Zabars show ‘Uncommon Pairings’
For many years Judith and Stanley Zabar
have been philanthropic in their patronage
to the arts, both in Key West and in New York.
Now it is time once again to showcase their
personal passions for art in a joint show of
their most recent works.
This exciting show, “Uncommon Pairings”
by two of Key West’s treasured islanders, opens
Monday at the Cocco and Salem Gallery, 1111
Duval St., from 5:30 to 8:30PM. www.coccoandsalem.com. For information, call 305292-0072
Judith has evolved into one of the Key’s foremost contemporary painters. Her acrylic on
canvas works use a color palette ranging from
quiet pastels to brilliant jewel tones embedded
in darkness. Stanley’s newest work takes his
lifelong passion for photography and bravely
adds mixed media to enhance the images,
creating an exciting avant-garde outlet for his
creativity.
‘Big Hero 6’ at Bayview Park
The public has voted, and the choice for the
next free outdoor movie at Bayview Park is the
Disney film “Big Hero 6,” Friday at 7:15 p.m.
Organizers of the free movies, which are
held the first and third Fridays of each month,
are trying to raise money for the movie series,
and will have some Key West Outdoor Movie Tshirts available for $15 for kids and adults.
Beadwork on exhibition
The contemporary geometric beadwork
jewelry of Jean Disrud and Jenni Gerstle is on
exhibit at Art@830 Gallery, 830 Caroline St.
Jean Disrud found seed beads about 20 years
ago and began a new adventure into color,
stitches and creativity. Jenni Gerstle’s journey
in the arts began with quilts, baskets and theatre costume design.
In the 1990s, beads crept into her quilts and
eventually work in beaded jewelry, featured
articles and teaching in the Boston area.

FILM IN PARADISE
“Marigold Hotel” is worth a visit
REVIEWED BY SHIRREL
RHOADES
Have you ever vacationed
at an exotic hotel that you
liked so much you wanted
to go back and visit again?
Or seen a movie with such
lovable characters that you
wanted to meet with them
for a second time?
“The Second Best Exotic
Marigold Hotel” satisfies on both counts. It is a
sequel to “The Best Exotic
Marigold Hotel,” a delightful 2012 film about seven
British retirees who travel
to India to take up residence in a hostelry that’s
been a tad oversold to them
— only to discover that it

has charms of its own.
The great cast included
Judi Dench, Maggie Smith,
Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson,
Celia Imrie, Ronald Pickup,
Penelope Wilton and, of
course, Dev Patel as the
hotel’s optimistic manager.
Directed by John Madden
(“Shakespeare In Love”),
the comedy was a surprise
box office hit, grossing over

$137 million worldwide.
Not bad for a small movie
produced on a $10 million
budget.
And so we’re invited back
in “The Second Best Exotic
Marigold Hotel” — currently playing at the Tropic
Cinema.
We take up with our
British retirees where the
last film left off. Returning
are Dench, Smith Nighy,
Imrie, Pickup, Wilton and
Patel. (Wilkinson’s character you’ll recall passed away
in the first film.) To make
up for the depletion, we get
two newcomers in this one
— Tamsin Geig and Richard
Gere.
“The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” boasts a cast that includes Judi Dench, Maggie
Smith, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, Celia Imrie, Ronald Pickup, Penelope Wilton and, of course,
Dev Patel as the hotel’s optimistic manager.
Since the hotel only has
one open room, but two
new visitors, the young
Indian manager Sonny
(Patel) races about trying to
acquire another property.
But with all the effort of
running the hotel and his
impending nuptials, he
barely has any time left to

pursue these expansionist dreams. Fortunately for
him, one of the retirees
(Smith) has agreed to comanage the hotel —as well
as everybody’s love life.
This time around the
emphasis is more on
Sonny’s adventures than
the hotel guests’ travails,
but that’s O.K. as long as we
get to catch up with our old
friends.
Sonny’s mix-up with the
building inspector and his
efforts to find investors are
funny enough, but the subplots involving the guests
are more interesting.
In addition to having the
same ensemble cast, this
second film returns to the
same exotic location.
Again standing in for the
Marigold Hotel is Ravla
Khempur, once the pal-
ace of a tribal chieftain.
Located in the state of
Rajasthan, these dilapidated ruins have what director
John Madden calls “a magical quality and unmistakable charm.”
The cinematography
shows it.
As one moviegoer said,
“They’ve turned up the
saturation on Rajasthan,
making it look even more
colorful, even friendlier and
definitely cleaner than it
actually is.”
If you loved the first
movie, you’re sure to love
this one too.
No matter what your
age, I recommend that you
check in at “The Best Exotic
Marigold Hotel” for the
elderly and beautiful for a
second time.

FILM IN PARADISE
“Go Nightclubbing” with Ivers and Armstrong
Ever wish you could hop
into your time machine
and go nightclubbing during the heyday of Punk
music? You know, back
when those unforgettable
icons like Richard Hell, The
Cramps, the Dead Boys and
Iggy Pop were redefining
music to their own rebellious sensibilities.
Yes, I’ll bet you were
probably a bit rebellious in
those days too.
Well, you’re in luck even
if you don’t have a time
machine and you’ve long
outgrown your Mohawk
hairdo. Pat Ivers and Emily
Armstrong — the pair that
The New York Times called
“The Lewis and Clark
of Rock Video” — have
unveiled eight vintage films
that take you into the New
York City club scene during
the heyday of Punk.
These archivists have
titled these films “Go
Nightclubbing — A Modern
Punk History.” And it’s having an unprecedented U.S.
cinema premiere right here
at the Tropic Cinema in Key
West.
Running four nights in
a row (March 9-12), this
musical extravaganza is
guaranteed to blow the lid
off.
The gala opening will
take place at 6:30 p.m.
Monday with a champagne reception followed
by two one-hour films,
“Interviews” and “Greatest
Hits.”
Every night thereafter
will feature two one-hour
films, along with an in-person dialogue between the
filmmakers and audience.
“We’re pleased to host
this first-ever showing
in a movie theater,” said
Matthew Helmerich, executive director of the Tropic.
Helmerich heard about
the films when Ivers and
Michael Winship, head
of the Writers Guild of
America, East, were in
town for the Key West Film
Festival.
These days Ivers and
Armstrong like to call
themselves archivists.
But they started off as
two music fanatics with
a video camera. The pair
met back in the 1970s
when both were interns at
Manhattan Cable, a public
access channel in New York
City. Ivers was an editor;
Armstrong did scheduling,
dealing with such notorious characters as Ugly
George. But the girls shared
a love of music.
Armstrong went clubbing
from an early age, catching
acts like Jimi Hendrix, back
when he was fronting for
Jimmy James and the Blue
Flames, but in the early ‘70s
music disappointed her.
Then she met Ivers, who
took her to the club she had
been going to — CBGB.
“It was like hallelujah!”
Armstrong recalls that
moment.
Next thing you know,
they were doing the club
scene — CBGB, Danceteria,
the Mud Club. They starting
videotaping the acts, lugging in portable reel-to-reel
video equipment that actually belonged to Manhattan
Cable.
“We had a key,”
Armstrong said with a
laugh. “We’d sneak the
equipment out, go to the
clubs, return it at four
o’clock in the morning,
catch an hour’s sleep, then
show up for work.”
Ivers remembers their
first night filming at CBGB.
Owner Hilly Kristal told
them to get good footage.
“This group’s really going to
go places,” he predicted.
Only together a few
months at the time, Blondie
was performing.
Later hosting a T.V. show
called “Nightclubbing,”
they taped such great
punkers as Iggy Pop, The
Gogos and Dead Kennedys.
“We fell in love with the
Dead Boys and followed
them from club to club,”
said Armstrong. In all —
from 1977 to 1980 — they
collected over 90 bands on
videotape.
Why bother videotaping
all these acts?
“It was a very small scene
in the very beginning,” said
Ivers, “a time when there
was just no line between
audience and performer.
You’d be having a beer at
the bar with a guy, then
he would get up on the
stage and play. Everybody
did something. I couldn’t
really play an instrument
and I was too shy to sing,
so Emily and I brought a
camera.”
Having designed the
Video Lounge at an illegal
four-floor nightclub known
as Danceteria, they got
arrested along with the performers.
“We were taken downtown in a paddy wagon,”
Armstrong said ruefully.
That night the club was
robbed and their personal
equipment stolen along
with everything else. That’s
when they stopped.
“The punk era was a
fleeting moment. I thought
it was historic, but I didn’t
have a plan,” said Ivers.
“Videotaping it was like
capturing lightning in a
bottle.”
Not long ago, New York
University arranged with
Armstrong and Ivers to
digitize their historic videos. That gave the one-time
club kids — “I’m now a
proud 63 with gray hair,”
said Armstrong — a chance
to clean out the reels of
videotapes stored in their
crowded Manhattan closets and edit them into this
series of films.
So mark your calendar to
go nightclubbing with Pat
Ivers and Emily Armstrong.
It may stir up some memories of the punk world of
the late 19‘70s and early
‘80s.
Or create some new
memories.

Ninth annual Women’s
Hope Concert upcoming
For the ninth year
running, the popular
Woman’s Hope Concert
brings an all-star lineup
to the Tennessee Williams
Cabaret Theatre with an
impressive cast of New York
and Key West headliners.
Starting at 8 p.m. on
March 13, this polished
musical variety show will
deliver its high-energy mix
of standards, jazz, blues,
pop, country, Broadway,
Latin, and Trop Rock to
raise vitally needed funds
for the Cancer Foundation
of the Florida Keys and
provide financial help to
patients in our community.
From New York, that
incredible bundle of joyful
talent Susan Speidel will
arrive with arrangements
for showstopping Broadway
numbers, and lyric soprano
Marie Putko will add her
voice to the cast.
More good fortune has
brought Bruce Moore, Traci
Reynolds and Maj Johnson
back to town this season.
And Key West favorite
Kim Gordon, who also
produces and directs, will
deliver her signature mix of
beautiful love songs and fun
cabaret.
The Woman’s Hope
Concert was created in
2007 by Kim Gordon with
the Key West Woman’s
Club. This year, the first
$25,000 raised through
ticket sales and program
sponsorships will be
doubled thanks to generous matching pledges of
$20,000 from the Klaus
Murphy Foundation and
$5000 from Sydney’s Hope
Project.
General admission is
$45, and cabaret table
seating is $55-65. Tickets
may be purchased at
www.Keystix.com, or
the Tennessee Williams
Theatre box office at 305296-1520.
Lucky Street Gallery at 540 Greene St. will feature the art of Roberta Marks and Carol
Munder with an opening reception on Thursday, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Award-winning artists’
works at Lucky Street
The thoughtful and provocative works
of Roberta Marks and Carol Munder are
on display at Lucky Street Gallery, 540
Greene St.
The opening reception is from 6:30 to
8:30 p.m. tonight.
Notable is the fact that both women
are winners of the South Florida Cultural
Consortium Grant, with Munder being
Monroe County’s only two-time winner
of the prestigious award. They are both
focused on narratives for this show, but in
contrasting ways.
Marks’s stories are deeply personal. The
journals of her past explore the complexity of addiction of all types, chemical
— and more subtle — to the Internet and
cell phones.
One of the her most notable pieces,
“Back to the Drawing Board,” was created
in France from a German couple’s working drawings of students.
Marks also has small paintings on display.
On the other hand, Munder’s subtle
and emotive photogravure work has an
American edge for the first time, revealing developing narratives through various
pages of a book. Working a bit larger,
combining stronger elements, givesher
work an entirely new story to tell.

The Studios of Key West will hold an opening reception for two new exhibitions from 6 to 8 p.m. today.
The public is invited.
As The Studios moves into its new home at 533 Eaton

visuals.
The receptiion will also mark the annual show of
works by the students of Roberta Marks. “In the Mix

‘Tropical Intent’ exhibit

The tropical inspirations, interpretations and intentions of artists Priscilla Coote, Don Simonini and Bill
Thompson will be on display at Gallery on Greene, 606
Greene St.
“Tropical Intent” opens with an artists’ reception from
5 to 8 p.m. Saturday.
The show combines Coote’s captivating blue waters
and endless island skies with Thompson’s vivid and
absorbing abstractions. Simonini conveys his own tropical intentions, transforming historic coins salvaged from
the Cazador shipwreck into whimsical marine creatures
and blank canvases into inviting island vistas.
Coote and her work have returned to Key West following a year of European exploration and discovery
that added a new depth to her tonalist style. A nearphotographic rendering, entitled “Secret Smile,” depicts
a young girl strolling unnoticed among preoccupied
groups of beachgoers. Her sandy legs reveal telltale signs
of play at water’s edge, and the hint of a smile belies a
passing amusement known only to her.
Thompson’s paintings don’t hint at any secrets, but
boldly declare the inviting locales and memories he lovingly recreates.
Simonini infuses each one of his creations with his own
passion for the ocean and the life it sustains.
