Admittedly, my idea of Depression Era sex workers comes from films made prior to the 1934 Hollywood production code, not long before these photos were taken by Jean’s family.

When I reached out to MOZZARELLA FELLAS for our June table, I knew they’d surprise us. But what we didn’t realize was coming was a total 180 degreeway of approaching the eats coming out of the kitchen at this super popular Italian restaurant.

10 If you are near 512 S. Elm St. on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday evenings, it is likely that you will hear LATIN TUNES that may intentionally or unintentionally put a skip into your step and a bounce in your hips.

12 GARY HEIDT is a wide-ranging dude. Heidt, who moved to Greensboro in 2015 from New York City, is a guitarist, a D.J. on college radio, a poet, an artist, a songwriter, an independent scholar, a literary agent and a father of a one-yearold. Even within those pursuits there are

counterbalancing components. There’s a Janus-figure element to much of what he does.

19 For four decades, the WESTERN FILM FAIR and Nostalgia Convention have celebrated the legacy of big and small-screen Westerns. But this year’s event, opening July 12 at the Hawthorne Inn and Convention Center in WinstonSalem, will be extra special because it will be the last round-up.

20 Guaranteed to reign as the hipster fave of 2017, BABY DRIVER comes tearing off the starting line and leads the summer-movie field for the duration of the ride. Only when it hits the final stretch does it become clear that a little more maintenance while still in the shop might have subsequently allowed it to enjoy a few more victory laps.

MIDTOWN CAFE & DESSERTERY CELEBRATES 30 YEARS

BY KATIE MURAWSKI

Midtown Cafe & Dessertery opened in August of 1987 and has now been a part of the Winston-Salem landscape for 30 years. The front of house manager Brette Hearn describes the cafe as “classic American” cuisine and ambiance. The cafe serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and of course, desserts, “all pretty much made from scratch,” Hearn said.

Midtown Cafe & Dessertery takes pride in offering everyone’s level of comfort food and just about anything they are craving. Scott and Brenda Gerding own Midtown Café & Dessertery. Most recently, the general manager Jeff Cayton has also claimed a stake in the business as a partial owner. Premiering at the Thruway Shopping Center as simply a dessert shop, the cafe grew in popularity and numbers in only five years and then had to move to Stratford Village, where they have been ever since.

“Being a restaurant that has been open for 30 years, I think, is a feat in itself,” Hearn said. “Especially with the same ownership.”

Hearn said to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Midtown, there will be week-

long “birthday party.” Hearn said the week will consist of “super, ridiculously” low prices for the whole week on desserts, drinks, and food, there will also be live music as well.

Even though much has changed over the past 30 years in Winston-Salem, Hearn reassures that the recipes for the desserts at Midtown have not changed a bit.

“Some clients that have been coming since day one still come on a regular basis for that one cake that stole their heart,” Hearn said.

Despite the advances in technologies over the years, Hearn said word of mouth is still their strongest advertising tool.

Hearn said the customers of Midtown are all different ages and have come from all kinds of different backgrounds. Hearn said the cafe caters to Wake Forest students because that is Scott Gerding’s alma mater. Hearn said the sports teams and staff of the university frequent Midtown and students receive a free cookie (a long-standing tradition at Midtown) with the purchase of their meal. Hearn said being located near the hospital is also

an advantage as well because there are people who come from all over who become regulars. Hearn said the clientele of Midtown has been changing to a younger crowd. Hearn said the cafe is starting to adjust to the change. Midtown offers craft beer and wine, comfortable pricing (Hearn said everything is just under $15) and hearty portions.

“You get a lot of bang for your buck here,” Hearn said. “In comparison to some of the other places you can go around here, you are definitely not going to leave hungry.”

Hearn and Cayton both agree it is Midtown’s mission to build the foundation for the future generation.

“We are a local business that wants to

continue on for generations to come and still be vibrant and serve our community,” Cayton said. “We have been a member of the community for the past 30 years and we are looking forward to being a member of the community for the next 30 years.”

Midtown Cafe& Dessertery is open from Sunday to Thursday 7 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Friday and Saturday until 9:30 a.m.

Midtown Cafe & Dessertery offers catering, delivery and a grab-n-go service from their Midtown Market located inside of the cafe.

Chef’s Table at Mozzarella Fellas

ach month at our local Chef’s Table, we expect the chef or chefs to surprise us. It’s kind of what we challenge the team in the Kristi Maier kitchen to do.

Working on @triadfoodies something for the menu? Use us as Contributor your focus group.

Want to change a diner’s perception of a particular food? “Dish it up,” as we say.

When I reached out to Mozzarella Fellas for our June table, I knew they’d surprise us. But what we didn’t realize was coming was a total 180 degree-way of approaching the eats coming out of the kitchen at this super popular Italian restaurant.

Mozzarella Fellas just celebrated its first birthday and has already achieved high marks for its pasta, pizza and exemplary service (they’re just sooo nice. It is actually a pleasure to be in their presence).

So, when I asked if they’d like to be our featured restaurant they jumped at the chance because that’s just how these guys are, they rise to any challenge.

For sure, Mozzarella Fellas has the best pizza I’ve had in the city and beats more established pizza joints. The pizza is innovative and topped with the freshest ingredients. Try the Siciliano or a traditional slice of cheese pizza; it’s as big as your head times two.

The mozzarella is made fresh and the bacon and ham are all cured in house.

They also source local ingredients whenever possible. When folks wondered about our Chef’s Table at a restaurant that wasn’t some upscale dining establishment, I got some questions…

“Will it be a pizza party?”

“No way!” the Fellas said.

“Is it going to be full of carbs and pasta and cheese?”

“Not the way you think,” the Fellas replied.

The Fellas are Brian Ricciardi and Darrell Coltrane. Ricciardi, who’s Italian, vegan and gluten-free, grew up learning from his Italian grandmother and in Italian restaurants. Coltrane is a military brat who spent part of his childhood in Sicily. There, he fell in love with the way of life and the kitchen but he’s originally from the area and has a southern grandmother. These two business partners came together

1 with ideas on how to bring the best they know in Italian food with some Southern influences and at the same time, be the go-to restaurant for folks who have food restrictions, self-imposed or not.

Our entire menu at our Chef’s Table was definitely a surprise. At this Italian restaurant full of pasta and bread and pizza dough, the menu was completely gluten-free and two of the five courses were vegan.

Let’s take a look:

FIRST COURSE

Jackfruit in a house-made BBQ sauce with peppers.

Jackfruit is southeast Asian fruit that in this application, resembles pulled pork.

This dish had everyone shaking their head that it wasn’t BBQ, as it had the same texture and feel. The tangy peppers con-

trasted nicely with the light, sweet and spicy sauce. That’s right, we had Vegan BBQ. The dish itself isn’t on the menu specifically but they do offer a jackfruit pizza, which I’m now dying to try.

SECOND COURSE

Mozzarella Fellas Caprese salad with heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and Fair Share Farm squash blossoms This salad, with the Fellas’ fresh, in-house mozzarella, was a bright and beautiful hit. The squash blossoms were a special touch for the night (I love squash blossoms and really would’ve liked a few more scattered among the basil chiffonade). The pickled onions and the balsamic glaze added a tart and tangy component.

THIRD COURSE

Vegan mac and cheese with broccoli rabe You read that right. Vegan “mac and cheese.”

How, you ask? The “cheese” is made from cashews, filtered water, nutritional yeast, some salt, and butter beans add DWSP_Music17_Chronicle_7-7-17_7-8-17.pdf some thickness.

The “Mac” was red lentil pasta, which is purely vegan and gluten-

free. It had the texture and taste of a sharp mac and cheese. I wouldn’t say it’s a direct comparison, but if you can’t have dairy or gluten and you miss that dish in your life, this is the place to get it. Ricciardi said this is something he makes at home and Coltrane said it’ll make you a believer.

We agreed.

FOURTH COURSE

Southern chickpea-fried chicken cutlet with collard greens and polenta cake This was the most Southern item on the menu and quite the departure from what you’d expect at an Italian restaurant. The chicken cutlet was coated in chickpea flour and was incredibly crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. Several folks commented that it was crispier than a traditionally fried cutlet. The collards were cooked with house-cured ham and house-cured bacon (cured without smoke in the Italian way).

This was a huge hit among the guests of the evening.

5 FIFTH COURSE

Endive stuffed with goat cheese, raspberries and candied nuts Endive for dessert?

Coltrane told the group, “growing up in Sicily, they’d sell chocolate coated endive in the markets. It was crispy and cool so this was a spin off that.”

It was tasty and was like a little dessert salad. A very, very different and refreshing twist on dessert.

So, as you can see, it wasn’t all pizza and cannoli. Nary a one in sight (though I did see a guest jump on the opportunity to order a cannoli, and you should too, it’s delicious). Triad Local First executive director Luck Davidson was a guest and told me, “It has all been really surprising, but in such a good way.”

Coltrane and Ricciardi both wanted to share with our group and hope to get the word out that they are more than just an Italian restaurant. They said they want to be a space people can come to for healthy options as well as warm, comforting pizza and pasta.

My husband, for one, loves the All Chopped Up salad.

“I get it with extra meat and cheese,” he said. “But it’s their house Italian dressing that makes it so good. It’s the best.”

If you love mushrooms, we invite you to try the mushroom calamari, which looks and tastes like calamari but is completely vegan.

The Fellas said they appreciate the past year and the support that they’ve received and that they will continue to broaden the perceptions of what an Italian restaurant can be, especially by adding more gluten-free options as well as vegetarian and vegan choices as long as there is a demand for it.

“We want people to enjoy what they want to enjoy, but in a healthy way,” Ricciardi said.

But you can also have dessert and pizza. !

Running heads: Building community through Latin dancing

I

f you are near 512 S. Elm St. on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday evenings, it is likely that you will hear Latin tunes that may intentionally or unintentionally put Katie Murawski a skip into your step and a bounce in your hips. Specializing in Editor Cuban Salsa/Rueda, Kizomba/Semba, Afro-Cuban folkloric and Bachata dances, Messina Dance Company opened in 2016 and in just this short amount of time they have been well-received by the people of Greensboro and Durham. Alongside being a new upand-coming dance studio, Messina Dance Company has reached out to the community and made its mark as an open, social and communal dance company.

Steven Messina is the founder and instructor of Messina Dance Company and before he was teaching Cuban style dancing, he started out dancing with his mother in their kitchen at a very young age.

“It wasn’t even a conscious decision when I wake up in the morning,” Messina said. “I am thinking about dance and I am thinking about how to get people into classes or how to make a routine that will expose them into keeping up with dance.”

Messina said he lived in south Florida for a while where he learned and practiced Casino, or Cuban style, socially. Messina said when he first moved to North Carolina, people were telling him he didn’t know how to dance because they were doing it the American way and he had

Group picture of Messina Dance Company’s summer class, from left: Caleb Peter Turmel, Jennifer Antonosanti, Soso Onasanya, Nico Brown, Rosanna Ventura, Kierra Campbell, Sam Sutton, Claudia Lozada, Abril Nieves, Jordan Alayna and and Steven Messina learned the Cuban way.

“I did not know at the time what I was doing,” Messina said. “I had to go back and do my research and take lessons in Casino like, what is it and how to break it down because I wanted to share it with the people I was meeting up here to dance salsa with. I had to go back and learn how to explain it, and when I did that I understood it better myself.”

Now, Messina said he has a group of people who can explain the lead and follow part to a man or a woman and that is

how the dance spreads.

However, he did not pursue dance as a career until he started Messina Dance Company. Messina originally worked as an engineer but still kept dancing part time.

He said he began taking lessons, then helping other classmates and then from there, he started teaching the stuff he likes most: Casino.

“I started teaching Cuban dancing and there was a really good response,” Messina said. “This area does not have a lot of Cuban dance-- they dance salsa, but they

dance it in a line, the American style, and the Cuban style is circular.”

In only about a year, Messina Dance Company has gone from having no people to dance in the area to a training team in both Durham and Greensboro that work on presentations and come to classes, Messina said.

“The Greensboro group has traveled and done performances in Wilmington, Virginia and we have our eyes set on other places as well like Miami,” Messina said. “In a very short period of time, it has really taken off and gotten a lot of good exposure. The thing is, people, keep using the phrase hidden gem, so, with that, they certainly mean the group of people.”

Messina said the most special aspect about Messina Dance Company is the strong bond among classmates as well as the community. Messina also appreciates the diversity of his students as well as the crowds that show up to dance in public.

“When you see us out dancing in public, it looks like we did a diversity casting,” Messina said. “But that just happens to be, people of whatever age, background, origin and they are all can bring their own experience to the table. They are all very nice people. So, anyone that gets exposed to the group they can see it, it is very obvious. That is what the real special thing is.”

Messina said he sees people come in and say they are new in town or they do not know anyone. He encourages those people to come to a class or a social dance session and then they will know and be in connection with 50 people.

“If you really want to, you could know 200 people,” Messina said. “That is just the function of the salsa community itself when someone comes around everyone is connected, it is an instant social circle whatever the size.”

Messina said he is very excited about starting up a new schedule for weekly Cuban Salsa classes as well as Kizomba classes. Messina said it will be in a month format, where people can join at any time but classes restart at the beginning of every month.

“I am encouraging people to come out and try it because the classes go very slow,” Messina said. “To allow people who are slower or newer to dance that level and then there is an intermediate level and advanced level.”

Messina said the cost of joining is normally $45 per month for an individual and $75 for a couple but if someone created a MeetUp account the price would only be $40 per month for an individual and $70 for a couple. Messina believes this is pretty affordable and he is confident that he communicates the dances pretty well.

He said he does this by balancing social dancing, which he describes as “trial by fire” approach, as well as teachings like that, would be done at a formal dance school.

What makes Messina different and unique from all the rest is because Messina said that there are not a lot of people who do Afro-Cuban dances anywhere.

Messina said the folkloric dancing is very specific and niche type of dance. Messina said that it takes a lot of training and the dances have a religious background, which can be very special to some people.

“Even little drops come from AfroCuban, so when we are dancing Rueda or something like that it is more Afro, it is what makes the Cuban music so rich,” Messina said.

Messina said his personal goal is to get someone who allegedly can’t dance to teach them to be able to dance as good as him and better. “I am trying to elevate anyone I can inspire,” Messina said.

Tonya Harmon a salsa dancing fan and a Zumba instructor came out on June 25 to the Salsa Dancing in the Center City Park because she wanted to learn how to do the dances.

“I am a dancer by nature,” Harmon said.

“I am a Zumba instructor so I really enjoy this.”

Her son Marcus and husband Terrance Harmon joined her sitting on the green in front of the Center City Park stage.

The family thought it was a great outing together and were big fans of the dancers.

“I like what I am seeing,” Marcus Harmon said. “I want to be an instructor I want to be taught, I am not 100 percent sure about the dance moves but that is why I am watching.”

Nico Brown, one of Messina’s more seasoned students (who also learned to dance in south Florida) said he “found this amazing group” and was thrilled to join. He said he has been with Messina for two and half years and loves to dance as a hobby.

“You got a diverse group of people with all kinds of backgrounds and skill levels just come in and he teaches everything really nicely and brings everyone together,” Brown said.

Brown said the Salsa Dancing in the Park was a really fun event that has been growing since it had begun. He said he noticed that a lot more people have come and joined.

Ruth Aquino attended the Salsa Dancing in the Park on June 25 and said it was her first time coming out. She said she dances Mexican folkloric dance with costumes with the different states of Mexico.

Lionel Villalta and Selene Pfeifer are a couple who came out to salsa dance on June 25. Villalta is also a dance instructor at Break‘N’ Out Dance Studios but just came out to dance for fun. “Steven Messina is doing a great job promoting salsa in the Greensboro area and I hope he keeps going with the same momentum,” Villalta said.

There are several events upcoming that Messina Dance Company will be hosting or involved in. On July 4 the dance company salsa danced in the Fun 4th Street Festival and they started the new schedule for Kizomba and Semba classes. On July 5, the Cuban Salsa classes kick off with the new July schedule starting at 6:30 p.m. On July 13, Messina Dance Company will host its second Downtown Latin Social located at Toniq Night Club. From 9 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. at Toniq, Messia Dance Company will be giving a complimentary Bachata lesson, no experience necessary and no partner required. From 9:30 p.m. until midnight, there will be freestyle salsa, kizomba, bachata, timba, merengue and more dances.

Hyper-productive experimentalist Gary Heidt makes Greensboro his creative lab

G

ary Heidt is a wideranging dude. Heidt, who moved to Greensboro in 2015 from New York City, is a guitarist, a D.J. on college radio, a poet, an artist, a songwriter, an independent scholar, a literary agent and a father of a one-year-old. Even within those pursuits there are counterbalancing John Adamian components. There’s a Janus-figure element to much of what he does. @johnradamian As a guitarist, he’s made both avant-garde, free improvisation Contributor work, and tunes that might strike one as folk leaning, tipping his hat to his Texas childhood. His poetry is visual poetry, which combines both words and images by making the placement of the words on the page or canvas something to look at and ponder as much as something to read and make sense of. So, it’s part visual art and part poetry. He has two radio shows, one on WQFS, and the other on WUAG. Both play music by idiosyncratic American originals like Sun Ra, Conlon Nancarrow, John Cage and Ornette Coleman.

“I’ve just been going full and steady for the last 30 years,” Heidt (who is now 46) said.

His full and steady going continues to branch out into other realms. Heidt has started hosting a monthly gathering of nonamplified experimenters at the Glenwood Community Bookshop. It’s on the third Saturday of every month.

“It’s all improvised and it’s all acoustic,” Heidt said.

“Part of that is because I hate setting up equipment.”

The bookstore makes for a nice space in which to let the sound waves bounce around, Heidt said.

“There’s something about the acoustics of all those books on the wall,” he said.

Greensboro guitar avant-gardist/sonic outsider artist Eugene Chadbourne has participated in the series, which, like most of Heidt’s projects, goes under the Perceiver of Sounds heading.

The name comes from Buddhism. In Buddhist scripture and artwork, there are Bodhisattvas, beings on the way to a type of divinity through the pursuit of enlightened consciousness, following the teachings of Buddha.

“They’re helping out,” Heidt said by way of explaining the role of Bodhisattvas. There’s one named the Perceiver of the World’s Sound.

“Sort of like a deity of compassion,” Heidt said. “The one who’s out there listening to everyone’s complaints.”

So, maybe it’s not too much of a stretch to say that for Heidt (and some of his like-minded collaborators listening) is about more than just passively receiving or appreciating sound; it’s an act of understanding, of potential empathy, potential humility, of comprehending one’s spiritual place in the Cosmos.

But it must be said that free-improv--music that does away with the constraints of composition, and possibly, depending on the mode of attack, with regular notions of rhythm, harmony, and melody-- is off-putting to some ears.

Some listeners don’t have the compassionate fortitude to wade into this sometimes-challenging musical realm.

“A lot of times, when people hear the words ‘improvised music,’ they just run screaming,” Heidt said.

To reduce potential frustration among his listeners, Heidt keeps some of his more traditional material, (the

where each component functions like a square on a grid, making a big mosaic-like picture of letters and words, one that you can look at as writing or as an image, depending on your distance and frame of mind. Like his music, it’s far out and hypnotic.

“It’s kind of weird because you can’t point to something that most people would think of as poetry,” Heidt said.

Some of the pieces have appeared in literary magazines, and others have been featured in gallery shows of his art.

As an independent scholar, Heidt has written about the repetition-obsessed modernist writer Gertrude Stein, whose more experimental work struck some as transcending meaning, sometimes operating on rhythm and musicality more than overt coherence.

Heidt seems to prefer operating in a zone of “either/or, this-and-that, or everything-and-nothing,” where his work, like Stein’s, may confound, but still addresses the idea that mental attention is meaningful independent of what it focuses on and that creative action is worthwhile no matter the end result.

The next Perceiver of Sound League live acoustic improvisation event at the Glenwood Community Bookshop will be held on July 15 at 4 p.m. !

songs with chord patterns, lyrics, and hummable tunes) sort of bivouacked online on separate Bandcamp pages.

Heidt’s more traditional songs can bring to mind the brooding poetics of artists like the Silver Jews, Tom Waits and Terry Allen.

One project involved taking inspiration from centuries-old writings by Chinese Buddhist figure Guan Yin, whose name is short for Guan Shi Yin, which means “[The one who] Perceives the Sounds of the World.” So, all of Heidt’s different efforts have a kind of spiritual through-line.

The lyrics are very loosely based on the writing, but one doesn’t get the sense of listening to devotional poetry exactly.

“I started this project where I was gonna do 100 songs that were all interpretations of these different quatrains because it seemed like it would be a good project that would keep me busy for a while,” Heidt who seems to like being busy, said.

“I really take liberty with them,” Heidt said.

One of those songs, “Is It Real?” Heidt asks the question: “Who are you except everything you do?” It’s a perspective that WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

sheds a little light on Heidt’s relentless productivity.

In the interest of making more sound available for the world to perceive, Heidt is also kicking around the idea of a record label -- mostly digital for the time being -devoted to releasing some of the acoustic improvisations and other experimentations. Heidt hopes to release some of the material recorded from the acoustic improvisations series at the Glenwood Community Bookstore and some of the music made live on the air as a part of his radio shows, the Perceiver of Sound League, which airs from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sundays on WUAG, and the Earth Matrix, which airs Mondays from 8 to 10 a.m. on WQFS. Leaping from free improvisation to Buddhism-inspired song cycles, the distance to Heidt’s other work as a visual poet doesn’t necessarily seem like a huge leap. Some of Heidt’s poems look a little like the letters from an intense game of Scrabble or a crazed crossword rendered on a canvas, hand-drawn (some blocky and dark, some wispy and tiny) -- like the colorful cells of a Chuck Close portrait, JULY 5-11, 2017 YES!

You might not have known his name, but you’ve seen Jeff Corey (1914-2002) countless times in film and television. With his prominent nose and ears, bushy hair and eyebrows, and a deep voice whose range he controlled at will, his film career began in the 1940s with notable roles in The Devil and Daniel Webster (1942), The Killers (1946), Brute Force (1947) and Bright Leaf (1950).

Corey’s star was definitely on the rise until he was swept up in the Cold War fervor of the Hollywood Blacklist. A man of principle, he refused to “name names” and was denied his livelihood – and this for a man who had served aboard the USS Yorktown as a combat photographer during World War II. Now, 15 years after his death, Corey’s life story is told in “Improvising Out Loud,” an autobiography (clearly long in the making), credited to Corey as his youngest daughter, Emily. It’s an absorbing chronicle of a noted actor, Blacklist survivor, and acting teacher for an impressive array of up-and-coming WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

stars, including Leonard Nimoy (who penned the foreword), Jack Nicholson, Warren Oates, James Dean, Rita Moreno, Carol Burnett, Richard Chamberlain, Dean Stockwell, Vic Morrow, Rob Reiner, Penny Marshall, Pat Riley and Bruce Jenner, to name a few.

Born Arthur Zwerling in Brooklyn, Corey’s reputation as a teacher superseded his reputation as an actor, but when the Blacklist faded he returned to acting, not so much with a vengeance as with delight to make up for lost time. He had a second chance to practice what he’d been preaching, appearing in several classics (In Cold Blood, True Grit, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Seconds, The Cincinnati Kid, Little Big Man), a few cult favorites (Beneath the Planet of the Apes, Battle Beyond the Stars, The Sword and the Sorcerer, Conan the Destroyer), television (The Outer Limits, Star Trek, The A-Team and even Charmed), and directed episodic T.V. in the early 1970s.

Corey shares anecdotes and stories about those he worked with, and aside from some well-deserved shots at the likes of Sen. Joseph McCarthy and Roy Cohn,

Corey’s story: This actor’s life

he views the Blacklist less with bitterness than disappointment and sorrow. He was able to make something of a bad situation, whereas others were destroyed. Some who testified and named names (including Sterling Hayden) expressed deep regret at having done so, others seethed with resentment. Not so Corey.

Corey also discusses his teaching process, which was not defined by any particular method – or Method, for that matter.

Chapter 26 of the book is amusingly titled Infernal Methodists, referring to the various interpretations (and misinterpretations) of Method acting. The observations, tips, and pointers that Corey proffers are refreshingly uncomplicated and conveyed with clarity.

One cannot separate the Jeff Corey from the Blacklist, and Improvising Out Loud doesn’t try to, but in both cases, they are not defined or dominated by it. This is about the life and career of a fine actor and renowned teacher – a life of positivity, creativity, and integrity.

Thanks from Touchstone Hello, I’m Leah Morse, a publicist at Touchstone/Simon and Schuster. I wanted to let you know that it was such a pleasure to work with Mark Burger on his recent piece on The Gatekeeper by Kathryn Smith during her promotional tour. We were all delighted with how it turned out – Mark really captured the essence of the book and what Kathryn aimed to achieve when writing it. The Gatekeeper has a special place in our imprint because it’s the story of a forgotten but crucially important woman, so thank you for continuing to talk about it!

I hope we get to work with your organization again soon. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re interested in a review copy of any of our upcoming titles.

Baby Driver outpaces competition

BY MATT BRUNSON Guaranteed to reign as the hipster fave of 2017, Baby Driver ( ) comes tearing off the starting line and leads the summer-movie field for the duration of the ride.

Only when it hits the final stretch does it become clear that a little more maintenance while still in the shop might have subsequently allowed it to enjoy a few more victory laps.

Nevertheless, this style-over-substance endeavor does itself proud as one of the few worthwhile achievements in what’s turning out to be a rather desultory cinematic season thus far. Writer-director Edgar Wright deserves the lion’s share of the kudos, not only for assembling a noteperfect cast but also for providing them with dialogue that’s often a pleasure to encounter. Landing many of the best lines is Kevin Spacey, cast as a verbose crime boss who masterminds a series of bank heists. Spacey’s Doc likes to use different players for different jobs, but he always keeps one constant on the team: Baby (Ansel Elgort), a taciturn getaway driver who choreographs all of his moves (both in and out of the car) to the tunes emanating from his iPod. (In this manner, Baby is not unlike Guardians of the Galaxy’s Peter Quill, who similarly shimmies to the beat of his Walkman.)

Baby is so quiet and reserved that his demeanor endears him to some of his accomplices while enraging the rest. For their part, lovebirds Buddy (Jon Hamm) and Darling (Eiza Gonzalez) like the kid; conversely, Griff (Jon Bernthal) and Bats (Jamie Foxx) do not. As for Baby, the

only person who interests him is Debora (Lily James), the new waitress down at his favorite diner.

Between the character dynamics, the vehicular stuntwork (much of it not CGI), and the carefully chosen soundtrack, Baby Driver clicks on all cylinders — at least until it hits the homestretch. Suddenly, a storyline that had admirably been kept edgy and unexpected turns careful and conventional, with unlikely character pirouettes and an overextended climax — one, I might add, featuring a villain seemingly as indestructible as Terminator 2’s T-1000 — emerging as the primary, predictable culprits. That’s a shame. Certainly, Baby Driver establishes its own irresistible rhythm — one which deserves a sizable audience — but when it perhaps matters most, it turns out that the song remains the same.

previous movie) who works for Miss Martha — unlike all the school teachers and schoolgirls draping themselves over him, she alone sees McBurney in his true light. For reasons too spoilerish to blurt out, Hallie (superbly played by Mae Mercer in ’71) is integral to key revelations revealed late in that film. For her part, Coppola simply drops the character altogether, marking this as a particularly unpleasant example of whitewashing.

Then again, such an excision isn’t exactly shocking.

Since her out-and-out masterpiece, 2003’s Lost in Translation, Coppola has only written and directed middling movies about the inconveniences faced by privileged white women. The old axiom states that one should “write what you know,” but in Coppola’s case, that’s proving to be unfortunate career advice.

Based on Thomas Cullinan’s novel, Don Siegel’s 1971 drama The Beguiled cast Clint Eastwood as John McBurney, a wounded Union soldier who gets nursed back to health at a remote all-girls school in the South during the Civil War. All of the women, from the middle-aged head of the institute (Geraldine Page) down to the precocious preteen (Pamelyn Ferdin), are drawn to the male in their midst, leading to jealousy, mistrust and violence.

Between the poor marketing by Universal Pictures and an atypical role for Eastwood, The Beguiled was a box office flop, yet its status as a complicated and intriguing work remains undisturbed. Writer-director Sofia Coppola has now chosen to offer her own interpretation with a new picture, also titled The Beguiled ( ). But what’s baffling is her decision to strip the piece of all nuance and all complexity.

Colin Farrell is fine as McBurney, but whereas the ’71 model fascinatingly presented the character as fundamentally rotten but blessed with the ability to compliment, cajole and con at will, this version offers basically a nice guy who eventually snaps and turns into a raging psychopath.

As Martha (Page’s old role), Nicole Kidman also delivers a strong performance, but her character is less layered than before — all touches of madness have been removed, leaving only a character whose actions don’t always make sense within the context of what’s presented.

Two of the women who become involved with McBurney remain front and center, but both Kirsten Dunst and Elle Fanning are miscast in these roles. Missing completely — to the project’s great shame — is the character of the slave (Mattie in the book, Hallie in the

A constantly ka-chinging cash register disguised as a major motion picture, the utterly boring and utterly banal Despicable Me 3 ( ) is largely the animated equivalent of the current Transformers: The Last Knight.

While it may not be as stridently idiotic as the Michael Bay dud, it’s similar in that it also merely goes through the motions expected from an established and profitable franchise. It’s full of rote sound and fury, but while it’s tempting to say it signifies nothing, that wouldn’t exactly be correct. It signifies the continued standing of Hollywood as the ultimate babysitter, providing harried parents an opportunity to dump off their little darlings somewhere, anywhere. If Minions are involved, so much the better.

What made Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) unique in the 2010 original was that he was a villain, only softening toward the end of the film. That sharp edge was filed down in 2013’s Despicable Me 2, since he was now a full-fledged good guy. In this latest outing, he’s only grown more uninteresting as a character, so the filmmakers compensate by introducing a twin brother named Dru (also Carell).

Unfortunately, he’s even more bland than his sibling.

The sop to adults who are unfortunate enough to accompany their kids to see this comes courtesy of the villain. Balthazar Bratt (Trey Parker), a former child star in the 1980s, is now a mullet-topped super-villain, committing his crimes while backed by Top 40 hits from the era (Michael Jackson, Dire Straits, a-ha, etc.). It’s calculated rather than clever, and it’s just one more sign of the crushing laziness that this picture proudly if perversely displays at every conceivable turn. !

oots, Sarah and Eileen don’t look like prostitutes. But that’s who Jean, the 88-year-old woman who has kept their photos for the last eight decades, said they were. Admittedly, my idea of Depression Era sex workers comes from films made prior to the 1934 Hollywood production code, not long before these photos were taken by Jean’s family.

The young women, one fair-haired and two brunettes, are dressed demurely.

Boots is wearing a necktie blouse; Eileen, a polka-dot top over sheer organza; and Sarah, a dark, novelty-pattern dress (that a costumer friend suspects has been altered to seem more up-to-date. But, more on Sarah later). Unlike tight-sweatered Joan Blondell in the climax of Busby Berkley’s “Gold Diggers of 1933,” (1933) or the negligee-clad, bottle-blondes enjoying hooch and chocolate cake in William Wellman’s “Wild Boys of the Road,” (1933) these ladies aren’t dressed to advertise their profession.

worth’s sales clerks or Jefferson Standard stenographers having $0.05 lunches at Hamburger Square.

The hardships of the Great Depression But Boots, Sarah and Eileen weren’t sales clerks or stenographers. They lived in and worked out of the Piedmont Hotel at Elm and Edwards Place (now West McGee), on the floors presently occupied

by Longshank’s and the Green Burro.

There, they plied their trade in partnership with Jean’s grandfather, Luther “Broadus” Coleman, who ran the hotel and charged much more for a room with a young woman in it than one with just a bed, dresser and radiator.

“They look like nice girls because they were,” said Jean, who thinks she was 7 or 8 years old when the photos were taken.

Boots, Eileen and Sarah were even sometimes guests in Jean’s mother’s home in Winston-Salem. She believes

her whole family knew how the three women earned their living in the 24-room, two-floor hotel leased and managed by her grandfather, but it was not something spoken of until Jean was older. Jean believes that the three nice, young women Boots, Eileen and Sarah took up their profession due to the hardships of the Great Depression.

“It was the Depression and people did what they had to do,” Jean said. “Mama tried taking in washing like our AfricanAmerican neighbors did, but that was such hard work back then when you did everything by hand and warmed the iron in the fireplace. Other family members sold fruit on the street.”

That economic catastrophe is generally thought of as ending in 1939. Two years later, Pearl Harbor would bring a boom in (temporary) economic opportunities for American women.

But 1941 also saw the creation of the Greensboro Overseas Replacement Depot, which trained United States Army Air

Force recruits from all over the nation.

Before the war’s end, it would deploy over 150,000 airmen to combat theaters around the world. Greensboro had become very much a military town and would remain that into the 1950s.

The Piedmont’s demise and beyond In 1940, Greensboro police raided the Piedmont and charged Jean’s grandfather with maintaining “a disorderly house.”

Nowadays, that denotes a residence deemed a public nuisance or community annoyance, but prior to World War II, it was used interchangeably with “bawdy house” (in the antebellum South, it was specifically one that “crossed the color line,” but that usage was rare by the first World War). The manager and his female “tenants” weren’t the only ones who profited from the hotel’s extra services.

“There was a porter named Slim, who’d meet men downstairs or at the bus station across the street and take them up to

see the girls,” Jean said. “I guess Slim was a...what do you call it?”

“A pimp,” said her nephew David Gwynn, whom I used to work with at Kinko’s but is now a librarian and digital projects coordinator for University of North Carolina Greensboro Libraries.

Gwynn is the one who introduced me to his aunt (whose name, by the way, is not Jean). Jean doesn’t want me to use her real name (but Gwynn said he was “not proud” and was fine using his name), but she doesn’t mind my identifying her grandfather. She describes Coleman as a “notorious carouser” and a vexation to her more straight-laced grandmother Mary, who married him in Durham in 1907 and divorced him in Greensboro in 1940. The Greensboro Daily News Notice of Separation from July 24 of that year gives Mary Coleman’s address as 308 West Gaston Street and Broadus Coleman’s as the Piedmont Hotel (she had given him the heave-ho before he first appeared in court on July 27). Besides the word “disorderly,” WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

the charges described the hotel as “a house of assignation.” Complaints were also filed against the property owner, one W. J. Barker of Randolph County, and his agent C. P. Carmichael, but only Coleman would be convicted. On Sept. 8, 1940, Coleman was given a suspended sentence, court costs and a $25 fine by 12th District Judge H. Hoyle Sink, on the condition of three years good behavior.

Seemingly out of the bordello business after that, Coleman died in Columbia, South Carolina, in 1950, having moved there from Greensboro the year before.

On Sept. 27, 1941, the Greensboro Daily News reported that the GPD “staged a timed raid on 11 small hotels last night on the eve of the arrival in the city of 17,000 soldiers” and “arrested five women and three men on morals charges.” All five of those arrests were at the former Piedmont--by then the Astor. The war years would bring regular coordinated raids on the city’s smaller hotels and each time, the majority of the busts would be at the

Astor and its successor the MacArthur. In all but one case, the charges were some variant of “occupying a room for immoral purposes,” suggesting that some may have been purely sexual liaisons rather than commercial transactions. The exception was on Feb. 25, 1943, when Earl Sellars, identified on the report as both a “Negro” and “Astor Hotel Porter,” was arrested on the charge of aiding and abetting prostitution and jailed in default of a $500 bond. While there’s no way of knowing if Sellars was “Slim,” the pimp Jean remembers from the previous decade, it’s worth noting that his sentence was much harsher than the suspended one her grandfather received three years before (I suspect this had less to do with any particular crackdown on vice than with the men’s respective races).

Jean’s memories of the “call girls” who lived at the Piedmont date from the 1930s. I’ve been unable to find any records of vice raids there before 1940, but this doesn’t mean they didn’t happen. On Nov. 23, 1936, the Greensboro Daily News reported one Pedro Miller of Albemarle robbed of $175 while he slept in his room.

Stairwell sign photographed by David Gwynn in 1980 is still there today.

Judge Hoyle’s ordering it padlocked on July 27, 1940. Despite that order, there’s some question of how long the lockdown lasted, or if the doors were actually locked at all as on Aug. 19, the Greensboro Record reported the padlocking “delayed pending outcome of the case” against Coleman.

That outcome came on Sept. 8, when Coleman received his suspended sentence and fine. He doesn’t seem to have been associated with the hotel after that, but if was ever actually shut down, it re-opened as the Astor in 1942 and then the MacArthur from 1943 until the early 1960s, when it closed for good. Edwards Place became

West McGee Street and the upper floors of 106 W. McGee remained untenanted by anyone except pigeons (and ghosts, so I have heard) for almost 40 years.

Inside the legendary bordello The Hamburger Square Bordello, or also known as The Elm Street Brothel, has been a Greensboro urban legend for decades, but like the more recent Tate Street Biker Invasion or the Snake versus Giovanni Shootout, was I could never get a source to talk about on the record. Until now.

I first heard it in the 1980s from bartender Creighton Abrams at the old Rhinoceros Club on Greene Street, and his co-worker who joked (or maybe not) of wanting to revive it. When the hotel’s old location was renovated a decade later, I heard the legend again from Creighton’s brother Tom, who is memorialized on the M’Coul’s mural.

As the years went by, the tale became more redolent of a 19th century New Orleans’ bordello, the kind with red velvet curtains and nude marble statues in a parlor where Johns reclined in plush armchairs and listened to the music of a rinky-dink piano before being ushered up to the women’s rooms. In contrast to this ornate fantasy, Jean recalls it as scarcely having a real lobby, just a landing on the second floor. Like most early 20th century brothels, it would have looked like what it pretended to be, a small budget hotel (albeit, one with a gorgeous Italianate roof, as seen in the 1941 photo) near the train and bus stations, with the bulk of its square footage given over to rooms rather than communal space.

That’s what Gwynn saw in 1980 when he was given permission from the property’s then-owner to enter it and take photos of the rooms once managed by his great-grandfather. It’s also what Simon Ritchy discovered when he purchased the building from Bruce Taylor in 1993.

Ritchy said there wasn’t much left when

he took possession: Two floors, both consisting of a hall lined with six rooms on either side, each room with its own radiator and a communal bathroom with a clawfoot bathtub on each hall. In an eccentric touch, the inner rooms had fake windows painted on their walls.

“We tore down those walls, got rid of everything, made a single room of each floor,” Ritchy said.

The tubs from the bathrooms became planters in his daughter Simonne McClinton’s pub, M’Coul’s. Both Ritchy and McClinton said they’ve heard the hotel was still being used as a brothel up until it closed (that’s not all McClinton has heard, but let’s save that tidbit for a spooky coda).

The bordello’s past and present In the early 1970s, Ritchy said he was told an interesting story by a Greensboro cop. The officer claimed to have first seen Hamburger Square as a soldier in 1952.

Not only did he tell Ritchy that Jim’s Lunch, the corner joint beneath the hotel, had been “the most notorious bar on the East Coast,” but he said that when he inquired about hotel rates, he was told, “$20 a night with, $4 without.” When he asked “with or without what?”, the only response was a curt “If you don’t know, ain’t gonna tell you.”

So how much did a room with Boots, WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

Eileen or Sarah cost twenty years before that? You’d have to ask them. One may still be around.

Let’s close with McClinton, and a story to cool the summer heat by reminding us it must eventually give way to autumn’s chill. M’Coul’s hadn’t been open long when McClinton told me, she started noticing odd things late at night: laughter from the upstairs ladies’ room-- but nobody in it and the sensation of someone brushing by her on the stairs-- but nobody there. Stuff like that. So, she consulted a medium.

When I told McClinton that I had three photographs of women who’d allegedly worked at the bordello in the mid-1930s, she had an immediate question.

“Was one of them named Sarah?” McClinton asked.

I asked her how she knew.

“The medium told me that some of the girls from the bordello had come back, and one of them was named that,” McClinton said.

Unlike McClinton, I’m a skeptic. But next time I’m getting a fried cod sandwich or having a last-call Guinness on a rainy Sunday night when M’Coul’s is almost empty, maybe I’ll step into the upstairs landing, connecting it with Longshank’s and the Green Burro, whisper Sarah’s name, and see if someone I can’t see will softly answer. !

A view of Elm Street as it stands today.

OUR BODIES, OUR SELFIES

My girlfriend of two years had me help her download photos from her phone, and I found about two dozen close-ups of her private parts. She said she was “just Amy Alkon curious.” Well, okay, but why not use a Advice mirror? Besides, she’s Goddess in her 30s. Surely, she knows what her parts look like without a photo shoot. Do you think she took these to send to another guy? — Disturbed Men aren’t used to women being preoccupied with their girlparts. Even in Redneckville, you never see a woman hanging a rubber replica of hers off the back of her pickup.

The truth is, not all women went for a look-see down there with a hand mirror at age 14. Recently, some women may have gotten inspired to do some camera-phone sightseeing thanks to the increased visibility of the ladygarden via free internet porn, the mainstreaming of the waxed-bald vulva, and giant ads for labiaplasty (aka a face-lift for your vagina).

Though it’s possible that your girlfriend is texting these to other guys, consider what anthropologist Donald Symons calls the human tendency “to imagine that other minds are much like our own.” This can lead us to forget about biological sex differences, like how men, who are in no danger of getting pregnant from sex, evolved to be the less sexually discriminating half of humanity. Note that women don’t have to text photos of their naked bits to get sex; they just need to text their address and tell the guy not to dawdle.

It’s hard for many people to tell whether another person is lying, especially when they’re invested in believing otherwise.

Borrowing from research methodology, a way to figure out whether a lone ambiguous event might be meaningful — like whether the panty hamster pictorial might mean what you dread it does — is to see how much company it has. (In other words, is it part of a pattern?)

Look back on your girlfriend’s behavior over your two years together. Does she act ethically — even when she thinks nobody’s looking? Does it, in fact, mean something to her to do the right thing? Being honest with yourself about whether she has a pattern of ethical corner-cutting will allow you to make the best (that is, most informed)

guess about whether you have something to worry about — beyond coming home to a, um, new addition to the framed photos of her parents’ anniversary and your nephew with his Little League trophy.

FALLING IN LEAVE

My relationship ended recently, and I asked my ex not to contact me. But just as I’d start feeling a little less sad, I’d hear from him and fall apart. I’ve now blocked him on my phone and social media. This seems so immature. Why can’t I be more grown up about this? — Incommunicado For you, breaking up but staying in contact makes a lot of sense — about the same sort as trying to drop 20 pounds while working as a frosting taster.

Sure, there’s this notion that you “should” be able to be friends with your ex. Some people can be — eventually or even right away — especially if they had a relationship that just fizzled out instead of the kind where you need a rowboat to make it to the kitchen through the river of your tears.

However — not surprisingly — clinical psychologists David Sbarra and Robert Emery find that “contact with one’s former partner ... can stall the emotional adjustment process” by reactivating both love and painful emotions. For example, in their survey of people who’d recently gone through a breakup, “on days when participants reported having telephone or in-person contact with their former partner, they also reported more love and sadness.”

It might help you to understand how adjusting to the new “no more him” thing works. In a serious relationship, your partner becomes a sort of emotional support animal — the one you always turn to for affection, attention, and comforting. This habit of turning toward him gets written into your brain on a neural level, becoming increasingly automatic over time.

Post-breakup, you turn and — oops — there’s no boo, only a faint dent in his side of the bed. Your job in healing is to get used to this change — which you don’t do by having him keep popping up, messing with your new belief that he’s no longer available for emotional need-meeting.

That’s why, in a situation like yours, breaking up with your boyfriend should work like breaking up with your couch.

When the thing gets dropped off at the city dump, it stays there; you don’t come out on your porch the next morning to it saying, “Hey, babe...was in the neighborhood, so I thought I’d bring over some of your stuff — 36 cents, a pen cap, and this hair elastic.” !

[HOROSCOPES] [CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your plans and ideas may be challenged by another at this time. You must have clarity about who you have become In order to hold your own in this situation. Do your best to generate a win-win situation out of the duel, and avoid a frank battle of wills. Each of you has a truth. A larger perspective will house both.

[LEO (July 23 to August 22) Use care not to make promises for which you can’t deliver. Someone who seems powerful in your life may be asking you to perform some task that is beyond realistic. Maybe it is you. Don’t let yourself get trapped into a high stress situation. It could be hard on your health.

[VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Negative attitudes or habit patterns of thought may be your undoing this week. Reach beyond them for a meditative place that gives answers to serious questions and encouragement from your source. Avoid signing contracts at this time because it is possible your thinking is skewed.

[LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Use special care with your body this week.

You might overdo. Think carefully before you respond to the requests of others.

Their needs may be beyond your abilities.

Be especially cautious if the request is prefaced by flattering remarks about your talents.

[SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Old issues may surface in any relationship. This time frame is an exercise in truth telling and open discussions of what you know. If you sense that someone, whether you or the other, is not forthright, do your best to create an environment of trust. Give attention to noises or signs that your vehicle is not operating well.

[SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Please read the lead paragraph because it applies to you in spades this week. Forward motion is halted in a variety of directions. You need more resources (i.e. time, money, energy) to accomplish your aim and at this time those resources are scarce. Consider whether there is a creative way to move forward if you think outside the box.

[CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The Capricorn Goat is so focused on his or her direction that he sometimes becomes overbearing and pushy to others.

Now is a time in which partners or other significant people are not cooperating.

They may be fatigued with your constant management and delegation of projects.

Ease off if you want to maintain these relationships.

[AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Beware the liar. The probability is high you will encounter one this week, someone who believes his own story, thus making it unclear if (s)he is telling the truth. Check out the sources and ask other people who may know something about the situation. Don’t accept anything of importance at face value.

[PISCES (February 19 to March 20) It is possible that you are not feeling well this week. You may be subject to allergy symptoms that keep you subdued. Your self-talk is likely to be on the dark side and mainly due to your fears for the future. The Inner Critic is not necessarily in touch with the whole truth, even though it feels real enough when it rattles on in your head.

[ARIES (March 21 to April 19) See the lead paragraph. You may be trying to accomplish something related to property.

The rules or the laws are getting in the way. Perhaps there is a piece or a part that is at a distance and you must wait for its arrival. Maybe you can be creative and search for another way around the objective.

[TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Yesterday your ruling planet, Venus, entered the second house of income and self-worth.

She will remain there until the end of July. Your concerns about finances will feel lightened. Debts owed to you may be paid. Meanwhile others will let you know how much you are appreciated.

[GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Venus entered your sign yesterday and will be traveling “with you” through the end of July. Her presence gives you an air of poise and people will simply like how you look. She is a people attractor. Often when Venus is prominent we become more interested in art forms and other things of beauty.
