NEW YORK -- Wall Street and Madison Avenue never cross -- in New York City, it's geographically impossible. On television, however, the two boulevards intersect constantly, and the result can sometimes be a rubberneck's delight.

By Roseanne Hennessey · Thursday, Sept. 5,2002 11:38 p.m.

Playwright honored with lifetime achievement award

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Sept. 4,2002 11:59 p.m.

NEW YORK -- Calling the arts "a highway into the soul of the people," playwright Arthur Miller accepted an international prize, an honor deferred once by Sept. 11 and a second time by the illness of his late wife. A six-nation panel of advisers gave Miller its Praemium Imperiale prize Tuesday to honor a body of work that has spanned more than half a century and that includes "Death of a Salesman" and "The Crucible," both standards of American theater. The panel was to announce the award last Sept. 14 in France but canceled after the September terrorist attacks. Miller missed the October award ceremony in Tokyo because of the sudden illness of his wife, photographer Inge Morath, who later died.

Big shows visit Auditorium

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Sept. 4,2002 11:58 p.m.

Most students and alumni of IU and residents of Bloomington are familiar with the IU Auditorium. Since 1941, the auditorium has been a top venue for concerts, comedians, IU student events, Broadway shows and big name entertainers. The auditorium was originally made possible by state funding, and a Federal Works Agency project at the request of making the IU campus a facility capable of supporting the greatest entertainment the world has to offer. With the reputation that the auditorium has gained through the years, the auditorium needs to be run professionally. Doug Booher, auditorium director, works with the staff to provide the best possible arts and entertainment events for students, faculty, staff and the community.

Jazz Fables celebrates 25th year

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Sept. 4,2002 11:43 p.m.

Every Thursday since 1989, Bloomington residents and IU students have been able to hear original jazz and favorite standards from Bear's Place house band, Jazz Fables. Tonight the group will be celebrating its 25th anniversary (13th at Bear's) of playing together and presenting jazz to the community during a no-smoking concert. The group consists of founder David Miller (trumpet), Tom Walsh (tenor saxophone), Luke Gillespie (piano), Steve Houghton (drums), Bruce Bransby (double bass), Lida Baker (flute) and special guest David Baker (cello), an IU School of Music professor. "David Miller's Jazz Fables has meant a great deal to the jazz scene in Bloomington," pianist Luke Gillespie said. "Miller has been a constant supporter and promoter of jazz music over the years, and his Jazz Fables performances with many visiting jazz artists, especially at Bear's Place, have helped to expose jazz to a wider audience, including students, faculty and the extended Bloomington community."

Esteemed movie director passes away

Wednesday, Sept. 4,2002 1:56 a.m.

LOS ANGELES — British director J. Lee Thompson, whose more than 50 films included the original "Cape Fear," "The Guns of Navarone," "Planet of the Apes" sequels and nine Charles Bronson movies, has died. He was 88. Thompson, who spent summers in Canada, died Friday of congestive heart failure in Sooke, British Columbia, publicist Robert Rooney said Monday. "He was a very large directorial presence," said co-producer Pancho Kohner. "He was a gentleman and such a pleasure to work with. Everyone who worked with him once wanted to work with him again and again." Kohner collaborated with Thompson to make Bronson action films including "St. Ives," "10 to Midnight," "Messenger of Death," "White Buffalo" and what became Thompson's last film, "Kinjite," in 1989. Thompson also worked several times with Gregory Peck, including 1962's "Cape Fear," with Anthony Quinn, "The Greek Tycoon" released in 1978, with Yul Brynner in "Taras Bulba" in 1962 and again the next year in "Kings of the Sun."

Jazz musician leaves behind more than great music

By Alyson Brodsy and Larry McShane · Monday, Sept. 2,2002 1:27 a.m.

NEW YORK -- There was more than musical magic on stage that day in 1936 when Lionel Hampton joined Benny Goodman in a Manhattan ballroom; it was a breakthrough in American race relations. Hampton, a vibraphone virtuoso who died Saturday, broke a barrier that had kept black and white musicians from performing together in public. Through a six-decade career, he continued to build a name for himself as one of the greats in jazz history.
