Dallas' Majestic Theatre has been a showcase of elegance, grace and drama for decades.

By Shari Goldstein Stern stern.shari@gmail.com Since 1905, downtown Dallas’ Majestic Theatre was relocated several times before settling in for decades, yet the legendary theatre withstood the test of time and motion with grace. The theatre’s current location since 1921

was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.

In February 1920, Dallas businessman and philanthropist Karl Hoblitzelle commissioned architect John Eberson to design The Majestic Theatre at 1925 Elm St., its current location. Constructed as Hoblitzelle’s Interstate Amusement Company’s

ONE SETTE

Books and art give the interior at One Sette a lounge feel.

By David Mullen david@katytrailweekly.com A few weeks ago, a unique new club joined the Uptown scene in a rather familiar location.

Brothers Brandon and Christopher Nugent have opened One Sette at 2614 McKinney Ave. in the old space once occupied by The Idle Rich. Once slated for demolition, the building was given a reprieve and the brothers were able to bring in a new concept to Uptown with partners Warren Nugent (father), Adam Nugent (brother), Matthew Shuch (friend) and former Texas Rangers star Mike Napoli.

“Pretty much the entire thing is bottle service,” Brandon said. “Basically we feel like a lot of places around here are gearing more toward Las Vegas style

with lots of gimmicks. We are trying to focus on one thing. We want more of a boutique feel.” One Sette is only open Thursday through Saturday nights from UPTOWN cont'd on page 9

Review ballot given current voting machines

Hey you, don’t mess with the flu

By Ryann Gordon

By Tyler Skeeler

ryannbgordon@yahoo.com With the midterm elections coming up on Tuesday, Nov. 6, there has been rising talk of some less than comforting ways in which the elections have and are being altered. This round of midterms has stirred the media and raised major questions about the reliability of our voting system. Newsweek suggests that Russia may have already manipulated the election outcome, while Vox’s “The Weeds” went as far as to flat-out title their Oct. 26 podcast “Our elections are being hacked.”

Awareness has flooded the media and society, as voter suppression reveals itself in various areas, and voting machines have allegedly reversed certain candidates on straight ticket ballots. Aside from widespread talk of the voter suppression in Georgia, where officials have made strategic rules and requirements to voters that have limited certain groups of people from reaching the ballots, there is an even bigger rumor of ballots actually being skewed.

And it may be happening in our state. This is not entirely fresh news for the state of Texas.

Believe it or not, this was a problem addressed in the 2016 elections concerning the Hart eSlate voting machines used in about Ryann a third of our state’s counties, although it is being blamed on a faulty design and not hacking.

In a state that has raised national coverage in the U.S. Senate race, with current Republican chair holder Ted Cruz facing a challenge to reelection against Democratic opponent Beto O’Rourke, voting ethics could not be more vital. Yet complaints continue to rise, saying that machines have swapped Senate votes from one candidate to another on straight ballot tickets.

Thankfully, this will not be a problem in 2020, as the straight ballot option will be eliminated in Texas. However, this does not deal with the current problem we are facing. So, before

you submit your ballot on Election Day, check the summary page no matter which side you are on. Double and triple check, and slow down if you want to see your vote cast correctly.

Aside from glitchy voting machines, the race in Texas Gordon continues to gain exposure as one of the most interesting face-offs of the 2018 midterms. The traditionally conservative state, while still supporting Cruz, is facing a rare blue wave as O’Rourke supports many progressive stances on issues that millennials, like me, hold dear. Aside from millennial intrigue, and while O’Rourke may have hit home with many Texans on the issue of immigration, Cruz has widen his lead in polls recently to as much as 10 percent.

Despite the stir that the Texas senate race has brought the media, only Tuesday’s outcome will prove who the public favors in this election.

Now all we can do is hope to get those voting machines fixed by 2020.

So, why isn’t everyone getting that annual flu shot? The reality is there’s a lot of misinformation about the flu that I’d like to debunk. Here are a few common misconceptions: MYTH: You can get sick from the flu shot.

FACT: The flu vaccine isn’t manufactured with a live virus, so it cannot cause the flu. Sometimes patients are exposed to the flu or other virus before receiving the vaccine, which can take up to two weeks to become fully effective. When someone gets

sick, they mistakenly believe the vaccine was the cause.

MYTH: Flu shots aren’t always effective.

FACT: A flu shot is the best protection you can get. The vaccine stimulates the body’s immune system to make antibodies, which can recognize and attack that specific strain of virus inside the body. The vaccine greatly reduces the chances of contracting the virus and, if contracted, may make the symptoms milder. It’s important to note that most flu vaccinations protect against strains that are respiratory in nature, not gastrointestinal. Getting the “stomach bug” doesn’t necessarily mean your vaccine was ineffective.

MYTH: There’s no point in getting a flu shot if it’s later in the flu season.

FACT: Getting the flu shot later in the season can still be beneficial. In many cases, new virus strains can emerge throughout the season or pop up in different regions, so it’s important to get vaccinated annually.

Armed with this knowledge, I encourage you to get vaccinated and to talk about the benefits of vaccinations with your friends and loved ones. The flu is a dangerous virus.

Let’s each do our part to take control of it, one vaccine at a time.

Tyler Skeeler is a Walgreens pharmacist at Cedar Springs Road and Oak Lawn Avenue in Dallas. The flu vaccine is available during pharmacy hours — no appointment necessary — at all local Walgreens locations in North Texas. State, age and health restrictions may apply.

Mitsubishi’s Outlander PHEV plugs in

By David Boldt djboldt@sbcglobal.net It was as a captive import — you know, Ford had the Cortina and Buick sold Opels — that I first saw the Mitsubishi-sourced Dodge Colt. Almost 50 years later, a far more mature Mitsubishi attempts to revive its innovative energy with the first plugin crossover available in these United States, the Outlander PHEV. And if you like a value argument, you might as well plug in here.

Before Mitsubishi incurred a near-death spiral in the early ’00s (as a result of a financing initiative that almost defines ‘ill-advised’) they offered a number of desirable products. The Mitsubishi Montero served as an off-road answer to a question few mainstream consumers had — at that point — asked, while the Mitsubishi Evolution was one hot, rally-inspired concoction and supplying ballsy performance with a (small) dose of refinement.

Mitsubishi’s near-death spiral, however, was immediately followed by the near death of the global economy. The good news: While many industry observers expected the Mitsubishi folks to take the U.S. exit strategy of an Isuzu or Suzuki, they instead chose to hang, with few offerings and little news. Fortunately, Mitsubishi is beginning to show signs of a pulse, and that revived heartbeat begins with the Outlander PHEV. The Outlander and smaller Outlander Sport have been a mainstay of the Mitsubishi lineup since forever. In 2014 the larger Outlander received new

MULL IT OVER

Baseball season ends predictably

By David Mullen

National League Manager of the Year – Brian Snitker, Braves. The Braves were supposed to be a few years away from competing. Snitker led them to a division title this season.

American League Rookie of the Year – Miguel Andujar, Yankees.

Andujar, 23, was an unlikely answer to an iffy third base situation when the Yankees began the season. Had he not been injured, the award was Los Angeles Angels Shohei Ohtani to win.

National League Rookie of the Year – Ronald Acuna Jr., Braves.

Only 20, all eyes were on Acuna Jr. when he was called up to the big club this year.

He is a budding superstar.

American League Cy Young Award Winner – Blake Snell, Rays.

Snell won 21 games and had a 1.89 ERA for a team no one expected to compete in the strong AL East.

National League Cy Young Award Winner – Jacob deGrom, New York Mets. Despite playing for a lousy Mets team that failed to give him any run support, deGrom’s 1.70 ERA led all of Major League Baseball.

American League Most Valuable Player - Mookie Betts, Red Sox. Betts is the heart and soul of the Red Sox and his future is unlimited. He led the league with a .346 batting average and 120 runs scored. His defense is superior. While teammate J. D. Martinez knocked in 130 runs and will get some MVP consideration, Betts was the best player in the league in 2018.

National League Most Valuable Player - Christian Yelich, Brewers.

While much of the season it appeared that Javier Baez of the Chicago Cubs was a lock for this award, a late charge by Yelich has earned him the award. Yelich led the league in hitting and hit for two cycles, including one when he was 6-for-6.

While Boston celebrates, free agents will be switching teams and the Rangers look for a manager, baseball takes a four month break. For some, 2018 will be a season of glory.

david@katytrailweekly.com

On Oct. 28, the Boston Red Sox completed the inevitable. After a stunning 108-54 season, they beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games in the 2018 World Series to become World Champions for the fourth time this century.

The Red Sox had the New York Yankees chasing them in the AL East until opening up an eight game lead in September. Despite 100 wins, the Yankees finished second in the division and had to play the surprising Oakland Athletics in a one game Wild Card playoff game.

The Athletics, along with the Tampa Bay Rays, were the surprise teams of the American League. Despite a starting pitching staff that was decimated by injuries, the A’s won 97 games. That total of wins was the fourth best in all of baseball, and would have been good enough to win four divisions. The Rays won 90 games, and introduced the idea of the “opener,” where a relief pitcher would open a game, pitch to a specific number of batters or innings, and then be replaced by a starter or long reliever.

The defending champion Houston Astros won the AL East and 103 games, but lost momentum heading into the playoffs when key players like Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa came up injured. The Cleveland Indians won baseball’s weakest division, and then made an early exit in the playoffs.

The Texas Rangers were arguably the league’s most disappointing team. The team never gelled and rarely had timely hitting. Manager Jeff Banister lost his job, and the Rangers appear lost for seasons to come.

The Los Angeles Dodgers emerged from a league that at one point looked like no team, except for the upstart Milwaukee Brewers, wanted to win. A record two 163rd games were played to settle the playoff representatives. The young Atlanta Braves knocked off a surprising Philadelphia Phillies and lackluster Washington Nationals, the National League’s most disappointing team or equivalent to the Rangers.

While the Red Sox lifted baseball’s ultimate trophy, let’s predict the players and managers that will also soon be receiving hardware.

American League Manager of the Year – Bob Melvin, Athletics.

Despite a slow start, Melvin had the A’s playing the best baseball in the American League in the second half of the season with a cast of no Mookie Betts of the Boston Red Sox. names.

DOTTY’S TRUE TEXAS CUISINE

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

Unleavened brings fresh take to area

By Dotty Griffith dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Unleavened Fresh Kitchen rises to the occasion.

For breakfast, lunch and dinner, this local chain offers the kind of food so many people say Dotty Griffith they want: gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan.

Lots of wraps, salads, bowls. Kale, chia and avocado abound.

Founder Tom Dynan hosted a tasting lunch recently and rolled out some of Unleavened’s greatest hits at the newest location in Snider Plaza. Others are in Lakewood, Lake Highlands and Southlake.

What makes the Unleavened menu so approachable is that it isn’t strictly anything. If you want a wrap or salad with pulled pork, fajita beef or fried shrimp, you can order it. If you’re feeling righteous, go for hummus, roasted eggplant or quinoa and farro salad.

Virtually any dish on the menu can be ordered as a wrap or a salad. Easy to make vegetarian, even vegan. You make the call.

We started with the basics, a couple of dips that come with choice of raw veggies, grilled flatbread or house-made chips. Unleavened’s hummus restored my faith in the often-boring chickpea mash. Lots of roasted garlic, tahini and lemon give it an uncommonly assertive flavor. A sprinkle of toasted sumac on top adds another distinctive shade of lemon piquancy.

Avocado dip is straightforward with roasted garlic and just a hint of yellowbird habanero. Be not afraid. The heat level is low. Our tasting plate included the seasonal version with roasted scallions.

Dynan also brought out the “West Coast” as a salad with cornstarch (that makes it gluten-free) fried shrimp, lots of sliced avocado, arugula, green onion and cilantro with a smooth yet punchy Thai chili aioli.

The Club House wrap with roasted turkey sounds dull. The addition of pepper bacon, avocado mash and harissa crema (Middle East meets West) make this combination anything but monotonous.

A side bowl of grilled corn with traditional Mexican garnishes of lime, ancho chile, cilantro and Cotija cheese gets the same Mideast harissa boost.

Another menu stalwart that can fail to excite, chicken salad, gets a lot of help at Unleavened with currants, golden raisins, tomato and ranch dressing. Get it in a wrap or with greens. Dynan is proud enough of the chicken salad to make it the house signature, i.e. the “Unleavened.” With a side of the daily soup, tummy-warming lentil, the Unleavened soared above average.

Service at Unleavened is of the fast-casual genre, go through an order line and wait for your food at your table. Eat in or take away. Drink a beer, wine or mimosa if you’re in the mood.

Breakfast offerings are imaginative and as of-the-moment as the rest of the menu. Example: granola and chia mix with acai berries, banana, strawberries, agave, peanut butter and almond milk.

Morning wraps come with eggs or egg whites, chorizo, turkey or veggie sausage for a range of options from traditional to full-on vegan. Or opt for the potato hash bowl option with toppings and no wrap.

With outdoor seating and a location in the historic area between SMU and Highland Park, Unleavened Fresh Kitchen is at once familiar and food fashion forward.

Hash this dish over

Border Town Hash Bowl.

By Dotty Griffith dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Bowl breakfasts are a definite thing right now. This version from Unleavened Fresh Kitchen brims with Texas-style flavor and ingredients. Chorizo and Cotija cheese make it vibrant. Avocado and kale make it righteous.

UNLEAVENED FRESH KITCHEN BORDER TOWN HASH BOWL 8 red skin potatoes 1 shallot, sliced thin or shaved with a mandoline slicer 1 bunch kale, rinsed and chopped 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil Kosher salt to taste Black pepper, fresh cracked, to taste 8 ounces Mexican chorizo, cooked and drained 12 eggs 4 tablespoons crumbled Cotija cheese 4 tablespoons mashed avocado Rinse potatoes and cut each into quarters. Place in medium saucepan with enough water to cover.

Over high heat, bring potatoes to a boil, lower heat slightly

TOM DYNAN

and boil until almost cooked through, about 8 minutes.

Drain and allow to cool to room temperature.

When potatoes are cool, place shallot and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Stir in kale and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Add potatoes.

Lower heat to medium low and cook about 5 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown with crisp edges. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper or to taste. Remove from direct heat but keep warm.

In a medium skillet over medium heat, crumble chorizo into pan and cook until brown at the edges. Drain any excess grease.

In a large bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Stir eggs into chorizo and cook until firm. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper or to taste. Keep warm.

To serve, divide potato mixture into 4 portions (about 1 cup) and place 1 serving in each of 4 bowls. Divide scrambled egg mixture into 4 portions and use to top each serving of potato mixture. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon each cheese and avocado.

Makes 4 servings.

Key terms in construction

By Stephan Sardone stephan@sardoneconstruction.com

By Candy Evans candace@candysdirt.com We love every single home Clifford D. Hutsell has created. In fact, CandysDirt.com may have the most extensive archive of Candy Evans information on Hutsell-designed homes in America, because Dallas is blessed with so many of them. Lakewood alone has a collection of 50 Hutsell homes. So, when one comes up for sale, like this stunning 1931 Lakewood Spanish Eclectic at 7203 Lakewood Blvd., we guarantee we’ll let you know all the details.

In the 1920s, Hutsell gained success after a large construction phase in South Dallas. He built a significant number of modest Prairie-style homes, Craftsman bungalows and Tudor cottages on Park Row. Hutsell then moved on to Oak Lawn and East Dallas. After working in the M Streets, he began the transformation from builder to architect-builder.

This is when we see a radical style change, primarily influenced by a trip to California where Hutsell fell in love with Spanish Eclecticism.

Lucky for Lakewood, this is about the time he implemented his own creative and fanciful take on Spanish Eclectic architecture.

From 1926 to 1931, he created some of the most architecturally significant homes of his career in Lakewood. This is in no small part due to the fact he was also skilled at finding and keeping together a talented team of artisans and craftsmen. So, when you see this gorgeous Lakewood Spanish Eclectic home with the multi-colored tile roof, stained glass and enclosed courtyard, you can appreciate the artistry of all of these fine craftsmen working together over the years.

The craftsmanship, of course, extended into

ALLIE BETH ALLMAN

This house, located at 7203 Lakewood Blvd., is listed at $799,000. the interiors with signature features like arched doorways and barrel vaulted ceilings. Hutsell was also known for embellishing these arched doorways with wrought iron gates. He used both Rookwood and Batchelder tiles when designing fireplaces. This Lakewood Spanish Eclectic home has a rarity, a Batchelder fireplace with engraved scenes of White Rock Lake.

“This home has a colorful history of wonderful caretakers,” said Susan Baldwin, Allie Beth Allman listing agent. “Everybody loves it. Just recently someone stopped by whose grandmother had lived in the neighborhood years ago. He remembered as a kid that the Hutsell homes had bells in the archways, and parents would ring them when it was time to come in for dinner. We think this one probably had a bell as well, so you could install one and be right in keeping with the history of the home. Lakewood is very much a front yard community, so those bells come in handy!”

The house has been updated without marginalizing the original charm. It is 2,260 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master is downstairs, a rarity in historic homes.

You can feel the love and the care of generations of owners in this Lakewood Spanish Eclectic, and at only $799,000, it’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of history.

Do you find yourself scratching your head when having a discussion with a contractor or designer? Are you hesitant to ask questions because you don’t want to seem naïve or uneducated? Well, fear not. There is actually a book titled Dictionary of Architecture and Construction by Cyril M. Harris. Below are some key phrases that you should know before engaging in a project.

All-in Rate: In construction, the term means the total expenses for an item, which include all the direct and indirect costs. The term is also used in the financial sector.

Architect of Record: This term signifies the name of the architecture firm, or architect, whose name has been listed on the issued construction permits.

Batter (Walls): In architecture, batter means an inward inclination or slope of a wall or structure. Some architects choose this design to provide structural strength while others choose it for decorative purposes.

Blocking (Construction): Workers use the blocking technique for filling, spacing, joining or reinforcing structures.

Building Engineer: This is the person responsible for most of what goes on during construction, and must be well-versed in technology, design, assessment and maintenance.

Cant (Architecture): Or canted, is an oblique or angled line of a surface. Think of it as chamfering the edges of a building's plan. This design was heavily used in Baroque architecture to create a continuous feel to the composition.

Concrete Cover: The term is linked to reinforced concrete and is the least distance between the installed reinforcement and the outer surface of the concrete.

Concrete Slab: A think, horizontal concrete platform used to construct the floor or ceiling.

Course (Architecture): A term used to describe a continuous row of masonry.

Damp Proofing: A procedure done to the structure to prevent potential moisture from being absorbed by walls and entering the interior.

Design-build: As a time saving measure, the same team who designs the project constructs it as well.

Diagrid: The idea behind “diagrid” is pretty simple: diagonal + grid. Diagrids are diagonally intersecting steel beams (occasionally wooden or concrete), which help reduce the amount of steel used in traditional steel framing.

Falsework: A temporary structure constructed to support and hold the span during construction or repairs.

Formwork: It is the construction of a temporary structure into which concrete is poured for it to be settled and set in the desired form.

Joint (building): Joints are inserted between two distinct materials in a structure which do not

have any physical connection to one another but are either aligned next to each other Stephan Sardone or overlap.

Joist: In a widespan structure, they help transfer the load from the beams to the vertical columns and studs.

Lift Slab Construction: Basically, the concrete slabs are cast on ground level, and are then lifted through hydraulic jacks into the designated placement.

Lookout (architecture): Lookouts are wooden joists that extend beyond the exterior wall to support the roof sheathing phase in construction.

Monocrete Construction: The monocrete construction method is the sole use of precast concrete panels, bolted together, to create concrete structures.

Precast Concrete: One of the most commonly used forms of concrete, precast concrete is concrete elements created off-site to be transferred or lifted to the site later on.

Purlin: A purlin is any longitudinal element implemented on the roof structure horizontally for additional structural or material support.

Rim Joist: In flooring systems, rim joists are attached to the ends of the floor's main joists, providing lateral support to the ends of the decking system.

Shiplap: Wood panels fixed onto the sides of barns, sheds and homes.

Shoring: Temporarily installed on site, shoring is the method in which metal or timber props are assembled to support the structure during construction.

Superstructure/substructure: In general terms, superstructure simply means a structure built on top of another structure. Typically, this term is used to describe any part of a building that is above ground, with the parts of the building below ground conversely referred to as the substructure.

Topping Out: The moment when the uppermost structural element is installed. It is often heralded as a major construction milestone.

Underpinning: Underpinning is the act of strengthening an existing structural foundation.

Virtual Design and Construction, or VDC: Includes all the multi-disciplinary models of a project.

Wall Stud: Wall studs are crucial members of wooden or steel wall frames, as they are the vertical elements that help support and transfer loads of bearing and nonbearing walls.

So there you go. Now you can talk (and listen) about the basics on construction and architecture.

SMU FOOTBALL

Gary's physicality leads defensive front

alohman@mail.smu.edu Junior Demerick Gary is the ideal defensive tackle for SMU's head football coach Sonny Dykes. Since Dykes and his staff arrived on campus, they have preached the importance of the Mustangs becoming a more physical football team. That physicality is what makes Gary such a disruptive presence up front for the Mustangs.

Gary came to the Hilltop as a threestar recruit after earning District 13-5A Defensive Most Valuable Player twice at Kimball High School in Dallas. As a freshman defensive end at SMU, he racked up 21 total tackles and was second on the team with 7.5 tackles for loss.

As a sophomore, Gary shifted inside the line to defensive tackle. He had a productive season, registering 15 total tackles, 5.5 TFLs, his first career interception and his first career fumble recovery. However, he knew that he still had to put in work to improve at the new position.

"I understand the game a little bit more, I'm getting a little bit older," said Gary, one of SMU's most experienced linemen. "I knew I needed to focus better at my techniques at this position

SMU

I play now."

Gary also credits the SMU coaching staff with his growth in the new role.

"Our coaches are the best at coaching their position," Gary said. "Coach [Brett] Diersen and Coach [Randall] Joyner, they teach us well as far as pass rushing, but especially run [defense].

They're some of the best in the country at what they do."

Against Tulane at the midway point of the season, SMU's defense seemed to turn a corner. The Mustangs recorded three takeaways, five sacks and 11 tackles for loss in a defensive performance that was crucial to SMU's 27-23 comeback win in New Orleans.

The Mustangs' physicality was the key to all the big plays.

"Well I think we had a great week of practice last week. I think we were physical from the start. They took care

of us last week, so we were able to play fast," Gary said of the defense's energy following the bye week. "We've got to be physical. It's the key to our defense, I believe. It's something that we've built ever since the offseason and something that's really starting to show as far as how we play."

Physicality has paid dividends for SMU and Gary this year. When the Navy center fumbled a snap on Sept.

22, Gary powered through the line to fall on the ball, one of three fumble recoveries against the Midshipmen that day. In a 31-30 overtime win, every takeaway made a difference.

Gary's individual production is up this year as well. With four games to play, he has 20 tackles, which is one stop shy of his career high for a single season.

As the Mustangs close out the season with four important conference games, Gary knows SMU's success will come from within.

"It's something that we have established, just focusing on us, not really focusing on what the other team does," Gary said. "When we focus on our keys and what we need to do and our daily goals, we'll be fine. Our daily goals, if we accomplish them every day, then on game day we'll be just fine."

Your Stars this Week

by Stella Wilder

The coming week is likely to see many individuals battling demons that have lain dormant for some time but are taking advantage of a current opportunity to haunt those who have not set up adequate defenses. The week is likely to begin in such a fashion that everyone will know, at the outset, just what he or she will be facing — but that’s not the whole story! What will really make the difference at this time is one’s ability to temper one’s reactions to developments throughout the week and to learn lessons quickly.

There is nothing “bad” this week that cannot be willed into something “good.”

Those who have recently been enjoying the rapture of a new relationship are likely to experience a kind of disappointment, as reality sets in and each half of the partnership realizes that the object of his or her passion is real and flawed. This can provide a great deal of strength to those who are in it for the long haul, however — and be a source of humor as well.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You can transform an otherwise routine endeavor into quite an extraordinary affair. Many will follow in your footsteps. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – Your ability to crack all kinds of “secret” codes will come in handy. The information you provide another helps.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You may be able to capture

something that has been eluding you for far too long. Now — do you know what to do with it?

(Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – You may have to break the rules somewhat in order to come to the rescue of someone who is in over his or her head. Long-term ramifications are few.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You can keep emotional and psychological shocks to a minimum this week as you deal with something that affects you physically.

(Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – You will have the opportunity to do what you do best, and others are sure to come running to see if you can do better at this time than you have at any time in the past.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You may grow tired of the role you are playing, but you’ll have the chance to change things up a bit — and explore a new avenue as well. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – A cancellation early in the week has you wondering if the team you’ve assembled is really up to the job.

You may want to go it alone — for a while, at least.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You’ll learn that you can trust someone to have your back this week; perhaps he or she can take on more responsibility. (March 6-March 20) – Don’t let things sit dormant for too long this week.

Your direct involvement will benefit yourself and others in ways that

you may not have anticipated.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) You’ll receive information as the week opens that has you reconsidering a plan that was ready for implementation. Changes may be few. (April 5-April 19) – Take care this week that you don’t cause trouble for yourself by avoiding any sort of bureaucracy — especially where your work is concerned. Follow the rules!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You may find yourself swimming with sharks this week, but you are far more capable of escaping intact than others in your predicament. (May 6-May 20) – Now is the time to inform those around you of just what you are willing to do and what you are not. Real progress depends upon real transparency.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) Not everyone knows how you are expecting to get certain things done this week; you must be willing to share your methods. (June 7-June 20) – Collective efforts pay off handsomely this week and you can do much to encourage collaborative thinking among those who have been rivals in the past.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) You’re going to have to deliver the news this week in a way that avoids any negative reactions

from others. Objectivity is the key.

(July 8-July 22) – You may be wondering what’s next when it comes to a certain arrangement made long ago. You’ve heard nothing about it, but the bills are soon to come due.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You may be facing a certain situation that is at once routine and extraordinary. The devil is in the details, as usual; don’t space out!

(Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – Much will be demanded of you this week, and you must be willing to say “no” when you feel you’re being overloaded. Guard against depleting your resources.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) Something remarkable happens early in the week that has you looking forward to things with new enthusiasm. A partner brings you good luck. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – You may be wondering what happened to a certain relationship, and this week you can do much to recapture what you feel was lost — but it will take work.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) You are able to support others this week even as you tend to your immediate needs and desires. Each informs the other at this time. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – What you have right now is sure to satisfy you — which means you’ll want more if you can get it. Use caution, however! Too much can do you harm.

Despite doubts, new 'A Star is Born' hits hard and often

By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood When first announced, “A Star Is Born” had the words “vanity project” written all over it. Big movie star decides to star, write and direct himself in yet another remake of an American classic. Not only that, he’s going to write and perform all the original songs in it?

After approximately 15 seconds, Bradley Cooper should silence all doubters. It takes one live performance of “Black Eyes” and Cooper absolutely disappears into the role of country music star Jackson Maine. Not only is the musicianship fully convincing, Cooper’s Southern drawl only pales in comparison with Sam Elliott’s gravely pipes, who naturally shows up as Jackson’s manager and half-brother, Bobby.

If Jackson is lonely while sitting on top of the world, Ally Campana (Lady Gaga) is on the other end of the success spectrum. As Jackson is pushed into a limo after a performance in California, Ally is being ordered to take out restaurant trash before her shift is over. Her lack of success in getting singing gigs is evident when the only time she can get on stage to perform is at a Los Angeles drag bar.

Due to chance/alcoholism, Jackson stumbles into that very

drag bar and watches Ally perform an absolutely knockout version of “La Vie en Rose.” Jackson, everyone in the bar and everyone watching the movie should then do one thing and one thing only: fall in love with Ally.

Ally and Jackson’s whirlwind love affair occupies the first hour or so of “A Star Is Born” and it is nothing short of irresistible.

Ally naturally joins Jackson on tour and he encourages her to perform her own songs and the euphoria of it all probably causes her to ignore Jackson’s functional alcoholism.

The second chunk of “A Star Is Born” is not as good as the first and it quickly rushes Ally into bubblegum pop music superstardom. She doesn’t leave Jackson, but her career quickly surpasses his while he battles several different types of bottles and a case of painful tinnitus. It also introduces Rez (Rafi Gavron), who fills the easily hatable role of Ally’s sleazy music producer and manager.

There are several dramatic themes present in “A Star Is Born” and the idea of art versus artist is interesting as it parallels the actual music career of Lady Gaga. Jackson is supportive of Ally, but he’s definitely not sold on her flip from singer/songwriter to orange-haired pop star with backup dancers. Ally only changes on the surface, which makes it

WARNER BROS. PICTURES

Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga star in “A Star Is Born.” tough to tell if Jackson just misses singing with the love of his life or if he’s battling full fledged jealousy.

There are a few moments where director Cooper allows himself and Lady Gaga to be a bit self-indulgent and chew up the scenery, but they are both such flawed and lovable characters that you really shouldn’t mind.

Lady Gaga and Cooper fall right

into their roles and their love at first sight story works, which makes the rest of the film work.

It’s hard to believe that this is the same human that once wore a meat dress, but Lady Gaga is simply stunning. It’s up in the air whether she can actually “act,” but who cares? This role is tailor made for her and she manages to be electrifying and self-aware all at the same time.

After working with directors like Clint Eastwood and David O. Russell, perhaps it shouldn’t be too shocking that Cooper himself is amazing behind the camera.

His version of “A Star Is Born” is only outshined by the original and this story of love, heartbreak and music will no-doubt continue to bring droves of people (and many packages of Kleenex) to the theater.

Uncle barky's bites

Technically speaking, it’s more of a reprieve than a reboot

By Ed Bark unclebarky@verizon.net But whatever the label, Fox’s second coming of “Last Man Standing” is the new season’s most surprisingly popular re-do after getting sacked by ABC at the end of the 2016-17 TV season. Why was it dropped despite being ABC’s second mostwatched comedy series?

The show’s increasing production expenses, and the fact that it wasn’t from ABC Studios, factored prominently in the cancellation. In small part, perhaps, so did the political conservatism of its star Tim Allen, both off-camera and in character as outdoor

sporting goods marketing exec Mike Baxter.

In its last airing, on Oct. 19 before a World Series preemption last week, “Last Man Standing” again ranked as Fox’s most-watched show of the night, both nationally and in Dallas-Fort Worth.

It’s also performing beyond expectations in the advertiser-prized 18- to 49-year-old demographic, consistently ranking No. 1 among all Friday night programming in the national Nielsens while also propping up Fox’s following “The Cool Kids.”

Set in a retirement home, “Cool Kids” also is fitting Fox like a glove despite going against the grain of the network’s Ed Bark longstanding “edgy” profile.

Both “Last Man Standing” and the newcomer are old-school “three-camera” sitcoms with loud laugh tracks and lead characters in their 60s or 70s.

CBS’ “Murphy Brown” reboot also has a geriatric cast. But unlike “Last Man Standing,” it’s politically well to the left and struggling in the Thursday night ratings,

where “Murphy” has been by far the least-watched of CBS’ four comedies both in total viewers and with 18-to-49-year-olds.

“Last Man Standing” is produced by 20th Century Fox Television, which makes it a better and more profitable fit when it comes to syndicated repeats. But does the show also benefit from the Fox broadcasting network’s corporate synergy with conservative-minded Fox News Channel? It almost assuredly doesn’t hurt in times when those who pledge allegiance to President Trump seem to be actively seeking out the comparative handful of entertainment series that follow suit.

“Last Man Standing” isn’t as aggressively polemic as “Murphy Brown,” although its star hasn’t minced his words. In an interview on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” before ABC canceled his show, Allen controversially contended that being a Republican in Hollywood is “like 1930s Germany.

You gotta be real careful around here. You’ll get beat up if you don’t believe what everybody believes.”

After a year off the air, Allen is having the last laugh, for now at least.

••• ABC has renewed “America’s Funniest Home Videos” for a 30th and 31st season, re-proving that “Fall down, go boom” still serves as must-see entertainment in millions of American households.

Your friendly correspondent has been around long enough to have reviewed

FOX

Nancy Travis and Tim Allen from "Last Man Standing." the show’s debut back in the 1980s. Bob Saget was the host back then, with Tom Bergeron following and Alfonso Ribeiro currently presiding.

While cable networks and streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime increasingly get most of the Emmy love, the Big Four broadcast networks are relying more than ever on the enduring popularity of unscripted series, many of them in their second decades or more.

Besides “Funniest Home Videos,” ABC also has “Dancing with the Stars,” “The Bachelor,” “The Bachelorette” and a raft of game show revivals. NBC is still dominating with both “The Voice” and “America’s Got Talent.” CBS continues to get solid mileage out of “Survivor,” “Big Brother” and “The Amazing Race” while Fox was once home to “American Idol” (now on ABC) and continues to offer new seasons of “So

You Think You Can Dance” and several competition series created and hosted by bombastic chef Gordon Ramsay.

••• The four-week November “sweeps” ratings period kicked off on Oct. 25. Fox4 is hoping to keep a remarkable winning streak alive. The 6 a.m. hour of its “Good Day” program hasn’t been beaten on a weekday since March 30 in either total viewers or with 25-to-54year-olds (main advertiser target audience for news programming). The 7 to 9 a.m. hours of “Good Day” also continue to dominate the three network morning shows while the new 9 to 10 a.m. hour also has performed strongly.

At the other end of the ratings teeter-totter, onetime juggernaut WFAA-TV (Channel 8) looks to be in serious danger of coming up empty in all four of the major local newscast battlegrounds – 6 a.m. and 5, 6 and 10 p.m. The station will be without 6 and 10 p.m. co-anchor Cynthia Izaguirre for the entire sweeps period. She’s currently on adoption leave, and also has gone public with her recent hysterectomy surgery. Izaguirre won’t be back on the air until at least December.

WINDING ROADS

Motor court concept comes to Las Colinas

By Jo Ann Holt joannholt@gmail.com My husband and I recently attended a food tasting for recipes that executive chef Patrick Hildebrandt created for new Texican Court’s Two Mules Cantina Restaurant.

The 152-room retro-inspired Texican Court will open Thursday, Nov. 15 in Las Colinas.

Chef Hildebrandt's six course tasting menu started with cold appetizers Michi Ceviche (charred shrimp, cherry tomato, grilled onions, michelada sauce) and Border Tuna Stack (citrus and chili marinated tuna, avocado, escobeche, cilantro).

For the hot appetizer course, a small but succulent barbecued beef tostada with black bean puree, caramelized onion and blistered tomato was one of my favorites.

This was followed by another favorite, a savory Elote featuring perfectly roasted corn on the cob spiced with Queso fresco, de arbol aioli and smoked chili powder. These were so good, I ate two.

Next on the upscale TexMex menu we were treated to an entrée of Cochinita Pibil (achiote marinated smoked and sous vide pork shoulder).

This dish was so tender it melted in your mouth. Last but not least by any means was a delicious Tres Leches cake that was so moist it should have been eaten with

a spoon instead of a fork.

UPTOWN cont'd from page 1

11 p.m. to 2 a.m. Pop-up brunches are being planned for Sundays. The lounge will also be available for corporate events and parties.

Upon entering the club, there is nothing reminiscent of the former Irish pub. It clearly

has a lounge feel. The entrance is laden in brass and velvet. Tables are spread throughout the bar with a small deejay stand in the middle. The focal point of the bar is a huge wall of books that has been transformed into a piece of art by local artist Travis McCann. Walls are moveable to control the interior space based on crowd size.

“The name is an ode to our Italian American heritage and a salute to our family,” shared Christopher. “Our father is the oldest child of 17 so we wanted to pay tribute to our family’s roots.” One Sette means one and seven in Italian.

Several sports celebrities have already visited One Sette, including mixed martial arts star Conor McGregor. The interior has a capacity of more than 500 and more than 80 on the patio within the 5,000-square-foot space.

Brandon began his career in hospitality at an early age. “I started when I was 20,” Brandon said. “I started as a door guy, then moved over to bartender, then worked in management. But [brother] Chris is the reason I got into the business.”

“We want to create an atmosphere that people in Uptown want,” Brandon said, “and one that they will want to keep coming back to.” Tables can be reserved by calling 214-258-6799 or visiting onesette.com.

Walk the streets Jesus walked

By Michael Wald wald.world@yahoo.com A trip to Israel allows you to walk in Jesus’ footsteps. And since he spent most of his time in and around a relatively small area, basically around Jerusalem and the Sea of Galilee, you can get from one spot to another while staying in one hotel, avoiding having to pack and unpack, if you wish.

Even if you don’t know much about Bible history, Israeli guides are required to know the Jesus story to get licensed and are happy to help you learn why the various sites are important.

Jesus’ annunciation. The story starts in the city of Nazareth on the Sea of Galilee, where it is said that the angel Gabriel came to Mary to tell her that she would

give birth to Jesus. Today, on this place, you find the Basilica of the Annunciation. Adjacent is where Jesus’ parents lived and raised baby Jesus.

Jesus’ birth. Mary and Joseph travel to Bethlehem to give birth to Jesus. You can visit the spot where Jesus was born inside the Church of the Nativity.

Bethlehem is a mostly Arab town today. Its Christian population (1/2 of 1 percent) stays put largely to look after the church and shepherd the throngs of people through the church that come to see where Jesus was born. The church is shared among several Christian denominations, including Catholics, Greek Orthodox and the Armenian Orthodox who have a strict rotation of times that they get to pray there and a strict division

THEATER cont'd from page 1

showcases. The early theatre was the preeminent vaudeville house of the Southwest.

Now more than a century later (113 years), The Majestic Theatre’s colorful history will be celebrated when Lyric Stage, recently welcomed as the Majestic’s resident acting company, opens with “The Majestic Unplugged,” Friday, Nov. 16 through Sunday, Nov. 18 with four performances.

In June 1921, “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,” one of the earliest “motion pictures” was the first to open at the Majestic Theatre following years of Vaudeville. Many films premiered there throughout the years.

In the 1950s, Fess Parker appeared with the opening of his movie, “Davy Crockett.” Baby Boomers may have vivid memories of wearing your Davy Crockett hats while the organ rose from beneath the floor with an organist playing before the show opened.

The final film screened was “Live and Let Die” in 1973. Baby Boomers may also recall being introduced to the legendary James Bond movies at the Majestic during the 1960s.

Multiple business and financial decisions kept the theatre out of operation until 1975. On Jan. 31, 1976 the Hoblitzelle Foundation formally gave the Majestic Theatre as a gift to the people of Dallas to transform into a center for performing arts.

Private funds and a city bond allowed the theatre to undergo a $5 million renovation of the striking venue.

On Jan. 28, 1983, the Dallas Ballet held the first live, public performance in the Majestic Theatre. In March of that year, Liza Minnelli was featured in concert for the gala opening benefiting the theatre.

Conceived and music selection by Steven Jones, Lyric Theatre’s founder, “The Majestic Unplugged” includes a revue of numbers representing the golden age of movies from the theatre’s opening in 1921 to its closing in 1973. Will there be some vaudeville thrown into the mix? That’s a “just you wait and see.”

The range of musical styles is as broad as the theatre’s history, spanning 1905 through 1972. Fans of Oscar Hammerstein and Jerome Kern will recognize the exquisite ballad, “Only Make Believe” from 1927’s “Show Boat,” when performed by Kristen Lassiter and Christopher J. Deaton. Other movie soundtracks represented are 1972’s “The Poseidon Adventure;” 1945’s “Ziegfeld Follies;” 1949’s “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” and Cole Porter’s 1948 classic, “Kiss Me Kate.” The performance is being touted as “The purity of the human voice in its natural state, enhanced only by the acclaimed

of duties as to which group takes care of which aspect of this important site. The line to get in can take several hours, so it is always recommended to go after lunch and be prepared to be in Bethlehem all afternoon. Consider yourself lucky if you can get through quicker.

On the day of my visit, a church group thought it would be a great idea to stop in front of Jesus’ birthplace to hold a Mass, inconsiderately holding up those waiting in line for hours, even though it is not officially permitted to stop. In Bethlehem, money speaks. Turns out this righteous church group had paid off the guards.

Jesus’ home. The St. Joseph Church in Nazareth is reputedly built over the spot where Joseph and Mary lived at the time of Jesus’ birth. It is a large space with

acoustics of The Majestic Theatre.”

One of Dallas’ most valued and versatile talents, Max Swarner will open with “Pure Imagination” from Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse’s 1970 “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.” Swarner is known for countless shows throughout the area’s proliferation of theaters, including Theatre Too, Contemporary Theater of Dallas, and Garland Summer Musicals, to name a few.

Swarner’s other Lyric Stage performances have included “Anything Goes,” “1776,” “The Most Happy Fella” and more.

This is not the award-winning actor’s first experience on the Majestic stage. From 1998 through 2002 as a very young, budding actor he appeared in “It’s a Wonderful Life – the Musical” at the Majestic. Swarner said, “I am thrilled to return to the historic Majestic Theatre for the first time in 20 years doing what I love the most — singing. The theatre is so rich in history, and its acoustics were designed for unamplified singing. I am overjoyed to share the stage with this immensely talented group of artists, and I cannot wait for our audiences to experience the natural acoustical beauty of the space.”

Featured guest artist, Grammy Awardwinning Cynthia Clawson, is referred to by many as the “singer’s singer” and called “The most awesome voice in gospel music”

by Billboard Magazine. Clawson has received a Grammy and five Dove awards for her work as a songwriter, vocal artist and musician. Her career has spanned over four

MICHAEL WALD

The ruins of Jesus's synagogue (above) and Jesus' tomb (below). its own mikveh, the traditional Jewish ritual bath, inside the house, an unusual extravagance today and then.

Jesus is baptized. John baptized Jesus in the Jordan River.

Today, at a favorite spot south of the Sea of Galilee on the Jordan River at Yardenit, tourists flock to baptize themselves in the Jordan River or simply swim in the river.

Many weddings take place along the river banks at Yardenit as it has particularly nice gardens. The actual place where Jesus was baptized is in a spot on the Jordan River close to Jericho.

Jesus lives. Jesus spent most of his life in Capernaum. You’ll want to visit this old, little fishing town on the Sea of Galilee to see the synagogue where Jesus prayed and studied as he developed his disciples. A Franciscan order runs a modern church with a glass floor built over ruins of an ancient church in this quaint city with a lot of architectural interest.

Jesus’ death. The room of the last supper, the supposed route of the Via Dolorosa (now largely several layers underground) and the stations of the cross, and the site of the crucifixion are all in

decades with 22 recordings to her credit.

Her rendition of “Softly and Tenderly” set the evocative tone for the soundtrack of the Academy Award-winning movie, “The Trip to Bountiful.” According to her publicist, “Her talents bridge the arts of music, theater and cabaret. Her eclectic style allows her artistry full expression.”

Clawson will put her spin on “Over the Rainbow” from 1939’s “Wizard of Oz.” She will offer the audience a lovely souvenir with her solo of the classic “You’ll Never Walk Alone” from Oscar Hammerstein and Richard Rodgers’ 1945 “Carousel.” She has another opportunity to dazzle with Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini’s “Moon River” from 1961’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” Clawson will further entertain with “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes” from 1950’s “Cinderella.”

The audience will remember Disney’s “When You Wish Upon a Star” as performed

by Daron Cockerell, Christopher J. Deaton, Catherine Carpenter Cox and the ensemble. The cast also includes, Kristen Lassiter, Feleceia Benton, Christine Cornish Smith and Andy Baldwin.

The revue-style show will also include songs from “Show Boat” and “The Poseidon Adventure,” like “Make Believe,” “My Man,” “The Trolley Song” and “The Morning After.”

According to Lyric Stage founder, Steven Jones, left, "Harvey Schmidt [deceased 2018] was one of the greatest American musical composers. 'The Fantasticks,' written with fellow Texan Tom Jones, is the longest running musical in history. Lyric Stage's Schmidt and Jones Awards, honoring excellence in high school musical theater, are named for Harvey and Tom."

Jerusalem as is Jesus’ tomb. To see the Calvary and tomb, expect to wait on long lines at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, unless you get up for the 4 a.m. Mass, and even then, you are not guaranteed to get right in. There is, of course, no body in the tomb, but it is revered as the place where the remains once were and from which Jesus was resurrected. The tomb is enclosed in an elaborate shrine, which can be viewed from the outside without waiting on line.

As, perhaps, the most holy of places in the Christian faith, the site is exceptionally crowded most of the time. The church building, iconology and paintings are beautiful in their own right.

Although a trip to Israel can be filled just tracing Jesus’ steps, don’t miss the many other mustsee stops in this fascinating place where three of the world’s great religions converge.

Baylor University and Baylor College of Dentistry, only to change plans and take off for New York without cleaning a single tooth. He followed his dreams to act professionally. Dr. Jones produced his first show Off-Broadway in 1992.

Jones had honed his craft earlier with Dallas Repertory Theatre in NorthPark Center on-stage and off for two seasons.

Dallas Rep closed, so Jones founded Lyric Stage. “I wanted a place for local Dallas professional actors, directors, choreographers, designers and musicians to create great musical theater,” he said.

According to Jones, Lyric Stage opened its first production in 1993 and has produced over 120 shows to date, hiring over 1,000 artists. Under his leadership, Lyric Stage has won 35 Dallas Theatre League Leon Rabin Awards and three special citations for excellence and innovation from the Dallas Theatre Critics Forum. Jones has been nominated twice by The Dallas Morning News for Texan of the Year for his contributions to musical theater. Jones said, “My vision for a nationally recognized musical theater devoted to the development and preservation of the American musical in North Texas is now a reality. I have selected and produced 21 world premiere musicals.”

Following rave reviews of a Lyric Stage production of “Carousel,” Ted Chapin, Chairman of the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization, selected Jones and Lyric Stage to produce the premiere of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s restoration of the original “The King and I.” Bruce Greer, Director/Orchestrator, is glad to be returning to Lyric Stage after providing Music Direction for “Newsies” at the Majestic. Other Lyric Stage credits include “Of Thee I Sing,” “Anything Goes” and “Mame.”

His commanding solo piano artistry, as well as his artistic collaboration with Clawson, has taken him around the world, performing in churches, conferences and leading concert halls. As a Baylor University graduate in music theory/composition, he spent six years with Word Records and Music. He collaborated with lyricist Keith Ferguson on popular musical adaptations of “It’s a Wonderful Life” and John Grisham’s novel Skipping Christmas.

Performances of Lyric Stage’s “The Majestic Unplugged” are Friday, Nov. 16 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 17 at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 18, at 2:30 p.m. at the Majestic Theatre, 1925 Elm. St. For information and tickets, visit ticketdfw.com or call 214-871-5000.
