sk the cast about the music and dancing in “Footloose,” and they’ll tell you.

“It’s enthusiastic,” said Kiera

Gross, 16, of Trucksville. “It’s upbeat,” said Jamie Burns, 18, of Forty Fort. “It makes me want to move to Bomont,” Gross added. Ah, but we must specify. Dancers such as Gross and Burns, who are adding to the exuberance in Little Theatre of Wilkes-Barre’s latest production, would prefer Bomont AFTER its ban on dancing is lifted.

’FOOTLOOSE’ The fictional small town, visited first by Kevin Bacon as protagonist Ren in the 1984 movie, and then by Kenny Wormald in a 2011 remake now playing in local cinemas, is strongly influenced by its local preacher, who is behind the decision to outlaw hoofing of all sorts. At Little Theatre, Wilkes University student Dakkota Deem, 19, plays the young man who eventually convinces grieving adults that dancing doesn’t always lead to horrible car crashes and is even endorsed by the biblical King David. Of course the transformation isn’t easy. For plot purposes, Ren has to start off on the wrong foot. “He comes off as very arrogant,” Deem said, “but a lot of the arrogance he’s portraying is because he’s confused about the town.” In short order Ren alienates the school principal, his uncle, his boss and, especially, the reverend, who doesn’t approve of Ren dating his daughter, Ariel. “I USED to be a reasonable person,” said Chris LaFrance, 38, of Lu-

zerne, speaking in character as the hard-to-please Rev. Moore, who is easily enraged, even by the red cowboy boots his daughter likes to wear. “He thinks they stand for being wild,” said Shana Weinstock, 21, of Dallas, a Misericordia University student whose real-life mom happened to have a pair she could borrow. The only problem is they’re a little too big. “I have three pairs of socks to keep them on,” said Weinstock, who

THE GUIDE

considers turning and jumping in the boots the most challenging part of the show. “They’re not like my comfortable jazz shoes.” Weinstock, a dancer since 3, is enjoying the choreography in “Footloose,” which has influences of jazz, ballet, hip-hop and country line dancing, to match the eclectic score. She also enjoys the moral she sees in the storyline: that people shouldn’t allow a tragedy, such as the death of her character’s brother, to stop them from living. “You’ve got to live your life,” she said. “Bad things are going to happen, but you can’t sit and sulk. You have to do what you love and keep hoping for the best.” Director Cathy Alaimo also sees a message in the script. “Some people think ‘Footloose’ is kind of cheesy, but there’s really worthwhile material in it about family and community. “As the reverend says, ‘If we don’t trust our children, how will they ever become trustworthy?’ ”

Frog Pond, on Coal Street, dishes up an array of fun appetizers, wings and an impressive menu of ‘unfrogettable’ pizza.

packed with flavor, a fun starter on a menu full of fun starters. Deep-fried pickles, anyone? Yep, they have those, plus onion rings, mozzarella sticks, shrimp jammers, peel-and-eat shrimp and potato skins. Our two favorites might be broccoli and cheddar bites, served with buttermilk ranch dressing, for $4.50, and Southwest chicken egg rolls, served with spicy ranch, for $4.95. We may kid ourselves that these are the healthiest choices, but you can’t fault us for trying to fit vegetables in. Note: breading isn’t overly bready here, and grease is not the operative word. Don’t believe it? Then choose

one of the five lettuce-based Hefty Salads ($2.95 to $7.25) or go guiltier with a nacho or chicken nacho salad for $7.50. The star ingredients in those, of course, are tortilla chips, melted cheese and chicken or chili, but you’ll also get lettuce, tomato and black olives. Both ways mean delicious. Your main plate’s basically going to be a pizza, stromboli, burger (we hear they’re legendary) or big sandwich. Or maybe fish or chicken in a basket, pub style. When at Frog Pond, you just can’t pass up the somewhat-sig-

nature pizza. Hand-tossed round is fine, but we prefer the Sicilian, without an overly thick crust but with a hint of sweetness in the sauce. The key taste might be a bit of doughiness, almost as if the crust is not entirely cooked, but that’s not a bad thing, really. Frog Pond also offers an array of “Unfrogettable Pizzas.” Think white broccoli/tomato, pesto, bacon double cheeseburger and more. The latter can be had “MJ style,” with ketchup and mustard instead of sauce. Intriguing. If you stick to the traditional, a whole tray of Sicilian is $12 and includes onion, about which we have no complaints. Toppings are $1.75 apiece, and we chose pepperoni, for its classic-ness, and

bacon, to please two youngsters dining with us who simply gobble this stuff up in its diced form. (Talk about eyes bigger than stomachs; they beg us to order enough, because they’re really, really hungry, and this is really, really good, but we think they must be angling for lots of leftovers with the quantities they profess to wish to consume.) They also do this with wings, which here are among the best this Valley has to offer: crispy with a sauce of perfect consistency. No orange-colored oil slick but nothing thick, ketchupy or gloppy either. The legions who’ve come out for wing-night specials can’t be wrong. (Best to call to see when those are, BTW.) Whatever you do, though, or whatever you eat, just don’t count Frog Pond out, even if the Coal Street gridlock scares you even more during holiday rushes. Night can be easier than day, remember, and if you owned this business, wouldn’t you want patient folks to do the same for you? Times Leader food critics remain anonymous.

o, have you navigated the crazy mess that is Coal Street lately? For many, this major artery linking downtown Wilkes-Barre to Wilkes-Barre Township is simply unavoidable. Which means we must endure the closed lanes and traffic snarls in the hope of a more free-flowing future. For others, alternate routes can be had, and Coal Street has become a back-burner land, as in we’ll come back when the project’s finished. Pity for them, because they might not make it to Frog Pond, that happening little pizza pub facing the park that looked a bit lonely last time we visited. Hence the decision to give the place a shout out here: Hey, readers, Coal Street’s no easy trip these days, we know. But this pizza and these fun snacks make your aggravation worth it. We got in and out on a Friday night without a hitch and didn’t miss out on some oldiebut-goodie Frog Pond favorites. Waffle Fries ($2.50) are a musthave here, and you can go for broke and top them with cheese, chili or bacon for 90 cents a pop. We didn’t, but we looked longingly at a neighbor table that did. Either way, the fries are hot and crisp, yet soft in the center, and

Notes on Music

How existence sounds

PAGE 8

By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

Ask alternative band Cathedra to define itself, and bassist Grant Williams, 24, of Old Forge keeps it simple: “Human.” The sound is eclectic, he says. “The music is not just one mood, just like the way a person isn’t the same all the time. It’s not just one feeling, and it can’t be.” Jenn Johnson, 27, of Swoyersville, vocalist and pianist, said that fact explains the title for sixsong EP “State of Being.” “It’s about the state of existing and everything that comes at you just by breathing,” she said. Cathedra’s sounds are unpredictable, with tracks flipping from piano-driven ballads to harder, rock-tinged songs. Little wonder the range is vast when Johnson lists Tori Amos and jazz as among her influences while Williams cites Tool and Primus. Despite the different tastes, the two clicked “instantly,” Williams said, when they met in March. They now seek a drummer and guitarist for a quartet. “We hope to breathe a bit of life and respect into the area, a general creativity,” Williams said. The creativity shows in atypical lyrics. “Dodging Meteorites,” about the “essence of dreaming,” is one of the more ethereal tracks and what Johnson calls the band’s “squirreliest” song. Some Cathedra songs focus on singular life events such as breakups, but Williams said the duo gravitates toward longer-term emotional material “Say you wrote a song about breaking up with your girlfriend, then two years later you’re happily married to someone else,” he said. “It’s going to be harder to get up on stage and convince the audience that you still believe that song.” Hear Cathedra on Nov. 19 at

Jenn Johnson and Grant Williams of the alternative band Cathedra are a duo looking to become a quartet.

Out of the FBI’s closet? IF YOU GO

By MICHAEL PHILLIPS Chicago Tribune

For 50-plus years, speculation on FBI director J. Edgar Hoover’s private life has focused on whether this bulldog of virtue knew a more formidable affection, fraught with secrecy, given the times and his public profile. “J. Edgar,” starring a valiant Leonardo DiCaprio, is a demure, touching inquiry. Molded by the presence, then absence, of a smothering mother (Judi Dench) who would “rather have a dead son than a daffodil for a son,” Hoover ran the FBI and amassed explosive files on dissidents and enemies from 1935 until he died in 1972. Did his longtime working friendship with assistant Clyde Tolson constitute the one great love of his life, sexual or not? In elaborate flashbacks, this central question rarely fades. The screenplay is much interested in Hoover’s intimate relationship with Tolson (Armie Hammer) and much concerned

What: “J. Edgar” ★★★ Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Armie Hammer, Naomi Watts Directed by: Clint Eastwood Rated: PG-13 for brief strong language Running time: 137 minutes

with his multifaceted psyche. “J. Edgar” suggests Hoover was in love and felt he couldn’t do anything about it except spend as many meals, vacations, days, weeks and years with Tolson as possible. Tolson, it’s implied, was more willing to speak of the secret love. In a

startling hotel-room encounter, fed up with Hoover’s inability to come clean, he turns on his superior, which leads to a fight, then a single, angry kiss. Eastwood’s objective stance mostly sets the tone for the story of a man whose misdeeds and hypocrisies are perhaps too discreetly handled. In the hotel scene, however, as in the other “talking-point” moment (involving the old rumor about Hoover cross-dressing), “J. Edgar” brings out the best in DiCaprio and his director. This might be a closety film about a closety character, but it intriguingly keeps us off-guard.

Pacino to the rescue By ROGER MOORE The Orlando Sentinel

Forget that Adam Sandler plays both “Jack and Jill” and not well. Al Pacino’s a cartoonish, more over-the-top-thanusual version of himself, and he scores the big laughs. Jack’s a wealthy TV commercial director who detests his sis Jill, but Pacino’s mad for her. She visits at the holidays, craving “twin time,” and Jack thinks only of ditching her. But Jack needs Pacino in a commercial, so he needs his twin — or her clothes, in case

he has to dress up like her. Even by sloppy Sandler standards, this is a wreck: fart jokes, potty zingers and pitstain gags. One running gag works: Funny scripted “interviews” with real twins indicate this might be far more evolved than the usual wallow. Sandler puts all his efforts into playing a woman, broadly and badly, but Pacino is out of place and yet right at home. This is as close as we’re likely to get to “Don Corleone Does Don Quixote,” and that alone is worth the admission.

Jill and Jack are both played by Adam Sandler.

Better the gods had spared us By RICK BENTLEY McClatchy Newspapers

The last time something so big and bloated moved so slowly was during the Ice Age. Coming from Mark Canton and Gianni Nunnari (“300”) and directed by the visionary Tarsem Singh, “Immortals” is surprisingly awful. Theseus (Henry Cavill) must rally the troops to stop evil King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) from wiping out Greece with help from a handful of gods. There are plot elements about a

magic bow and arrow and some oracles who look like Bieber backup dancers, but this one-note story never resonates. The casting, direction and costuming are ludicrous. Rourke looks more homeless than menacing king. Cavill has brawn but hackneyed dialogue. Singh has shown visual brilliance, but this slops over to silliness, especially in the Mount Olympus scenes where the gods prance around with what look like TV antennas on their heads. It’s a bland, boring film for which the end is welcomed.

Movie Amy In honor of Veterans Day, a look back at some classic war movies and mini-series: ••• “PATHS OF GLORY” (1957, Criterion, unrated, $30): The insanity of war is dramatized to stunning effect in this early Stanley Kubrick movie with Kirk Douglas as a World War I corporal who, on orders from above, carries out an insane mission he knows will end in tragedy. When the operation fails, a trio of soldiers are court marshaled and held responsible for the folly. Based on a true story, the film triumphs with its terrifying depiction of trench warfare. ••• “BAND OF BROTHERS & THE PACIFIC” (2011, HBO, unrated, $99): All 20 episodes of the Tom Hanks/Steven Spielberg mini-series are packaged in a set that offers a concise history of World War II. “Band of Brothers” tells the story of Easy Company, a squad whose members parachuted into France early on D-Day morning, fighting in the Battle of the Bulge and capturing Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest at Berchtesgaden. “The Pacific” follows three Marines (Jon Seda, James Badge Dale, Joe Mazzello) from their first battle with the Japanese on Guadalcanal to the horror of Okinawa. ••• “PLATOON” (1986, MGM, R, $30): Charlie Sheen stars as an enlistee who provides a grunt’s-eye view of combat in Vietnam. His soul, as he notes in the voice-over narration, is fought over by two commanding officers, the decent Elias (Willem Dafoe) and the destructive Barnes (Tom Berenger). Twenty-five years after its release, this new-toBlu-ray drama is still a stunner. Amy Longsdorf also profiles celebrities for the Sunday Etc. section of The Times Leader.

But the gravity, motion and speed-of-light Einstein world? “That’s my worst subject,” Nester said. Still, the actor noted, science and art complement each other. In the play, so do the two brilliant minds. But is two enough? Gaston, that great observer of life, thinks not. “There must be a third,” he says. “There’s always a triptych.” Enter Charles Dabernow Schmendiman, a bustling entrepreneur with a wildly mismatched wardrobe who claims to have invented an “inflexible and very brittle building material” made from “equal parts asbestos, kitten paws and radium.” Could he be the talent that most influences the new century? Or might that be yet another visitor to the Lapin Agile? In any case, director Dave Reynolds said, audiences will appreciate the comic flair Schmendiman adds to an already funny play. “I think if Steve Martin was going to take a role, that’s the one he probably wrote for himself.” See the show tonight through Nov. 19 at King’s College. ••• To meet another unusual character, one usually called a wizard rather than a genius, head down the street to Wilkes University for a production of “The Who’s Tommy,” based on the original 1969 album by the British band.

“How about the HORIZON, you nitwit?” Einstein responds. Welcome to 1904 Paris, where arguments are plentiful in a cozy watering hole named for a nimble rabbit. Steve Martin’s “Picasso at the Lapin Agile” depicts an imaginary meeting between artist Pablo Picasso, who was going through his “blue period” at the turn of the century, and physicist Albert Einstein, soon to publish his Special Theory of Relativity. Each character sees his work as the greater, more beautiful contribution to humanity, said Drake Nester of Emmaus, who plays Einstein, and Jason Alfano of Shavertown, who portrays Picasso in a King’s College production of the absurdist comedy. The tension between the man of science and the man of art feeds into one of the most dramatic arguments of the play, as Picasso and Einstein indulge in a ready-set-draw competition with pen and paper. “It’s a formula,” Picasso says, with a scornful glance at Einstein’s work. “So’s yours.” “Yours is lines.” “My lines mean something.” “So do mine.” Several students in the 11member cast admitted a greater affinity for art than for science. (One notable exception: Jacob Quin, who plays Gaston, is majoring in biology to prepare for a career in veterinary medicine.)

CELEBRITY Q&A BY R.D. HELDENFELS

JUMBLE

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

BY MICHAEL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

Brazzi a star in Italy and the U.S. Q. Who is Rossano Brazzi? He was in the movies “Count Your Blessings” and “Light in the Piazza.” Is he still living, married, Italian, French or Greek, and is he still in movies? A. Brazzi was a movie actor in his native Italy from the ’30s through much of the ’40s. He became a Hollywood leading man of some renown in the ’50s and ’60s, when his films included the ones you mentioned as well as “The Barefoot Contessa,” “Three Coins in the Fountain,” “Summertime” and “South Pacific.” In the latter, he was Emile De Becque, but Emile’s singing was done by Giorgio Tozzi. “The Film Encyclopedia” says that he returned to Italy in the late ’60s, playing character roles in movies and sometimes directing. He returned to American entertainment from time to time. And as the New York Times noted, Brazzi “made headlines in 1984 when he was among 37 people indicted in an investigation of international arms and drug smuggling. The case against him was later dropped.” He died in 1994 at the age of 78.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you’re going

to admire someone, make it a hero worthy of your attention. Just because a person is a celebrity doesn’t mean he or she is a hero. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll get intuitive flashes in the form of images that flicker across the screen of your mind. Write down your impressions without trying to assign meaning. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll revisit a place you’ve enjoyed in the past and find that it’s difficult to get as excited as you

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ve recent-

ly overcome a problem, and you can now help others do the same. Review your path. Write down what you know. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It feels good to be generous, so you are. You’re not expecting to be praised for a contribution, and it may even embarrass you if someone draws attention to what you’ve given. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You dive into social situations willing to connect, even though you have no idea what you’re going to say. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re a gifted communicator who can state the truth in a way that doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings. Because you can do this so consis-

tently and well, you’ll be asked to use the ability to help others. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You wonder about the next step, while your counterpart thinks only about what is going on right now. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re kind to those you like, and you’re kind to their friends and family, as well. That’s the part that will ensure you a place in the inner circle. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There is greater harmony in your world. It starts with a peaceful feeling in your own mind and heart. Then you’ll notice that those who used to argue often will suddenly get along, and maybe you are the reason.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You know

what you admire about a loved one, though you haven’t had the right moment to share this information in a while. Make that moment happen today. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re like a sailor of unpredictable waters. You go boldly forward, knowing all the while that you’re at the whim of the mighty elements. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 11).

You’ll be sharing major news about your personal life with family in February. Aries and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 2, 39, 10 and 17.

Vacation caretaker leaves neighbors’ home open to theft Dear Abby: Before we went on vacation, we trusted our 15-yearold neighbor “Mia” to feed our cat, take in the mail and water the plants. While we were away, she invited some of her friends and their friends to our home. Some of them she knew by their nicknames and only for a short time. When Mia’s parents learned about the party, they forbade

DEAR ABBY ADVICE her to go. However, she failed to mention she had left our door unlocked for strangers to enter. It was obvious when we returned that people had been there because things were out of place and garbage was left behind. We’re missing about $100 worth of beer and liquor, $50 in change and $150 in old coins. Mia claims she doesn’t know who was there,

and her friends aren’t being honest. I’d like to get the police involved. Mia, her parents and my husband think I’m “unfair” for wanting to involve the police. I believe a crime has been committed and don’t understand why I’m being treated like the bad guy when I’m the victim. The police have told me Mia would not get into trouble as long as she cooperates. Am I overreacting? — Violated Neighbor in Pennsylvania

GOREN BRIDGE

Dear Violated: I don’t think so. The party animals who invaded your home are guilty of trespassing and theft. You should be compensated for anything that was taken and those responsible held accountable. Now that the “kids” have seen where everything of value in your house is located, you could be further victimized. You did the right thing in informing the police.

‘Parenthood’ storyline still delivers By SANDRA SNYDER ssnyder@timesleader.com

Birth and death are monumental television events, and this year the former is edging the latter. In its final season, ABC’s “Desperate Housewives” continues to beat a body plotline to death (the body secretly buried, then moved – oh, the predictable horror!) without quite answering the question of why the lovely ladies of Wisteria Lane didn’t call the police in the first place when they decided to dispense with Gaby’s evil stepfather. Justifiable homicide, anyone? At the same time, as “Grey’s Anatomy” continues to struggle to stay relevant, deaths in the Seattle Grace/Mercy West ER have been less poignant than usual, with a new focus on birth, those that happened and those that didn’t. Much to the dismay of Dr. Owen Hunt and many viewers, Christina terminated her pregnancy, but Dr. Callie Torres did bring a little girl into the world and is amusing enough to watch as she raises her with both Dr. Arizona Robbins AND Dr. McSteamy, bonus mom and rightful dad, respectively. Meanwhile, Drs. Meredith and Derek “McDreamy” Shepherd nearly became adoptive parents, then mucked that up and still struggle to prove their worthiness. Then we have “Parenthood,” which blessedly this year has given us a new mom in the form of an old character, old as in an original and with some mileage on her. Translation: Kristina Braverman (Monica Potter) is past 40. Hints had led viewers to believe yet-another teen-mom storyline was on its way as 15-year-old Haddie Braverman (Sarah Ramos)

Adam and Kristina Braverman, played by Peter Krause and Monica Potter, have now welcomed Nora into their family.

fell in love (and lust), but nope. The newborn belongs to Kristina and Adam, both of whom thought those diaper days were past, and since Nora arrived things haven’t quite been the same in the sprawling and eclectically beautiful Braverman household, all of which has added just one more interesting element to an already interesting one-hour drama. (Another birthheavy storyline is the secondconception/adoption struggle of Kristina’s sister-in-law, Julia Braverman-Graham (Erika Christensen), and husband, Joel (Sam Jaeger). Brought to us by Ron Howard, “Parenthood,” now in season 3 (and still boasting a bang-up soundtrack), is emotionally consistent, delivering big, emotional moments week after week while filling the American bill for family-centric fare. A perfect family? Hardly. That’s the point. But this is, it’s hard to argue otherwise, imperfection done to near-perfection. “Parenthood,” 10 p.m. Tuesdays on NBC.
