Janelle Lutz will be the featured entertainer at Second Thought Theatre’s (STT) fifth annual State of Mind. She will perform a cabaret of vocals from musical theater, Disney and a variety of wellknown tunes. The evening gives STT an opportunity to thank its generous and dedicated supporters before kicking off the new season of compelling theater. It offers a state-ofthe-union type of progress report and announces new initiatives and plans. It is STT’s enjoyable, entertaining evening that celebrates its sponsors and patrons each year. STT invites those who enjoy its work and wish to see more of it produced. According to Alex Organ, STT artistic director, “Next year’s plays are largely personal stories of loss, trauma and resilience
in the face of unimaginable circumstances. STT continues to seek out stories that detail how we as humans navigate a rapidly changing world.” Lutz is a respected talent in Dallas’ theater community. She’s been seen at venues including Brick Road, Firehouse and WaterTower Theatres to name a few. At Uptown Players, she’s accomplished the formidable task of recreating Judy Garland in performances that were spot-on in “End of the Rainbow” and “The Boy from Oz.” “We are thrilled to have Lutz, a Dallas musical theater favorite, joining us for the festivities,” added co-chair Jim Nugent. “Janelle is a phenomenally talented performer.

designed to enhance security and help protect against identity theft. Consumer advocates, including AARP, welcome the development but, ironically, the card replacement program has opened these new opportunities for con artists like scammers posing as Medicare representatives and contact beneficiaries to demand immediate payment via credit card of a processing fee for the new card when no such fee exists. Scammers falsely say that Medicare needs to “verify” a recipient’s Social Security number or other personal information before issuing the card.

MULL IT OVER
World Series can create endless memories By David Mullen david@katytrailweekly.com It is World Series time, as the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers meet for the first time since 1916. Well, sort of. The Dodgers were actually called the Robins and were located in Brooklyn. The Red Sox had a young pitcher named George Herman “Babe” Ruth, later to be traded to the New York Yankees. The Dodgers return to the World Series for the second consecutive year. The Red Sox were a powerhouse team in 2018. Both teams play in iconic ballparks. But will their matchup make for one of the best World Series ever? Let’s take a moment and look at the top World Series of all-time. The Detroit Tigers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3 in 1968. Bob Gibson started nine World Series games in his career with the Cardinals. He completed eight of them, which is unheard of today. He set a major league record with a 1.12 ERA in 1968. As impressive, Tigers pitcher Denny McLain won 31 games, the last pitcher to win 30-plus games in one season. This series set up to be epic, and delivered. Gibson won games one and four, allowing just one run total. The Cardinals led the series 3-1 before the Tigers turned ferocious. Mickey Lolich outdueled Gibson in game seven, Jim Northrup became an unlikely hero with a late game triple, and Detroit became just the third team in World Series history to overcome a 3-1 series deficit to win. The New York Yankees beat the Brooklyn Dodgers 4-3 in 1956. New York teams dominated the World Series in the 1950s. In 1956, it was the fifth time that New York teams faced each other in six years. Of course, there were no teams in the Mountain or Pacific Time zones. The Dodgers won the first two games, then the Yankees won the next two. Game five may be the most famous World Series game in history. Right-hander Don Larsen was on the mound for the Yankees, facing the strong Dodgers lineup that featured Gil Hodges, Duke Snider, Roy Campanella and Carl Furillo. Larsen did the unthinkable by pitching the first and only perfect game in World Series history. The Yankees won in seven games, but it is the photograph of Larsen with catcher Yogi Berra in his arms after completing the perfecto that will live on forever in the memory of baseball fans. The Pittsburgh Pirates beat New York Yankees 4-3 in 1960. The Bucs were not given a chance of beating the Yankees, especially a team that had Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Whitey Ford and Berra. Despite a series full of Yankees blowouts, it was light-hitting Pittsburgh second baseman
Bill Mazeroski who would have the final say. The Pirates took a 9-7 lead with five runs in the eighth inning. The Yankees tied it in the ninth, and then Mazeroski lead off the bottom of the ninth inning with a long shot over the left field wall at Forbes Field. It was the first time a walk-off home run ended a World Series. The Cincinnati Reds beat Boston Red Sox 4-3 in 1975. While the series went seven games, it is game six that everyone remembers. In the top of the 12th inning, Boston catcher Carlton Fisk launched a long fly to left that snuck past the foul pole for a game-winning and series-tying home run. Running down the first base line, Fisk waved his arms to will the ball fair. The Red Sox actually had a 3-0 lead in game seven, only to lose to the Big Red Machine. The Oakland Athletics beat the Cincinnati Reds in 1972. Despite being without slugger Reggie Jackson due to injury and the Reds having the home field advantage, the A’s won in seven games. Gene Tenace became an unlikely hero with four home runs. Jim “Catfish” Hunter, Vida Blue, Ken Holtzman and Rollie Fingers outpitched the Reds, as six of the seven games were decided by one run. The Minnesota Twins beat Atlanta Braves 4-3 in 1991. The Twins Kirby Puckett hit an 11th inning, game six home run to send the series to a seventh game. Then pitcher Jack Morris pitched 10 shutout innings in the finale as the Twins won 1-0 on a Gene Larkin single. The St. Louis Cardinals beat Texas Rangers 4-3 in 2011. Ouch. The Rangers had it won in game six until David Freese hit a catchable ball to right fielder Nelson Cruz. He didn’t catch it. Freese would later win the game with an 11th inning home run. The Rangers have never been the same since. Chicago Cubs beat Cleveland Indians 4-3 in 2016. Imagine a seven game series where both teams scored the same amount of runs. And the Cubs ended a 108 year World Championship drought with a nail-biting 8-7 win in the 10th inning of game seven. This year’s World Series may not become part of baseball lore, but there are plenty others from the past to dwell on.

Your guide to costume supremacy
By Ryann Gordon ryannbgordon@yahoo.com It’s that one time of the year when you can dress up as something completely out-there and pretend to be someone you’re not. Costumes range from cute to scary, classic, revealing, cultural and sometimes even all of the above; they can be completely unrelated to anything in your life or they can subtly reflect your inner spirit. Either way, take advantage of this day this year and go all out … just make sure you do it right. The best costumes always seem to have some sort of cultural relevance, whether it is a celebrity, character or idea that just recently came out or a fullon throwback. Going back in time a bit, throwback costumes seem to always spark attention, because you will very rarely find someone who isn’t familiar with the costume you’re sporting. Ideas for good throwback costumes include staples like Marilyn Monroe, famous characters Ryann like Cheech and Chong, and even generational styles from decades like the ‘20s, ‘50s, ‘70s — one good ‘90s costume being the girls from Clueless. One of the simplest ways
to go all out on Halloween without actually having to put that much effort in is by channeling one of the traditional costume favorites and making it your own. Costumes that seem to arise in new forms every year include animals of all sorts, mimes, Waldo, sports players and so many more. Have a little fun and transform into a wicked witch or dead girl/guy for the night; or channel some newer costume ideas that have recently become Halloween favorites, like Day of the Dead candy skeletons, zombies, geishas and aliens. While picking out a costume idea can be one of the hardest parts, how you assemble your look is the most crucial. Many people opt for Halloween store costumes from Party City or Halloween Express; however, the most convincing looks are those that were created from scratch. Some costumes require a certain amount of purchased materials, tokens specific for your character. Whether it’s a Gryffindor scarf, Gordon a blue dress to pull off your Khaleesi look, face paint for skeleton or clown costumes, hair dye, fish net tights, go-go boots, etc., make sure you lock on to the most important
outfit materials and get to searching. Although some of these materials can most easily be purchased from costume stores, you can find many of the same things at Walmart, Target or on Amazon for half the price. And as far as the clothes go, I don’t advise anyone to splurge too much on a Halloween costume they’re going to wear probably just this once. First find as much as you can for your costume in your own closet, then browse through thrift stores around town for the attire you seek and figure out some way to alter it into exactly what you want. Design a custom West Coast crop top for your Miley Cyrus costume; create your own striped Beetlejuice tux with tape; or print off your own Minions shirt and pair with some of dad’s suspenders. Think of how you can improvise with clothes and especially accessories, which can be just as crucial as the outfit. You can paint your own red, retro stunner shades, create a bow and arrow at home for your Katniss or elf costume, and fashion a flower crown easily with supplies from Hobby Lobby. So before you break the bank on Halloween this year, think outside the box and assemble a costume that is well-known but unique in its own way, and most certainly, spookily deceiving.

you to this position? What were some prior jobs you held? After managing a homeless youth dropin center and adult emergency shelter in Portland, Ore., I returned to my hometown of Dallas. I spent a few years consulting with nonprofits on their financial and insurance needs before taking this role at ASC over three years ago.
Q Why are you passionate about

helping this charity? Do you have a personal story to relate? As a Dallas native, I first started serving at ASC as a 10-year-old with my church. That exposure eventually led to inviting two homeless folks to move in with me while at Baylor University. The truth is that our circumstances are not always in our control, and everyone should have access to their basic needs despite the limitations of their resources.

DOTTY’S TRUE TEXAS CUISINE
RECIPE OF THE WEEK
Feel the beat at hotel’s Asian diner By Dotty Griffith dotty.griffith@yahoo.com The menu at r&b (r for “ramen” and b for “bao”) is a culinary learning experience at the fast-casual version Dotty Griffith of Asian cuisine in the newly reborn Statler Hotel downtown. Maybe we should call it “Crazy Rich Asian Food.” Rich as in lots of flavor, not expensive. Let’s start with ramen, Japanese noodles, and bao, Chinese steamed buns. Both are made of doughs that start with white flour. For those of you stereotyping, note: there’s no rice. Add in American favorites like bacon and eggs, also cheeseburgers. r&b Executive Chef Angela Hernandez explains, “I tried to meld the familiar with the unfamiliar.” She got it right. Filling bao with pastrami and sauerkraut, hot fried chicken or edamame falafel with jalapeño hummus makes for delightful jumbles of cuisines and flavors. The Cheesebao-ger, a ground beef patty with cheese, pickles and onion jam, makes for a lovely little slider. Each r&b bao is “an airy four-bite Chinese taco,” Hernandez said. The learning curve for the ramen dishes is a little steeper. Bacon, Egg and Cheese Mazeman is a bowl of ramen noodles with pork belly, soft egg, cheese and a soy sauce-maple syrup glaze on the ramen. Sort of eggs, bacon and pancakes,
but not really. The dish is more savory than sweet. And the blend is a compelling balance of salty, sweet and rich egg yolk to hold it all together. A garnish of scallions adds some green zip. r&b even does tater tots “Okonomiyaki-style.” That translates to tater tots garnished with the Japanese brand Kewpie mayonnaise, the Japanese version of Worcestershire sauce known by the brand name Bull-Dog, pickled ginger and bonito flakes. Like crispy tissue paper, bonito flakes are dried, smoked tuna that impart a slightly fishy taste to the dish. Be not afraid. Bonito is more hint than hit of fish. The combination is compelling. Smacked Cucumber is a spot-on side for virtually any of the dishes. Black vinegar and chili oil marinated pieces of cucumber give just the right hot, acid palate scrub. Other ramen dishes include Chicken Tskune with chicken meatballs, Tantanmen with pork ragu, and a chilled ramen dish, Tomato Mazeman. All the dishes are of the “small plates” genre making it particularly great for late night snacking, Hernandez said. The restaurant stays open 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Monday-Saturday hours are lunch (11 a.m. to 4 p.m.). Beverages, including lemonade, are soft. Hernandez’s masterful meld of familiar with exotic draws on the simplicity of a modern Japanese ramen and bao house blended with American tastes. With limited seating and a standing counter located on the ground floor of The Statler Hotel, this is drop in, go through the line to order, fill up and go kind of place, a brickand-mortar food truck sans wheels. Since r&b can’t roll your way, satisfy your curiosity and challenge your preconceived notions of Asian-American cuisine with a trip downtown.

Hammer and Nails
Max out the minimalism By Stephan Sardone stephan@sardoneconstruction.com
By Candy Evans candace@candysdirt.com Y’all know how much we love a good transformation at CandysDirt. com. We thought this Southern Colonial estate at 9346 Sunnybrook Candy Evans Lane was captivating when we wrote about it back in 2014. The house was built in 1987 and has long been considered a showpiece, but with the most recent update, it’s become a showstopper. Was there a bit of wizardry involved? You bet there was! The talented owner has an impeccable eye for design and had very distinct ideas of how to bring this Southern Colonial up to the sophistication level of 2018. She selected More Design + Build to bring her vision to life and together the spell they’ve put on this home has enchanted us. It’s harder and harder to find an estate like this in Dallas. Located in Old Preston Hollow with a generous setback on its 1.12 acres of lush, romantic landscaping, you feel as if you’ll see a vision of Scarlett O’Hara floating through the grounds. As we approach Halloween, this would make a perfect place for a spooktacular event! Just imagine draping cobwebs from those grand front entry gates, but I digress. What I love most about this 8,977-squarefoot Southern Colonial is that the owners over the years have valued the property and consistently made updates to keep the house relevant. This most recent one was no trick and all treat. “It’s the perfect expression of sophistication,
style and warmth,” said Allie Beth Allman listing agent Terri Cox. “The transitions from room to room are just perfect. It has personality and all the sleekness everyone is craving, but with all the warmth Allie Beth Allman that is so embracing, and it’s very well-thought-out.” This house, located at 9346 Sunnybrook Lane, is listed at It’s a large home, but $5.75 million. in general, the Southern Colonial style lends itself to intimacy, so even in generously proportioned rooms you never feel overwhelmed. The renovations did a lot to help with that feeling of warmth starting with the addition of hardwood floors and an updated staircase railing in the entry. The home’s eight fireplaces were redesigned, one is double facing leading from the great room to the bar. You can see another very effective update in the formal living room with the addition of floating shelves. Simple, strategic updates create a profound impact. The master suite in this Southern Colonial is downstairs with a huge master bathroom that Candy mentioned in her 2014 post can hold three massage tables! There are four more bedrooms, four bathrooms and three powder baths, along with a study, an enormous upstairs living space and guest quarters above the four-car garage. All of this interior beauty is complemented by classic Southern Colonial porches and balconies that overlook the very private manicured grounds, pool and spa. “It’s timeless and tasteful,” Cox said. “It’s like a perfectly played piece of music.” All of this Southern Colonial greatness can be yours for only $5.75 million, and we’ll be happy to help you decorate for the Halloween party! The formal living room has a fresh new 2018 face. The kitchen walls were wrapped in subway tile, right up to the ceiling, which creates a nice textural effect and is a lot more practical than sheetrock. French doors lead into the family room and out to the backyard. The sheer number of doors leading to the outdoors is astonishing, and of course, allows beautiful light to filter throughout the home all day.

Minimalism is being taken to the maximum this year in home remodeling. More people are staying in their homes, retooling them for greater efficiency and to meet future needs. Stephan Sardone Technology is making smart kitchens and smart indoor and outdoor lighting the norm. Your phone has become the new remote control. You can control lighting, heating and air conditioning units, start the cooking process or even brew coffee with the touch of an app. As days become even more hectic, people are looking for ways to simplify. Kitchens are becoming sleeker. Keeping appliances and trash cans out of view creates more room and a clean, fresh look. Open shelving is a current theme. So is accommodating for pets. Feeding stations, storage areas and even beds are being simplified and hidden from view. It is considered maximizing usable square footage. And taking advantage of as much natural light as possible could be as simple as replacing windows in a breakfast nook or above a sink. Another popular trend is the addition of a passthrough window from the kitchen to a living area or den. They add convenience and are relatively inexpensive to create. Color is a matter of preference. Some homeowners are gravitating toward an industrial look with metal splash walls, simple drawer and door hardware and concrete floors. Others prefer exposed wood. It can be painted or left natural. But make sure that it is treated to handle water, especially in the kitchen and bathroom. The trend for white walls remains, but often a wall is being accented with a bold color or pattern. Bathrooms are becoming sleeker and more efficient. Replacing commodes, faucets and showerheads add efficiencies and can lower utility costs. Gold and brass fixtures are trendy again. So are interior metallic finishes, which are great for fireplaces, living areas, kitchens and bathrooms. And if you really want to go with an industrial flavor, consider exposing bricks or pipes. This can work in any room of the house. But as a suggestion, think of one theme. Consistency is a key, especially in smaller homes. Home additions or complete revamping of rooms is popular. More attention is being given to master suites. After all, a third of your day is spent in the bedroom. Some homeowners are considering second story additions. This should be done by a licensed construction professional, and may require a neighborhood or city permit. But new second story space can become a master suite or home office. People are adding mudrooms to their homes, especially when children are involved. This area of the house is hidden from view, and can be the room where wet or dirty items are kept. It should also double as a laundry room. These are relatively easy conversions, but you may need to consult a licensed electrician or plumber. If your home has a basement, there are multiple ways to convert it into usable living space. This could be an entertainment area or a spare bedroom. Make sure that the basement is free of leaks and mildew. No matter which of these popular trends you embrace, be sure that you can live with the results for years to come. When done correctly, they will add value to your home and quality to your lifestyle. Sardone Design-Build-Remodel is locally owned and operated.

The coming week is likely to present a number of rich opportunities for those who are willing to set their fears aside and charge forward with confidence. Success will come in all forms this week, and anyone who decides ahead of time what success “should” look like is certainly imposing unnecessary limitations on himself or herself. Those working with teammates, especially those who are in charge, must keep the well-being and desires of the entire team squarely in mind this week. Not all hazards can be avoided at this time; all must be aware that some open doors may close prematurely, and others may present dangers unseen until one passes through. There are those who simply cannot control their reactions to certain developments this week, and they must be assisted through the difficult moments — especially where the irrational is concerned. There is an opportunity to make new friends this week: Those who help each other in times of need are likely to find that these connections can actually last a lifetime. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) Private issues may become public this week as you do what needs to be done without a thought for yourself or the dangers you might encounter. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) — Someone may approach you early in the week with a proposition that seems too good to be true. Don’t say “no”
immediately; explore all options. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You must spend time this week getting to know yourself in a new way — if only so you can get to know another well when the time comes. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) — Your immediate environment will affect your productivity this week; be aware of the new rhythms that seem to control pace and timing. Don’t back down! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) Carelessness can prove disastrous this week; do what you must in a way that ensures a complete and careful job, again and again. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) — You’ll recognize something this week that you haven’t in the past — and you’ll find yourself moving forward at an accelerated rate as a result. This is lucky! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) Not everyone will agree with the way you do certain things, but most will agree that it all needs to be done — and by you, alone. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) — You must acknowledge those who are standing behind you giving you the support you need. Don’t turn away from anyone who lends you a helping hand. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You may have trouble getting yourself out of a tricky situation — but you must do so if you’re going to say “yes” to a new opportunity. (March 6-March 20)
— Collaboration may not seem likely this week, but you’re overlooking one or two things that are far from obvious. You can, in fact, assemble a crack team. ARIES (March 21-April 4) You must address those tasks that are expected and required; you needn’t invest all you have in them, but they surely must get done. (April 5-April 19) — It’s a good week to shower a loved one with love and attention — especially if he or she is suffering from any kind of malaise. You make a difference! TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You’re likely to reach the halfway point on a journey of discovery. What you’ve learned can surely propel you forward with confidence. (May 6-May 20) — It’s time to reconnect with someone who has gone on without you for some time. He or she has one or two lessons to teach you, and you know it well. GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You’ll find yourself working for the common good throughout much of the week — and you’ll find that doing so benefits you directly, as well. (June 7-June 20) — You’ll experience something you’ll want to remember for quite some time. Be sure to keep some kind of record of what goes on — behind the scenes as well.

‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ is a homogenized biopic
By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood Freddie Mercury was, by all accounts, an extremely promiscuous, hardcore drinker with a penchant for cocaine. He also happened to be an outwardly lovely person with some deep inner demons due to several personal and public reasons. In short, Freddie was a complex person who chose, whether personally or due to society’s pressures, to live most of his life behind closed doors. That complexity is what makes “Bohemian Rhapsody” such a profound disappointment. This straight-forward biopic about the rise, fall and rebirth of rock band Queen airbrushes out almost all the warts to the unbelievable tune of a PG-13 rating. It is average at best and only Rami Malek’s truly devoted portrayal of Mercury stands out. The fault probably lies with director Bryan Singer, who was fired with six weeks left
of principal filming remaining due to on-set conf lict with Malek. Based on the lackadaisical, timid look of most of the film, Singer’s lack of vision could also have been a fireable offense. “Bohemian Rhapsody” begins in 1970 just after guitarist Brian May (Gwilym Lee) and drummer Roger Taylor (Ben Hardy) need to replace the lead singer/bass player of their band, Smile. An impromptu audition in a parking lot leads to the band bringing Freddie in and since he cannot play bass, they hire John Deacon (Joseph Mazzello) to fill that role. The movie only stops down for important landmarks in time with some more effective than others. Virtually all of the scenes with Lucy Boynton as Freddie’s one-time wife and lifelong companion, Mary Austin, are fantastic due to her performance and on-screen chemistry with Malek. These moments are sadly the only times when the movie truly shows Freddie’s conf lict and

One of the best moments in the movie is the band’s recording of the song, “Bohemian Rhapsody.” It’s fun, well edited and thrilling to watch the band realize they are creating something truly special. Sadly, that sequence is bookended by two of the most irritating, goofy scenes of the movie due to Mike Myers’ role as an EMI
executive. This is brutally bad stunt casting, and he’s so over the top that the only thing missing is Myers shouting “if it’s not Scottish, it’s crap.” The Anthony McCarten screenplay does cover Freddie’s sexual exploits and drug abuse. The reasons for Mercury’s contraction of AIDS are tastefully implied, but in a way that avoids preachiness or grossly stepping on his grave. The rest of the script is borderline boilerplate-type stuff, but this section of Mercury’s life is covered as respectfully as it possibly could. Naturally, Queen’s music provides all the highlights and the live show recreations are fantastic. The actors all look like natural musicians and even Malek’s lip syncing (with
vocals provided by Malek, singer Marc Martel, and Mercury himself) is perfect. There is a rush of excitement watching May conduct the simple stomping and clapping of “We Will Rock You,” even if it feels like we just stopped by for a moment to watch it happen. The final 20 minutes of “Bohemian Rhapsody” are reason enough to see the movie. This shot for shot recreation of Queen’s 1985 Live Aid performance is truly an amazing cinematic achievement. Malek dominates the stage as Mercury, stomping and dancing as the crowd eats up every second. If only the creative team strutted as confidently as Malek, maybe then we would have a worthy epic for a truly larger than life band.
Uncle barky's bites
Dinklage comes up big in ‘My Dinner with Hervé’
By Ed Bark unclebarky@verizon.net First let’s get this out of the way — and quickly. Those who have accused HBO and Peter Dinklage of “whitewashing” the role of Hervé Villechaize are, at best, uninformed idiots. They’re under the assumption that the late co-star of “Fantasy Island” was Filipino. He wasn’t. Villechaize, a native of Paris, had an English-born mother and a French-born father. Perhaps he “looked” Filipino in the eyes of those who still wear blinders when presented with the actual facts. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of that going around these days. Dinklage, best known for his Emmy-winning portrayal of Tyrion Lannister in HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” turns out to be pretty terrific in “My Dinner with Hervé,” now available for your viewing pleasure. He’s joined by Jamie Dornan as journalist Danny Tate, a pseudonym for the film’s director and writer, Sacha Gervasi. For the record, Dinklage is a native of New Jersey, and not English, as some might perceive. Dornan is playing a Brit, but in fact is of Irish descent. Actors and their heritages for $100, Alex. Replete with f lashbacks, “Dinner with Hervé” otherwise is set in Los Angeles, circa 1993. Tate, who’s been clean and sober for 30 days after his latest bout with
the bottle, gets a redemptive chance to interview author/personality Gore Vidal under the proviso that his piece be a cover story hatchet job. But before that, his thoroughly unlikeable editor, played by Harriet Walker, orders him to also write a throwaway 500-word piece about Villechaize on the 20th anniversary of the James Bond film “The Man with the Golden Gun.” Villechaize first came to fame as the henchman Nick Nack opposite Roger Ed Bark Moore’s Bond before getting the star-making role of Tattoo on ABC’s “Fantasy Island.” Tate makes the mistake of interviewing Villechaize first — and taking too much time to do so. He’s thereby a bit late for his meeting with the thoroughly punctual Vidal, who walks out on him. Back at his hotel, a despondent Tate gets a middle of the night call from Villechaize, who isn’t nearly done talking. Unable to sleep, he agrees to be picked up in five minutes, with Villechaize arriving in a white limo and wearing a purple “Bionic Midget” T-shirt. He very publicly insisted on this derogatory term instead of dwarf. And yes, it’s going to be quite a ride for both of the film’s protagonists. Villechaize tells Tate his life story from birth to what turned out to be his apparently planned suicide after the reporter documented it all. It’s the saga of a kid shunned as a freak by his mother after
his doting father tried in vain to induce a growth spurt through various treatments. A painter of some acclaim in his early years, Villechaize eventually makes his way to New York City and learns English by watching old John Wayne westerns, “Gilligan’s Island,” etc. His big break comes, at least as depicted in the movie, after a knife-wielding Villechaize barges into the office of William Morris Agency heavyweight Marty Rothstein (David Strathairn) and makes quite a scene within the scene he’s acting out while the agent reaches for his desk drawer pistol. This rather suddenly leads to the Bond movie and little else for the next several years. Villechaize is living out of his car when Rothstein tells him he’s going to be playing Tattoo to Montalban’s (Andy
Garcia) Mr. Roarke on hitmaker Aaron Spelling’s (Wallace Langham) “Fantasy Island.” Those of a certain vintage remember how big “De plane! De plane!” became in the history of indelible TV taglines. Instantly rich, Villechaize fully indulges his appetites for food, booze and strip clubs while also coming to believe that “without me, there is no show.” Montalban, portrayed as alternately vain and somewhat sympathetic, draws a line by both cutting Villechaize’s lines and rebuffing his co-star’s demands for equal pay. “Perhaps there’s another little man,” he tells Spelling after both get on the same page regarding Villechaize’s “Fantasy Island” future. Instead the tallish Christopher Hewett was cast in the final year of the show before making a bigger
mark in the ABC sitcom “Mr. Belvedere.” “Dinner with Hervé” also has a solid supporting role for Mireille Enos as Villechaize’s good-hearted wardrobe assistant and eventual best friend after a marriage to starlet Camille Hagen (Ashleigh Brewer) quickly runs asunder. After all of those grimly unsmiling years on AMC’s “The Killing,” it’s good to see Enos finally brighten up while portraying the self less Kathy Self. Villechaize never rebounded from his “Fantasy Island” firing. He lived out the rest of his years in public denial of his self-destructive behavior. But “Dinner with Hervé” affords him closure while Tate also comes to the self-realization that his marriage is over and he’s entirely to blame for that. Their final scenes together are
affecting and earned, even if the film sometimes moves too fast in its re-telling of Villechaize’s past. Dinklage excels in a very difficult role to pull off while Dornan keeps pace as his reluctant Boswell. Their love story, so to speak, is both an entertaining romp and a cautionary tale about a rocket ride to fame and the abundant excesses and aff lictions that often are part and parcel. Villechaize did not die a happy man. But he also lived beyond his wildest dreams. “You tell them I regret nothing,” he softly/firmly tells Tate before they part ways. It’s a scene that sticks and resonates — and remains open to interpretation. Ed Bark, who runs the TV website unclebarky.com, is a past member of the national Peabody awards board.

their Uptown sketch, which featured their strengths of combining bright and playful colors with texture. “Colors and movement are a form of communication in the art world,” Bizzle said. “When choosing colors, they have to have some sort of relationship with each other so this collaboration with Mariel
was an opportunity to bring two completely different styles together and create art for everyone to enjoy.” “Art can enhance a community, create an identity, and even show a return on investment for property owners,” Pohlman stated. “Being able to create a public art piece in Uptown is a privilege and I hope it brings a new life and energy to a spot that wasn’t anything special before.” Uptown Dallas Inc. is also adding lighting to the underpasses to highlight the art at night and improve public safety. The Katy Trail, which crosses above the wall locations at Cedar Springs Road, Bowen Street, Hall Street, Blackburn Street and both Lemmon Avenues, are widely used and accessed at all hours. “Enhancing our district through projects like this is what makes living, working and playing in Uptown so special; it’s great for our community,” LeVeaux said. Bizzle is an abstract artist who continues to push her boundaries and inspire others with her bold choices of color, placement and line. Her paintings involve layering techniques using mixed media to invoke curiosity for the viewer. Her work can be found in various Dallas/Fort Worth locations and has been showcased in New York City. Pohlman is a Dallas-based artist, illustrator and typographist who creates custom works of all sizes for many corporate clients. Mainly known for her largescale custom murals, Mariel has worked with Sylvan Thirty, Lyft, Heineken, Walmart, Lime Bike and the Common Desk to name a few.

Small Czech town’s central plaza rivals Prague
MICHAEL WALD
The main plaza in Novy Jicin, Czech Republic.
By Michael Wald wald.world@yahoo.com You don’t have to visit Prague to see a typical Eastern European central square. On a recent trip to Novy Jicin in the part of Northeastern Czech Republic better known as Moravia, I found a small village with a long history and beautiful architecture that rivals Prague. Its central plaza, Masaryk Square, is unique in that three sides have arch-covered walkways on the ground level with retail, known as arcades, a very uncommon feature not found elsewhere in Eastern Europe. Typical design is for the arcade to be on only one side of a
plaza. Novy Jicin is known as the “town of hats” because its residents have been engaged in making hats for centuries, and today the hat company here exports hats all over the world, including traditional Jewish head coverings for export to Israel. A visit here is great if you are looking for a weekend getaway from the bigger cities nearby — Ostrava, Czech Republic; Krakov, Poland; or Bratislava, Slovakia, all great destinations as well. History here dates back to the first mention of the town in 1313 when the local lord granted it the right to collect a toll for entry into the walls that surrounded the
city, as they do in many European cities. In the late 18th century a major road was built through the town, which resulted in the development of industry there. Jewish merchants came to the area and began textile factories that eventually migrated into hat factories. The central square of the town won a major tourist prize in 2015 as “the most beautiful square in the Czech Republic,” and tourism to see it has been increasing ever since. The center of the square is dominated by a statute of dancing farmers, which has irritated locals to no end as the farmers are dressed in traditional German attire. Another

sculpture on the square causes equal angst with locals as its religious symbolism is said to be diminished by larger than life size bronze apples that have been placed around it seemingly for a place for people to sit. In any event, the square deserves the accolades it has received and is reason enough to take a trip off the beaten path to visit this little village. But if architecture and controversial sculptures don’t entice you to visit, the town’s synagogue from 1908 might. Today, it is a museum, the only remaining sign that Jews once lived in this area. They were mainly exterminated by the Nazis. The only part of their

storytelling. According to Organ, “Janelle is a singular talent in our community. Her musical ability is staggering, but she couples those skills with legit acting chops, making her a go-to for deeply complex, flawed characters on local stages. Her unique ability to illuminate a character's inner-life through musical interpretation makes her invaluable to the community.” “Each year, with the generous support of our patrons and subscribers, State of Mind raises a significant portion of the funds necessary to create the innovative and stimulating theater with which STT has become synonymous, and we are so grateful for the growth this has afforded us,” said Wade Owens, STT’s State of Mind 2018 event co-chair. State of Mind will begin with cocktails and festive fare at 7 p.m., followed by Lutz, accompanied by accomplished pianist Adam C. Wright. Rob McCollum will emcee and Dallas-based director and choreographer Joel Ferrell, whose STT’s directorial credits include “The Necessities,” “Othello” and “Gruesome Playground Injuries,” will be the featured guest. The event will also include a Fund the Mission auction, the proceeds of which will provide financial support for STT’s 2019 season. Cocktails and mingling with STT artists and
culture surviving is the hat industry, today manufactured on the outskirts of town. On the main square, a museum to the hat industry displays an extensive sampling of the hats made here. You can try on hats, watch a movie about the hat-making process, and even make a miniature hat of your own in the museum’s mini-factory. Seemingly out of place, the museum also has a floor dedicated to General G.E. Laudon, a notable Australian military commander, who fought in the Seven Years’ War and died here in 1790. Since he was a contemporary of the American revolutionaries, many of the military weaponry and supporters will finish the evening. According to Organ, STT recently released the details of its 2019 season, which includes four area premieres and the third world premiere in as many years by local playwright Blake Hackler. “2018 was a particularly exciting year for generating politically-charged conversation and welcoming new audiences,” said Alex Organ, who is also an award-winning, respected and busy Dallas area actor and Anime voiceover talent. “As we look to 2019, our focus shifts toward more personal stories of resilience and self-discovery. We look forward to continuing our tradition of community engagement through post-show discussions after nearly every performance.” The season will begin with Nick Payne’s “Incognito” Jan. 30 through Feb. 23. Organ will direct and STT’s
uniforms are very similar to those Americans are familiar with from their own history, including the three-cornered hat, which forms the tenuous connection with the hat-making factory.
