The first 2019 fall movie in the
Classic Movie Series in Bigfork, “North to <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Alaska</st1:place></st1:state>” should be seen purely for fun. This
action comedy takes place during the Alaskan gold rush days of the late 1890s.
The stars were a strange combination that included basically someone for
everyone. John Wayne, came with his “built-in” audience, Fabian attracted teen
agers, Ernie Kovacs was appreciated by the comedy seeking audience and the
beautiful Capucine captivated the males. The movie made over 10 million
dollars, and gave the studio a nice profit. The Johnny Horton’s famous title
song was one of the year’s biggest hits. This movie classic will be shown by
Jack Nachbar at the Edge Theater in Bigfork. It will be accompanied by Jack’s
presentation providing a better understanding of the time period of the
movie. Date: Thursday September 12<sup>th</sup>. Time: 6:30PM.
Price: FREE of charge.</div>

The film released at a perfect time <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Alaska</st1:place></st1:state> became a state in 1959 and was still
in the news. Briefly it is about a prospector, named George who wanted a
bride. So he sends his partner Sam to <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seattle</st1:place></st1:city>
to pick her up and bring her back. Rather strange now, but back then when
claims needed protection and the presence of the owner, it was not that
outlandish.<br />

However, the plot thickens when the prospective bride is already
married. So George does a reasonable thing to him and resourcefully, he gets a
replacement: a pretty substitute who is the hostess of the “henhouse” dance
hall.</div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13.5pt;">The third 2019 movie in the Classic Movie Series in Bigfork is a
western classic that will keep your attention trying to figure out exactly what
happened and will happen. “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” has more twists
and turns than a cork screw with a flashback within a flashback. And the final
twist comes with the last line of the movie. The movie stars James Stuart and
John Wayne in roles which are very complicated and interesting. The film was
made in 1962 in black and white, while the whole industry was turning to color.
However, the paying audience certainly did not need color. It was the 16<sup>th</sup> highest
grossing film of 1962. It grossed 8 million dollars while costing 3.2 million
to produce. It got one Oscar nomination for costume design, won two Golden
Laurel Award Nominations, winning one, and in 2007 was added to the USA
National Film Registry. This Movie Classic will be
shown at the Edge Theater in Bigfork by Jack Nachbar. It will be accompanied by
Jack’s presentation providing a better understanding of the time period of the
movie. Date: Thursday March 14</span><sup><span style="color: #222222;">th</span></sup><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13.5pt;">. Time: 6:30PM. Price: FREE of

<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13.5pt;">Director John Ford, said he shot the film in black and white
because ”In black and white, you’ve got to be very careful. You’ve got to
know your job, lay your shadows in properly, get your perspective right…” He
said he preferred it. But that’s only one of many speculations about the
lack of color. If you see the movie on the “big screen” in a darkened theater
you will also get a sense of the “film noir” quality of the story. For me
this fits the mood of the story best. </span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

be. There was bickering on a number of fronts from the stars to the
director. When there is that much growling on a movie set, be it true or just
rumor, it probably involved money, publicity, and “billing” on the advertising.
That was the case here, and Jack will have to be the one to sort it all out
when he shows this one at the Edge.</span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

The second 2019 movie in the
Classic Movie series in Bigfork is the classic love story “<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Wuthering</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Heights</st1:placetype></st1:place>,”
just in time for Valentines Day. Made in 1939 this is a black and white movie
that needs to be seen on the big screen to really be appreciated. The movie
headliners Merle Oberon and Sir Laurence Olivier were some of the eight
nominations for Oscars. It won an Oscar for best Cinematography. It’s
haunting and beautiful music “Cathy’s Theme” is remarkable and is still
remembered. The movie got a nomination for the best film score, but lost to
“The Wizard of Oz”…bad luck on that one. This February Movie Classic will be
shown at the Edge Theater in Bigfork by Jack Nachbar. It will be accompanied by

The movie takes place later than the period the book depicts, and does not cover all the chapters in

all on the screen. Just go and see a great love story with passion and depth
that will move you.</div>

Two of the stars, Merle Oberon and Sir
Laurence Olivier disliked each other and Merle is said to have asked the
director William Wyler after he stopped one particular romantic scene if
William could please ask Sir Laurence to stop spitting at her. At one point
producer Sam Goldwyn took Sir Lawrence aside to what seemed to be a quiet talk.
Sir Lawrence was hobbled by some sort of foot problem and had to use crutches
between scenes. Instead of a quiet discussion Goldwyn had a rather loud
discussion about several things all unpleasant. The quiet talk was pre-arranged
between Goldwyn and Wyler so they could play “bad cop-good cop” to help Wyler
deal with Sir Lawrence.</div>

It has been so long since the movie
was made that many of the trivia stories you can read about the movie are
substantially different than the truth. In one place you might read that Heather was brought
from Europe and planted where the film was being produced to make the scenery
look authentic and that it grew so much better in the <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">California</st1:place></st1:state> sun that it had to be kept
trimmed. That same heather is said in another story to be tumbleweed painted to
look like heather. So it is hard to tell what stories are true. Time, I guess,
allows for such variations and the truth is possibly in between. One of the
things that seems to be well known and true is Goldwyn considered this movie be
his best movie ever.</div>

What also seems true and believable
is that two stars Sir Laurence Oliver and Merle Oberon were unhappy being here
at the time of the movie because they were separated from their significant
others back in <st1:place w:st="on">Europe</st1:place> and did not like
it. What also seems very believable is that movies back then were still
the new “kid on the block” in the minds of some stage actors, like these two,
and had not earned their respect yet. </div>

To get a flavor of how the movie
was received by the press at the time of its release.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
Here is a period review from the
New York Times April 14, 1939.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
Written by Frank S. Nugent.
April 14, 1939. Goldwyn Presents Film of “<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Wuthering</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Heights</st1:placetype></st1:place>”
at Rivoli.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
“After a long recess, Samuel
Goldwyn has returned to serious screen business again with his film ‘<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Wuthering</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Heights</st1:placetype></st1:place>,’ which had its première at the
Rivoli last night. It is Goldwyn at his best, and better still, Emily Brontë at
hers. Out of her strange tale of a tortured romance Mr. Goldwyn and his troupe
have fashioned a strong and somber film, poetically written as the novel...it
is a living thing, vibrant as the wind that swept Times Square last night….It
isn't exactly a faithful transcription…But it is a faithful adaptation, written
reverently and well, which goes straight to the heart of the book, explores its
shadows and draws dramatic fire from the savage flints of scene and character
hidden there.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
And it has been brilliantly played.
Laurence Olivier's Heathcliff is the man….Charlotte Brontë, in her preface to
her sister's novel, said Heathcliff never loved Cathy; the only claim he might
have had to humanity was his lukewarm regard for Hareton Earnshaw; …Heathcliff
is demon, ghoul…But Heathcliff is no demon and he loved Cathy, in the film as
in the novel…Mr. Goldwyn has provided a flawless supporting cast…It is,
unquestionably, one of the most distinguished pictures of the year, one of the
finest ever produced by Mr. Goldwyn, and one you should decide to see.”</div>

the test of time and is a good movie. Place: The <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Edge</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Center</st1:placetype></st1:place> for

“Bad Day At Black Rock” is the
January Film Classic in Bigfork</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
The opening film, for the 2019
Classic Movie Series in Bigfork is one that has an unusual number of stars in
it. Starting with Spencer Tracy and Robert Ryan as the headliners, you
can add Anne Francis, Dean Jagger, Walter Brennan, Lee Marvin and Ernest
Borgnine. That is a lot of talent for even the big screen to handle. The
title is “Bad Day at Black Rock”. It is a 1955 thriller film that combines
elements of both the western and film noir genre in a mixed story about a
stranger arriving in a small desert community who stirs up quite a storm for
the residents to handle. The cast is predominantly male and the action
fast and furious at just the right times. With <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Tracy</st1:place></st1:city> as a one-armed war veteran as the star
who can take very good care of himself. The soft side is only in the fact
that he is trying to find the father of a Japanese-American veteran who saved
his life in the Pacific war to give him his son's medal. This January Movie
Classic will be shown at the Edge Theater in Bigfork by Jack Nachbar. It will
be accompanied by Jack’s presentation providing a better understanding of the
time period of the movie. Date: Thursday January 10<sup>th</sup> .
Time: 6:30PM. Price: FREE of charge</div>

The film was released only 10 years after the war ended. The
country was still in a “healing” mode. Good movie, good cast, lots of
audience acceptance, positive reviews, awards, nominations and a profit for the
studio. A good one to see and it is hard for me not to tell you more because of
the really good plot. Just a little trivia about this film: the studio wanted
to call it “Bad Day at Hondo”, but John Wayne had just made the movie “Hondo”
and there might be some confusion. The title came about when a studio staff person
was on a train going by a town called “Black Rock” in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">California</st1:place></st1:state>, where a lot of movie work was
done, and the ideas came together: they called the movie a “Bad Day at Black
Rock.” <span style="font-family: "arial";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Spencer Tracy was “cool” to the
idea of doing the movie. But when they made the character both with one arm and
a real tough guy, he could not turn it down. The fact that he was a
“mysterious stranger” showing in a small town with probably no reason to be
there, made the close-knit town nervous anyway and allowed the movie to have
its mysterious “edgyness.”. And then there is his reason for being there: to
put a medal on the grave of a Japanese-American serviceman. Who knows how he
died and why? All good plot builders.</div>

“The streamliner hasn't stopped in
four years, and apparently few people ever pass through. Especially are they
wary of this stranger when they discover that he is interested in a certain
Japanese farmer who they tell him left town a few years back. They wonder if he
is a detective, seeing how he noses around. And he, in turn, wonders darkly why
everyone is so hostile toward him. Slowly, through a process of guarded
discourse, which Director John Sturges has built up by patient, methodical
pacing of his almost completely male cast, an eerie light begins to
glimmer….” </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;">The
December film for this season’s “Classic” movies at the Edge is a 1977 movie
that has held its popularity through the decades. The fact that it is not based
on the work of an American is of little importance. It is an American “monster-sized”
success. The story is from a 1976 article in the “<st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:state>” magazine by a British writer and
based on British youth’s “mod” subculture. Nothing very American about any of
that…right? It still has one of the best selling sound-tracks of all time, and
the movie itself is part of the American Library of Congress selections being
preserved as “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” being
picked in 2010. This December Movie Classic will be shown at the Edge
Theater in Bigfork by Jack Nachbar. This is an "R" rated movie and
not suitable for children. It will be accompanied by Jack’s presentation
providing a better understanding of the time period of the movie. Date:
Thursday December 13th. Time: 6:30PM. Price: FREE of charge.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;">“Saturday
Night Fever” is a great movie, has music, music and more music, graceful
dancing, plenty of sex for its time, and racial tension mixed in. It was a very
successful commercially impact movie with more “lives” than a cat, from its three
release formats, best selling movie track music, VHS and CD releases and still
familiar music The movie was originally released in an “R” rated form, then was
also released in a PG” version, and even later as “PG-13” version in 1980. It did
much to popularize the “disco” life-style and music, has wonderful graceful
dancing, and <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country-region>’s
male media idol of the time, John Travolta. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial";"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;">All the
fuss is about a simple story of a young man who has a “dead-end” job,
squabbling family, and a strange girlfriend. But when he gets on the
dance-floor, he is king. Disco music’s popularity owes a lot to this one
star and one movie.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;">The
movie’s one big star is John Travolta, but he does not have one of the best
scenes in the movie. That goes to “Annette” played by Donna Pescow. When
the “boys” fall off the bridge into the river they fall onto a platform set up
to safely “catch” them just out of sight of the camera. However that fact was
kept from Pescow because the director wanted a true horror reaction when she
thought they really fell into the water. He got the reaction he wanted --
horror --terrified look --- and fear, then anger when she found out the truth. Her next line in the movie was “you f___kers!” was also real and not
scripted. Also unscripted but used was Travolta’s response to his father’s head
slap at the dinner table about mussing up his hair. So there is a wide
range of interesting sidelights to enjoy. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;">This is
a good movie all around. And evidently a local Mafia group thought so
too. They reportedly tried to extort money from the film makers during
shooting and even used a small “fire bomb” on the studio. Also a group of
Hasidic Jews were against the film being shot in their neighborhood, and tried
to disrupt the filming. They even tried to turn one over one of the cars used in
production. Lots of critics, lots of challenges. But the end result is a great
piece of film history. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

It is hard to imagine how she fits in enough time for her art. At this exhibit you will see examples of work that you must get close to appreciate the detail and then back up to appreciate how it "fits'" together. It is one of those exhibits that makes one want to study. Ellen Sandbeck's work will be on display from November 1 through December 1 during normal gallery hours and during Edge Events. </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 15.4px;">The gallery is next to the </span></span><st1:place style="color: #222222; font-family: georgia, utopia, "palatino linotype", palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px;" w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on"><span style="color: black;">Bigfork</span></st1:placename><span style="color: black;"> <st1:placetype w:st="on">School</st1:placetype></span></st1:place><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 15.4px;"> and is open from 10 am to 4 pm on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, plus during Edge center events.

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Regarding her art, in her own words: “I
have always been entranced by the natural world, and have been making
nature-based art since I was a toddler. I have been doing papercuts since 1985,
when my son was born, and the constant distraction of tending him made it
difficult to do any form of artwork that involved drying time. I soon realized
that papercutting was my true medium. Though every papercut I started during
that first year fell apart in my hands, after a single, injudicious cut, I kept
practicing. After that first year, I began sending samples to publishing
companies, and within a year had landed my first book contract, with Dover
Publications, for a stencil book. Ten other books of original graphics
followed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
In 2009, I began a year-long project in which I
executed a papercut of the historical Buddha every day. Like every project I
have ever taken on, this project was far more time-consuming than I had
anticipated, yet it was a year of very peaceful meditation. As the year
progressed, so did I, and I began to feel as if I was getting a handle on my
medium. Though papercutting could be considered rather limiting, and even
clumsy, I find its limitations a challenge, and tend to regard it as a game or
a sport, as well as an art. I also regard papercutting as a sort of hybrid
between drawing and very very shallow bas relief, and as I am working, I almost
get a sensation of working and feeling my way around the three-dimensional
bodies of my subjects.”</div>

<span style="color: #222222;">The
October film for this season “Classic” movies at the Edge is a 1949 Film Noir
classic, “All the King’s Men.” The movie won three Oscars including Best Film.
The plot is about a small time political want-to-be politician who rises
from a rural county seat to become governor of a state. It’s a thinly disguised
story of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">Louisiana</st1:state></st1:place>
politician Huey Long who rose to power with a similar anything-goes approach to
politics in the 1930’s. The movie’s success is not just the story in the movie,
which is compelling by itself, but the incredible editing done on the first
attempts to tell the story that ended up being much to long and complicated.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;">The
movie ended up so long after the “normal” tinkering done by editing that it
made some of the management panicky to say the least. Production team members
Robert Parrish and Harry Cohn were instructed to take just the best part of
each scene and cut the rest, music and all. Then they cut another 100 feet from
the beginning and end regardless. What ended up is a 109 minute movie “diamond
in the rough” with a “jagged urgency” that is “compelling and Oscar worthy”.
You got to see it knowing the back story to appreciate what happened. Don’t
know if it was ever done that way again, but it worked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;">The
stars in the movie were Broderick Crawford, who won the best actor Oscar and
Mercedes McCambridge who won the best supporting actress Oscar. The acting
talent does not stop there because John Ireland was also nominated for the Best
Supporting Actor. That is some special talent on in one film. In
total the film was nominated for seven Oscars. Great acting, great
directing and a film “miracle” all combined to make this one well received by
audiences and film critics then and now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;">I think
maybe this is one of those times where we should stop trying to restate what
the critics said and let those reviews speak for themselves. Then you decide
whether a trip to Bigfork is worth to see what the nice accolades were all
about. As a footnote to the reviews: in 2001 it was selected for
preservation in the United States National Film Registery and to date it is the
last Best Picture winner to be based on a Pulitzer Prize winning novel. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;">Bosley Crowther who reviewed
films for thr News York Times, who said, "Robert Rossen has written and
directed, as well as personally produced, a rip-roaring film of the same title
... We have carefully used that descriptive as the tag for this new Columbia
film because a quality of turbulence and vitality is the one that it most fully
demonstrates ... In short, Mr. Rossen has assembled in this starkly
unprettified film a piece of pictorial journalism that is remarkable for its
brilliant parts. Critic William Brogdon, for Variety Magazine, said<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“As the rural Abe Lincoln, springing up from
the soil to make himself a great man by using the opinionless,
follow-the-leader instinct of the more common voter, Broderick Crawford does a
standout performance. Given a meaty part, his histrionic bent wraps it up for a
great personal success adding much to the many worthwhile aspects of the drama’”.

<span style="color: #222222;">The
Classic Movie Series this year starts with a mystery drama from 1967, “In the
Heat of the Night,” staring Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger. It is about a black <st1:city w:st="on">Philadelphia</st1:city> police detective who becomes involved
in a murder investigation in a small town in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Mississippi</st1:place></st1:state>. The film won five Oscars in
1967 including the year’s Best Picture award. It is so good that it was
followed up by two sequels and a TV series with the same name. It is worth
seeing, if for no other reason, to find out what all the excitement was about.
Great stars, great time period and great drama: that’s makes a great
combination. With lots of racist implications, a false arrest, and a
good plot you will find out why the movie richly deserved those five
Oscars. This September Movie Classic will be shown at the Edge Theatre in
Bigfork by Jack Nachbar. It will be accompanied by Jack’s presentation
providing a better understanding of the time period of the movie. Date:
Thursday September 13<sup>th</sup>. Time:<span class="m2494684038419238384gmail-m218589911776786598gmail-apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="m2494684038419238384gmail-aqj">6:30PM</span>. Price: FREE of charge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;">The murder suspect is a black
man found and arrested at the railway station. Probably sounded logical to
the <st1:city w:st="on">Sparta</st1:city> police, but they quickly
discover he is a detective from <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Chicago</st1:place></st1:city>. Oops. Not
only that, the murder seemed to take place in the building site of a new, and,
important to the town, factory being built by the murdered man. The widow is
not happy about the local police and threatens to stop
construction. It is a good plot based on a 1965 novel of the same
name. When you come to see it, keep in mind that Sidney’s line “They call me
Mister Tibbs,” ended up being named #16 Most Memorable Movie Quote of all
time by the American Film Institute. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;">1967 was a bad time in <st1:country-region w:st="on">America</st1:country-region> to be black, Sidney Poitier would
not work in the south because he and Harry Belafonte were almost killed by the
KKK during an earlier visit to <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Mississippi</st1:place></st1:state>.
That’s how <st1:city w:st="on">Sparta</st1:city> <st1:state w:st="on">Illinois</st1:state> got
the work, not <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Mississippi</st1:place></st1:state>.
Just a few days of location shooting in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Tennessee</st1:place></st1:state>
once again put Poitier under threat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;">Sir Sidney Poitier (February
20, 1927) is Bahamian-American and an accomplished actor, film director and
diplomat. It is hard to pick a “Best" of his Films from his list of 52
films. This movie is number 27 on his career list. He was the first Bahamian
and first black actor to win an Oscar. He has some 19 awards. I suspect
receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama in 2009 ranks
way up on his list with along being Knighted by Queen Elizabeth in 1974.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;">Rod Steiger (1925-2002) made
his mark on the film world by playing “off beat’ kind of crazy characters that
were ready to fly off the handle. He was associated with “Method
Acting” to the point that it often caused verbal exchanges with directors and
such during filming. That explains why his work is so often realistic.
But it was very good for “In the Heat of the Night." In this
case he was so so good that he won the best actor Oscar. That might be reason
enough to see the movie all by it self. He was asked by the director to chew
gum during his scenes, which Rod did not particularly like, but doing as
directed, he learned to like it so much he went through 263 packs of gum during
the shooting. Now that’s dedication. Wonder what his dentist thought
of the idea? Interestingly his co-star in this movie Sidney Poitier thought
Steiger and Spencer Tracy were the best actors he ever
encountered. </span></div>

movie from an award winning book that spawned two film sequels and a TV series.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Art or craft, craft or art? Which came first? That question has vexed our conversations since the first stone implement was hacked out of a piece of rock. It seems that every item mankind has ever produced has sooner or later been embellished, enhanced or decorated, turned into a more sophisticated form, and called “art.” Utilitarian items take on an entirely new form and meaning and are celebrated for being “even better” for the addition of creative embellishments. Come and see what has developed from the early utilitarian baskets at August's art exhibit at the Edge Art Gallery. The gallery is next to the Bigfork School and is open from 10A.M. to 4 P.M </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Admission to the gallery and the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">reception is free.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Interestingly, while making baskets is one of the most widespread crafts in the history of any human civilization, it is very hard to accurately date when various techniques started. The reason is that most of the basket materials degraded and eventually disappeared entirely. Of the baskets found in and near present-day Egypt, carbon dating shows then to be between 10,000 and 20,000 years old. However, that is believed to be much later than when people first formed something that could be called a "basket" to gather food from the wild. That may have been as early as between two and three million years ago, but even those dates are pure speculation. While it is conceivable that early hunter-gatherers developed something to carry gathered foods, the Egyptian carbon dated vessels were more similar to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">pottery </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">burial relics than to baskets.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">That discussion is about the “tools” side of basket making; what you will see at the Edge Center is more on the "art" side of the topic. Basic materials used to transport just about anything have been altered in such ways as to completely transform their utility to into something completely that transcends their original intent.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">Every summer Stages Theatre Company brings a production with their special brand of fun and laughter to Bigfork. They not only bring the cast and supporting staff, they also bring much of the sets they use on-stage at their theatre in </span><st1:city style="font-size: 16px;" w:st="on">Hopkins</st1:city><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">. The effort is extraordinary. The result is that Bigfork area audiences get to see a world-class creation and the young cast and crew get to experience what is like to be “on the road” for a few days. It is a great experience for both sides and always leaves a lasting impression on everyone involved.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Stages Theatre Company’s Artistic Director Sandy Boren-Barrett, who is also the Director of this play, says, “Everybody has a friend, that one best friend that makes you do things (good or bad), or try things that you might not be brave enough to try without them convincing you that you can do it. That is Alex and Marty – they are there for each other, they laugh with each other, take risks for each other, and save each other when they need to be saved. This is a story about wanting more, and finding that you actually had all you needed or wanted all along, you just needed a ‘best friend’ to remind you of that. </span><st1:country-region style="font-size: 16px;" w:st="on">Madagascar</st1:country-region><span style="font-size: 16px;"> is truly a musical ADVENTURE, it has fun, lively musical numbers that will keep your toes tapping and you dancing out the door. We can’t wait to share it with you.” </span></span><br />

then has grown to become one of the largest professional theatres for young
audiences in the country. STC engages young artists with themes relevant to
their lives and produces work which features young people in significant and
meaningful roles. It annually serves more than 130,000 young people and their
families. STC has been producing these young people’s productions in
Bigfork for a number of years and the productions have become part of a summer
entertainment tradition at the Edge Theatre. </span></div>

The EdgeWild
Players in Bigfork open the stage season with a comedy that includes gangsters joking, dancing, and singing. Fake wooden Tommy guns, scared white faces, and the witty, savage satire heighten the entertainment of this period comedy by German
playwright Bertolt Brecht titled “The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui.” It is a satirical look at the rise of a mythical, small-time thug in 1930s Chicago who is trying to take over the cauliflower racket by selling
"protection" to small groceries. Sound interesting? <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">That’s the magic of a great satirist like Brecht. His
characters are so ridiculous that they can transport laughing audiences to a
funny new reality. </span>Place: The Edge Center Theatre, Bigfork. Date and
time: June 21 through 23 at 7 p.m. and June 24 at 2 p.m. Price: $15 for adults,
$5 for children.</div>

<span style="background: white;">The play was written in 1941 by the great modern playwright
Bertolt Brecht. Director Patricia Feld is infusing it with the lively music
that Brecht and Kurt Weill wrote for many of their classic plays. Among the
songs is the familiar “Mack the Knife.”</span></div>

<span style="background: white;">This
play is also an allegory Hitler’s rise to power and the characters and events have
direct parallels in history to Adolf Hitler’s henchmen. Brecht turns <i>der
Führer</i> into vulgar American thug Arturo Ui, a small-time <st1:state w:st="on">New
York</st1:state> hoodlum who comes to <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Chicago</st1:place></st1:city>
with his gang to “sell protection” using intimidation, threats, arson, and
murder. But, unlike the gangster movies of the 1920s and 1930s, this show is
done for maximum laughs. The broad, vaudeville acting style, the
between-the-scenes musical numbers, and the elaborate sets, costumes, and stage
antics keeps things lively and funny.</span></div>

Patricia Feld, the Artistic Director for the Edge and director
of this play says, “Our large cast has a ball with the mugging and the overly
physical acting style. The complex sets and 1930’s costumes will help to

through the eyes and life’s experiences of Adam Swanson. With many visits to <st1:place w:st="on">Antarctica</st1:place>, this artist can relate to environments
unfamiliar to the average person, and gives us a different perspective on the world we share. As Adam describes this unique style “…</span><span style="background: #f7f7f7; color: black;">my work addresses the future, fragility
of the human presence, perseverance of nature and underlying threads of danger
woven through societies". We hope that this exhibit titled, “You Never Were Alone” will leave a
lasting impression that viewers can take with them.

<span style="background-color: white;">The opening for Adam's exhibit (see photos at the end of this blog) was on June first with a nice turnout and we got a chance to visit with the artist. He shared a lot of time with the guests and talked about many of his projects including the "chalking" of Elephant Rock near Duluth, which he did one year that was a considerably larger effort than what was at the Edge. Adam says of that project, "The Elephant Rock project was an art happening in the Lincoln Park neighborhood in west Duluth. I drew with sidewalk chalk and charcoal...the day after I made the drawing the Lincoln Park community had a small festival and community gathering around the rock. Folks came around and climbed on the rock, took photos and shared stories about the park's influence in their lives. One thing I remember about the day was when a women, 96 years old shared her memories as a child climbing around on the same rock."

we are, the more likely we will thrive in a universe of endless possibilities.</span>”<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #f7f7f7;">That is a wonderful quality an artist, such as Adam can bring to art.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Life's experiences gives all of us a special "perspective" that few of us can put into or on to the arts. Some do it through paintings, some through sculpture, and some through performing arts. But they all can "teach" us something about the world we live in and experiences we live. Here is that one artist has to say about the world through art. </span><span style="background-color: #f7f7f7;">One that needs to be experienced to appreciate. </span></span><br />

<span style="background: white;">There is one of the Bigfork
Art Expositions that is a family favorite and very unique every season. It is
the annual student art exposition that opens the gallery season each year and
is, in many ways, very enjoyable. No matter what else follows it, the art

With her BA in media communications she is well versed in Digital art, Videography, photography and graphic design. And with an MS in education, she is an excellent art teacher for the Bigfork school. </span>She says, "I have lived in four different states in the past 10 years, but MN is home. I enjoy outside, coaching basketball, and to create -- especially taking something old and making it into something new. I feel right at home here in the Bigfork/Marcel area. I love being nestled in the trees and surrounded by lakes." So come and see what our new art teacher brings to the area in terms of inspiring the art in our students. Below is an example of some of the results. </span><br />

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #222222;">“American Graffiti” is about the culture and life style
of the whole generation of post WWII American youth. It has several
claims to fame including being the most profitable film ever produced in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Hollywood</st1:place></st1:city>. Although most
of the big <st1:place w:st="on">Hollywood</st1:place> movie companies
didn’t want to get involved, it did find a home at Universal Studios. The money
side of this classic is a classic in itself. It was made on a $777.000 budget
(lucky 7s) and has become one of the most profitable films ever produced with some $200 million in box office, and, video sales, not including
merchandising…so far. Co-written by George Lucas, it was based on his younger
years in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Modesto</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">California</st1:state></st1:place>. Set in 1962, it is a study of
the cruising and rock-n-roll culture of post-WWII youth packed into the events
of one night. The profits may be staggering but so is the list of the future
famous actors in the movie. </span>This
April Movie Classic will be shown on the big screen of the Edge Theatre in
Bigfork by Jack Nachbar. It will be accompanied by Jack’s presentation
providing a better understanding of the time period of the movie. Date:
Thursday, April 12. Time:<span class="m3923095330659726216gmail-m9157603137116865238gmail-m6596987949979653651gmail-m218589911776786598gmail-apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="m3923095330659726216gmail-m9157603137116865238gmail-m6596987949979653651gmail-aqj">6:30PM</span>.

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
George Lucas co-wrote this movie as a series of
short vignettes covering the events of one night. Wolfman Jack sort of narrates
it, Ron Howard, Suzzanne Somers, Richard Dreyfuss, Harrison Ford, Mackenzie
Phillips and a bunch more stars are sprinkled around in the movie. It was
supposed to be filmed in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">San
Rafael</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">California</st1:state></st1:place> where
it was set to take place, but the town would not let them shoot after the
second day. Obviously it did get finished and is a legend in the movie
business.<span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
The 1973 Locarno Film Festival in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Switzerland</st1:country-region> was the premier of “American
Graffiti” and it opened the same year in the <st1:country-region w:st="on">United States</st1:country-region>. The
response was positive and immediate. It was nominated for an Oscar
for Best Picture, and eventually the United States Library selected it for
preservation.<span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
George Walton Lucas Jr. (born 1944) is an
amazing film maker and entrepreneur. And one cannot write just a couple of
paragraphs about his work to do it justice. It is best to say he is just one of
the best, and American Graffiti is something he wanted to do for a long time.
It is the story of his era growing up in <st1:state w:st="on">California</st1:state> and he wanted to preserve
this story for future generations to see and become acquainted with the era.
When you see this movie you see a time when Lucas was growing up and you can
appreciate how youngsters of his age enjoyed themselves, at least in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Modesto</st1:city> <st1:state w:st="on">California</st1:state></st1:place>.<span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
I suspect for him it is Lucas looking at Lucas,
and I suspect he likes what he sees. Probably a cliché but it was a
simpler time after a great war had been won and before the killing fields
of <st1:country-region w:st="on">Vietnam</st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Laos</st1:country-region> and <st1:country-region w:st="on">Cambodia</st1:country-region> started
and forever changed <st1:country-region w:st="on">America</st1:country-region>.
So, it is a good film for the audience to just sit back and relax and enjoy
what Lucas put onto film for the audience to do just that. Enjoy the film and
the time it represents.<span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

George Walton Lucas Jr. (born May 24, 1944) is
an American film-maker and entrepreneur. I am not going to try to put into this
blog any list of Lucas’ achievements in film or business. There is no need
except maybe to mention that he has had 57 awards and 37 more nominations for
awards from some 44 organizations Ref: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000184/awards">http://www.imdb.com/name/<wbr></wbr>nm0000184/awards</a> . Above is Lucas receiving the National Medal of Technology from President George W. Bush in 2006. See note at the end of this blog. </div>

<span style="color: #222222;">Roger Greenspun was the reviewer of this movie
for The New York Times and has one of the best descriptions I found when
researching the movie. In the August 13<sup>th</sup>, 1973 edition he wrote,
“American Graffiti exists not so much in its individual stories, as in its
orchestration of many stories, its sense of time and place. Although it is full
of material of fashionable nostalgia, it never exploits it.” See what you
think, when you see the movie yourself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Wild Boys of the Road” is a movie that deals
with the socio-economic issues of the depression era. Made in 1933
it showed the depth of the depression and its effect on the lives of several teenagers
who had to become hobos riding trains to survive. The film was directed by
William Wellman and starred Frankie Darro. It is a heavy subject for <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Hollywood</st1:place></st1:city> to tackle
when crime films and musicals were a much better investment. It presents a side
of the economic times that was important to preserve. The Library of Congress
selected the film for preservation in 2013. Come and see this one shown on
the big screen of the Edge Theatre in Bigfork. It will be accompanied by
Jack’ Nachbar's presentation providing a better understanding of the time
period of the movie. Date: <span class="aqj">Thursday</span>, Thursday

<span style="color: #222222;">During the
Depression, <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Hollywood</st1:place></st1:city> was
one of the few beneficiaries of the country’s tough times. For a nickel the
movie-goer could get you a cartoon, a newsreel, a B-feature, and the main film.
That could amount to four hours of entertainment for the price of a gallon of
gasoline or a pack of cigarettes. Between 60 and 80 million people were
going to the movies once a week. Most of the movies were crime related,
musicals or comedies, but a few slipped through that addressed the county’s
problems. It shows there was still a heart in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Hollywood</st1:place></st1:city> for the distressed of the
country. Critics in 1933 were mixed as to their opinions of “Wild Boy,s"
but time has proven this movie’s worth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Frankie Darro (1917-1976) American actor and stuntman
began his career in silent movies as a child actor. As he grew up he progressed
in roles in “talkies” in adventure, western, dramatic, and comedy films.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Later he became a character actor and
voice-over artist. Remember the donkey called Lampwick in Walt Disney’s
“Pinocchio”?</div>

<span style="color: #222222;">This is about as “Screwball” a
comedy you can get. In “My Favorite Wife” Cary Grant (hunk number one),
who is married with kids to Irene Dunne, gets married for the second time after
his wife is declared legally dead. But, she is not dead, but marooned on a
desert island with Randolph Scott (hunk number two). Irene shows up, finds out
she is legally dead, and hubby is off with wife number two. She sets out to
clear up the mess. It does not work out very well when wife one hires a mousey
shoe salesman to play her island company, Grant does not buy the whole mess. But
then add the law: if she is married to the two men at one time (bigamist) or not, the
judge who needs to “fix” things is the same judge who declared Irene dead, and
married <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Cary</st1:place></st1:city> to
his second wife. See how it all ends up on the big screen of the Edge Theatre
in Bigfork shown by Jack Nachbar. It will be accompanied by Jack’s presentation
providing a better understanding of the time period of the movie and maybe help
unravel things at the same time. Date: Thursday, February 8<sup>th</sup>.

<span style="color: #222222;">There was some true life
drama going on behind the scenes during the production of this movie because
it’s producer, Leo McCarey, was in a serious car accident and it was not known
if he would live: kind of a hard backdrop for the actors to absorb when whey
were trying to be “funny”. One of the actors in the movie, Gail Patrick, who
played the second wife, recalled “…desperately trying to be funny as our
producer, Leo McCarey, lay at death’s door..I never thought we entered into the
spirit of that one. We couldn’t…waiting for bulletins from the hospital.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;">McCarey got well enough to
visit the set a couple of times, shooting got done with a movie that sort of
dropped off at mid point and didn’t get funny any more. The actors went home
waited for the results. And McCarey was left with a mess to clean up. When he
reviewed what was there he came up with a great fix. The judge’s
part was originally dropped early in the film, and McCarey brought him back
because he was really funny and with some good rewriting by McCarey himself and
other writers, the end result was a great comedy. In fact it was one of the the
last of its kind because WWII interrupted that sort of story telling for the
time being. <b><i><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Favorite_Wife&source=gmail&ust=1517662772312000&usg=AFQjCNEBcGchoz2LJ81aS_adPVrFXQJ3_g" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Favorite_Wife" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/<wbr></wbr>wiki/My_Favorite_Wife</a></span></i></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Honors for her work as an actress. She once commented in an interview, that she
“…lacked the ‘terrifying ambition’ of some other actresses and said, I drifted

<span style="color: #222222;">Cary Grant (1904 – 1986)
was an English – American actor and is known as the “definitive” handsome
leading man. He had a pronounced “English” and smooth stage
personality that fit very nicely in that leading man role in the 76 or so film
credits he earned from 1932 and 1976. The American Film
Institute named Cary the second greatest male film star of the Golden Age
Hollywood. Grant was nominated twice for Oscars and received an Honorary
Oscar. His working relationship with Alfred Hitchcock got him four roles in
Hitchcock movies and it is said that the director loved working with him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;">Randolph Scott (1898 –
1987) was an American film star whose career spanned five decades from 1928 to
1962. His lasting image is of the “…man who sat tall in the saddle…” Of his
more than 100 films, more than 60 were westerns. But as this film shows his talents
went beyond the cowboy film, and he could handle them very well. Scott’s films
included social dramas, comedies, musicals (non singing or dancing roles)
adventure movies, war films and even a few horror/fantasy films. He has a
star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

As said earlier, a lot of the credit for this film’s success is due to
the work of its writer/producer, Leo McCarey. His work on “My Favorite
Wife” made it the second biggest hit for RKO in 1940. McCarey
can certainly take credit for that achievement. He had previous
experience with Grant and Dunn in previous work and therefore familiar with
their talents.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;">Leo was a three time
Academy Award winning director, screenwriter and producer. He was involved in
nearly 200 films is best known for his work in comedies. For “My Favorite
Wife” he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Writing, Original
Story. Interestingly he focused mostly on “screwball” comedies
before the war and, later, turned his talents towards more socially conscious
and religious films. He achieved success and acclaim in both
genres. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">This is a drama film that
takes aim at the Broadway theater culture and “personality” in a way that will
let you see deeply into the heart of live performance art. “All About
Eve” is a drama film sure, but just giving it a category falls short of the
real depth of how one art form can describe another in such a moving manner.
The industry critics loved it as much as the industry that produced it. “All
About Eve” (1950) is the only film in Oscar history that received four actress
nominations in the 14 total gained and ended up winning six. A great
story of a young star (played by Anne Baxter) eclipsing the career and life of
an older establish one (played by Bette Davis). This one will make you think
and consider how well the <st1:place w:st="on">Hollywood</st1:place> film
industry did in dissecting its East Coast sister industry the live Broadway
industry. This January Movie Classic will be shown on the big screen of
the Edge in Bigfork by Jack Nachbar. It will be accompanied by Jack’s
presentation providing a better understanding of the time period of the
movie. Date: Thursday, January 11<sup>th</sup> . Time:<span class="m9157603137116865238gmail-m6596987949979653651gmail-m218589911776786598gmail-apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="m9157603137116865238gmail-m6596987949979653651gmail-aqj">6:30PM</span>.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
The movie made almost $3
millions dollars in its <st1:country-region w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region> release
and has as many twists and turns in its themes and sub-plots as imaginable. To
some it was a straight-forward story about ambition and show business comparing
one industry segment to another. To some it has a love triangle story between
the characters. We do know it was related to an
actual situation between and aging actress and young protégé fan she gave a
job to in her house which she later regretted. The movie was very popular
in the gay community possibly because Bette Davis was one of its early heroes.
All of these things make for great movies and audiences then and now have lot
of angles to think about and make up their own minds. Today’s viewers are even
treated to an early performance by Marilyn Monroe, so you can ponder how much
of the audience comprehended what this “new” star of the industry might become.
Whatever reasons prevailed in the audiences and industry in that earlier era, it
was a great success.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">
Bette Davis (1908-1989) was one
of <st1:city w:st="on">Hollywood</st1:city>’s
greatest actresses. Willing to play virtually any kind of character and
personality, she found work wherever and whenever she wanted. As with
many early Hollywood stars, she started out on Broadway before moving to <st1:city w:st="on">Hollywood</st1:city> in 1930.
So this movie certainly fit her perfectly. With her willingness to play
any kind of character, her range of films spanned the spectrum of <st1:place w:st="on">Hollywood</st1:place> movies. She was a hardcore
businesswomen and often at odds with studio management. You could say her off
stage personality matched her on-stage persona clashing with management, fellow
actors, and writers. In general a great actor and person.</div>

Anne Baxter (May 7, 1923 – December 12, 1985) was an actress in films, stage and television. In her career she won an Oscar, Golden Globe and nominated for a prime time Emmy. Interestingly, her selection for “All About Eve” came about due to her resemblance to Claudette Colbert who was originally picked, but was replaced by Bette Davis. She said she played her character based on a “bitchy understudy” she had in a Broadway play when she was 13 and threatened to “finish her off”. Anne received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress for her role in “All About Eve”.</div>

In a odd example of life imitating art, Anne did replace Bette in a TV show when Betty became to sick to do it. This movie was the first time two actresses from one film were both nominated for the best Actress Oscar. They lobbied so hard to get the award that neither ended up getting it.</div>

By many, this 1958 movie was the
last great MGM musical, and has all the music and romantic suspense to make it
a modern day “Cinderella” story. Set in
turn of the 20<sup>th</sup> century Paris with an outstanding cast, and music
that is still well known, “Gigi” should leave you smiling and happy you made
the time in Bigfork to see it. It won a
record-breaking nine Oscars, won three Golden Globe awards, and many other
honors including being selected for preservation in the U. S. National Film
Registry by the Library of Congress. Staring Leslie Caron, Maurice Chevalier,
and Louis Jourdan, it had the star power to bring in audiences and provide a
nice profit for MGM. This December Movie
Classic will be shown on the big screen of the Edge Theatre in Bigfork by Jack
Nachbar. It will be accompanied by Jack’s presentation providing a better
understanding of the time period of the movie. Date: Thursday, December

The story is how a young lady
develops in the “wife and mistress” life style of <st1:city w:st="on">Paris</st1:city> at that time. That means a lot of
potential pitfalls and heart-breaking adventures can be in the future for the
beautiful high society ladies of the period. Well Leslie’s character has to grow
up in that environment with womanizers like Louis Jourden’s character and, the wiser and
older Maurice Chevalier's character being mentors adding their charms to the mix. Leslie will be
encouraged to follow the “family tradition” of the period and be groomed for a
life of luxury and heart-aches. The “how” and if she navigates the
potential mess is the movie’s story with lots of music, color and beautiful <st1:city w:st="on">Paris</st1:city> as the backdrop.
Come and see the movie, if you want to see what happens. <br />

One aspect of “Gigi” that is
interesting is that is similar to “My Fair Lady,” the Broadway play running at the time. The music for both works was done by the same
team. The lyrics for the music were by
Alan Jay Lerner and the music by Fredrick Loewe. There are similarities between the two that
can’t be mistaken. This was noted by critics of the period, but by no means in a
ways that detracted from their appreciation of the either project. The movie is great and the play is great. You
can read more about this similarity and about the whole film by one noted
reviewer, Bosley Crowther, in his period review at: <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/movies/bestpictures/gigi-ar.html">http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/movies/bestpictures/gigi-ar.html</a></div>

Leslie is a cat person and had her
own cat during the filming of “Gigi”.
The cat which the director wanted to use in the movie had a particular
dislike for Leslie and had to be drugged during scenes with her. This is obvious
in the scene with the song “Say a Prayer for me Tonight.”</div>

It will be worth going to Bigfork, because Jack will provide you with

<span style="color: #21262e;">The
last show in the Edge Center Gallery for 2017 is “Looking in Different
Directions” which includes art by Butch Holden, Professor Emeritus of Art at <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Bemidji</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">State</st1:placetype> <st1:placetype w:st="on">University</st1:placetype></st1:place>,
and his son, Twin Cities artist Luke Holden.
It is only fitting that this show is one of the most colorful of the year
in a month that is predominantly white out side. Yes, winter came unexpectedly early for many of us
and it came with a serious white coat of snow over a couple of days shortly
before the show. Come in from the white outside and
enjoy lots of color in a variety of mediums including ceramics, photography on
canvas, screen printed drawings, and paintings.
The show will be from November 2<sup>nd</sup> to December 3<sup>rd</sup>
during normal Gallery hours Thursday,
Friday and Saturday from 10AM to 4PM and during events at the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Edge</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Center</st1:placetype></st1:place>. Admission
is free and open to the public. There is a reception for the exhibit on Friday,
November 3<sup>rd</sup> from 5PM to 7PM. Come and see the exhibits during
the reception, and have some treats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Butch
Holden, was the juror of the 2016 <i>Art on the Edge</i> Juried Show,
received his B.A. in art from the <st1:placetype w:st="on">University</st1:placetype>
of <st1:placename w:st="on">Minnesota</st1:placename>, <st1:city w:st="on">Minneapolis</st1:city>,
and his M.F.A. in ceramics from <st1:placename w:st="on">Indiana</st1:placename>
<st1:placetype w:st="on">University</st1:placetype>, <st1:place w:st="on">Bloomington</st1:place>. About his art, professor Holden
says, “My works of pottery and photographs are a continuation of my fascination
of the similarities of gardening and ceramics. When I garden, I am
manipulating all sorts of variables –
soil, location, timing, temperature, water – all in the hopes of achieving a
thriving plant. Pottery is incredibly
similar. I manipulate all sorts of variables – minerals, temperature, timing,
water, and location (in the kiln) – all in hopes of achieving a desirable ceramic
outcome…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
Holden
continues, “My Drawings are based on perceptual experiences. The colors, marks
and patterns that I develop are meant to evokethe sensations of a scene…”<o:p></o:p></div>

State University Moorhead. He says that,
“A When talking on the phone. Images seems to come from somewhere outside my
control. Sometimes I do not even
recognize drawings I have made. I like
the irresponsible feelings of drawing anything that bubbles up as though
writing down the narrative of a dream.
In my work I create processes that reduce judgement and self-critism so
that I am able to draw more freely (or not at all).” </span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;">This
1949 movie has all the parts a great western of the period needs and it puts
them together in a classic fashion. “</span><st1:place style="color: #222222;" w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Colorado</st1:placename><span class="m6596987949979653651apple-converted-space"> </span><st1:placetype w:st="on">Territory</st1:placetype></st1:place><span style="color: #222222;">” has action, drama, wonderful
locations, romance, a train robbery, and, a musical score to match as well.
It is actually a remake of a 1941 movie “High Sierra” based on a book of the

<span style="color: #222222;">A jail
break by an outlaw intending to go straight, but circumstances, double dealers
and a woman get in the way. With a train robbery to help out an old friend
being the path to a better life, your can guess where that can lead, but the
viewer is never sure what is ahead for the stars and the action. There
are enough twists and turns to this action packed western to keep the viewers
attention even with the beautiful scenery. A good old train robbery plus a
double crossing gang member furthers the complications that are already mixed
up. The rest of the action you need to see to appreciate it, and it will not
disappoint.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;">Joel
McCrea (1905-1990) For an actor whose career spanned almost 5 decades and 75
movies with lots of different roles, it was the Western that made him most
comfortable. He once said, “I always felt so much more comfortable in the
western. The minute I got on a horse and a pair of boots on, I didn’t feel like
I was acting anymore.” Maybe that was because he was working in film studios
long before acting holding horses for stars and doing odd jobs to be around the
action. But his career included much more from a Hitchcock spy film
to comedy classics. He once listed his occupation as a rancher and his
hobby as acting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

In this movie she was not only a good dramatic actress, but played a very hard
character. Her character was capable of standing toe to toe and shotgun to

Westerns
have been basic stock for movies since movies began and continued right into
the television era. Most often you just can’t beat a good western for a
chance to see lots of scenery, good and bad guys, and gals, horses and lots
more. Well, partner, saddle up and come and see this one on the big
screen where it was supposed to be shown in the first place. <span class="m6596987949979653651apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: #222222;">You can
do that by coming to Bigfork and see this great film example of a Western for
yourself. And if you might need a nudge or two a little more, you can
read what a reviewer of the period, Bosley Crowther, published in June 25 1949 in the New
York Times: “…And that's what it is, in essence—a hard-riding, ya-hoo Western
film about a good hearted, well-intending bandit who is caught in the
death-grip of fate. Sprung out of jail by his henchmen and snagged by the smile
of a "decent" girl, he still can't escape the environment of crime
into which he has been plunged. And so he gets into that last hold-up—a
two-gunned honey on a high-balling train, secretly loaded with marshals and a
pair of double-crossing scalawags—he gets shot, he discovers the
"good" girl's treachery and rides off, with his ….</span><span class="m6596987949979653651apple-converted-space" style="color: #222222;"> </span><span style="color: #1155cc;"><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9403E2DC113EE03BBC4D51DFB0668382659EDE" target="_blank">http://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9403E2DC113EE03BBC4D51DFB0668382659EDE</a></span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="border: 1pt none; font-family: "arial"; padding: 0in;">Of special interest for many of the visitors, will be and example of a handmade Birch bark canoe. It was made by Jim Wodahl with instructions by Bill Hafeman. With this canoe, it may take some time to study its construction and try to figure out exactly how it was made. Hafeman Canoes are a legend in this part of Minnesota, and to get a chance to see one made with his instructions is a treat. You can't miss it because it dominates the room as they usually do. Hafeman had his "Boatworks" on highway 6 north of Deer River for years and years. My wife and I had a chance to stop and see one of these being built years ago and it was one of those "chance" stops that we will always remember. </span><br />

<span style="background: white; color: #222222;">The “First They Cut
Your Hair: Remembering the Indian Boarding Schools” in Bigfork shines a light on this
period in our history with visual art and poetry depicting the relocation,
reeducation, and cultural indoctrination of Native American children attending these boarding schools.</span><span style="color: #21262e;"> The period was </span><span style="background: white; color: #222222;">late 19th and early 20th centuries when Native American
boarding schools were established throughout the <st1:country-region w:st="on">United
States</st1:country-region> and <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Canada</st1:place></st1:country-region> in an attempt to assimilate
Native American children into European-American standards.</span><span style="color: #21262e;"> The exhibit will be on display September 7 through 30 during normal Gallery hours from 10AM to 4PM and during events at the Edge Center. Admission is
free and open to the public. There is an opening reception for the exhibit on Friday, September
8 from 5PM to 7PM, which will </span><span style="background: white; color: #222222;">include a poetry reading by Denise
Lajimodiere from her book "Bitter Tears". The reception provides an opportunity to visit

<span style="background: white; color: #222222;">Since the
boarding school years, the Tribal
Nations have increasingly insisted on local educational opportunities and have
established many tribal colleges and universities. One example is the <st1:placename w:st="on">Ilisaqvik</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">College</st1:placetype>

they are controlled and operated by Native Americans and are part of the Native
American “institution building in order to pass on their own cultures.” </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribal_colleges_and_universities">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribal_colleges_and_universities</a></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #222222;">Interestingly
the use of many bilingual Native American “Code Talkers” by the armed forces during WWII was one of the
most successful ways the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region>
military had in communicating without fear of the messages being translated. Code talking was actually pioneered by Choctaw Indians in the U.S. Army in WWI. The later deployment of Code Talkers during WWII were in more significant numbers with Navajo, Cherokee, Choctaw, Lakota, Meskwaki and Comanche GIs using thier unbreakable languages. Some of these service personnel had attended
Indian boarding schools but did not loose their native language. It was
puzzling for them that the government which had tried to take away their
language in school, later gave them a critical role in speaking their language
in military operations. <a href="http://www.nmai.si.edu/education/codetalkers/html/chapter3.html">http://www.nmai.si.edu/education/codetalkers/html/chapter3.html</a></span></div>
