<BR>
The Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre is pleased to announce that Darol Anger's Republic of Strings featuring Scott Nygaard will appear in concert on Thursday, October 27, at 7:30 PM.<BR>
<BR>
"Darol Anger is the quintessential improvising violinist," says Dr. Billy Tayler of CBS Sunday Morning. Eric Fidler of the Associated Press says, "Darol Anger has been obliterating musical borders for years, but never to better effect. ... the Darol Anger Fiddle Ensemble creates rich, lusciously textured, complex and quite beautiful music."<BR>
<BR>
Renowned for his versatility and depth, Darol Anger has helped mastermind the evolution of the American string band with his groundbreaking groups The Turtle Island String Quartet, Fiddlers 4, Psychograss, Newgrange, Montreux, and the David Grisman Quintet. Michael John Simmons of Amazon.com says, "Harmonically complex, rhythmically rich arrangements. You might call this improvised Afro-Scandivanian Irish old-time string band music, but it would be equally true, and much simpler, to just say they play great music."<BR>
<BR>
The concert is sponsored by local businesses Advantage America Mortgage and Hayden, Ross & Co. and is funded in part by the Idaho Commission on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.<BR>
<BR>
Tickets for the concert are on sale at BookPeople of Moscow. Tickets are $16 for adults and $12 for seniors, children, or students with ID and can also be charged by phone to 208-882-4127. There is a $.50 per ticket fee on all charge card orders.<BR>

downtown Moscow. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. For food and drink, with the movie<BR>

<BR>
Look for Penguins and Tuxedos gracing the front of the Kenworthy Performing<BR>
Arts Centre that evening. In the spirit of Halloween, we encourage everyone<BR>
to dress as a Penguin (or in other related garb: Polar Bears, Puffins,<BR>
Batman, Robin, etc). Pizza from the Moscow Food Co-op's new location will<BR>
be served hot that evening, and wine, beer and other beverages will be<BR>
catered by Mikey's! Additional sponsors for the evening include: Resource<BR>

This film, narrated by Morgan Freeman, takes the audience on a truly<BR>
remarkable journey through the Antarctic. Every March since the beginning<BR>
of time, the Penguins have made their quest to find the perfect mate and<BR>
start a family. This courtship begins with a journey across the continent<BR>
by foot, in freezing temperatures, icy winds and through deep, treacherous<BR>
waters. On this journey Penguins risk starvation and attack by predators,<BR>
all in the harshest conditions on earth to find true love.<BR>

This week’s review-<BR>
</B><BR>
<FONT COLOR="#800000"><H2>Ladies in Lavender<BR>
</H2></FONT><BR>
Directed by Charles Dance; written by Mr. Dance, based on the short story by William J. Locke<BR>
<BR>
Running time: 104 minutes. This film is rated PG-13.<BR>
"Ladies in Lavender" is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). It has some strong language and mild innuendo.<BR>
<BR>
<B><I><U>As reviewed by Stephen Holden writing for the New York Times<BR>
</U></I></B><BR>
"Ladies in Lavender" offers the opportunity to watch two beloved dames of the British Empire rattle around a house in Cornwall, exchanging snippets of subtext-heavy dialogue in the breaks between picking flowers, knitting and listening to the radio. The year is 1936, and through the static we discern that across the English Channel, world war is a-brewing. <BR>
<BR>
Those facts should stir the hearts of diehard Anglophiles of a certain generation into a frothy pitter-patter. What bliss that these purple personages should be played by none other than Dames Judi Dench and Maggie Smith! <BR>
<BR>
But don't set your expectations too high. As Ursula and Janet Widdington, twittering sisters of late middle age who share a house on a bluff with their fussy housekeeper, Dorcas (Miriam Margolyes), these two great actresses sink into their roles as comfortably as house cats burrowing into a down quilt on a windswept, rainy night. (And since this is Cornwall, such nights are plentiful.) <BR>
<BR>
But those hoping to see two pedigreed felines arch their backs and claw at the scenery will be disappointed. The most high drama unleashed by either sister is the discreet, disapproving little hiss that Janet (Dame Maggie) releases in reaction to the romantic disorientation of her emotionally vulnerable younger sister, Ursula (Dame Judi). Otherwise, Dame Maggie keeps her withering hauteur firmly in check. <BR>
<BR>
One morning after the latest piece of major weather has blown by Cornwall, what should the sisters discover on the rocky beach below their home but an unconscious young man washed up by the angry sea? The rest of the movie explores the identity of this mystery guest, as the doting duo revive and nurse him back to health with the assistance of a local doctor (David Warner). While recovering his health, the stranger is revealed to be - what else? - a violin virtuoso! <BR>
<BR>
Only in bittersweet dramas about lonely older women do shipwrecked young men with princely airs emerge from the sea to stir the dying embers in the hearth. For this amiably far-fetched film, the direction of Charles Dance, who adapted the screenplay from a short story by William J. Locke, heralds the return of the Comfy Movie (increasingly rare nowadays), the cinematic equivalent of a visit from a cherished but increasingly dithery maiden aunt. <BR>
<BR>
In this fading, sentimental genre peopled with grandes dames (usually English) making "grande" pronouncements, the world revolves around tea, gardening and misty watercolor memories. Terence Rattigan and Noël Coward perfected the Comfy Movie's tone of stiff-upper-lip sadness and nobility leavened with enlightenment. <BR>
<BR>
The handsome stranger on the shore, Andrea Marowski (Daniel Brühl), is eventually revealed to be a Polish émigré fleeing to the United States. Exactly how he was pitched into the sea is left to our imaginations. All we're given is a fleeting, clumsily inserted flashback of the young man flailing around underwater. <BR>
<BR>
Janet, who lost her husband in World War I, has known true love and accepted its loss, but Ursula, whose maternal doting on Andrea mutates into a romantic fixation, hasn't. The delicate kernel of the story follows Ursula's increasingly besotted state and her embarrassment as Andrea recovers and casts his eyes elsewhere.<BR>
<BR>
A nearby cottage is occupied by an attractive young painter, Olga Danilof (Natascha McElhone, looking alarmingly cadaverous, with sunken cheeks and zombie eyes), a summer visitor who spends her days perched in front of an easel overlooking the sea. Olga, drawn by the sound of Andrea playing a borrowed fiddle, strays onto the Widdington property and is immediately perceived as a threat. That doesn't prevent her from asking Andrea if she can paint his portrait. <BR>
<BR>
As its romantic score (composed by Nigel Hess and played by Joshua Bell) billows and swells, "Ladies in Lavender" suggests a more level-headed variation of "Humoresque." Here, at least, nobody ends up walking into the sea in an alcoholic funk to the strains of the "Liebestod" wafting over the radio. Joan Crawford had to die for our sins. These staunch English ladies wouldn't dream of making such a stupid sacrifice.<BR>
<BR>
<B><I><U>As reviewed by Ann Hornaday writing for the Washington Post<BR>
</U></I></B><BR>
How does Maggie Smith do it? How does she turn the slightest of dialogue, something as inconsequential as "Just as well," and make it fall-down, side-splittingly, laugh-out-loud funny? It's her delivery, of course, her deadpan, skeptical gaze combined with that signature glottal trill, but it's something more. It's Maggie and, at the risk of waxing maudlin for a moment, when she goes, that ineffable Maggie way with a line will lamentably go with her.<BR>
<BR>
So make haste for the closest theater showing "Ladies in Lavender," a funny, civilized little romantic drama in which Smith co-stars with the equally estimable Judi Dench. They play, respectively, Janet and Ursula Widdington, maiden sisters who live in a cozy, well-appointed cottage in Cornwall. After a storm, the two discover something entirely unexpected washed up on their beach: a half-drowned young man (Daniel Bruhl) who speaks no English and only a little German. (It's the fact that he isn't German, by the way, that prompts Smith's character's aforementioned mordant response.)<BR>
<BR>
While the handsome stranger recovers in the sisters' spare room, it emerges that his name is Andrea, he's Polish and he has hidden talents that, as he regains mobility, will inspire passion, jealousy and even suspicion in the sisters' tightly knit little town. A mysterious beauty (played by the impossibly gorgeous Natascha McElhone) keeps turning up, her ease and evident attraction to Andrea unsettling the two proper Widdingtons. Meanwhile, he's put Ursula in something of a swivet, as she ever so discreetly succumbs to long-latent sexual desires and dreams of romance. "Ladies in Lavender" derives its humor from the almost fish-out-of-water story of an outsider at large in a tiny, parochial town, but it's just as effective as a poignant portrait of one woman who has loved and lost, and another who never had a love to lose.<BR>
