Regarding last week’s anniversary issue: As the editor of PW ’s predecessor, the Welcomat, from 1981 to 1993, I read this issue with great interest. Let me make two small but important corrections: Anthony Clifton said that in 1981 I became “the paper's first editor since its launch in 1971.” Actually, the Welcomat had at least 15 editors in the 10 years before I arrived. Some lasted only a few months, and none lasted more than two years.

Tim Whitaker, who became editor some two years after I left, described the Welcomat when he arrived as a paper that “had a small number of writers who were paid very little to express themselves about whatever they felt like ... $10, $20, maybe $40 for a story.”

It’s true that no one ever wrote for the old Welcomat for the money, but we never paid less than $30 per article when I was there. And if Tolstoy had walked in with the manuscript for War and Peace, I'm sure we would have rustled up at least $75. As for the "small number of writers," the cover of our commemorative 1,000th issue in September 1990 listed the names of 85 noteworthy contributors, and that list was just the tip of the iceberg. One of those names, incidentally, was Tim Whitaker’s.

DAN ROTTENBERG Editor, Broad Street Review

Congratulations to PW from someone who knew you when. I was the editor-in-chief of the Center City Welcomat from September 1975 until January 1976 when I moved on to work for a suburban daily. Yes, the Welcomat was completely different, but it had an honorable mission. We aimed to serve the residents of Center City.

They didn’t expect a lot of essays from their newspaper, just an extensive calendar of events and the regular news. The community news format augmented with syndicated columns proved profitable for owner Leon Levin’s “flagship” South Philadelphia Review, so he let his daughters manage the same concept in Center City. If Mr. Levin’s daughters had any desire to make the Welcomat different, I never knew it. For me, the Welcomat was a great job right out of college and I’m still grateful for the opportunity. I honed my management skills by supervising one part-time reporter, a retired gentleman in his 80s who wrote up the calendar on a manual typewriter. The daughters were cordial and generally kept to themselves, although they did suggest that I wear makeup. How many other editors get that kind of guidance from their publishers? The Welcomat was the professional beginning of my dream career. These days, I am extremely thankful—and proud—to still be doing the work I love for a newspaper I love, the Philadelphia Inquirer.

JANE M. VON BERGEN via email

I was a part of the old and new Welcomat, both as a columnist, book reviewer and feature writer. Well before the name change, the Welcomat was also thoroughly ensconced in alternative weekly mode.

In those days it was hard to get more alternative than editors Derek Davis, Jim Knipel and Suzanne Ross.

There was tension in the office when publisher Michael Cohen came on the scene. Cohen’s surgically abrasive manner hit like a spray of bullets from an AK 47. When William Warner, a smart but quietly introspective New York novelist was hired as the new editor, some wondered how he would blend with Cohen, who was more of stock broker type. Warner was a bit of a perfectionist and wasn’t above calling writers into his office for a “line by line” analysis of their work. Needless to say, there was no post hire honeymoon period between him and Cohen. At the time the word was that Cohen wanted to dictate content but Warner wasn’t having it. Cohen, not about to be upstaged, had Warner’s head before the New Yorker could even get his first edition out. The day that Warner was fired was the day that he had roller bladed to work. “I skated into work, and skated out 30 minutes later,” he told me by phone then.

Man of Conviction

Milton Street has been beaten up by the media and others. But will he have the last laugh?

By Aaron Kase akase@philadelphiaweekly.com

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K L Y May 1 1 - 17, 2 01 1 • 8

Never mind the oncoming traffic. The big man is crossing Broad Street as the light changes, but he can’t resist stopping another pedestrian to shake his hand. “I’m Milton Street and I’m running for mayor,” the former state senator tells his mark. Large, gregarious and oozing charisma in a gold tie and green baseball cap, the candidate earns a grin from the man he stopped. “You got my back?” Street asks.

“Vote for the people’s champ!” yells out a campaign ally to no one in particular. Street is in his element, covering the blocks around Broad and Erie, handing out campaign posters to the businesses on Germantown Avenue, venturing into electronic shops, dollar stores and pizza joints. “Yo, Street!” yells a man on the sidewalk. Plenty of old acquaintances recognize the hot-dog vendorcum-politician, who despite being just a few months out of prison for “failure to file” federal taxes, is running against Mayor Nutter for this year’s Democratic nomination.

“How you doing?” a man asks.

“A lot better since I saw you!” Milton answers.

“We gonna do this?” another passer-by asks. “Cause we gotta get Nutter out of there.”

Considered a prohibitive long-shot in the election, Street is out to defy the odds and show the city he’s the true man of the people. He’s been ridiculed in the press for his prison record, his million-plus in unpaid taxes and his bombastic attitude, among other things. Most pundits have written him off as a viable candidate, but his game is to take advantage of a seething sentiment among the city’s poor, destitute and disenfranchised that Nutter has ignored them and their plight.

Street moves easily among his people, chatting and greeting, making connections on the sidewalk even while an overweight Daily News reporter hounds his side, jamming a microphone into his face. The candidate stops to talk to a pretty girl in a leather jacket standing on the corner of Broad Street.

“Can I count on your vote?” he asks her.

Sullen, she shakes her head no.

“No? Why not?” Street asks, grinning.

“You’re not 18?” She shakes her head again, fiddling with her ear buds. He laughs, and moves on down Erie Avenue.

Always great with an audience, Street has enlivened the campaign with phrases

like, “I’m pregnant with information!” and comparing himself to Moses, rising from servitude to greatness. He has found some vocal support: Last week, he helped lead a rally for hundreds of discontented bluecollar city employees, furious after four years with no pay raise. That union, as well as the city’s firefighters, have endorsed Milton for mayor. But though the primary grows closer, the Street campaign has started to shy away from the press. It’s hard to blame them. The media has not been kind, associating the campaign with words like “clown” and “nightmare,” with even the appreciative opinion columns that support his ideas ending with some variation on the phrase “he shouldn’t be mayor.”

Milton Street Jr. has taken on the role of protecting his dad from negative coverage, writing an angry letter to the Daily News to protest the paper’s slant, and canceling scheduled interviews with other venues, at one point screaming at a reporter over the telephone, “I’m not going to let anyone bash Milton Street Sr.!” Campaign Manager Johnny Patterson actually left the team several weeks ago, citing disputes over the direction and leadership of the campaign.

But it may not matter. Street is betting his run on a whole other constituency, one that doesn’t form opinions based on the Inquirer or Daily News, one who hears “tough on crime” and knows it means “tough on me.”

These are people who see expanding ‘nice’ neighborhoods as a farce to displace them from their homes, who still resent Nutter for closing down the swimming pools two years ago. The 200,000 or 300,000 former convicts, nobody seems to know for sure how many, who are denied access to jobs and services but who still live and vote in Philadelphia. “That’s Milton Street getting on the subway,” says an admiring 18-yearold a few cars in front of the candidate after the Germantown Avenue canvassing. “I’m gonna go down and volunteer for his campaign tomorrow!”

When asked what he liked about Street, the youth instead replies in the negative about the current mayor. “Throw Nutter in the gutter!” he says, citing the usual swimming pool and library justification.

politics for you,” he tells the few dozen people sitting around the small conference room. “Politics is the ability to achieve purpose.” Many of the activists in the room have been frustrated by years of slow response by the city to their issues, but Street tells them the time is ripe. “We shouldn’t, with our numbers, have to be asking anyone for anything!” he tells the audience.

“When presidents come here to carry the city of Philadelphia, they have to talk to you!” he continues, his voice rising and falling as he speaks, his eyes bugging in and out of his head. “The fact that you went to prison, did time, came back rehabilitated?” the candidate says. “The playing field should be level!”

“That’s right!” people yell from their seats.

But not everyone in the room is receptive to Street’s message. Wali Smith, who heads the NAACP state prison project, stands and makes his own speech while Street leans back in his chair and listens, hands on head.

“We ain’t gonna be nobody’s meal ticket,” Smith starts, heated and angry. “Now, it’s a buzzword. Everybody do ex-offender issues,” he continues. “Ya’ll new jacks coming in, you gotta really sell us.

I ain’t gonna be with you just cause you been busted. I don’t want any Johnny-comelatelys coming in.”

Of the handful of political candidates in the room, Smith names two that he thinks are sincere. “The only person in this room I’m supporting is [Common Pleas judicial candidate] Leon King. And that young brother [At-Large City Council Candidate] Isaiah Thomas.” Notably missing from the list is Street, the would-be mast-carrier for ex-offenders. “You ain’t gonna play on all the work we done,” Smith says. “We ain’t gonna let nobody hustle us. We the hustlers!”

Milton listens attentively while a few others in the room echo Smith’s statements. “I am so pissed off that the electoral timeperiod is the only time we see you [politicians],” says Hakim Ali, a white-bearded activist who says he spent nearly 40 years in state and federal prisons. Some judicial candidates speak up to defend their motivations, but Street doesn’t respond directly to the negative comments, though he does later talk about how the concept of parole and civil restrictions on felons should be done away with. His impact on the polls May 17 will hinge on how well he can convey his message to skeptics, and how deep the city’s Nutter-resentment really runs.

Forget the prognosticators, the nostradama, the hostile forces striving to control and manipulate public opinion. Has Milton Street really tapped into the current of discontent enough to shock the circled wagons of the political and media aristocracy and unleash a whole new frame of reference on the city? We find out next week. n

Street is out to defy the odds and show the city he’s the true man of the people.

Whether Street has actually captured the imagination and support of his desired constituency remains unclear. At a March meeting with the leaders of various exoffender groups in a North Philly community center, he and candidates for other local offices make their pleas. Street, wearing a black windbreaker this night, stands and with sweeping arm gestures accentuates the grandiloquence of his words. “Let me define

Cure for what Als ya: Al Schmidt (right), candidate for the City Commissioner’s Office, working at his Mayfair office with field director Owen O’Connell.

Take Your Party and Shove It

Guess what: City Commissioner candidate Al Schmidt can—and should—win without the GOP.

By Aaron Kase akase@philadelpghiaweekly.com

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K L Y May 1 1 - 17, 2 01 1 • 10

To judge by his campaign appearances, Al Schmidt wears the same tie every day—but somehow, amazingly, it doesn’t have a stain on it. “The easy solution is to not eat mustard,” says Schmidt, a Republican candidate for the City Commissioner’s Office, the body that runs Philadelphia’s elections. In fact, he admits, he owns multiples of the same red and blue striped tie. “It’s a real glimpse into my psychopathology,” he says. “I’m the dullest person you’ve ever met.”

While Schmidt ally and Republican mayoral candidate John Featherman describes him as “a geek and a nerd,” the 39 year old’s candidacy represents the strongest thrust yet of efforts to inject potency to the city’s perpetually flaccid Republican establishment.

“The party is so starved to the bone,” Schmidt says, sitting in the back room of his Mayfair campaign headquarters while workers and volunteers pass through to use

the restroom. “It’s a different race. To be competitive on the Republican side—that’s unheard of.”

Schmidt, who has a Ph.D in political history from Brandeis University, was an analyst for the U.S. Commission on Holocaust Assets as well as for the federal Government Accountability Office. A former adviser to the state Republican Party, he also worked as executive director for the local Republican City Committee, but the relationship fell apart when factions within the party declined to support him in his unsuccessful 2009 run for City Controller. Instead, he aligned himself with like-minded Republicans in a group called the Loyal Opposition to challenge the RCC’s legacy, mostly notable for tacitly aiding Democratic political ambitions in exchange for patronage jobs at the Philadelphia Parking Authority.

If he’s to be elected, Schmidt has to get his name out to the city’s Republican enclaves,

which aren’t used to having much of a choice in the primaries. “We’re calling every day, going to doors every day,” he says, gesturing toward a map of Philadelphia with green pushpins indicating neighborhoods the campaign staff has already canvassed.

“They’ll know us by then [Election Day May 17] and they’ll know what we’re all about.”

And part of Schmidt’s appeal to voters lies in his outsider status. Currently, the establishment RCC is the subject of a grand jury investigation for “irregularities” in last year’s committee elections—i.e., voter fraud.

And the Commissioner’s Office itself has been implicated in a number of shady dealings over the decades. “It’s an office that’s comfortable being out of the public eye,” Schmidt says.

Which is why he’s been on the offensive from the start, releasing a stack of documents in December that passed through the Commission from local, state and federal officials’ offices, then later, others originating from Commissioner Anthony Clark, which show examples of prohibited political activity using public resources. He also notes that the city spends twice as much per voter for elections compared with the rest of Pennsylvania, yet gets consistently low turnout. “Voter turnout is suppressed when people don’t have confidence that their vote will count,” Schmidt says.

His main opponent for the Commission seat, RCC-endorsed four-term incumbent Joseph Duda, may well be the most mysterious man in city government. Walking slowly with a stooped shoulder, dangling a leather briefcase from one hand, Duda can sometimes be spotted during the day at the RCC headquarters in the Windsor Hotel, though party chair Vito Canuso denies that the commissioner currently serves the party in any particular capacity other than ward leader.

“There are various desks and chairs and I’m sure he sits at a desk when he wants to and can use the facilities there,” Canuso says.

Duda drives his city-owned car far more miles than can be accounted for than by his commute to work, to the tune of 1,350 gallons of fuel burned in fiscal year 2010.

Neither he nor his colleagues have filed any reimbursement forms since 2000 to account for money spent by the office. They don’t keep time sheets. Duda has ignored numerous interview requests over the past year, although his staff did send a fax outlining his alleged accomplishments and campaign positions (modernizing voting machines, increasing handicapped access, uniform financial reporting requirements

and educational programs for new voters, among others).

In the strange mechanism of the Commissioner’s race, two Republicans will pass next week’s election to compete in the fall for the three total positions, two of which are won near-automatically by Democrats.

From the perspective of the Loyal Opposition, to prevent Schmidt from advancing the RCC needs a second candidate to support in the primary, who can then step aside to let Duda win in November. First, it appeared ward leader Chris Vogler might fill the role, but he dropped out before officially filing to run. “I’m not going to move forward and run a campaign just to go through the motions,” Vogler says. Another candidate, James Mugford, was endorsed by the RCC, but dropped out earlier this spring. A third challenger, Marie Delaney, picked up the stray endorsement two weeks ago, but snorts at the idea that she’s running to lose. “[Detractors] are trying to say that to discredit me,” she says.

“When the primary’s over, it’s every man for themselves.”

Despite the lack of party support, Schmidt has earned the endorsements of the Inquirer, the Daily News, the black clergy, the housing police, the Pentecostal clergy and the firefighters union—the last two of whom have also endorsed a certain flamboyant mayoral candidate. “I never thought I’d have so much in common with Milton Street,” Schmidt laughs.

Curiously, on Duda’s original statement of financial interest for the campaign, he checked “none” on the question about direct and indirect sources of income despite the fact that he earns nearly $118,000 per year.

He also failed to note that he owns a house on the Jersey Shore under a section for real estate. Schmidt challenged the petition and Duda amended the form to correctly reflect his income and assets. “It shouldn’t be incumbent on me to determine what his sources of income are,” Schmidt says, annoyed.

In the meantime, he grapples with the narcissistic requirements of the campaign.

“Everything is the opposite of how your parents raised you—to not brag, not talk about yourself and not ask for money,” Schmidt says, glossing over the irony that those are skills most politicians excel at. “It’s never comfortable unless there’s something wrong with you.” n

“The party is so starved to the bone. To be competitive on the Republican side—that’s unheard of.”

Charles Stecker was only 4 years old when he saw his foster mother kill his 2-yearold brother Eddie, but he remembers it like it was yesterday. “[She] put my brother to bed and he was crying profusely. [Eddie] was probably in pain because he was beat up,” says Stecker, who remembers lying in a bed a few feet away as his foster mother, Lillian Bedford, placed his brother in a crib, walked downstairs and started chatting on the telephone.

Stecker watched his foster mother return to the boys’ room, agitated by what she described as Eddie’s persistent “squalling,” the Philadelphia Inquirer later reported.

“She came in our room. There was a plastic pin in the crib,” recalls Stecker, referring to a bowling pin, a part of a children’s toy bowling kit. “She picked [the bowling pin] up and swung it at him and told him to shut his fucking mouth. When she hit him she caught him in the back of his head.”

Various newspapers reported a second blow. Either way, Eddie toppled out of the crib.

“His head bounced off the floor,” Stecker says. “I jumped out of bed, went over and was holding him … I remember blood coming out of his ears and nose.”

Eddie’s brain hemorrhaged. He was dying.

As Stecker, now 48, relays the lifedefining incident, sentences flow like waterfalls, peppered with details culled from a memory bolstered by newspaper clippings, birth and death certificates that he carries around in a folder. Today, he’s also carrying a baby book with locks of Eddie’s hair Scotch-taped to a page.

“It’s horrible,” says Stecker. “Sometimes I wish I never remembered anything.”

Stecker says he held on to his brother even as his foster mom was “beating me to get me off of him.” Finally, she yanked him so forcefully the bones in his left arm

Byrne “told me several things I didn’t already know,” says Stecker. “He told me that [Bedford] never went before trial … which would explain why the court itself couldn’t find records. [Byrne] only found the investigation records. It was presented before the court, but her attorney kept having it postponed.”

“Every time after that it was that she was mentally unfit to stand trial. She never appeared in court again, he couldn’t find where she was remanded to psychiatric treatment by the court.”

One of the last articles covering the case states that on March 4, 1967, Lillian Bedford was sent to Norristown State Hospital by order of Judge Stanley M. Greenberg.

The hospital can’t, of course, confirm patients’ records due to federal law.

“Charles can’t obtain the records,” says D.A. spokeswoman Tasha Jamerson. “I know that Detective Byrne read him information over the phone but as for physically obtaining the records, that’s not something anybody can do.”

Byrne confirmed for Stecker that Lillian Bedford died on Jan. 2, 1998.

About the outcome: “It is what it is,” Stecker sighs. “All my life I had been told nothing ever happened to [Lillian Bedford], but I never fully believed it. It wasn’t a shock, I don’t have any animosity—she’s passed away. It was a bit of closure at least, finally hearing it directly from someone who saw the record. Now I know for sure.”

Now for the other puzzle piece: finding out how he and his brother ended up in Bedford’s care. Between the bits of documentation he obtained and his mother’s and father’s accounts, Stecker has tried to piece together his past, but his parents, who divorced shortly after Eddie’s death, offer conflicting versions of many events.

of course,” wrote a then 23-year-old Smith on a page reserved for her son’s “Year Two” milestone. Smith diligently recorded details such as the child’s favorite vegetables and first attempts at standing up. The book reads like the record of an attentive, loving mother.

“It seems that way, doesn’t it?” says Stecker, staring at the page. “I don’t know, maybe she was trying then.”

But the book, like the rest of the documents, doesn’t tell the whole story.

“By the time I was a year old, my [birth] mom had fractured my skull. By the time I was 2, she had knocked out a few teeth,” says Stecker. Under a page titled ‘Illnesses’ there are three fractured skull entries.

“Fell out of crib on head” is marked 4/63, “clumsiness” is marked 11/65. A third entry in different ink says “fell.”

Stecker believes the city intervened.

secret cold-case club.

In October 2008, Stecker got a gig as an “ambassador” (“AKA security,” he snorts) at the Union League, an old-school exclusive members-only club on 15th and Moravian streets, where the chic and elite meet up and a piano man plays to an empty hallway.

He wanted the job because he realized it was a rolodex of powerful Philadelphians.

“Police chiefs are in there, politicians. I thought, wow, what an opportunity!”

Stecker talked to anyone who would listen, both co-workers and guests about his experiences, his dream of helping others and his search for the missing pieces of his story. Along the way, he met many famous people: controversial former U.S. Marine Corps Officer Oliver North, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Black Hawk Down author Mark Bowden. He asked them all for help.

When he arrived at work one day in March last year, he found a sheet of Union League notepad paper on his desk.

Scribbled on it was a court docket number.

Stecker still doesn’t know who gave it to him.

“Once I got this, I’m like a pitbull, I dug into this and I wasn’t letting go. I felt like something crazy was going on, like who’s hiding what?”

A buddy in the PPD used the docket number to dig up the arrest record.

“They gave me the arrest record number of the record that the city said didn’t exist.”

Bingo.

“I took this to the city and they said they still couldn’t find the record. I said, ‘I have the arrest record number how could you say it didn’t exist?’”

Another brick wall.

But then Stecker had three chance encounters with former District Attorney Lynne Abraham. Stecker randomly met Abraham at a benefit event for victims of violence and then again at the Union League. He felt he made some progress with Abraham but then he was fired for reasons he says he is formally disputing.

“The doors were closing again,” he says. “[Then] I’m at Borders one day, and who’s standing in front of me but Lynne Abraham?” Stecker says.

She agreed to help. Abraham, who doesn’t remember Stecker—“I meet lots of people lots of places,” she says, adding that she’s “thrilled” if she was “able to help him”—referred Stecker to Ann Ponterio, attorney and chief of the Philadelphia District Attorney’s homicide division. Ponterio referred him to Detective Robert Byrne, who declined to comment for this story through a D.A. spokesperson.

“This was only three months ago,” says Stecker. “Detective Byrne calls me within 24 hours of my phone call to Ann.” “Within a week of our initial interactions, [Byrne] calls me again and has the court records,” Stecker says. “[Now] all of a sudden arrest records are found, court records found. I’m excited. Finally.”

Stecker holds up his cell phone to show the record of the call from Byrne. “I liter-

Naval Hospital Philadelphia in 1962, the first-born son of 21-year-old Marie Stecker (now Smith). His mother had a troubled childhood: Her parents died when she was 9 years old, then her grandmother died when she was 12. She was adopted by an aunt. “My life went downhill after that,” says Smith, 70, from her home in Virginia.

Smith grew up in the Strawberry Mansion section of the city down the street from Stecker’s father and namesake, Charles Joseph Stecker Sr. After running away and spending the better part of her teen years in a school for troubled girls, she married Stecker. He was a cook with the Coast Guard.

Right away they had Charles. Two years later, Edward [Eddie] John was born, followed by a baby girl named Donna. Paging through the Stecker family baby books, you wouldn’t guess the tragic turn their lives would take. The penmanship looks like a teenager’s lopsided scrawl. “Charlie, Jr. loves his brother Eddie very much. He especially likes to hold him with my help

[to the hospital with injuries] routinely,” he says.

His mother insists it didn’t happen that way; that he shouldn’t believe what the papers say because they never talked to her.

“He thinks the state took him, no they did not,” counters Smith, who says she signed him over voluntarily, though she accuses her ex-husband of tricking her into giving up custody of her first-born son.

“They put a paper in front of me and my ex-husband had already signed it,” says Smith. “I didn’t think to ask, ‘what’s this I’m signing?’ I signed my son over.”

“They said something about abuse, I said fine,” she adds. “Then it just snowballed after that.”

Smith denies beating her son. “There was an accident that happened and yes he was hurt,” she says over the phone. “Chuck had fallen and to this day I cannot remember what happened.”

When Charles, Edward and Donna first arrived in foster care, they were placed together with temporary foster parents.

Press reports indicate that on Feb. 15, 1967, Charles and Eddie were moved to the home of Donald and Lillian Bedford at 29 E. Seymour St. in Germantown. For whatever reason, Smith says, the Bedfords only wanted boys, so baby Donna stayed behind.

Don Bedford was a 45-year-old house painter; Lillian was a 42-year-old housewife. Married 13 years, they had no children of their own. The couple received $24 a week for each child.

“Social workers … introduced us to our new mommy and daddy,” recalls Stecker.

“When we went in, there were toys and a crib ready for us. It seemed like a good place to be to a 4-year-old.”

“Thirteen days later, my brother was murdered and my left arm was shattered,” he says.

Stecker extends his arm as far as it can go, about 5 inches shy of straight.

Thick dark Hebrew script is tattooed onto his forearm. It means “true servant,” a concept that summarizes Stecker’s life calling to help others. Beneath the tattooed skin, steel pins and plates hold the bones together.

Stecker recalls being terrified at the Bedford home. “When [Don] was around everything was peaceful and nice and friendly, but when he wasn’t [home] she would scare us,” he says. “If you cried, you got hit, whatever you did … it was like …

Jekyll and Hyde.”

“She would hide behind the stairs and scare us, grabbing our ankles, yelling ‘Boogeyman!’” In interviews with police after Eddie’s death, little Chuckie said his foster mother held their heads under faucets and beat them with sticks.

“You name it,” says Stecker. “Go to bed [and you’d be] ripped out of your bed. In the tub, the hot water faucets would be turned on. Evil stuff.”

Dr. Joseph Spelman, the city’s medical examiner at the time, told authorities that the bruises associated with “parental punishment” on Eddie’s body suggested that he had been “mistreated physically” for some time leading up to the fatal blow. “The report also indicated he had been struck

wants to bridge the gap. She says she hopes he finds the records, to settle some scores.

She also supports his dream of being a voice for other abused kids.

“Chuck is trying to do what he couldn’t do for himself [as a kid],” Smith says.

Philadelphia foster and adoption records from the late 1800s to 1970 are stored in urban archives section of Temple Universitys’s library. Last week, Stecker met with representatives of Turning Points for Children, the agency created when Children’s Aid Society and Philadelphia Society for Services to Children merged, requesting permission to obtain his record. In a few weeks, he’ll have another answer, but not all the answers. They will release his record to him but not Eddie’s. Donna says she “could care less.”

WWW.SANSOMSTREETGYM.COM

While Smith denies specific allegations of abuse, she will admit to the possibility of physical abuse in general terms—with the caveat that she wasn’t alone.

“What had happened at that time was not done by me alone, it was done by his father too,” she says, making the point repeatedly. Smith feels she shoulders too much of the blame from the family for everything that’s gone wrong.

Meanwhile Donna, who lives in New Jersey, believes a different version of the story. “I was put in foster care when I was two months old because basically my butt looked like raw hamburger,” she says.

She also says her father told her that her mother broke her eardrum. “I’ve never been able to hear out of it, and I’m assuming that's true,” she says. (“She’s lying,” says Smith.)

The decades-long dispute over how the Stecker children ended up in foster care— and subsequently Eddie’s death and the fallout—has poisoned the Stecker family tree.

“There’s a whole big thing going on in the family here … [It] stems back to Eddie’s death,” says Smith. “And I can’t get all the pieces together.”

Donna refuses to speak to Stecker. “[She doesn’t] like the fact that I talk about what happened.”

Donna doesn’t speak to either of her parents. Stecker visits his biological father every few months out of “obligation,” but says he can’t stand it.

“He wants to tell you about things you did wrong since the day you were born,” says Stecker. “Here’s a man divorced from my mother for 46 years and he’s still complaining about things she did when they were married. ‘Can you believe she shellacked my bongos?’ This was a few months ago!”

The family situation became “volatile” when Stecker first started posting his story on the Internet in the early days of deciding to become an advocate.

“I put the story on MySpace about five years ago and all hell broke loose.”

Stecker says Donna stopped talking to him “when I told her what I was doing with all this stuff ... [She] said I was doing everything I was doing for personal gain.”

“I know this sounds horrible but he’s been using my brother’s death for years as a means of getting attention,” says Donna.

“It was a tragedy, but he needs to let it rest.

He’s devoting his life to his brother Eddie ... I personally think it’s wrong. If this is his way of dealing with it, then he can deal with it but I said, ‘Leave me out of it. My abuse days are over.’”

Stecker didn’t see or speak to his mother for about 14 years, though they recently started communicating via text message, frequently quibbling over the details of biographical information he posts on his page.

“I said, ‘Chuck you’re making me look like trash on Facebook and I don’t like that, because that’s not he way it happened,’” says Smith.

Still, she says she supports her son and

repeatedly for a day or so before his death.”

Lillian Bedford confessed, though not right away.

According to a published account of the events, “Mrs. Bedford at first had maintained that Edward had fallen from his crib, but his brother, Charles, told them, ‘My new mommy hit him.’”

Bedford was arrested for involuntary manslaughter and assault.

Author Joe McGinniss, then a popular Inquirer columnist, wrote the only public narrative of Don Bedford’s life after his wife’s arrest.

In McGinniss’ portrait, Don Bedford staggers through his day swigging whiskey and sobbing, a broken man who loved his wife and always wanted children of his own.

“Believe it or not,” Bedford told McGinniss, “She’s a damned fine woman. And I wish you could have seen how wonderful she was with the kids. She had a nursery school class at our church and the things she did with the children there were just terrific.”

McGinniss summarized the husband’s dilemma. “It was not easy for him to decide what to do. At first he hated her. He had waited all his life for children and she had killed them when they came.”

“He could have walked out and said to hell with her and tried to find a new life, but instead he hired the best lawyer he could get.”

The Bedfords hired A. Charles Peruto Sr. A local courtroom legend, the 84-yearold retired attorney still lives in town.

Stecker says that he periodically tried to contact Peruto, and his son, Peruto Jr.—well-known for representing reputed mob boss Joey Merlino—for details of the beating death. “I was told he didn’t want anything to do with the case,” says Stecker. Turns out, Peruto simply doesn’t remember.

“You’re not telling me anything that strikes a bell,” says Peruto during a recent telephone conversation. “I tell you I stopped counting murder cases that I’ve had when I hit the magic number 333.

Otherwise, you see bodies in your sleep, for crying out loud.”

Randolph E. Wise, the Welfare Department commissioner in 1967, was widely quoted describing Eddie Stecker’s death as “the first of its kind in the history of the city’s foster parent program.”

But in April 1966, another 2-year-old died while living with the Bedfords and though murder was not proven, it should have been a big enough red flag to disqualify the couple from the foster program.

Press reports indicate that Brent “Chuck” Garcia had suffered a “severe bruise” on his scalp but “the autopsy on the Garcia boy failed to determine either the cause of death or how the child died.” Bedford claimed Garcia’s death was a result of him accidentally falling off a rocking horse.

The Medical Examiner’s Office determined it could not prove “beyond

a reasonable doubt” that the boy was murdered. A letter was sent to the Welfare Department clearing the Bedfords. They were re-registered as foster parents. The Stecker boys arrived 10 months later.

“Cleared in ’66 Case, Foster Mother Is Held in Death of 2D Child” was the headline of an Inquirer article reporting that Eddie’s death ignited a fresh look into the death of Garcia. But after that article, like with Don and Lillian Bedford, the public record trail goes cold.

“It’s regrettable,” continued Wise in the article but, he said, it was “difficult to pinpoint where we erred.”

Wise admitted that his department did not see Garcia’s autopsy report and took the medical examiner’s exoneration of the Bedfords, who passed a background check, “at face value.”

Stecker can’t get over the negligence.

“What happened to my brother is bad enough,” he says. “But the level of irresponsibility on the part of the city to put two more boys in the care of people who had a questionable record is, at best, mind-boggling.”

Stecker recalls being told about his

brother’s death while recovering at the hospital from the broken bones inflicted by his foster mom. His tiny body—he was always a small child for his age, “a peanut” he says—was encased in thick plaster casts.

“My natural father had no bedside manner. He said, ‘your brother’s dead.’ At 4, what dead meant to me, I don’t know.”

After getting out of the hospital and then rehab, four months after Eddie’s death, in June of 1967, Stecker was reunited with his sister Donna at an orphanage in the Frankford section of Philadelphia.

That August, they were placed with the Brophy family in Overbrook, where they spent five and a half “awesome” years.

“They are part of the reason I am who I am today,” says Stecker. But he had to leave. In the sixth grade, he was sent to live with the Koguts in Mayfair for a year.

Then in 1974 he was sent to St. Francis Home for Boys for two years. At the time, the program was run by Father Peter Dunne, who was later diagnosed as an

against his mother is long: She kicked him in the groin so hard he required surgery; she made him watch pornography with one of her boyfriends; she attacked a friend and broke his ankle. Smith has a response for each episode: Her son had surgery to correct a congenital defect; she doesn’t allow porn in her house and if she did it wouldn’t have been where the kids could see it; if she broke a kid’s ankle, he would’ve sued her, wouldn’t he?

“I don’t want to make my son out to be a liar,” she says. “I wasn’t the perfect parent.

At that point my frame of mind was not the way it was supposed to be.”

At 18 years old, pushed to the brink, Stecker left his mother’s house for good.

He joined the Coast Guard. As a young adult, he lived a regular-enough life: He met a woman, he fell in love, got married, had a baby, got divorced, got married and divorced again. He lived in New Jersey to be near his daughter, swearing he would never abandon her.

He tried to be a normal person, but he says the burden of his experiences shined through in small, odd ways. “It was [while] watching the news, reading the newspapers and seeing my life experiences still happening around me and feeling incapacitated to do anything,” he says. He wonders if what he witnessed affected him in ways he doesn’t realize. “I always say if I had to kill to eat, I would be a vegetarian … I don’t do dead. Me and dead just don’t work out. Maybe that stems back to what happened to my brother.”

After growing up hop-scotching through houses that were never quite homes, Stecker’s back in Philadelphia living just blocks from the demolished hospital where he was born.

This past Feb. 28, 44 years to the day

“untreatable pedophile.”

In July 1976, 13-year-old Stecker was returned to his biological mother—a bad decision he says.

“I remember the verbal abuse and threats, ‘You should have died with your brother,’” says Stecker.

Asked about this allegation, Smith loses her cool.

“That I will dispute! … I would never wish any of my kids dead. I’m a very calm person. I’ve got a bad side too that I left in Philadelphia.”

The list of allegations Stecker has

of Eddie’s death, Stecker returned to the house on Seymour Street. The owner, who knows Stecker from his planting flowers along the fence every year, let him look around inside. The house is being gutted for renovation, but the owner set the bathtub where Bedford washed the blood off Eddie aside for Stecker. He wants to use it as a planter on his lawn in South Philly.

“I felt at peace,” he says about walking through the house. “When I walked out of the house I almost felt energized, like I was 20 feet tall, to find out the ending of that portion, move on.”

Stecker’s excited about the new phase of his life. He’s in the process of getting Chahlie’s Angel up and running, then envisions a book, a movie. He’s not giving up on the paper chase, on finding the puzzle pieces that will allow him to finally view the big picture. “I’m working on getting records released to me,” he says. “I want that file … it’s just the matter of making the right friends, and I will.” Stecker says after all these years, he’s finally ready. He knows better than to expect a tidy resolution like closure or justice. All he wants is information. n

Sa Va Fashion Show Sa Va, a socially conscious boutique with responsible business practices and fair-trade raw materials, hosts a fashion show along with neighboring vendors, guest speakers and DJ Mike Mesa this week. The 1700 block of Sansom Street will transform into a catwalk where attendees can enjoy a free night out, reveling in the glory of fashion. The event is sponsored by the Career Wardrobe, an organization that assists women re-entering the workforce through a raffle. The line of threads to be featured “represent through fabric and styling the desire and pull we have to be close to nature, which is often contradicted by urban life,” says Sa Va CEO Sarah Van Aken. Instead of picking up a bargain basement deal, head over to Sansom Street and get your socially aware style on for free. lauren gordon

The Nichole Canuso Dance Company is taking its benefit to new heights this year with some big-top, fun-house flair. Far from a stuffy art event—the cabaret offers up the traditional carnie art of face painting, and its more risque cousin: body painting. Visit the mystics tent for a Tarot card or astrological reading and then participate in a Whack-a-Mole competition with a cocktail in hand. Adding to the sideshow will be a fabulous array of gypsy performers that include Nichole Canuso herself, Martha Graham Cracker and some Fancy Mummers from South Philly’s Rabble Rousers. When the barker (host Rainey Lacey) says “come on down,” slide yourself into How Philly Moves photographer JJ Tiziou’s Magic Photo Booth—after you bid on some artistfunding auction items, of course. allison KruMM

Andrew’s Video Vault Andrew Repasky McElhinney’s passion for movies hearkens back to a time before the pictures got small. Fortunately, he’s been sharing that enthusiasm with fellow film buffs as host of his very own repertory cinema series. The latest installment pairs two rarely seen movies. Too Much, Too Soon is a Diana Barrymore biopic that features Errol Flynn as John Barrymore, the father she never knew. Alcohol had reduced the rakish Tasmanian to a mere shell of his former self by the time he got to play his idol. In his autobiography, Flynn even claimed that drinking buddies smuggled the deceased trouper’s corpse into his home as a gag, which is probably more face time than the Great Profile ever gave his neglected daughter.

Less than two years after the film’s release, the former swashbuckler succumbed to hard living. Diana—no stranger to the bottle— followed shortly thereafter. The evening’s second flick, Under 18, stars Marian Marsh, who won rave reviews opposite Barrymore in Svengali. In this pre-Code melodrama, she portrays an ingénue desperately in need of cash. raYMond P. siMon 8pm. Free. The Rotunda, 4014 Walnut St. 215.573.3234. armcinema25.com

ometimes when a neglected, underrated, musical work is out there in the world, it may take a while for people to finally catch up with it. Case in point: How I Do, the debut album from singer and hometown girl Res. Released in June 2001 on MCA, Do was a challenging curio: an album full of funky/punky, boho pop from a cinnamon-sexy, dread-locked sista. You’d think since she emerged during the much-loathed, bubblegum-pop era of Britney and ’N Sync, she would’ve become a critically lauded, alt-music heroine, the same way fellow Philadelphian Santigold (who wrote most of the songs on Do) has. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, mostly because a lot of people didn’t get the album (both figuratively and literally). Thankfully, Res will be giving audiences a chance to catch up when she does a 10th anniversary concert this week, performing the whole album in its entirety. Attend the show, and see if you don’t immediately go home afterward and download that shit! craig d. lindseY

Carnivolution What better way to celebrate the only Friday the Thirteenth of 2011 than with a bunch of freaks and carnies? Having now spent five years touring the country, the Squidling Brothers are bringing their circus sideshow extravaganza back to their hometown for its seventh season. As you might expect, the evening will include live music, bizarre puppetry, elaborate costumes and plenty of jawdropping (and potentially vomit-inducing) stunts. Swords will be swallowed, steel will be bended, heavy things will be hung from nipple-piercings and all sorts of sharp objects will be inserted where they should never be.

Rest assured, these are all trained professionals. The lineup of local and traveling acts includes burlesque dancers, aerialists, human pincushions, a hula hooper, a belly dancer and Baron Von Geiger, the World’s Strangest Strong Man. Host Jelly Boy the Clown will be accompanied by his clown partner Betty Bloomerz, “The Sideshow Doll of Darkness,” and his brother Matterz Squidling, “The Impenetrable Music Man.” nicole FinKbiner 8pm. $10.

In 2009, Minneapolis-based music man Mason Jennings worked on a collection of songs about “how hard it is to be 34 and be a parent and sane and married and true and positive and yourself and a man and funny and a decent person and a not decent person and human.” Exhausting! The next obvious step is to sink into sweet nostalgia. Jennings’ newest album The Flood is just that, a collection of lost recordings found on a cassette in a box in his dad’s basement. Jennings had a listen to his former selves and decided to re-record 15 songs spanning 18

Like many schoolteachers, 30 Rock ’s Judah Friedlander spends his summer the old fashioned way: working a second job. Although known to most as his character Frank

years of his career with stripped-down production of basically just warm acoustic six-string and Jennings’ rumbling everyman vocals. The songs range from jaunty porch finger-picking of “So Many Ways to Die” and “Better Than That” to the Tom Petty-inspired vibes of “January,” and the show will be fresh full of old stuff for fans and those just getting turned on to the other Jennings.

Epic, enigmatic, encompassing—alliteration aside, these are a few words that describe the ominous sound of progressive post-hardcore masters ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead. Fans will appreciate new album Tao of the Dead, where songs like “Cover the Days Like a TIdal Wave” take ToD standards of raging guitars and pounding drums and incorporates it with cosmic keys into their patented eruption of sound, reminding us they’re still a force to be reckoned with. Frontman Conrad Keely compliments his guitar with melodic vocal riffs, making Tao an unexpected sing-along album. For all the concepts of angst, fear, and injustice ToD’s music presents to its listeners, it ultimately serves as a social commentary in the form of audio catharsis. ben rosenau 8pm. $14.

Rossitano, Friedlander has performed standup comedy for 20 years. The image he carries over from the screen is instantly recognizable in person and even more exaggerated, like watching a cartoon break into the third dimension. His trademark trucker hats and boxy glasses loom larger, his sweaty glaze a little shinier. And that’s the idea for the self-proclaimed World Champion. When Friedlander’s on stage, everything isn’t just better, it’s the best. There is no skill he hasn’t mastered, no bragging rights he has yet to earn. Friedlander smartly uses his appearance and the bravura of swaggering dimness to set his jokes up at a perfect pitch. He is a master at being both ridiculous and ridiculously funny.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.

Occasionally prone to performing in racing jumpsuits, Detroit guitar duo Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. infuse hypnotic, synthetic beats with daydreamy guitars and airy, Beach Boys-style vocal harmonies. The chance collaboration of Josh Epstein and Daniel Zott resulted in a basement-recorded EP called Horse Power, released in 2010. Early June will see the release of It’s a Corporate World, the pair’s first full length. “It’s a corporate world/ I’m a corporation, cutting back,” they spout on the LP’s title track. While enigmatic throughout, there’s plenty of tongue-in-cheek wit to go around on the record. Surely a band called Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. can’t want us to take them too seriously.

Italian Market Festival The Italian Market comes alive this week. All along Ninth Street, vendors will be selling Italian foods and artists will be featuring their one-of-a-kind creations to hoards of crowds all weekend long. There’ll be live music at three different stages rocking the streets as shops open their doors to show you their best.

The South Philly Bar and Grill will feature an authentic Italian tasting menu, specially priced shots, $5 sangrias, Italian music and entertainment, prizes and free samples from the restaurant’s new menu. Esposito’s Meats will be celebrating its 100th anniversary with a 100-foot-long stuffed sausage. When you’re done eating, watch (or participate in) the halfball tournament. The partying doesn’t end after dinner this year! BrenDa HiLLegas 10am-5pm. Free. Italian Market, S. Ninth St. italianmarketfestival.com

The Old City Business Collective is stepping outside for a day of bargain shopping for all local deal hunters. The event hopes to strengthen the Old City business community as more than 50 merchants clean out their winter closets and present you with unique deals of a lifetime.

Vendors will feature a variety of trunk shows as well as demonstrations where shoppers could meet and greet designers and artists. The Wild Bohemians will strut their stuff alongside shoppers and shop keepers will offer snacks and cocktails. Drinks, bargains and bands— sounds like a plan. LaUren gOrDOn

Philly Rocks the Trailer Park The 11th Hour Theatre Co. along with Philly Rocks is bringing their summer show The Great American Trailer Park Musical to Paddy Whacks for a special performance this week.

Philly Rocks the Trailer Park promises to make everyone feel like they live in a trailer at Armadillo Acres. The musical is filled with adultery, road kill, strippers, electric chairs, and ’80s nostalgia ... among other things. Have a few drinks and watch the cast perform tunes from the show. Wear your trashiest outfit and participate in the costume contest. There will be prizes most likely worth more than your trailer-park alter ego. Too busy to become white trash for the night? Check out the Arden Theatre this June for more performances of the musical. B.H.

Swedish pop star Lykke Li, 25, is a ballsy minx in her interviews, rattling off whatever pops in her head without cranking it through the public relations pasteurization machine that makes milquetoast out of her American counterparts.

In other words, she’s one cool bitch. “I never

Post-hardcore roared to life a couple decades ago when bands started thinking beyond the pit, adding wide-ranging experimentation to the usual blistering three-chord assault for songs both cerebral and visceral. No label better exemplified that sound than Dischord— especially their early ’90s roster that included Lungfish, Circus Lupus, Hoover, et al.—and it’s Philly’s Gods & Queens that hearken back to those bands and ably carry on the tradition.

Inside G&Q’s bag of sonic tricks: Furious guitar shrapnel, artsy and thorny post-punk melodies, waves of shoegazerish noise, opera-of-thedamned vocals, and break-your-nose rhythms.

If that’s your bag, you’ll want to see one of the area’s best bands bring it loud ’n brainy tonight.

say it, I just leave,” she mused about the end of relationships in a Lollapalooza interview. “Then pray to God they’re in a car when that heartbreak song comes on ...” Enter the dark, sinewy “Unrequited Love” of Wounded Rhymes, Li’s 2010 follow-up to 2008’s breakthrough Youth Novels. As Pitchfork points out, the elegiac Rhymes finds Li more comfortable in her musical skin. As thin as that skin is, she sounds like an artist dedicated to documenting the freefall come-down off the fantasies of youth.

She seems to instinctively know and want to furiously document the fact that, as Ally Sheedy declared so long ago in The Breakfast Club, when you grow up, your heart dies. T.M.

The spread pikilia arrives on a wooden board, and contains all sorts of wonderful surprises. The impression from the menu is that you’ve seen this collection of dips a thousand times before, and you brace yourself for the kind of mild disappointment that most hummus, tzatziki and feta-based options inspire. You accept this is a matter of course, as a sort of Greek-spread stasis.

But not at Opa. No, what you get at Opa is a trio of dips that rise above the vaguely depressing status quo: The hummus burnishes a darker shade of tan from the hefty addition of smoked paprika; the tzatzaki is mouth-watering, healthy-tasting; the tirokafteri soft and sensual, the feta base exploding with the bright heat and vivid color of red Italian frying peppers.

This is as successful and as understated an opening salvo Spread the word: The pikelia platter is not standard issue at Opa. as any Greek restaurant’s in the city right now.

The opening of a new theater goes terribly wrong in Lamplight.

Six Pack Films With Better Violent Midfilm Shifts Than Hesher

By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com

Sunrise (1928): Radically shifting gears midfilm requires a certain chutzpah—and a certain genius. Spencer Susser is not (yet) a genius, which is why the violent tonal shift in his first feature Hesher—from anarchic comedy to deep emotional drama—merely means a fun movie becomes a drag. Still, it’s no insult to say one is no F.W. Murnau. In his Hollywood debut, the German expressionist and technical pioneer begins his story telling of a country boy seduced by a femme fatale into killing his wife. When he fails, the movie shifts gears, with the marrieds reconnecting in the big, exciting city during one of the most sustained and fluid depictions of joy ever committed to cinema.

Psycho (1960): At the 47-minute mark,

something very interesting happens. I wouldn’t dare spoil it.

Something Wild (1986): Jonathan Demme is an all-inclusive, warm-hearted filmmaker, a tendency that can lead to sloppiness (The Truth About Charlie, to name but one). But it can also lead to the successful melding of contradictory tones, as it did when this neo-screwball road trip, about a business stiff (Jeff Daniels) reprogrammed by a kook (Melanie Griffith), suddenly becomes a terrifying thriller as soon as Ray Liotta’s ne’erdowell ominously runs his fingers through his hair.

Life is Beautiful (1998): OK, Roberto

Benigni is no “genius,” but his slapstick comedy that becomes a Holocaust saga is both funnier and more disturbing than its modern-day rep has it.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K L Y May 1 1 - 17, 2 01 1

Audition (2001): Flip off Takashi Miike’s masterpiece halfway through and you’d think it a subtle drama about a lonely widower tricking a stereotype of Japanese woman—pretty, mousy and obedient—into loving him. Keep watching and you may wish you hadn’t.

• 34

Tropical Malady (2004): Thai master Apichatpong Weerasethakul (late of Cannes winner Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives) takes midfilm shifts literally. In his breakthrough, a gay romance stops at the halfway mark. New credits appear. We are now watching a jungle thriller starring the same actors, only one of them is now a sort of man-tiger.

Don’t worry—it kind of makes sense.

Lucky Number 13 Samurai soldiers come out of retirement to fight for their honor in 13 Assassins.

By Sean Burns sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com 12 colorful Ronin mercenaries and honor-debt settlers, who for reasons of screen-time economy are typically painted in bold, larger-than-life archetypal strokes. The 13th warrior is rounded out by Yûsuke Iseya’s goofball big-game hunter and impromptu forest guide, carving some delicious, rambunctious ham in a deliberate throwback to Toshiro Mifune in Akira Kurosawa’s The Seven Samurai.

Of course Kurosawa looms large over 13 Assassins. Miike’s clean frames and elegant compositions are an obvious homage to The Master, yet weirdly enough there are even more DNA samples from Sam Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch, my personal favorite movie of all time and perhaps the reason watching this thing hit such a sweet spot.

Shinzaemon’s pursuit of that dastardly Naritsugu is complicated by the presence of Hanbei (Masachika Ichimura), the worthless heir’s sworn bodyguard and our hero’s childhood friend. Mirroring the complex push-pull between former amigos William Holden and Robert Ryan in Shinzaemon's 13: The swordsman rounds up 12 of his fellow Peckinpah’s towering masterpiece, 13 Assassins sets worthy, samurais for one last battle.

AARP-ready adversaries against one another on an arduous chase that soon becomes a battle of wits, while both are sadThe maddeningly prolific Takashi Miike has helmed more dled with unarmed compatriots. Their fundamental moral than 50 films, and he’s probably already directed another disagreement over the samurai code and subservience to the one in the time since I sat down to start writing this review.

Best known as the bad-boy of extreme Asian cinema, Miike’s master versus The Greater Good echoes The Wild Bunch’s immortal one-liner: “It’s not your word that counts; it’s who notorious Audition scarred a generation for life, and his gonzo Ichi The Killer singlehandedly cured my best friend of you give it to!”

Of course this can all only end one way, and Miike does squeamishness—much in the way climbing Mount Everest not disappoint. The final 45 minutes of 13 Assassins consists might conquer your fear of heights.

Yet the shock and delight of 13 Assassins comes from what of one single, astonishingly staged set-piece in which a very unlucky podunk farm town becomes an elaborate booby a classical, throwback samurai adventure picture it turns trap for Shinzaemon’s baker’s dozen versus what appears out to be. Much in the same way those snarky Coen Brothto be the entire Japanese army. (“Great. Only 130 more ers subverted their subversive reputations by playing things of them to go,” one samurai mutters after a particularly (relatively) straight with True Grit, 13 Assassins allows the amazing slaughter.) Eschewing all the quick-cut, close-up filmmaker’s penchant for transgressive, anything-goes slo-mo that has become too fashionable in action pictures filmmaking to color in the margins of a defiantly old-school, of the past 20 years, Miike shoots the ripping yarn. ever-escalating mayhem in retro wide Remaking a 1963 film by Eiichi Kudo, and medium shots, granting a welcome Miike indulges in modern-era gross for 13 Assassins spatial coherence to the extraordinary only the first reel or so.

Wedding Belles

Kristen Wiig and Wendi McClendon-Covey say Bridesmaids is not the female version of The Hangover.

By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com

One of the criminally few, female-centered blockbusters this summer season is Bridesmaids, which stars SNL MVP Kristen Wiig (who co-wrote with fellow Groundlings alum Annie Mumolo) as a single 30-something whose life gets worse as her best friend (Maya Rudolph) preps for a splashy wedding. The inclusion of raunch (and an R-rating) has yielded (erroneous) comparisons to The Hangover, but it’s more a character study, albeit a consistently comical one. Wiig, along with Reno 911 alum Wendi McClendon-Covey, who plays a fellow bridesmaid, talked to PW during a 16-hour pit-stop in Philly. (Read our review of Bridesmaids on Page 36.)

Did you set out from the start to make a female-centered comedy?

Kristin Wiig: “It wasn’t like we were making a statement. We didn’t specifically write this story in response to other movies, or movies that hadn’t been made.”

Wendi McClendon-Covey: “It wasn’t contrived.

It was like, ‘Oh, this is a funny story.’ It happened to have a lot of women in it. It wasn’t a big feminist statement.”

Some of the buzz surrounding Bridesmaids is that it’s The Hangover for girls.

KW: “A lot of people right now are saying that because a lot of people are saying it. I am flattered at the comparison, but they’re very different movies. I don’t want people to think we wrote this in response—that we saw The Hangover and thought, ‘Let’s write this for women.’”

Judd Apatow produced, and like all his productions, Bridesmaids seems strongly collaborative. How true is the assumption that the script is a mere blueprint, or has many set places for improv from the actors on the set?

Most comedies exist in a bubble, but Bridesmaids acknowledges the real world.

Annie is a victim of a bad economy and has a crippling fear of being left behind as friends “grow up.” Was that culled from your own life?

KW: “No, not specifically from me. It’s about the stage in one’s life when you don’t know what you want to do.

You’re a little lost, and you’re in your 30s, and maybe all your friends seemingly have it together. You start to feel, ‘What’s wrong with me?’”

WM-C: “And as actors, it’s such an uncertain thing, when you’re first trying to get your big break. Something it doesn’t happen on your time table, so you feel like Annie felt and you’re like, ‘OK, I’ve got to go to my reunion next week.’”

KW: “‘I’m the crazy one living in L.A.!’” [laughs] MC-W: “‘I’m the one wearing shoes I colored in with a sharpie because I can’t afford new ones!’ I think we’ve all felt that way.”

Not a lot of comedies—or movies in general really—are primarily cast with women.

KW: “Yeah, which is too bad. It shouldn’t be rare.

Hopefully that will change.”

Do you find it’s getting better?

WM-C: “It seems like it’s happening in television more. With The Big C and Weeds and Nurse Jackie.

Those are all very strong female characters. I think it is leaking over into the movie industry. But female screenwriters need to make their voices heard, and push for their stuff. Like these ladies did. You have to be able to work like the boys, and these ladies could.”

KW: “And we have tiny penises.” [laughs] n

What is it like performing on a film set as opposed to, say, working on a stage or a live TV show, where you get to feed off the energy of an audience?

KW: “It is a different thing because you don’t know if it’s funny when you’re doing a movie. You don’t have that live audience. That’s why when you see the movie for the first time with an audience, it’s kind of terrifying. You’ll watch something and think, ‘Oh, this is that scene. Remember we were laughing really hard?’ And then silence. Or the opposite, where we weren’t even thinking about something and it’s the biggest laugh in the movie. You just can’t tell.”

KW: “No, we had a script. We shot the script. We shot it a bunch of different ways.”

WM-C: “If we had time, we improvised. What Judd imparted to Kristin and Annie was that they’re not done writing until the last day of shooting. If someone thinks of something funnier, it’s going in.”

KW: “And we did a lot of writing during the shooting.”

WM-C: “They filmed all our rehearsals. And they would write transcripts of our rehearsals, and give those to us. So, we had a lot of stuff to choose from as actors.”

Reviewed by Sean Burns Sorry gals, we understand that it’s supposed to be your special day and all, but weddings are absurdly expensive. They’re also a pain in the ass.

That’s the bittersweet truth behind Bridesmaids, an erratic and strangely moving comedy co-written by and starring Saturday Night Live’s Kristen Wiig.

The movie is a bit messy and way too long. But it’s also grounded in an economic reality that few mainstream comedies dare address.

Granted, Wiig is annoying as hell on SNL, pulling the same improv-group faces in nearly every sketch. But Whip It, Adventureland and even the lousy Paul proved that she’s terrific in movies. Given more than five minutes to mug for the camera, she’s shockingly adept at creating well-rounded characters. Here, she stars as a talented pastry chef who finds herself broke, middleaged and staring down the engagement of her best friend (fellow SNL vet Maya Rudolph.) The screenplay (penned by Wiig and Annie Mumolo) is particularly perceptive with regard to the way marriage can alter longterm friendships. You might

be very happy for someone, and also still sad that you’re not going to see them very often anymore.

Director Paul Feig proved with the short-lived but longlamented Freaks And Geeks that he’s got an uncommon sense of empathy when it comes to his fucked-up characters. I’m surprised it took him this long to make the jump to feature films.

(Let’s just pretend his Unaccompanied Minors never happened.) Alas, Feig’s old producer, Judd Apatow, is on board as well, and I’m not sure Bridesmaids benefits from his influence. The movie occasionally stops dead in its tracks for raunchy, scatological set-pieces

“THE SPECTACULAR JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT IS THE ID RUN RAMPANT.

YOU CAN’T TAKE YOUR EYES OFF HIM!”

that are hardly necessary, like when an unfortunately distended food-poisoning sequence leads to all sorts of vomiting and diarrhea and feels like a desperate attempt for something to put in the trailer.

Still, these are minor speedbumps in a movie that has a lot on its mind, and a muted sadness at its core. Wiig’s character is granted depth and accountability rarely seen in female leads, and I honestly could’ve watched an entire picture just about her and a local beat cop (wonderfully played by Chris O’Dowd) attempting to navigate their new, unsteady relationship.

Wiig proves she can carry a movie, and Feig has finally gotten around to directing a real one. Hopefully next time they’ll ditch the crass interludes and shoot one from the heart.

Hollywood, turning instead to a series of small, challenging and, alas, not very good indie art films. Cracks is another film admirable in theory and blah in execution, even if it re-proves that its leading hottie can act.

Green plays Miss G, the flowery, charismatic swimming instructor at a remote English boarding school in the 1930s. Her pupils adore her, none more than Di (Juno Temple), for her syllabus includes more than mere diving: She exposes them to fashion, controversial books and other wonders of the world outside their lush, pastoral digs. Into their fold comes someone who, unlike Miss G, is truly world-traveled: Spanish blueblood Fiamma (Maria Valverde). And that’s when this educator, who already always seems to be acting, hammily, for her impressionable charges, unravels.

The feature debut of Jordan Scott, daughter of Ridley and niece to Tony, Cracks deserves credit for tackling the underexplored subject of teenage female sexuality.

But Scott, who co-adapted Sheila Kohler’s novel, never goes far enough. She tries to meld The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie with Picnic at Hanging Rock, but it’s never as insightful as the former and not technically capable enough to mimic the latter.

At least Green does strong work, never telegraphing her character’s madness and achieving one moment at the end worthy of silent cinema acting. Even better, Temple scores another dynamo performance, following Greenberg and Kaboom. Watch this girl. (Read our interview with Eva Green online at philadelphiaweekly.com) n

Dig Doug

Ribald standup comedian Doug Stanhope has a way of cutting to the heart of the matter.

By Brian McManus

bmcmanus@philadelphiaweekly.com

Ladies and Germs, Brutal Honesty has a name. It’s Doug Stanhope. He’s from Arizona, and has been a traveling standup comedian for more than 20 years, at which time he’s spewed his unique brand of uncompromised vitriol over countless audiences. He has a new standup album/DVD out, Oslo—Burning the Bridge to Nowhere. Why’d he record in Norway?

“Because I’m washed up!,” he says to the crowd. “You guys get everything 10 years after it was popular.”

Brutal Honesty. This week, Stanhope brings his hysterical act—think Bill Hicks/ Lenny Bruce-style blood-soaked truth-to-power—to the Trocadero. PW caught up with Stanhope during his last tour for an interview that never ran in print. We run it here, now, for your pleasure, as Stanhope riffs on the difference between American and European audiences, people’s insistence on recording everything with their cell phones, and the best advice he ever got.

On doing comedy shows in rock clubs/bars, as opposed to comedy clubs: “It’s more of where I belong. It’s where I started doing comedy—one-nighters in barrooms in shithole towns where that was considered their comedy club, where every Tuesday some guy from Spokane will come in and tell dick jokes. Comedy clubs always felt like movie theaters. People come in and they sit there and they know they’re gonna be there for 90 minutes. They listen and they leave. Barrooms have a sense of chaos where you’re talking to people who were sitting at the bar before you showed and they’ll be sitting at the bar after you leave.

It just has more adrenalin to it, more of a feeling of anything can happen.

“I have my fan base now, but when I first started doing this there was risk financially, not knowing if people were gonna show up. But after experimenting through it we know we’re gonna do better at a rock ’n’ roll club. The risk I don’t have any more is a group of bachelorettes coming in thinking all comedy’s the same, like they’re at a comedy club where they treat it like it’s an adult Chuck E. Cheese for all occasions, and they come in for an anniversary or a company Christmas party and they’re being barraged with fist-fuck rape jokes.

“There are times I really miss that though. It does get dull preaching to the choir. I think I’m gonna start working a few more comedy clubs just for fun and so my audience doesn’t get too incestuous. Bring in some fresh meat from the comedy clubs and bring a few dark ones out of the improv mailing list.”

On the best advice he ever got from a fellow comedian: “The

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K L Y May 1 1 - 17, 2 01 1

best advice I ever got was ‘Never give anyone advice because all you’re doing is telling them how to be like you.’ And it’s absolutely true. I would’ve told Dane Cook to quit and go sell shoes because he’s not funny. Had we met at an open mic 10 years ago I would’ve told him to hang it up.”

On people filming his shows with their cell phones, and uploading them to the Internet: “YouTube could really fucking

• 38

ruin standup comedy. It really could.

Just in the fact that, it’s not like music, comedy’s only funny once. A good comic will take a year to put out a new CD or DVD to get a full hour. And that’s if you’re working hard. And if at every show there’s some douchebag with a cell phone camera putting shit on YouTube—I’ll have people in Baltimore yelling out jokes I did in D.C. the night

before. It could be brand new jokes. Videos on YouTube, for comedy, it’s like they’re giving away the ending of the movie.

If you go see a band, Green Day, and you record them on your phone, it’ll be shitty quality and the sound will be shitty. But you can do that with Green Day because people just want to hear the songs. You hear the joke when it sounds like shit and it looks like shit, and now you’ve already heard the joke. It doesn’t come across the same way as it would live, but you already know how the joke goes so it doesn’t entice you to see the person.

“I probably have 15 minutes of material to use for fucking people with cell phones filming me trying to find a way to get them to fucking stop. You’re here! Put the fucking phone down and experience it. ‘I like a live performance, but I think I’d prefer it later on on a laptop all grainy.’ It’s hurt my comedy—the privacy of it. You’re in a dark room with drunk people. I can tell you anything, I used to fucking be able to say anything on stage. And now, every show there’s a prison snitch with a cell phone camera filming you. Say I was doing Ecstasy with my buddy Billy last night. Well, if I’m in whatever Pine Top Nowhere and people know Billy is my friend and he’s a fireman and they know we were hanging out that night—you’re ratting someone else out. I can’t tell you about my sister’s girlfriend who’s a bitch. You’ll put it on YouTube and my sister’s girlfriend will find it.

“And another way that cell phone cameras just destroy the atmosphere is it’s live and it’s in the moment and it’s temporary. When people are fucking recording it ... immediately you just see these fucking tourists of life, you know, you’re here fucking live, man, and you’re staring at me through a lens on a cell phone.”

On doing The Man Show: “It just definitely put all the cliches you hear about television into crystal-clear perspective for me about how much networks fuck up comedy. You have a funny idea, and you say ‘OK, this is funny enough and we can do it and here’s our idea.’ And then the writers’ room passes it around, adds some things, takes some things away, and they send it to the executive producer. He scratches a little bit off and sends it to the network. Comedy Central people scratch a little bit off and then the censors get a hold of it. It’s like if you had a painting, and you say ‘This is a really nice painting. I painted it. Here it is.’ And then every single person associated with the painting had to sign it—the person who made the canvas, the delivery service who shipped the canvas, everyone who was involved with making the paint. Get far enough along and you can’t even see the painting anymore. Everyone’s fucked with it. And the lawyers fucked up more than censors. ‘Oh we can’t do that, we could get sued.’

“Standup comedy really spoils you as far as being lazy, and being ... I hate to say being an artist, because that sounds so pretentious. But, really, I work an hour, I have some cocktails, I tell people to go fuck themselves, and I do anything I want the way I want to do it. I can do it in a different city every night and I can change it and there’s no one there to say anything or change anything. The only thing I have to worry about is whether or not people laugh.”

On the differences between American and European audiences: “They’re smarter in Europe. They’re more polite, and you have to try harder. It’s harder to just let loose and talk because you, consciously, you get four minutes into a rant and realize the payoff has nothing to do with them and they’re not going to get the reference and this is completely America-centric and you think ‘Ah fuck, this is gonna go nowhere.’ I have to prepare a lot more [for European audiences], and I really hate being stuck to a set list.” n Doug Stanhope performs Fri., May 13, 9pm. $24.

Man Man Search for Meaning on Life Fantastic

By Elliott Sharp

feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

In Viktor Frankl’s 1946 book, Man’s Search For Meaning, he reflects on his experiences as a Nazi concentration camp inmate and Life Fantastic makes a case for “tragic optimism,” claiming humans benefit from remaining optimistic even when facing the worst tragedies. Such tragedies, Frankl argues, can lead to positive change and the creation of more meaningful ways of living; they require optimism, not despair.

A fitting subtitle for Man Man’s new album, Life Fantastic, would be “Man Man’s Search for Meaning.” Surging throughout this fourth studio release—out this week on -ANTI, it’s the Philly band’s first since 2008’s Rabbit Habits—is the spirit of tragic optimism. After suffering a near-fatal motorcycle accident (which he references on “Dark Arts”), and nomadically traversing cities while dealing with the deaths of friends and relationships, frontman Ryan “Honus Honus” Kattner took every fucked-up dish life crammed down his throat and transformed the maggoty bits into a life-affirming, celebratory musical odyssey.

On album opener “Knuckle Down,” an attempt at restarting a failed relationship turns him into “the type of man I despise,” and he dives into hell to seek advice from the devil. On “Piranhas Club,” he explores outlets for coping with the world’s never-ending “shitshow”: “If you gotta smash some plates to relax/ I say do it da da da da da do it.” He

goes on to recommend driving a car into a lake, screaming until your voice breaks and dancing until the earth quakes.

On “Dark Arts,” he huffs glue and wine, chases lovers named after hurricanes, bangs his head and has a vision quest in which he rides a giant talking bat. “My friends are either breeding, dying, or losing all their marbles trying,” he howls before asking “How the fuck did I live this long, this way?”

This sentiment returns on “Shameless,” leading to an important realization: “I spent too many nights without ever thinking maybe I’m a wrecking ball and I’m breaking all that I’m touching.”

Lyrically, it’s Kattner’s finest work: Each line’s a clever construction built on sincerity and snarling wit. The same goes for the music, as Man Man once again deliver compositions that dynamite genre-walls and sound nothing like their contemporaries.

Their signature multi-instrumental and polyrhythmic funhouse swirl returns with dangerous intensity, but with more precision—guided they were by indie producer extraordinaire and fourth member of Monsters of Folk, Mike Mogis—as they adventurously weave between Balkan punk, calypso, 8-bit NES warbles, big band blowouts, surf-pop, South African highlife, ecstatic handclap anthems, and, on “Steak Knives,” a heart-wrenching ballad reminiscent of Hank Williams Sr.’s “Ramblin’ Man.” Despite swimming through a sea of life’s nastiest shit, it seems Kattner’s returned from the depths, not as a monster, but a wiser man. By reaching into the tragic void with an optimistic grin, Man Man have pulled out their strongest album so far.

When Kattner sings “Life fantastic, life so tragic” on the title track, the emphasis is clearly on fantastic. n

Crash Test Dummies o one has much patience for you when you’re not “winning.” For those N huMMMing Canucks Crash Test Dummies, the brief ubiquity offered by their ’93 hit was soon greeted like Rick Springfield’s county fair appearances—with momentary incredulity and overwhelming indifference. It’s a shame because the backlash obscured some decent music. While frontman Brad Roberts’ booming bass gets all the attention, but keyboardist Ellen Reid offers sweet harmonies and occasional leads are just as great. Known for the supple acoustic sound of their breakout God Shuffled His Feet, subsequent albums vary widely from atmospheric electronica to orchestral swells, soul-based shimmy, and stripped-down trio. The quirky lyrics are unjustly singled out for self-conscious idiosyncrasy when they should be credited for preferring existential pondering to dime-a-dozen romantic pandering. They’re not Neil Young, but their smart, often adventurous music deserves a better fate than Deep Blue Something. (Chris Parker)

CONTINUE ON PG 43

You know, when I came out to my parents in 1981ishwhateversomething, telling my mom and dad that I was gay didn’t just mean telling them I liked to kissandotherstuff to boys. It meant telling them I would never marry, never have children and never be a marine. Or at least that’s what I thought I was telling them. But here we are, three short decades later and I’m married. And I have a child. And now I can be a marine. (Not that I want to be a marine—well, not anymore. After seeing a pic of a shirtless Navy Seal in last week’s New York Times, I want to be a Navy Seal.)

And I live in Seattle, where the weed is awesome (I’m told), the weather is great (if you like to snowboard), and the boy I marriedandkissandotherstuff is a lotta hot guy all by himself.

I agree with you, MG. Things are good.

Things have gotten better—and not just for me.

But we have work left to do. We have our full civil equality to secure, homo- and transphobic violence to confront, bigoted lawmakers to defeat (hey there, Rick!). But the discrimination and challenges we face shouldn’t prevent us from appreciating the good things. Yes, it has gotten better. That doesn’t mean we can ignore the bashings (tinyurl. com/42lqr55) and outrages (tinyurl.com/27ugxtz) and tragedies (tinyurl.com/3lk5h3l). But we shouldn’t be so in love with our victimization—or so insecure about our progress—that we can’t acknowledge the triumphs (tinyurl.com/3uzulpr) and joys (tinyurl.com/2g3pwry) and Navy Seals (tinyurl.com/68xol6p).

So I’m with you, MG—up to a point.

I disagree about the STFU part. You don’t have to hang out with the kind of LGBT activists who aren’t capable of fighting the good fight—fighting for their civil equality and mine and yours—while also appreciating all the good things about their lives. Not all LGBT activists are humorless scolds. Some are, for sure (and they tend to be overrepresented on college campuses), but there are plenty of people out there who can organize a protest one night and a good party the next.

Guys like you and me, MG, people who have it pretty good, have to remember that there are LGBT folks out there who have it lousy and not all of them are in a position to speak up for themselves. Let me see if I can think of an example … OK: There are bullied and isolated and abused LGBT kids out there who don’t live in places like Bellingham or Seattle, who don’t have the love and support of their parents, and who aren’t “doing fine.” If we don’t speak up for isolated and bullied LGBT kids, who will? (For the record: There are lots and lots and lots of

loved and accepted LGBT kids out there, too— not all LGBT kids are miserable—who are doing fine and fighting for their own rights and the rights of other LGBT kids.)

We don’t have to mope. We don’t have to pretend that we feel oppressed 24/7. And we don’t have to attend pointless queer events that are run by LGBT whiners who mistake wallowing in self-pity for activism. You’ll find, once you get out of college, that most of us aren’t moping, pretending, or attending. Most of us are getting on with our lives and doing fine.

But, again, not all LGBT people are doing fine, MG, just as not all LGBT people are white or upper-class or in college or lucky enough to live in Bellingham. If you’re in a position to do something, MG, you should. You don’t have to do everything. Make your contribution. It doesn’t have to take over your life, and you don’t have to pretend to be any more oppressed than you actually are. But you should do something.

Remember: The only thing more annoying than a whiny, college-age queer with a persecution complex is a smug, college-age queer who takes his good fortune for granted and couldn’t give a shit about other people because, hey, he’s got his (his weed, his boys, his education).

I’m a 26-year-old lady who just broke up with a man I thought I wanted to marry. We had incredible, playful sex, were very kind to each other, are both a little queer, and share many interests in spite of our 20-year age difference.

Six months into our relationship, I moved to a bigger city four hours away, and we could see each other only every other weekend. Because of our careers, it wouldn’t be possible for us to live in the same place again for at least two or three years, maybe more. That was one reason I broke up with him. I also feared that he needed to be with a man—even though he loves me to sit on his face. He’s definitely bi, but he’s never been with a man. I am, too, but having had girlfriends makes me comfortable knowing that I mostly want to be with men. Part of me is excited to be free to explore my new city on my own and trusts I made a mature decision. Part of me thinks I really fucked up to let go of a kind, fun—if slightly flawed (but they all are)—relationship. What do you think?

Drowning My Sorrows In Glee

I think it’s a wonderful thing to be 26, bi, single, employed, and living in a big city. I think that a guy who’s single, bi, and amazing in bed at 46 is likely to be single, bi, and amazing in bed at 48.

(No guarantees, of course.) You should enjoy the next couple of years, DMSIG, and then revisit the issue of Mr. Wonderful if and when you two or circumstances conspire to put you in the same place again.

I have to take you to task for your answer to Sent From My iPhone. In your answer, you compared condoms and withdrawal as methods of birth control. As a former Planned Parenthood volunteer educator, I will tell you that, like withdrawal, condoms alone are NEVER a recommended form of birth control. To compare these two “methods” is a little irresponsible. In fact, condoms alone weren’t even on our list of birth control methods. The good news is that condoms PLUS spermicide were on that list. When used together and properly, condoms and spermicide are almost as effective as the pill in preventing pregnancy.
