Word on the Street Based on the Boston Marathon bombings, should there be more security during outdoor public events? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Security should be increased everywhere. There are terrorists living all over, and you have got to watch out. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fight like real men used to in World War II.â&#x20AC;? Joe Ford, Fifth and Porter streets â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we have no choice but to increase security given the recent events. Any event with large crowds of people should draw a lot of security.â&#x20AC;? Rosemary Livotti, 12th and Morris streets â&#x20AC;&#x153;We definitely need to increase security now. It is not like it was years ago when I was not afraid to sit on my front step. Now, I have to take my cane with me wherever I go just in case.â&#x20AC;? Mary Breccia, Sartain and Mifflin streets â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of elegant people in this city, and I think increased security is the only way to protect them. When I was young, we would sleep outside and keep our doors unlocked, but not today.â&#x20AC;? Darryl Davis, 20th and Federal streets

And justice for all? To the Editor: I have been working on this article for quite a while, and I was not sure if it was appropriate to go forward with it because I was getting ready to send it when the Boston attack occurred. So, with all due respect to anyone associated with this horrific tragedy or any other form of violence, you have my deepest sympathy. However, I felt compelled to see this through. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t added anything. This is the way it was originally written. It seems to me that our country has to be attacked in some way before anyone reacts. We suffer a terrorist attack or a massacre in a school or mall and only then does our government retaliate. Our schools that at one time were respected as a sacred ground have since become a battlefield in which we need armed guards. I am very tired of hearing what is going to be done so that this kind of tragedy never happens again. It is the responsibility of our government leaders to address the matters of extreme violence before it becomes too late. We need to have a much stronger security system to possibly prevent these violent, senseless acts from happening in the first place. I feel that the scales of justice have been toppling over to protect the rights of the criminal rather than the law-abiding victim. I cannot understand why gun laws were not more harshly enforced long before now. While protecting our second-amendment rights, it is allowing weapons to be put into the hands of hoodlums, psychopaths and madmen. I sometimes wonder if we have become too civilized. Some obviously mistake this for weakness. There has go to be stronger examples set for the crimes committed against us, so that we can someday feel safe again and not live in constant fear. In the end, a convicted murderer has a chance for life instead of death. Unfortunately, their victims never had that choice. Debra Russino South Philadelphia

Building history To the Editor: I read with increasing interest and excitement, the letter from William J. Kerr of Williamstown, N.J. (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chilled with memories,â&#x20AC;? April 18) where he described his father working at Abbotts Dairies at Third and Lombard. My husband and I have owned the Abbottsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Alderney Dairies complex at 17th and McKean streets in Newbold since 2000, and we have been actively trying to research its history. We have combed through the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historical photographic archives, but have been unable to unearth any relevant photos. Since then, we have been trying to tease memories from some older neighbors in the area. We do know that the front

building was a retail store that sold milk and dairy products and that the rear portion (which extends all the way to Mifflin Street) was the stables for the horses that drew the milk-delivery carriages. It was built at the turn of the century, sometime between 1890 and 1912 and the building itself is ornate and beautiful with carved granite ornamentation on the facade. The words â&#x20AC;&#x153;Abbotts Alderney Dairiesâ&#x20AC;? is carved in granite on the McKean Street facade. The brickwork is laid in a Flemish style in a herringbone pattern. The front building is more than 10,000 square feet and the rear building is more than 30,000 square feet. There also is an original cobblestone courtyard on Colorado Street that Abbotts Dairies apparently purchased from the City. The street was turned into a

dead end and it is now a quaint, sun-dappled cobblestone courtyard that we have been trying our best to landscape. We also have been trying to return the building to its original grandeur, albeit slowly in the face of the recession. We would truly appreciate it if the citizens of South Philadelphia could churn through their memories and any photographs that they may have. We would like to synthesize a small exhibit area comprising oral histories and photographs because every person who visits our building is intrigued with its history.

he man many knew from his University City fruit stand died from multiple knife wounds, but the motive of the attack remains unclear as does the perpetrator’s identity. Don Ly, 68, of the 400 block of Vollmer Street — situated between Porter and Shunk streets — was stabbed multiple times in his neck, torso and right arm at 5:09 a.m. April 18, Officer Jill Russell of the Public Affairs Unit said. He was pronounced dead 22 minutes later at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. “It is very unjust and undeserving to all that is goodness in the world that his life ended so suddenly and violently,” his son, Leeto Ly, said in a guest column in The Daily Pennsylvanian, the college newspaper at University of Pennsylvania where Don Ly operated a fruit stand since 1995. More than 20 years ago the Ly family sold its vegetable farm and plantation in South Vietnam to come to the United States where all four of his children have graduated from college, Leeto Ly said. Ly’s killing is not believed to have been a robbery, according to published reports where Homicide Capt. James Clark indicates the victim’s jewelry and wallet remained when his body was discovered. “Perhaps my father was a saint and he died to take away the killer’s sin,” Leeto Ly said. “Or it must have been Death itself to come and take my father’s life because his time on earth has ended. ... If there is any justice left on earth, my mother is crying her heart out for it.” To report information, call Homicide Division at 215-686-3334, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

It’s not the mailman Police are warning resident to take necessary precautions to prevent burglars from accessing their home via their mail slot. Four break-ins have occurred in the 3rd District within the last two weeks where the intruder or intruders have removed the mail slot, opened the front door and burglarized the dwelling, police said. Each incident has happened between 5 and 6:10 a.m. while the residents were home asleep. The latest happened in East Passyunk Crossing. A 33-year-old woman secured her home on the 1900 block of South Sartain Street at 11 p.m. and tried to go to sleep,

Detective Danielle Tolliver said. Upon having trouble dozing at 3:30 a.m., she watched a video on her iPhone and soon feel back to sleep. Two hours later, she awoke and noticed her cell phone was gone. She headed downstairs and saw her first floor was ransacked and realized her 32-inch Insignia Plasma TV and Kindle Fire tablet also were missing. Unable to call 911 without her cell phone, she went to a neighbor’s residence at about 8:18 a.m. to call police, Tolliver said. Similar burglaries occurred on the 700 block of South American Street in Queen Villlage at 5 a.m. April 11, the 1000 block of Cross Street in Passyunk Square at 6:10 a.m. April 17 and the 700 block of Mountain Street in East Passyunk Crossing at 5:58 a.m. April 17, according to police, who have released a description of a possible suspect: Black male, in his early 30s, 6-foot-3, 150 pounds; having a light mustache and beard; wearing a gray sweatshirt, black pants, black T-shirt, gray baseball hat; and may have been riding a bicycle. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Fire fatalities Two residents died in separate area fires in back-to-back weeks. At 8:31 p.m. Monday, a fire broke out in a two-story rowhome on the 500 block of Watkins Street in Dickinson Square West, Executive Chief Richard Davison said. Within 22 minutes the fire was under control. During the investigation, firefighters discovered an adult male who was pronounced dead at the scene. A week earlier at 4:10 p.m., the fire department responded to a two-story residence on the 2100 block of Pierce Street, Davison said. The blaze was contained within 18 minutes, but personnel found an elderly woman who died in the front room of the first floor. Both fires were contained to the first floor of the respective buildings, Davison said. The cause of each blaze is still under investigation. Following both fatalities, firefighters distributed a Home Fire Safety Checklist and other fire-prevention materials, and installed smoke detectors in surrounding homes through the department’s Fire Fatality Program. “Smoke alarms are the best form of pro-

‘Masseuse’ arrested

A West Passyunk pharmacy was held up for drugs Tuesday afternoon. The 52-year-old owner of Rosica Pharmacy, 2065 Snyder Ave., was working behind the counter at 4 p.m. Tuesday when he heard someone say, “Give me all the percs,” Detective Danielle Tolliver said. He looked up to see an unknown man holding a small, black handgun to his face, so he handed over an unknown amount of Percocet to the gunman, who then insisted he give him cough syrup as well. Upon receiving his second request, he ordered the employed and two other individuals in the store to get on the ground. The offender fled on foot northbound on 21st Street, Tolliver said. He was described as black; in his mid-20s to early-30s; 5-foot-11 to 6-foot-1; thin; having short, dark-colored hair and an unkempt beard; and wearing a zip-up gray hoodie with dark-colored drawstrings, dark blue jeans, a gray belt and dark-colored shoes. Earlier this year, there were three pharmacy raids — Bertolino’s Pharmacy, 1500 S. 12th St., Feb. 11; Zevin’s Drug Store Inc., 800 McKean St. Feb. 25; Walgreens, 2655 S. 10th St., March 6 — that police believe the same pair committed. Police have not yet indicated if the most recent heist is linked to the previous three where two offenders stole cash, cigarettes and drugs, such as Adderall, Percocet and Oxycotin. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

A Newbold woman, who advertised “massages,” was arrested for prostitution. The Citywide Vice Unit conducted a “back page” ad investigation in which an undercover officer called the number on a massage advertisement, according to police. A woman, who identified herself as “Kendra” made an appointment with the caller at a dwelling on the 1400 block of Snyder Avenue. When the undercover officer arrived at the location and went inside, Louis Woodward, 25, of that block, allegedly Louis Woodward offered to perform oral sex for $200. The undercover officer alerted backup. Woodward was arrested and charged with promoting prostitution and solicitation, according to court records.

A mellow Othello A notable actor helped Lower Moyamensing high school students to prep for upcoming performances. ■ By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

orrest McClendon must manage mostly morbid feelings to play Othello, one of literature’s most conicted characters, but loves levity far more. The Tony Award nominee and Barrymore Award winner let lighter sentiments take center stage April 17 during a workshop with sophomores at South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St. With his and teaching artists’ tutelage, the learners will present their pieces twice next week, including a performance at The Philadelphia Shakespeare Theatre, where McClendon is portraying the tragic figure. “The play has such weighty, heavy elements to it that a day like this helps us to reinforce that there’s always a grain of comedy in works like it,” the lauded actor said of his stop at the Lower Moyamensing institution. “Needless to say, they’re ready to blow it up.” The 20 second-year pupils are working with him through The Othello Project, an initiative uniting the Center City playhouse and the neighboring Philadelphia Young Playwrights. Along with three other schools’ enrollees, they have engrossed themselves in William Shakespeare’s tale of trust and betrayal to detect themes relatable to contemporary life. “In developing their own scenes, they are encouraging one another and their eventual audiences to determine Shakespeare’s lasting influence,” Mindy Early, Young Playwrights associate director for education and program services, said as the teenagers broke off into five groups for their initial interpretations of their handiwork. “They are honing their voice and seeing how he and they affect the greater world.” Her 26-year-old organization annually aligns itself with more than 50 schools to further written expressions of creativity and is enjoying its second partnership with Southern. The first yielded the Wilma Theater-situated “We Write South Philly High” in 2011 and found students striving to rebuild their secondary haunt’s reputation following attacks on Asian-American matriculators two years prior. Different in its scope, this endeavor likewise designates them as artistic contributors to their community.

“Plus they are learning from a truly gifted performer,” Philadelphia Shakespeare president Carmen Kahn, who is also directing “Othello” through May 18, said of McClendon. “From my observations, they are interacting wonderfully, so perhaps our next generation of stars is here today.” English teacher Peter Ellis’ charges read the play, which scholars agree Shakespeare wrote in the early 17th century, in the winter and strove to mimic the scribe’s intense treatment of duplicity and secrecy through their instructor, Philadelphia Shakespeare teaching artist Ehren Remal and Young Playwrights educator Donya Love. Each student devised a piece, with the overseers selecting a quintet of works for the adolescents to address during McClendon’s hourlong sojourn. Aware that they will be showing their creations at Monday’s Philadelphia High School for Girls-based community sharing session and at Wednesday’s “Othello” staging, they beamed as their visitor announced his desire to aid in any possible way.

“Let’s minds “L t’ see what h t your curious i i d have h crafted,” McClendon said as they readied their scripts. “I’m excited.” WHEN REMAL AND Love announced that McClendon could direct, act in or assist with revisions, Dayonna Nasir immediately beseeched him to join her troupe. A recent transfer to Southern, the resident of 21st and Moore streets missed the reading of “Othello” yet has experience with the Bard’s work, having played the female lead in “Romeo and Juliet” through her prior school. McClendon also has acted in the story of the star-crossed lovers by playing Friar Laurence, the pivotal character who marries them and tragically tries to remove them from their negative surroundings. With numerous Shakespearean roles and his Tony-nominated and Barrymorewinning turn as Mr. Tambo in “The Scotts-

boro Boys,” the thespian has shown admirable versatility and fraternized with Dayonna, Asma Rex and Taniyia Williams as the young ladies sought to situate him in Dayonna’s suspenseful look at relationships and sexuality. Drawing inspiration from Othello’s strained unions with wife Desdemona and supposed friend Iago, the students’ opus led to laughs and serious expressions as peers observed a careful treatment of self-awareness and the perils of truth-seeking. “As the writer, I loved building the tension, and I’m looking forward to adding to my text and really getting into performing it,” Dayonna said. “I don’t really like Shakespeare because of the language and all, but it’s great to apply what he wrote to what people go through today,” Taniyia, of 23rd and McKean streets, added as McClendon touched upon the rhythm of the playwright’s diction. Because he worked so hard to simplify their script, he could not analyze the others, which touched on potentially dramatic friendships and partnerships, including one through which Early helped two learners to look at letting down one’s guard. “I really commend the tension in all of these presentations because it’s reminiscent of what occurs in ‘Othello,’” she said. “The writing was courageous and brought out the conflict very early,” Remal added. An instructor at the University of the Arts’ Ira Brind School of Theater and Temple University’s Esther Boyer College of Music & Dance, McClendon applauded the aspiring performers’ attention to the need to blend levity and gravity when preparing to step from behind a curtain. “Working collaboratively is the greatest part of theater and really gets people in the mindset to be before patrons as confidently and competently as they can,” he said. The workshop made apparent that the sophomores are enjoying their upcoming tasks as upholders of Shakespeare’s legacy and creators of their own. “Our prep work is going well,” Asma, of 17th and Tasker streets, said of instruction that includes film versions of “Othello.” “As for performing before audiences, I’m a little scared, but I know it’s going to come together.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

HORIZON LINES continued from page 1 Express passage, the Port of Philadelphia will reciprocate and send materials to San Juan, Puerto Rico, every Sunday. The City of Brotherly Love will join Jacksonville, Fla., and Houston as locations fostering relationships with the northeastern Caribbean territory and has the principal players anticipating an economic windfall. “This is the beginning of a new era for Horizon,” President and Executive Director Sam Woodward, whose 57-year-old Charlotte-based company had operated its Northeast port of call in Elizabeth, N.J., for four decades, said. “We are looking forward to our interaction with the Commonwealth and to offering the best service in the Northeast.” Having Puerto Rico as an ally since 1958, his employer also assists Alaska and Hawaii through its 14-vessel fleet and five terminals. As the 24-year-old Philadelphia Regional Port Authority’s largest facility, the Packer Avenue site specializes in numerous types of cargo and welcomed Corbett for the fourth time since his Jan. 18, 2011 inauguration as Pennsylvania’s 46th governor. “From the refineries, to the Aker [Philadelphia] Shipyard [2100 Kitty Hawk Ave.], to the improvements we have secured along the river, we know that this port and this region is not only part of our historic past, it is essential to our economic future,” he said. Corbett recently returned from a trip to South America, where meetings with Brazilian and Chilean business figures reinforced his desire to make his state a global player via the port. He spoke of that trek as a potential complement to the Horizon Lines deal, a hope that Philadelphia Regional Port Authority Executive Director James T. McDermott Jr. seconded. “Our governor, in a little more than two years, has already invested nearly $22 million in infrastructure improvements to this facility,” McDermott, who soon will manage the Southport project, which will represent the first major expansion for the Port of Philadelphia in half a century, said. “He is also preparing to set aside $30 million more, so in his quest to help us to do more than stand out, he is putting his money where his mouth is.” FINANCES FIGURE TO be a prevailing topic of the agreement, as Horizon Lines’ presence will create 335 direct jobs and 250 indirect positions, Leo Holt of Holt Logistics Corp. and Astro Holdings Inc., the terminal’s lessee, said. The vocations will generate at least $46 million in total economic gains, with $3 million projected to benefit the

City and the Commonwealth. “We are all in on this,” Corbett said as workers completed the early afternoon unloading of the Horizon Trader. “The work ethic of Pennsylvania’s people is second to none. Our people want to work, they work hard and they work well. When it comes to the men and women waiting on the docks to unload their cargo and get it to market,

Horizon has chosen well by choosing Philadelphia.” That sentiment appealed to state Rep. Bill Keller, who recalled his teenage tenure as a terminal employee. “More and more people are realizing it’s cheaper and it’s quicker to come to Philadelphia [for business],” the 184th district official, with an office at 1531 S. Second

St., said. “Because of what we’re seeing today and will continue to witness, we stand to be a commercial haven.” Keller lauded the pact as the creator of family-sustaining jobs loaded with benefits and endowing workers with senses of pride. “I believe that within five years, you will see 3.5 to 5 million containers going through the Port of Philadelphia,” he said to applause from the crowd, which mixed local and state leaders, including union representatives. “Do you know what that means, Governor? It means every kid who wants a job in these neighborhoods will be able to go back to work like I did.” The accord between the Commonwealth and Horizon adds another prominent element to the Delaware River’s upkeep and advancement. That process includes the dredging, or deepening, of the body of water from 40 to 45 feet at a cost of about $300 million to allow larger ships to dock and more transactions to occur. Officials have said completion of the project should take four more years, with McDermott noting that 90 percent of the efforts will be done over the next 18 months. “We want to attract more workers to this area because it excels in quality,” Corbett said. “From day one, my administration has been committed to creating new jobs and new opportunities at the Port of Philadelphia while continuing to support the existing workers who have helped to make this port great.” “I feel like we’re Rocky Balboa, ready to be the best and to take on all the rest,” Woodward added.

A Girard Estate resident who once dreaded the Walnut Street Theatre is now spending more than 300 days a year there managing the shows. ■ By Jessica Foley REVIEW CONTRIBUTOR

lash back to 1983: It’s 10-year-old Debi Marcucci’s first trip to Center City’s Walnut Street Theatre, where her cousins have brought her to see a production of “Oliver.” “I hated it,” she said. “I was bored, it was dark and everyone was singing. I got out of my chair in the mezzanine and sat on the steps.” Flash forward to 2013: Once again, Marcucci is sitting in the Walnut Street Theatre. This time, though, the Marconi native who now resides at 19th and Porter streets is perched on a metal folding chair that she carried in from her own backstage office. It’s five hours before the Friday evening curtain on the set of “Good People,” the Tony-nominated play by David Lindsay-Abaire running

through Sunday. Marcucci, the production’s assistant director, casts her perceptive big brown eyes quickly over the set: The kitchen of protagonist Margie, a single working mother in Lower Boston. “Oh my god, are you kiddin’?” Marcucci said. “This is my mother’s kitchen in her rowhome on the 2300 block of South Chadwick — except she has orange, rust-color walls, and she’s got the brown cabinets. Margie is a high school dropout who works at the dollar store, so you got to have mismatched coffee mugs, dollarstore-brand cereal. I’m third-generation Italian, but Abaire’s people are South Boston blue-collar Irish, so you know, you got to have the prayer-mass card on the fridge.” In other words, the script may say South Boston, but it’s entirely South Philly. Characters like Dottie Gillis — Margie’s 60-year-old landlord, tapping her foot for the rent as she sits at Margie’s kitchen table in rollers and a housecoat — could have been a neighbor up the street. A born multitasker with a flawless photographic memory, Marcucci is now serving her 15th season as a resident stage manager at the Walnut. An unlikely destiny, perhaps, for the youngster who hated the place so much on her first visit. But then, maybe e.b.t. cards welcome

I got a bunch of jobs in fact, and every one of them sucked because what other job could I get?” At the start of the play, Stevie, a 20-yearold dollar-store manager, asks Margie, 50, his employee, to sit on a rusty metal foldout chair in the back alley behind the store. Margie prefers to stand. Stevie fires Margie, quickly rendering her ultimate objective in the play: To pay the rent and keep a roof over her head. Determined to find employment, she tracks down Mickey Dillon — a guy she dated for two months in high school before he escaped South Boston to attend the University of Pennsylvania and eventually become a doctor — and asks him for a job with blunt directness. It’s a bluntness Marcucci herself shares. One element that the fictional character has in common with the assistant director is their sense of humor. “That’s how we do it in South Philly,” Marcucci said. “If you can’t laugh at a situation, you will die miserable. And what is the point of living if you are miserable? You got to find humor in everything because it makes you feel better.” SPR For tickets, visit walnutstreettheatre.org.

Cardella

By Tom Cardella Columnist

Jackie Robinson

Dodgers and Phillies fans ribbed one another good naturedly during the games. It was as if there were an understanding that racial hostilities stopped when you entered the ballpark. Baseball was divided into two eight-team leagues. As famed sportswriter Red Smith described them, the post-1950 Phillies were part of the “great middle class” of the National League, but still played the Dodgers tough. It was impossible to take your eyes off Robinson during a game back then. He would do anything to win. When he got on base, he would lead away from the bag with his odd, pigeon-toed walk. Once on base, he would dance off of the base distracting the opposing pitcher while Dodgers’ fans cheered in anticipation. The racial ugliness Robinson experienced away from the baseball diamond, such as the Benjamin Franklin Hotel refusing him admittance, was mostly unknown to me. There was no 24-hour sports coverage that would have helped me to understand the vicious response to Robinson’s pioneering effort to play major league baseball. I’m not saying there was easy acceptance around white street corners and barbershops in my neighborhood and others. The N-word was used routinely in describing Robinson and the other black players who were coming to the big leagues in increasing numbers. Jackie was no hero in the white community in which I lived. There was an unwritten quota system. No club, not even Rickey’s Dodgers, would field an all black team. It took me years to realize the life lesson that Robinson taught me. When you root for a team, you fall in love with its players. At least I did. Skin color vanishes and in its place all one sees is his or her heroes, an extended family. It was a lesson I carried with me all of my life It has helped me to get over my own biases, understand the Civil Rights movement and what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was trying to accomplish. Robinson held his temper on the playing field, but answered back with his in-yourface style of play on the field. But maybe all that internalizing his feelings is what finally got Jackie. He aged quickly, grew fat and old before his time. Robinson quit baseball at the end of ’56 rather than face embarrassment after being traded to the rival Giants. Even after baseball, Jackie remained in the eye of the storm. He was roundly criticized by both African-Americans and white liberals for supporting Richard Nixon for the presidency in 1960 against John F. Kennedy. Eventually Jackie felt uncomfortable among conservatives who felt that he was too outspoken on matters of race. He left the Republican Party and became a champion of the Civil Rights movement. To me, Jackie Robinson was like a fire in the sky. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) completes a mission on Earth, which has been evacuated due to an ongoing war with aliens.

Lost in ‘Oblivion’ ■ By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

“O

blivion” might be the most polished hunk of junk you’ll see in theaters all year. Visually, it’s immaculately realized, with sci-fi gadgetry wholly considered down to the last sterile detail, and striking vistas, like a sky streaked with the debris of Earth’s obliterated moon, that come nearly burn themselves in the memory. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, this 2077set tale spares no effort or expense in presenting a vivid post-apocalyptic Earth, which was overrun by alien machines, then abandoned by survivors who fled to a distant moon called Titan. If that brief description gave you whiffs of other films, like “The Matrix,” just wait until you absorb the full story, which plagiarizes a surfeit of established plot points. The evocation of “Planet of the Apes” via a half-buried Lady Liberty isn’t so bad, but that’s just — ahem — the tip of the movie’s ripoff-happy iceberg. The only apparent people left on Earth are Jack (Tom Cruise) and his partner Victoria (Andrea Riseborough), who operate like human Wall-Es, cleaning up the dystopian debris and hunting lingering enemies. In two weeks, they’ll also be off to Titan, a nirvana that’s idolized in a manner not unlike the titular locale in “The Island.” Also pillaged for ideas are “Moon,” “Independence Day,” and “Titan A.E.,” which proves “Oblivion” didn’t even have the courtesy to choose an original name for its colonized Earth alternative. As any critic has griped ad nauseum, originality is rare in Hollywood. But rarer still is a film that so blatantly exhibits such profound deficits of

identity or unique authorship. Character is a total afterthought, short of the hammeredto-death establishment of Jack as the Christlike “chosen one.” Which is where “Oblivion” shifts from nagging to deplorable. Surprisingly, Cruise doesn’t hold a producing credit here, but the project reeks of his self-aggrandizing influence, which has been previously smeared on everything from “Vanilla Sky” to “Mission: Impossible.” The star’s latest is a dud well before it’s revealed that he is, in short, the ultimate human prototype, but then it becomes something far worse indeed: Yet another Cruise vanity project.

Recommended Rental Silver Linings Playbook R Available Tuesday

It may not be quite the triumph so many hailed it as, but the Philly-set “Silver Linings Playbook,” directed by David O. Russell, is pretty much must-see viewing for local film buffs, who’ll latch on to the familiar locales and the abundance of Eagles love. Moreover, it boasts a wealth of fine performances, especially from Robert De Niro and a dazzling Jennifer Lawrence.

have not seen the new film about Jackie Robinson, “42.” Robinson actually played himself in the 1950 movie “The Jackie Robinson Story.” I saw that one. I tried to watch everything he did back then. I was a 9-year-old kid when Robinson broke the color line in baseball. On April 15, 1947 when Branch Rickey decided for reasons — in part money, in part the need to compete in the National League, and in part maybe the kindness of his Christian heart — to bring Robinson to the big leagues, I had just fallen in love with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Don’t ask me why Brooklyn when I was a kid living in South Philadelphia. Affairs of the heart are never easy to explain, but this one lasted until Robinson died at age 53 blind and ravaged by diabetes. I don’t think most kids that age understood the implications of Robinson becoming the first African-American to play in the big leagues. Sure, we were most certainly aware of the color line. I knew whites and blacks lived on different streets and were, on a social level, invisible to one another. As my obsession with the Dodgers grew deeper, I became alert to the great racial divide that not only separated the North and South, but also our own neighborhoods. Back in those days, the Phillies played at Shibe Park, 21st and Lehigh streets. The Phillies became the darlings of the City by winning the pennant in 1950, but then slowly descended back into mediocrity. The biggest crowds at Shibe were when Robinson and the Dodgers came to town. After Jackie was a huge success, the Dodgers quickly followed by bringing up other black players including Philadelphian Roy Campanella, Don Newcombe and Dan Bankhead. Some other teams like the Indians, Giants and Braves began bringing black players to the Major Leagues. Black fans all over in Philadelphia responded by coming out in droves to the park to see their stars in action. The Phillies would not add any black players to their roster until 10 years later, a fact that in retrospect doomed the team for a decade. As the years went by, I saw many games at Shibe (later Connie Mack Stadium), most of them were when Brooklyn came to town. The atmosphere at the ballpark was much different than it is today. Then it was mostly a working-class crowd. There were no giveaways. Black and white fans coexisted peacefully. Philadelphia was racially divided, but not at the old ballpark.

Kathleen’s Chicken Brosole

Spring has Sprung!

ome may be chicken to try an unfamiliar dish. The idea of chicken breast wrapped around a sausage link is a little different from the more traditional barbecued, kebob and grilled versions that gain popularity during this outdoor cooking season. Kathleen Valle, of the 2600 block of Dudley Street, is one of those home chefs who likes a little creativity in the kitchen with her Chicken Brosole. After sampling a couple forkfuls of this rolled up recipe you to may push aside those run-of-the-mill chicken dinners. SPR

outh Street West hosts a springtime pub stroll Saturday. A trolley will loop participants along South, Broad, Lombard and 23rd streets while food and drink specials will be available at restaurants, such as The Cambridge, 1508 South St., and Grace Tavern, 2229 Grays Ferry Ave., for Sprung! noon to 6 p.m. Tickets are $5. For tickets and more information, visit sswba.org/sprung. SPR

Pizzas also are featured at Miles Table even though our servers, who were friendly, professional, attentive and not-at-all chatty, called them flatbreads. Who cares? The one fashioned with sausage and fennel ($11) was a first for us. We tucked right into a piping hot, large thin-crust rectangle that was crisp on the bottom. The menu states Miles spicy Italian sausage is used in the flatbread so I can only assume it is made in-house. It had a vibrant flavor and married beautifully with the anise-flavor of the fennel that did not turn soggy during its time in the oven. It retained a little crisp texture that we both enjoyed. Slices of San Marzano tomatoes and creamy bits of mild = Very Good

pay close attention to food trends because of their positive effects on what I buy and eat in a restaurant. The Mediterranean diet, which features olive oil, fresh fish and vegetables, is still popular. Meatless Mondays took off like a comet a few years back while sustainable and often local products are high on my list. I am not a fan of food fads, especially when an ingredient is being touted all over town and on Twitter because someone decided we should all fall in love with a specific ingredient no matter how dreadful it tastes. I am speaking of raw kale. When it is shredded and packed into a smoothie or featured as the main ingredient in a salad, it has the consistency of cardboard and a bitter taste that no amount of salad dressing could improve. But just because it is “in” does not mean we should all say how delicious it is. A server at Miles Table, a charming casual BYOB on South Street, suggested the Molly kale salad ($8). The eatery is a fine neighborhood spot done up in gray and white with a large booth in the window and modern tables and chairs running the length of the wall. Patrons place their orders and a server brings it to them. Edward was curious about the kale salad, and for purposes of review, I felt obliged to taste it. The salad featured a Mount Etna of shredded kale with slices of creamy, ripe avocado, dried cranberries, Mandarin orange sections and a scattering of toasted almonds tossed in a sweet orange and yogurt dressing.

All I could taste was bitter and sweet. The salad was underdressed and lacked any type of seasoning, even salt and pepper. And how about some fresh, chopped herbs to add a bit of flavor and texture? One may think it is simple to build a fine salad. It isn’t. The Miles salad ($8) was so cloyingly sweet, neither Edward nor I could go past a few bites. It was a mound of ordinary, bagged mesclun, which never adds any crunch, topped with microscopic bits of feta and covered in a blanket of crushed toffee pecans. The dressing was a mix of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, which was OK, but did nothing to counterbalance the sweetness of the greens. It, too, lacked any seasoning. Now to the good news. I’ve been on a hunt for a good burger and confess Miles Table ($12.50) serves up a fine one. Ground chuck is the beef of choice because it packs a lot of flavor and the ratio of fat to beef is spot on. Miles Table used seasoned ground chuck that was seared medium-rare and nestled on a soft bun. Most restaurants use Applewood smoked bacon because of its aromatic qualities and smoky taste. The bacon was nice and crisp and not a bit greasy. Melted cheddar cheese and sliced lettuce and tomato topped my burger. I especially enjoyed the smear of remoulade, a classic French sauce made with mayonnaise, chopped capers, anchovies, mustard and herbs, on the lettuce. It was more of an American version with the flavor and consistency of a good homemade Russian dressing, but I did not mind at all. I just downright liked it.

Percy Street Barbecue’s Shrimp with Pickled Vegetables

Chef Erin O’Shea ercy Street Barbecue chef Erin O’Shea unveilled a new menu last month with the 900 South St. spot’s first seafood dish, an $8 appetizer of Poached Shrimp with Spicy Pickled Vegeta-

bles, which are prepared in a housemade beer vinegar and served with saltines. “To me that’s comfort food — something that is considered simple and well done and has tradition behind it,” O’Shea said. The Maryland native fell in love with Southern barbecue by working in kitchens serving that type of fare, such as Virginia’s The Frog & the Redneck under chef Jimmy Sneed whose advice steered her away from formal education. Upon considering a move to Philly, she met Michael Solomonov, who, at the time, ran West Philly’s Marigold’s Kitchen and made her his sous-chef and later his head chef. The resident of Ninth and Bainbridge streets then headed up Solomonov’s new South Street restaurant, which originally focused on Texas’ smoked barbecue but recently switched gears, allowing the crew

Place them in a glass baking dish, pour the olive oil over them and add the lemon slices. Cover the dish with foil and put it in the oven for about seven minutes, or until the shrimp is pink on the outside and opaque inside. Remove the shrimp from the oil and chill. Fill half-pint jars almost to the top with the pickled vegetables. Nestle the shrimp down on top of the vegetables and serve with saltines. Serves four.

PRO NO “Stretch” of the imagination SPORTS A basketball recruit made history for his Hawthorne school by inking an athletic scholarship. aat southphillyreview.com/blogs.php

■ By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

hroughout his four seasons as a basketball player for The Academy at Palumbo, 1100 Catharine St., Jameal Tucker endeavored to learn and subsequently teach his teammates the rewards of hard work. Accustomed to playing the motivator, the senior forward became the motivated Friday, as he accepted kudos for signing his National Letter of Intent to play for Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania, the first such hoopster to earn a scholarship in the Hawthorne school’s sevenyear history. Nicknamed “Stretch,” the 6-foot-5 West Philadelphian extended his long arms to receive handshakes, high-fives and hugs from the senior class before sitting to hear from first-year coach Tim Castanza. “This was quite an interesting year for Jameal, especially because someone was always coming to watch him,” the resident of Fourth and Pemberton streets said of his leading scorer. “Out of everyone I’ve interacted with, he’s shown the most personal growth and has gone from someone who wanted mostly to score to a person who desired to win all the time.” With father Raphael Tucker and mother Tania Thomas to his left, the teenager offered a litany of character-molding influences and eagerly swapped his No. 14 Griffins jersey for a Bloomsburg Huskies shirt, vowing to devote his diligence to making the Division-II institution a contender. “Palumbo has helped me to become versatile to the point where I feel I can play every position,” he said. “When I go to the next level, I want to work my butt off just like I did here.” Tucker rewarded the Columbia County school for its heavy pursuit of his skills April 2, picking it over the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, which had wanted him to attend a junior college before suiting up for the main squad.

Thanks to the inﬂuential people surrounding him, Jameal Tucker, third from left, will further his academic and athletic diligence at Bloomsburg University. P h o t o b y K at h r y n P o o l e

Looking and hoping to make an immediate difference, he elected to remain in the Keystone State and join the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference member. “I had such a feeling of relief when it became clear that Bloomsburg would be for me,” he said. “Now that I know where I’m going, I have no worries and am just looking to learn as much as I can on the court and in class.” SPORTING A 3.8 grade point average, Tucker figures to thrive in his academic pursuits, though he will begin his matriculation as an undeclared collegiate. “I plan to see what strikes me and then ponder what to do,” the young man,

whose curriculum at Palumbo includes an advanced placement English literature course, said. “Whatever it becomes, I plan to work hard like always.” Along with displaying a knack for posting great grades, the co-captain made his final secondary hardwood campaign another example of his commitment to excellence. As a sophomore, he sampled the limelight as his unit went 19-3 and shared the Division D title with Universal Audenried Charter High School, 3301 Tasker St. Expected to experience some lumps last year when they moved up to Division C, the Griffins struggled mightily and mustered a 7-15 mark. “We came in this year with high stan-

dards,” Tucker said of their return to Division D, “because we knew what we could do.” Responding to Castanza’s call for responsibility and unity, the adolescents registered a 13-10 record, including an 8-4 ledger against divisional adversaries, good for a fourth-place finish and a spot in the Class AA preliminary playoffs. “To get back to the postseason meant so much to us, especially me,” the soon-tobe alumnus said. Hosting Carroll High School Feb. 5, Castanza’s charges notched the first playoff victory in program history, with Tucker scoring 10 points in the 50-43 win. Their dream ended two days later with a 74-46 road defeat against Del-Val, where he also deposited 10. “I’m really proud of what we put together,” Tucker, who averaged 20.1 points per contest in divisional games and 18.1 overall, said. “Because of what coach Castanza taught us, I know I’ll do well next year, and they’ll do the same.” Thanks to his 417 points, which boosted his career tally to 855, he earned FirstTeam All-Division plaudits and took part in April 2’s Public League All-Star Game at Benjamin Franklin High School, scoring three points for Team Black, which included Audenried senior guard Quadir Nock, who won MVP honors, in its 78-68 win over Team White, with senior guard Tobias Stokes from Girard Academic Music Program, 2136 W. Ritner St. In accepting the offer from Bloomsburg, which will be coming off an 8-19 season, Tucker became the second Palumbo athlete to earn a postsecondary opportunity, joining 2012 graduate Sharif Smith, a running back for Shippensburg University. “I feel honored to have this opportunity,” the eventual Husky, who plans to work on his game and put on more muscle this summer, said. “I’m ready to make an impact.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

Now is a good time to address your roof after this tough winter season. Ice & snow freezing and melting opens flashings, lifts seams, drain box seals open, and even high winds can cause capping to blow loose! By having a qualified roofer do an inspection now, it may save you $$ from water damage later. Sometimes only minor maintenance is needed. So how do you find a qualified roofing company? The Better Business Bureau and other websites post reviews online, and in Pa all home improvement contractors must have an Attorney General’s license. It’s blue and should be readily available to be shown to you and it means your contractor is fully licensed & insured, and must follow the roofing industry standards set by the state. Another way is to see how long the company has been in business, is it local, family owned, has a neighbor used them successfully, do they have a web site, have they won any awards, helped out in the community, are they working on a regular basis in the area? Following these guidelines will help in the search for an honest and qualified roofer!
