disrupted the entire thing with an anarchic dance number. The prissy business of correct elocution couldn’t be less relevant. As in the original film, the songs themselves often float surreally free of the story. In Good Morning (celebrating their all-night conversation in which the genre of movie musical has been invented), Kathy, Cosmo and Don prophetically pick up rain coats, anticipating the legendary title number to come. To some extent, cinema’s crisis of self-doubt is part of what drove the original film. Kathy Selden, played by Shannon Conboy is the wannabe actor and stern ingénue who lectures Fullerton’s genially complacent silent movie star Don Lockwood about the superiority of the legitimate theatre over the movies when they meet-cute. Not really believing it herself, while making ends meet jumping out of cakes at Hollywood parties and going into a sublime song’n’dance routine to All I Do Is Dream of You. When the silent cinema is forced to accommodate sound, and Don and his co-star Lina Lamont make their first faltering attempts to speak from the screen, for an awful moment their acting looks crass, childish and comical. Are the naysayers right? Are the talkie movies just silly? You’ll have to go see it for yourself to get the rest of the story but I’ll say this, we truly enjoyed how they pulled off the title cut ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ live on stage… also, overall, the choreography was exquisite! At one point I counted 17 actors on stage all singing and dancing with umbrellas and rain-gear… with no mishaps … impressive! And I’ll add this... Lina Lamont played by Alexandra Nicole Garcia had a most difficult role.... It’s actually very hard to sing bad...... intentionally! In the end, Fullerton, Conboy, Stone and Garcia do something achieved only by true artists: they made it look easy. https://broadwaypalm.com 239-278-4422 Dr. Andrew Frey, Dental Assistants Alex and Ali and Dental dental care exclusively to Uninsured Adults in the Fort Myers area. Our facility is very modern but still modest while using the latest technology and treatment modalities. We focus on the technology that delivers the highest quality care without all the glitz and gadgetry that increase costs. This allows us to offer lower fees to serve the people in our community. Dr. Frey grew up in Michigan and graduated from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, which has been ranked as the top dental school in the United States for the past four years, according to the QS World University Rankings. Dr. Frey comes from a family legacy of dental providers and has moved to Southwest Florida with his wife Valerie, currently a middle school teacher. After watching the dental profession change, we felt it had to be done a different way (A Non Insured Way). Patients often remark they find our office to be a breath of fresh air in an age where profit and greed driven corporations and insurance agencies are invading every aspect of our lives including our healthcare. Here at Independent Dental Care, we treat all patients like we would our own family and friends. Dental insurance itself is a huge clerical expense for a dental office. If we worked with insurance companies we would have to hire more people just to process and reprocess claims as the insurance companies decide the best treatment for the patient. Dr. Frey said in his opinion the entire concept of dental insurance has led to today’s inflated dental fees and a climate that encourages treatment based on fees rather than needs. The insurance system is a breeding ground for greed, fraud and prejudice. We see a number of new patients each week, yet have always been able to get people in for the emergency care they may need. “We explain to our patients that we don’t cut corners on treatment, care or materials”, said Dental Assistant Alex. “We provide ourselves in treating people, not just their teeth. We love dentistry and feel great about providing excellent care driven by our desire to help others.” Many of our patients are seniors or those with a very limited healthcare policy that gives them only a few benefits and then charges more for their other needs. We offer no gimmicks just to get you in the office. We offer only modern quality dental treatment at an affordable cost. Dr. Andrew Frey, D.D.S.

Grga Brkic was with two other hikers and his eight-month-old Alaskan Malamute, North, in the Velebit mountains in Croatia when he fell 150 meters down a slope and was unable to move. The other two hikers could not reach him and called for help. North didn't leave his side. "Friendship and love between man and dog have no boundaries,"Croatia’s mountain rescue service said in a Facebook post. The dog curled up on Brkic and warmed him during the high-altitude rescue mission which lasted 13 hours. 27 first responders eventually reached Brkic where he was stranded, nearly 1,800 meters above sea level. "The minutes and seconds before they arrived were so slow," Brkic told Croatian media. "This little dog is a real miracle." A Real Miracle': Dog Saves Injured Hiker In Croatian Mountains
