More creativealternate-sitesurgery: Doctors

from the University ofCalifornia, San Diego, andthe University ofWashington announced inSeptember that they couldjust as well handle certainbrain surgeries by accessnot in the traditional waythrough the top of theskull but by drilling holesin the nose and, morerecently, the eye socket.(Since classic brainsurgery requires that thetop of the skull betemporarily removed, thebreakthroughs mean fewercomplications.)

The continuing crisisIn a heartwarming

climax to an adopted son’semotional search for hisbirth mother (who gavehim up for adoption 33years ago), Richard Lorencof Kansas managed totrack down mom VivianWheeler, 62, living inBakersfield, Calif., whereshe is retired — as acircus-sideshow “beardedlady” (the result ofhypertrichosis, also

known as “werewolfsyndrome”). Lorenc saidhe can see theirsimilarities right throughWheeler’s beard, whichshe keeps now at a lengthof 11 inches. Therelationship was to beconfirmed by a DNA test paid for by the Maury Povich TV show,but at press time, theresult had not beenannounced.

Sports fans over theline: (1) Marie Murphy, afifth-grade teacher inStratford, N.J., and herhusband lost almosteverything in a house firein April, but when shearrived at the burninghome, she defiedfirefighters and dashedinside to retrieve a singleprized possession: herPhiladelphia Philliesseason tickets. “Myhusband was so mad at me...” (Later, a Philliesrepresentative gentlyinformed her that theteam would have reprintedher tickets for free.)

Jennifer Tesch’sdaughter, Kennedy, waskicked off her cheerleadersquad (supporting a youthflag-football team) inMadison Heights, Mich.,after complaining to hermother about the saucylanguage of one of thecheers in the girls’repertoire: “Our backsache!/Our skirts are too

tight!/We shake ourbooties!/From left toright!” Kennedy andJennifer thought that wasinappropriate, consideringthat Kennedy is 6 yearsold. The team, given thechance to renounce thecheer, voted in Septemberto keep it and instead topunish Kennedy for takingthe dispute public.

Bright ideasA breakthrough in

political campaigntechnology: New Yorkgubernatorial candidateCarl Paladino, waging aparticularly contentiousbattle, mailed out a flier inSeptember suggesting thatDemocratic statepoliticians are corrupt,with photos of seven ofthat party’s current andrecent office-holders andaccompanied by a specialodor-triggering paper thatreleases a “garbage-scented” smell whenexposed to air (and whichsupposedly grows evenmore foul over time).

Sherin Brown, 23,happened to be walkingthrough a Brooklyn, N.Y.,neighborhood in August atthe exact moment that atractor-trailer accidentallyclipped a light pole,sending it crashing to thesidewalk. First respondersfound Brown pinned underthe pole, screaming for

help, and had her taken toa hospital. Afterward,investigators discovered anearby surveillancecamera, which revealedthat Brown had steppedout of the way of thefalling pole but then,with no one else around,had crawled underneathand began wailing in“pain,” perhaps inanticipation of a futurelawsuit.

Undignified DeathsMean streets: (1) A

23-year-old man onChicago’s South Side isstill alive after he reportedbeing shot twice on Sept.17 by different people indifferent neighborhoods.He was shot above thearmpit just after midnight,was treated and released ata hospital, and then wasshot again in the leg about10 hours later.

(2) During a shootout inNew York City on Aug. 8,Angel Alvarez, 23, wasbrought down in a hail ofgunfire and taken toHarlem Hospital, wheredoctors saved his life,though they found 21bullet wounds (Alvarez’slawyer said 23). Alvarez’ssister called her brother’smiraculous survival“ridiculous.”

MOVIES ART MUSIC COVER STORY THEATER THINGS TO DO BOOKS DANCE FESTIVALS

BY ADAM TESTATHE SOUTHERN

HERRIN — Visitors creep down darkhallways, hands tightly gripping theshoulder of the friend in front of them.

Unsure what lies around each corner,groups navigate their way through thevarious rooms — some lighted, othersnot — of Chittyville School.

Much of the terror comes from within,where visitors attempt to mentallyprepare for what might be in store whenthey turn a corner.

But, in reality, natural fears of theunknown aren’t enough to invoke thedesired screams of horror and fright-filled reactions of the organizers of thehaunted house.

That requires a more personal touch.“I don’t think people realize how much

acting goes into a haunt,” said TaraWebb, office manager of KFS Events,which sponsors the annual Haunting ofChittyville School. “You have to be

unrecognizable and completely insane.You have to become that character, justlike you’re in a movie.”

And becoming a character is somethingWebb and the other actors and actressesworking inside the haunted houseembrace. Even if they’re portraying ageneric character, like Webb’s “ghostlady,” they seek to add a personal flair tothe ensemble.

While it begins with an over-the-toppersonality, that type of characterbuilding also requires several other finetouches. Theater makeup becomes a keyplayer and can make or break a successfulhaunter.

“The makeup has a lot to do with it,”said Taylor King, whose parents Frankand Vickie King own and operate thehaunted school. “If you can’t evenrecognize yourself, you’re really going tobecome that character.”

And once the character is developed,performers have to learn the tricks of thetrade. Webb said she’s been working

much more with actors on developinglittle additions to the show that will addnew layers to the scare tactics.

Among the key tools in the haunter’skit are secret passageways and hiddenhalls that allow the actors to moveunknowingly ahead in the set, creatingan opportunity to scare a patron just asthey think they’ve made it past thatparticular character.

And while many haunted houses caterto an all-age demographic, the Hauntingof Chittyville is promoted for an oldercrowd.

This dynamic also adds a layer offlexibility to what lengths the performerscan go to in order to achieve their goal ofa blood-curdling scream.

“At night, it’s full on. We have adisclaimer and you’re in for a scare,”Webb said. “We don’t hold back.”

But for one afternoon, the staff andperformers at Chittyville School will putaway the blood and gore and make wayfor area children to come through and see

the elaborate set that’s been created. Thebuilding’s lights will be turned on and itscharacters toned down for a matineefrom 2 to 4 p.m. Oct. 23, where candywill be provided to visiting children.

Between meeting with children duringthe matinee and scaring their peersduring the regular shows, Webb and Kingsaid there are countless stories to shareat the end of each night.

And that’s a feeling Jessica Kocher islooking forward to experiencing thisyear.

Last year, the Herrin woman visited thehaunt as a guest and experienced thescares. But this year, she’ll be on theother end of the equation, as she’sjoining the array of characters lining theschool’s makeshift halls.

“I get to see what I looked like when Iwalked through that door, wonderingwhat’s coming,” Kocher said.

Theater of IllusionKevin and Cindy Spencer;7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 15;Carson Center, 100Kentucky Ave., Paducah;tickets are $15 for adultsand $7.50 for studentsyounger than 18.

BY ADAM TESTATHE SOUTHERN

PADUCAH — Two typesof people attend amodern-day magic show:those willing to suspendtheir disbelief forentertainment and thoseseeking to debunk eachact.

For traveling illusionistKevin Spencer, peoplefrom both philosophiesbelong in the crowd.

“A good audience is acombo of both of them,”said Spencer, who alongwith his wife, Cindy,performs the nationallyrenown “Theater ofIllusion.”

“I love being on stagelooking at the crowd andseeing people elbow theirneighbor and whisper intheir ear and having themshrug their shoulders.”

The Spencers bring theirshow — which blends thebest elements of classictheater, a rock concert anda magic show — to theCarson Center on Friday,Oct. 15. Along with thecouple comes 12 tons ofequipment used to createthe second largest magicor illusionist show in thenation, behind only legendDavid Copperfield.

And unlike Copperfield,the Spencers prefer life onthe road, traveling fromcity to city. They meetnew people, work withnew crews, see differentparts of the world and areforced to adapt their showdepending on the stageand space limitations ofeach venue.

“I love that challenge,”Spencer said. “I think itkeeps the magic fresh andentertaining.”

Among other illusions,Spencer recreates a 1914Harry Houdini illusionwhere he walks through asolid, concrete wall withan audience member onthe stage to ensure theauthenticity of the act.

But much like the rest oftheir illusions, the

Spencers have modernizedand improved this act bymaking it more theatricalin nature, taking it from “agreat illusion” to “abrilliant piece of theater.”

The show may be gearedtoward adults but it’s alsoappropriate for children ofall ages, Spencer said. Andif the show’s done right, itmay just bring out theinner child in everyone.

“People enjoy beingmystified,” he said. “All ofus have this thing in usthat believes anything ispossible. As children webelieve that, but as we getolder we get more jadedand skeptical.”

In addition to theaterand fair performances, theSpencers also spend muchof their time on the road athospitals, schools andother social serviceorganizations.

They founded “TheHealing of Magic” and“Hocus Focus,” which helpcombine simple magictricks with rehabilitationand education for childrenwith learning disabilities.

Haunted Hall of Horror

David Allan Coe focuses on music, not past

David Allan Coe walksto the beat of adifferent drum. His

actions are always off-center and borderlinecrazy. However, afterstripping away the dirtylong hair, countlesstattoos and unpredictablebehavior, there is acreative genius.

He started to build hismassive catalog of over10,000 tunes whileincarcerated during the1960s. The 71-year-oldOhio native has created abody of work thatcompares well to anysinger/songwriter thatever walked the beer-soaked streets ofNashville.

With just his third singlein 1975, Coe created vocalmagic with “You NeverEven Called Me By MyName,” a staple at karaokeshows and drunkenwedding receptions. Hiswriting skills wereshowcased in the 1977Johnny Paycheck anthem

“Take This Job and ShoveIt.”

These two songs fueled acareer that has spawnedcommercial hits like“Mona Lisa Lost HerSmile,” “The Ride” and“She Used To Love Me ALot.” Coe was a majorplayer in country music’soutlaw movement of the1970s with tunes like“Willie, Waylon and Me,”“Jack Daniels If YouPlease” and “LonghairedRedneck.”

Coe will be in concert at7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct.21, at the Luther CarsonFour Rivers Center inPaducah.

Tickets are $50, $35 and$25 and can be purchasedby calling 270-450-4444.Also appearing will be theTony Logue Band and TheCounty.

In the early 1980s, in theprime of his career, Coereleased two X-ratedalbums that were sold atlive shows and truck stops.Although profitable, hewould like to forget thisperiod and emphasizemore powerful creationsrecorded by Tanya Tucker,Willie Nelson, GeorgeJones, Johnny Cash andWaylon Jennings.

“I just want people tostart listening to the musicand quit talking aboutDavid Allan Coe theperson,” Coe says. “Talkabout the music. Look intothe music. Find out thatthere’s more to me thantwo X-rated albums.”

Released from the OhioState Penitentiary in 1968,Coe migrated to Nashville.He was a shameless self-promoter.

He lived in an old hearsewith his name painted onthe side and would park itin front of the RymanAuditorium as hugecrowds were flocking intothe Grand Ole Opry.

As he honed the roughedges from his writingskills, he made friends inthe songwritingcommunity. Mel Tillisgave him a rhinestone suitand he was soon stuckwith “The MysteriousRhinestone Cowboy”moniker.

Mystery has alwaysclouded his career. Heclaims to have taughtCharles Manson how toplay guitar and that JimmyHoffa bought him his firsttour bus.

STUDIOHelen Mirren stars in ‘Red,’ which opens Friday in Carbondale and Marion.

Seeing ‘Red’ in this violent thriller‘Red’ **1/2

Rated PG-13 for intensesequences of actionviolence and brief stronglanguage; starring BruceWillis, Mary-Louise Parker,Morgan Freeman, HelenMirren and JohnMalkovich; directed byRobert Schwentke;opening Friday atShowPlace 8 inCarbondale and IllinoisCentre 8 in Marion.

BY ROGER MOOREMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS

Oh, that “Red” was thegiddy romp it might havebeen, it promises to be orit thinks it is.

It has the best cast ofany action comedy movie,maybe ever: four Oscarwinners plus Bruce Willis.But despite that and awinning concept — thatsomebody, maybe ingovernment, is trying tokill off aged, retired CIAassassins — directorRobert “Flightplan”

Schwentke never lets thisone achieve takeoff.

Willis plays FrankMoses, a lonely, retiredgovernment agent whoseone joy in his solitary lifeis flirting with the ladywho makes sure hispension checks show up.He even pretends hehasn’t received thosechecks just for the chanceto chat with Sarah, playedwith doe-eyed, flirtatiousenthusiasm by Mary-Louise Parker.

But Frank’s life in hidingcomes to a bullet-riddledend. Not his life, just hisseclusion. He grabs Sarah— who is frightened,outraged, appalled andmaybe a little turned on.

They go on the lam,scrambling to find oldcolleagues as a governmentagent (Karl Urban) stayshot, or at least lukewarm,on their trail. Willisdelivers his ageless brandof action cool — one neatstunt has him stepping outof a spinning car andsqueezing off a few roundsat his pursuers in the

middle of the FrenchQuarter. But what sellsthis are those other“retired, extremelydangerous” agents. HelenMirren is hilariously drolland unflappable. JohnMalkovich is even morehilarious and utterlyflappable.

There’s even a winningcameo by ancient Oscarwinner Ernest Borgnine.

That old Hollywoodsaying, “Good villainsmake good thrillers,” ispretty much where “Red”comes up short.

The solution to themystery of who is afterthem and why is aletdown. And the fellowpulling the strings doesnothing surprising.Urban’s earnestness is notenough to sustain interestuntil we finally confrontMr. Big.

But “Red” has enoughacting flourishes andincidental action pleasuresto make it an adrenaline-jacked giggle, if notexactly the romp one sofervently expects.

Third Full Weekend of Every Month!


‘Jackass 3D’Johnny Knoxville and his band of crazies return to the bigscreen this weekend with more death-defying, totally stupidstunts ... this time in 3-D.But the return of Knoxville’s popular ‘Jackass,’ which originallylaunched as an MTV television show, comes with one additionalstunt: not screening the film for advance review.Why didn’t Paramount screen it for critics? We asked. Haven’treceived an answer. But it’s safe to assume that no review coulddissuade “Jackass” fans from showing up.Why we’d see it: The whole “Jackass” phenomenon appeals tothe drunken frat boy in each of us. And did we mention it’s in 3-D?Why we wouldn’t: We already have enough stupidity in our lives.The movie is rated R for male nudity, extremely crude anddangerous stunts and language. Directed by Jeff Tremaine, thefilm stars Knoxville, Steve-O, Bam Margera, Chris Pontius andJason Acuna. It opens Friday at Showplace 8 in Carbondale.

‘High’A play starring Kathleen Turner;through Nov. 7 at The RepertoryTheatre of St. Louis, 130 EdgarRoad, St. Louis; $15-73; call 314-968-4925 for tickets or moreinfo.

BY JUDITH NEWMARKTHE SOUTHERN NEWS SERVICES

Twenty years ago, whenKathleen Turner was gettingready to play the iconic Maggiethe Cat in a Broadway revival of“Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” “all thepeople in LA were saying, ‘Don’tdo it. They’ll kill you. You’re amovie star.”‘

Recalling those impassionedpleas, Turner smiled and shookher head.

“I said, no, you really don’t getit,” she said. “I’m betteronstage.”

She always figured she wouldbe.

Even in her teens, when shefirst dreamed of an actingcareer, and in her 20s, whenspectacular success arrived withher first film, “Body Heat,”Turner was convinced that shebelonged on the stage.

She also suspected that, unlikemovie roles that drew on hergolden glamour, stage roleswould likely get better withtime.

She wasn’t wrong about that,either.

At 56, the actress with theunmistakable smoky voice andtigress stride has built such a bigstage reputation that she canpretty much call her own shots.She’s had some big successes inLondon and New York, notablyas the predatory Mrs. Robinson

in a stage adaptation of “TheGraduate” and as the hellish,tormented faculty wife Marthain “Who’s Afraid of VirginiaWoolf?” She’s also in a positionto put a new play on aBroadway-bound track, mainlyon the strength of her name inthe cast.

That’s just what she did forMatthew Lombardo’s “High,”which opened Wednesday at the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis.

Directing the play’s world-premiere production throughNov. 7 is Rob Ruggiero, whodirected the Rep’s productionsof “Take Me Out,” “Urinetown,”“Ella” and “The Little DogLaughed,” winning a Kevin KlineAward for each one.

“High” started atTheatreWorks in Hartford,Conn. (Ruggiero’s hometheater), then played thePlayhouse in the Park inCincinnati. Lombardo andRuggiero have been rewriting and refining along the way.

The two first approachedTurner about a different showthey were working on,“Looped,” a comedy aboutlegendary actress TallulahBankhead. But Turner hadalready portrayed Bankhead in“Tallulah!” and wasn’tinterested.

“When I say, ‘Been there, donethan,’ I mean it,” she explained.

“Looped” went on toBroadway success with ValerieHarper.

But the men impressed herwith their energy andenthusiasm, so the door wasopen when they came back withanother script, one that draws

on Lombardo’s addiction tocrystal meth. (He’s been cleanfor more than three years.)

In “High,” Turner plays SisterJamison Connelly, a hard-bittennun who works at a treatmentcenter for drug addicts.

The priest in charge (played byMichael Berresse) insists thatshe take on the case of ateenager she doesn’t think shecan help, a male prostituteaddicted to meth and whoknows what else.

Cody (Evan Jonigkeit) provesto be an even more difficultpatient than Sister Jamisonforesaw, forcing her to confronther own demons.

Among other things, Codytries to seduce her. It’s a long,agonizing scene, one thatJonigkeit plays in the nude.

Turner, who had a far briefernude scene in “The Graduate,”gives the young actor credit forperforming with conviction.Onstage nudity is “tough, so

tough,” she said.“I wonder if it’s worse for a

man than for a woman? At thetime (of ‘The Graduate’), I was48,” Turner said. “So part of itwas, HAH! I was just so sick ofhearing how a woman can’t beattractive after 40.

“But you know something?Nudity turns into just anothercostume.”

If age was one ego-eater thatshe defied in her nude scene, amore powerful one was pain.

Turner has rheumatoidarthritis. In her memoir,“Send Yourself Roses,” shelays it all out: goingonstage in “Indiscretions”after packing her swollenfeet in ice to cram theminto high heels, weepinghelplessly in the bathroomuntil her daughter Rachel,a little girl at the time,came to squeeze a bottle ofskin lotion for her. Shecouldn’t do that herself.

“Pain is a real mind-bender,” sighed Turner,who attributes her divorcefrom a New Yorkbusinessman partly to thestrain that her illnessplaced on the marriage. “Itstrips you of so much —your confidence, yourphysicality. It’s very hardon a relationship.”

It’s also hard on a career,particularly a career asphysically demanding aslive theater.

In recent years, Turnercounts herself lucky to feelpretty good again. Newdrugs came along, drugsthat helped her feel goodenough to take the next

step, physical therapy.She’s determined to keepmoving, a regimen thatnow includes three or fourPilates classes every week.

“I got my hands back!”she exclaims, making fists,and grins. “I don’t wearheels anymore.”

Turner was born inSpringfield, Mo., whichshe considers herhometown although shedidn’t exactly grow upthere. Her father, RichardTurner, was in the ForeignService; while the familywas in Belgium, hermother, Patsy MageeTurner, returned to theU.S. to give birth toKathleen, the third of theirfour children. Turner’sgrandparents had a farmjust outside the city, aplace where the childrenspent happy vacationsfishing in the creek andpicking peaches, “everykid’s dream of summer.”

Because of RichardTurner’s career, the familymoved a lot: Canada,Cuba, Venezuela. Then,when Turner was about

14, they moved to England— not a bad place to takethe theater plunge.

“The start of real actingfor me began in London,”she writes in her memoir.“There were seven of us(in her international highschool) who were sort of atheater mafia. Weproduced, directed, acted,chose the plays. ... It wasgreat fun.”

Turner hoped tocontinue theater studies ata college in London. Then,while he was working inhis rose garden, RichardTurner dropped dead. Itwas a week before hisdaughter’s graduation

The older children werealready back in the UnitedStates, going to college.With few choices and afast decision to make,Patsy Turner and heryounger children returnedto her parents andSpringfield.

Kathleen Turner didn’thave many options, either:She headed across town toenroll in SouthwestMissouri State University

(now Missouri State).“It was really the only

thing to do at the time,”Turner said. “I don’t knowthat it had to beSpringfield, but it wasgood to come back. Itmade me an Americanactress rather than a fakeBritish actress.”

Patsy Turner still lives inSpringfield, an activevolunteer for arts andchild-welfare causes. (Herdaughter gives her aspecial present: Once ayear, Turner does a benefitfor an organization of hermother’s choosing.) Sheand some of her friendsare coming to St. Louis tosee “High.”

“That reminds me,”Turner said. “I need tosend her a copy of thescript.

“I want her to beforewarned.”
