hollow French Renaissance estate you've ever seen. Not even kidding you. And it also has an unmatched architectural pedigree. It was designed by renowned architect Peter Marino, who brings an unprecedented level of elegance and luxury to everything he touches.

What is Monday Morning Millionaire?

It is a weekly feature on CandysDirt.com so you, too, can enjoy millionaire mansions every Monday. Subscribe and it’s like having your very own, maintenance-free mansion.

Marino apprenticed under I.M. Pei and George Nelson. Early in his career, he designed Andy Warhol’s private home, Yves St. Laurent and Pierre Bergé’s Manhattan apartment and the Park Avenue apartment of Gianni and Marella Agnelli. When Barney’s was owned by the Pressmans, they hired him to mastermind their displays.

He’s also designed just a few luxury stores — 30 for Chanel, 20 for Louis Vuitton and 15 for Dior. Armani, Arnault and Rothschild are among the more recent clients he will name.

Private residences make up only about a quarter of his projects. If you can nab him to design your home, you've lucked out. There is simply no one better. If you are looking for incomparable luxury, you'll find it in this grand home. Hint: there is another Dallas estate that has Peter Marino's unmistakeable touch, can you tell us what it is?

Built in 1999, the estate sits on 3.2 acres of lush grounds that include a .79acre private lake and a guard house. There are 18,691 square feet in the main house and 1,253 square feet in the guest house,

ALLIE BETH ALLMAN

Preston Hollow French Renaissance estate, located at 8891 Jourdan Way, is listed at $27.5 million.

bringing the total livable space to 19,944 square feet. With three floors, seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, five powder baths and a basement natatorium, you will likely never want to leave home.

When Peter Marino takes on a project, a homeowner can relax because they are in the hands of a master. He understands how to mix the theatrical with the practical, has an almost obsessive attention to detail, and yet he never lets that drop-dead drama interfere with comfort.

Black-and-white limestone floors and the first of 14 fireplaces greet you as you step into the foyer. This one is French marble from the 18th century. The walls surrounding the three-story staircase are covered in hand-painted Gracie wallpaper.

There are hidden panels, faux finishes, Venetian plaster, gold and leather trimmed bookcases, antique Delft tiles, and Scalamandre silk taffeta walls to please the most discerning eye. On a more practical level, there are brilliant features like a flower refrigerator, a trophy closet and custom

storage for your tablecloths.

Getting back to that pedigree, Peter Marino was heavily influenced by Lorenzo Mongiardino who favored atmosphere over authenticity, largely because of his work in the film industry for the likes of Franco Zeffirelli and Gian Carlo Menotti.

Mongiardino counted the Rothschild family and fashion icon Valentino among his clients.

Marino pays homage to Mongiardino in this estate by echoing the look of a room he designed for Valentino’s Via Appia villa in Rome. So, if you are lucky enough to snag this gorgeous French Renaissance home, think twice about removing the bold red and white check paper and draperies and painting the walls a dreary gray. This is the sort of home that requires decadent and lavish appointments.

Estates of this size don’t run themselves.

There is not only an estate manager’s office, but the home has staff quarters that include a dining room, living room, kitchen and bedrooms.

The basement holds the best surprise — a natatorium with a spa, salon, full bathroom, custom locker room and a hand-painted French scene on the walls because there has to be some drama here as well!

Although you are in the heart of Preston Hollow, you are completely secluded from the neighbors who, by the way, include Lisa Blue Baron, Doug Barnes, the Engstroms, the Rachofskys and the Wylys. Yes, you’re in good company.

Allie Beth Allman has this luxury estate listed for $27.5 million.

“It’s the first time this house has ever been available to the public for sale,” Allman said. That makes it a truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. An estate like this seldom comes along, and with a Peter Marino pedigree, it’s worth every penny.

CandysDirt.com is the only blog in Dallas for the truly real estate obsessed! Named by National Association of Real Estate Editors as the BEST Real Estate Blog in the country.

UNCLE BARKY’S BITES

Fox is banking on Seth MacFarlane for another hit

By Ed Bark

unclebarky@verizon.net Editor’s note — Katy Trail Weekly television writer Ed Bark just returned from Beverly Hills for the advances of the upcoming network season programming.

Fox is giving Seth MacFarlane a big budget and lots of space to launch "The Orville."

The "Family Guy" creator, who also acts, hosts, croons, voices cartoon characters and directs feature films, is getting by far his most visible TV role as problematic spacecraft captain Ed Mercer, who's told at the outset that he's "nobody's first choice for this job."

The one-hour intergalactic series, in which MacFarlane also is the principal off-camera force, premieres on Sunday, Sept.

10 amid both great expectations from Fox and serious questions about whether viewers will embrace its on/off mix of drama and comedy.

Three episodes made available for preview suggest that MacFarlane is still struggling with "tone," which frequently came up during Tuesday's late afternoon interview session. Fox promos for the series, set 400 years into the future, accentuate the comedic aspects of life — and the various life forms — aboard The Orville.

MacFarlane, who was joined by an assortment of 11 other cast and crew members, said he's OK with the network's positioning of the series, but emphasized that its amusements are just "one piece of a larger geometric shape."

His overriding objective

with "The Orville" is to revisit the "forward-thinking, aspirational, optimistic place in science-fiction that (the original) 'Star Trek' used to occupy ... It can't all be 'The Hunger Games.' It can't all be the nightmare scenario. I think there's some space for the aspirational blueprint of what we could do if we get our sh*t together. That's something that's been missing for me for a while."

It's not all sunshine and lollipops, though. Episode 3 is built rather too earnestly around a gender mutilation storyline involving a newly delivered baby by Lt. Commander Bortus (Peter Macon), a male Ed Bark alien who first hatches an egg.

Episode 2 is somewhat more comedic, with Mercer and his ex-wife turned new First Officer Kelly Grayson (Adrianne Palicki from "Friday Night Lights") suddenly disappearing after being taken captive by a band of miniature aliens.

Their eventual freedom is obtained via a trade whose revelation supplies a closing gag.

MacFarlane said the hour-long format requires that the story line come first. "It can't just be gag, gag, gag, gag. There has to

FOX

Seth MacFarlane from "The Orville." be some reality to where the comedy comes from ...

There really isn't anything that exists in the 'Spaceballs' or 'Family Guy' realm. We allow ourselves room for levity in ways that a traditional hour-long Sci-Fi show doesn't. So we're trying to break some new ground here."

They also risk breaking the bank if all of this doesn't work out. On the day before the panel session, TV critics were taken on a tour of "The Orville" set. Built on the 20th Century Fox studio lot, it's an imposing, two-story structure replete with gadgets, a panoramic view from The Bridge and a substantial winding staircase to the captain's command center.

An in-house costume designer, who only wears his own outfits once, boasted that an array of brand new alien wardrobes are used for each episode, and that his rare custom fabric is imported in ream upon ream from China. Episodes are close-ended rather than serialized in structure, which in most cases calls for a new alien race each week. Fox so far has ordered 13 hours.

MacFarlane, who previously produced a multi-episode "Cosmos" reboot for Fox, said that series helped him to discover how to "do really high-end, really beautiful visual work on a TV budget." Not that any of this is cheap.

Scott Grimes, cast as

ship helmsman Gordon Malloy, said "it's really amazing the money that they spent to allow us to experience something that's right there in front of us.

You stand at a certain point (on The Bridge) and it looks like you're in space. I've experienced a little bit of motion sickness at times just watching when we go to quantum speed."

Penny Johnson Jerald, cast as the ship's doctor, Claire Finn, said her first visit to The Bridge "was spiritual for me. I've been on 'Deep Space Nine' and I never had that experience.

This was so vast. Looking out into space, I realized, 'Oh my gosh, we can go anywhere.' And that's why

we DO go anywhere. We can be funny one week and we can be a little more pensive the next and then we can be adventurous the next week."

After the formal session, MacFarlane acknowledged that the show's title was "not necessarily the most beloved at the network. But at the same time, everybody sort of recognized the oddness of it.

It's not called 'Above and Beyond' or something that grandiose."

Titling "The Orville" was "an oddly snap decision" for him while he read David McCullough's biography of the Wright Brothers, MacFarlane said. "Right at the beginning there was the implication that Wilbur was doing most of the work. So I thought maybe we should be 'The Orville.'"

With this series, though, MacFarlane will not have the luxury of under-achieving. Fox's considerable investment in the show may be enough to make a few heads roll if it crash-lands as a contemporary flop in league with NBC's costly, long-ago "Supertrain." But for now, it's all systems go for this fall's most uniquely ambitious blast-off.

TRAVEL

wald.world@yahoo.com I had heard good reports about the Tenement Museum, a Smithsonian affiliate museum in the lower east side of New York City. I decided it was time to visit. That’s not so easy to do. You must visit the museum in a tour for reasons that become obvious once you go. The spaces are very tight and fragile. Each tour group is only about 14 people. Arriving around 10:30 a.m., the first available tour wasn’t until 2 p.m., and this was during a slow day in the middle of the week. You can book online and, perhaps, have a better experience. I took the first available one — Sweatshop Workers — but there are others. Each is led by an “educator.” All of the tours are expensive, but some discounts are available for seniors and students.

Don’t miss this place if you are in New York City!

Timeline at the Tenement Museum.

Americans, we are all immigrants. The Tenement Museum concentrates on the great wave of immigration around 1910 from Europe. I knew that many of them lived in tenements on the lower east side of New York City. I had no idea what that life was actually

like until I took the museum tour. Unfortunately, the Tenement does not allow any photography — even more reason to see it.

Today, gentrification has taken over the lower east side of New York; apartments cost more than $1 million. Down the street

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK

by Stella Wilder

The coming week is likely to see two factions facing off in a contest of wills — a contest born of the conflict between two basic ideologies: a desire for change, and a desire to see the status quo maintained. There is nothing new in this; indeed, this very battle has been waged endlessly through the ages! But this week, the weapons wielded may be different, and each faction must face the fact that in the future it may be self-destructive to continue the war at all. This is a good week, then, to focus on compromise as a possibility, to see if leaders can meet in the middle to determine a path beneficial to all — or most. Those whose worldviews are habitually self-centered are likely to find that their time is coming to an end, and that efforts to put the needs of the many ahead of the needs of the few are likely to have the advantage.

Those who are likely to be most satisfied are those who have seen this coming, and who have eschewed any attempts to combat opposing views in favor of tolerance and acceptance. Indeed, those who see similarities between people rather than differences can begin to enjoy the remarkable success that has been so long in coming.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You don't want to skip the preliminaries, trivial though they may seem. It is just that kind of discipline that can win the day again and again. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – Your best-laid plans are likely to go

awry as you realize you didn't take certain circumstances into account.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) Changes in the lives of others needn't affect you directly – unless you want them to. In that case, much is likely to happen. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – You know things are not at all as they should be, yet you are uncertain as to how to make necessary changes. Follow another's lead for a while.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You'll be learning more than one lesson at a time, and each will inform the other. Take a look at what someone else is doing.

(Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – You mustn't think that what you are dealing with is permanent or unchanging.

Indeed, you can alter much to suit your current needs and desires.

Give it a try!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You'll welcome almost any developments as long as they have you moving in a new direction. Even slow progress will do! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – You're eager to see what someone else has to offer before you accept any proposal that comes your way. Don't overlook what might be best for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You'll receive news that will leave you reeling, but you can recover quickly if you keep in mind just what it is you're trying to

accomplish. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – You'll be dealing in both reality and fantasy — perhaps even at the same time! A friend or partner will provide the necessary perspective.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) Even though you do not have much faith in someone else's ability to lead, you can do much that benefits the team. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – Your decisions will affect others in a way that they are not at all accustomed to. You must be willing to help them navigate some unfamiliar territory.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You don't want to wait until the last minute to unveil something you've been working on for quite some time. Avoid any real delays.

(March 6-March 20) – You may have to come up with a solution to a pressing problem that puts you in a vulnerable position. Is there any alternative?

ARIES (March 21-April 4) You'll want to finish what you are doing as quickly as possible so that you can focus on something that you've long waited to try. (April 5-April 19) – You're eager to see what you can get going with a new friend or partner. He or she has many ideas to share — and you'll be eager to explore most if not all of them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) It's time for you to get moving.

from the museum, the old Essex Street Market — once a place for pushcart vendors — is being re-imagined as an upscale shopping center while retaining some nods to its humble past, including a timeline on the wall that explains the changes in the neighborhood. The Tenement Museum is a step back in time inside an abandoned tenement building cleaned up a bit with reinforced stairways. You learn that building codes made residential use too expensive and landlords were satisfied with increased street-level retail rent.

Abandoned upper levels were for retail storage and rats.

The apartments that today are so expensive once housed six to seven people in a room the size of my bathroom. They were “walk ups,” without electricity or running water.

LOCAL MILESTONE

At 105, he is a Tower of a man

By Chelsi Smith

csmith@thepointgroup.com Turning 105 is a milestone not many people get to experience. But for one resident at the Edgemere Community at 8523 Thackery St. near Preston Hollow, that day is now a reality. John Tower celebrated his 105th birthday on Monday, Aug. 21.

A celebration was held at the Portabella Dining Room at Edgemere honoring Tower.

Family members and fellow residents were on hand to share the occasion with cake, punch and the singing of “Happy Birthday.”

The WWII veteran grew up in Weymouth, Mass. before moving to University Park. He married his wife Grace in 1941 and together they had four children. Tower was an engineer and worked for the U.S. Department of Energy before retiring.

Mistakes on the first date

By Donna Arp Weitzman the past when donnajarp@gmail.com

Okay, Cinderellas and Prince Charmings, you are re-entering the game — the dating game, that is.

Yes, I agree; jumping back into that world can be invigorating. With that excitement, however, also comes anxiety and anticipation. Anxiety for what they might think of you, and anticipation of meeting someone new. The excitement may even have a negative impact, as you suddenly become more concerned with your own flaws and blind to the flaws of your new friend/date.

You may even overlook the obvious.

Admit it. Your heart's aflutter. You talk yourself down, then back up, and back down again, all around and into a frenzy.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Tips to save you time and money

By StatePoint Media From shopping for school supplies to lunch meal prep, getting ready for the first day of school can be overwhelming. To help relieve some of the stress, the discount experts at Dollar General are offering a few money and time-saving tips.

Start with the supply list. When deciding what school supplies to purchase for the new school year, start with the list provided by the student’s teacher. Begin attacking the list by determining what is reusable from the last school year. Some states offer tax-free incentive weekends or periods, so check before purchasing the remaining supplies, for additional

back-to-school savings.

New year, new style.

Purchasing new clothes can be an additional back-toschool expense that doesn’t have to break the bank. Just like some school supplies, many clothes from the last school year can be reused.

Consider donating gently used clothes to a local charity and purchasing new ones, by shopping out-of-season to take full advantage of clearance sales.

Lunch prep made easy.

Preparing lunch and snacks for students can be time consuming. Instead, spend more time with family by setting aside one day each week to prepare meals for the week ahead. For quick and easy lunchtime recipes, check out

free online resources like Dollar General Easy Meals.

Discounts and deals.

For additional savings on back-to-school items and clothes, discover if your favorite stores offer digital coupons and in-store discounts.

For example, Dollar General Digital Coupons allow customers to save both in-stores and online. You can download Dollar General Digital Coupons and upload coupons through the online account or the Dollar General coupon app.

Back-to-school shopping doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With a few easy strategies, families are sure to have a smooth transition at the start of the new school year.

FASHION SENSE

Veronica Beard brings cool to Highland Park

By Leah Frazier leahfrazier.com

There are only a few words best associated with the Veronica Beard brand and one of those words is: effortless. From ready-to-wear staples to signature selections, the eponymous sportswear label recently opened in Highland Park Village and it was totally worth the hype.

Nestled on the north end between Theory and Alexander McQueen, Highland Park’s newest destination brings a breath of fresh air to the Dallas shopping scene.

Think East Coast chic gone western as Veronica Beard eases in a unique aesthetic, atmosphere and appeal to the prototypical Highland Park experience. Comfort and cozy greet you upon arrival as an open-space feel, bright colors and multi-patterned décor bids you welcome. Recognized for superior tailoring and quality, the Veronica Beard brand is one of necessity for the Dallas woman — the woman who values her appearance, duality of pieces and her time.

Be sure to check out these top picks upon your trek to the new location and, proudly, our latest Dallas discovery.

The signature dickey jacket. Originally launched in 2010, the label’s dickey jacket hails as the brand’s signature style. Proudly proclaimed as part of the Veronica Beard “uniform,” this multifunctional jacket ranges in classic to schoolboy fits — complete with an interior zipper allowing for several dickey changes from professional to urban cool, all in a snap.

Darling in denim. Recently sported by Dallas blogger Courtney Kerr, the tuxedo stripe “Carolyn” jeans may be the most flattering jeans on the market. Coined as a “baby boot,” these high-waisted button-up jeans boast a “skinny

“Ruffles and Buttons and Ruching, Oh My!” Shop worry-free, as the Veronica Beard team has added in accents to highlight your best. Ruffles and buttons come out to play often, along with meticulous ruching aimed to draw hemlines from high to low — all the while crafting out precision for a flattering silhouette.

DIY fedoras. Coming soon to the Highland Park store, Veronica Beard dishes that it will introduce DIY fedoras, so customers can decoratively express their own style by adding adornments to the brim. From multi-colored feathers to bandanas to floral ties, put your own spin to the brim for an experience that is as memorable as it is chic.

Young for the opportunities they provided to her.

In 2005, T3’s late founder and artistic director Jac Alder thought Carr’s “All About Bette” script was wonderful.

He found Shaw for the one-woman play and the show got rave reviews in 2006 and 2007 at T3. Theme park tycoon Angus Wynne suggested to Alder that he share the script with his associate, Michael Jenkins, who saw it both years.

Jenkins’ Starlight Entertainment and Ken Orman’s Dovetayle Productions along with Giant Entertainment produced “All About Bette” in June at the historic Margo Jones Theater at Fair Park.

Jenkins said, “I have had the pleasure of knowing Camilla for some time. She is a brilliant writer and researches everything tirelessly. She is creative and a master at storytelling. She and I are working on several projects because of the success of ‘All About Bette.’”

“Camilla’s script is like a bio-dramedy and Hollywood history. But the most surprising thing to me is its tenderness and compassion. And there is not a more qualified actor than Morgana to translate that for us. It’s a beautiful piece of artistry,” said Ken Orman, “All About Bette” co-producer.

As a budding actress, Carr sought fame and fortune in LA in 1976. She was whisked up for the soap, “Another World” after appearing in Dallas-made “Logan’s Run.” She also filmed three horror films in Dallas, the third of which was produced by Martin Jurow, known for “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and “Terms of Endearment.” She appeared in a number of television series including “Falcon Crest,” “Designing Women” and in the “Funny Women in Television” special.

With an extensive history of credits on stage, in film and television, Carr has also been recognized as a prolific writer.

CAMILLA CARR

Jac Alder, Norma Young and Camilla Carr do the behind-thescenes business at Theatre Three in the 1960s.

She is the recipient of three Dramalogue Awards for acting and producing. She has garnered awards including the Oscar Wilde and Robby Awards, along with a Proclamation for the City of Los Angeles (LA) for Producing Outstanding Theatre.

While artistic associate of the LA Theatre Center, Carr created the role of Marxian in the world premiere of “Sisters of the Winter Madrigal,” written by Pulitzer Prize recipient and SMU graduate Beth Henley. She also appeared in “Night of the Iguana” and “The Inspector General” on that same stage.

“All About Bette” continues Aug. 25 and 26 at 8 p.m. at the Stone Cottage on the grounds of the Addison Conference and Theatre Center 15650 Addison Rd.
