roles each, he matched an ac-tress to each role. Betty KaySeibt plays maid Agnes, who isdeaf and stubborn in equal mea-sure. Sherri Small makes herDenton debut in the role of Su-sie, an actress hired by the butlerhimself. Colleen Reed plays thewhip-smart Jo, one of the wom-en in bed with the butler.

“I wanted to cast some ma-ture women in these roles, be-cause we have mature womenwho can play these parts,” Wil-liams said.

Small and Reed are, as itturns out, a match for actress Va-nessa Welch, who is all long redhair and curves as Renee.

Playwright Parker suggestedthe butler be played by an actorbetween age 40 and 60, but thedirector cast Tom Kelly, an actor

Alate California billionairehas left all of his assets tohis daughter Connie —

except for the $22 million yachthe left to his British squeeze Jo,the $25 million art collection heleft to his bodacious Frenchflower Renee, and the pricelessantique cars he left to his limberlover Marjorie.

When Connie and her greedylawyer Vance show up at themansion to see if they can buyout the girlfriends, the man withall the answers is the butler, Clif-ton.

Denton resident Johnny Wil-liams returns to the DentonCommunity Theatre director’schair after a hiatus of “years andyears” to lead Who’s in Bed Withthe Butler?, a farce by playwrightMichael E. Parker, an English-man.

Williams said he was happyto serve when the companyneeded a trained hand to helmthe confection. Who’s in Bedhasn’t gotten the Broadwaytreatment, but it has been pro-duced across the country bycommunity theaters.

And it makes sense for com-munity theaters to gravitate tothe farce.

“It’s a play for six women andthree men,” Williams said.“That’s great for us. We have somany talented women whoshow up for auditions in Den-ton. And we usually have a lotmore women at auditions thanmen.”

As for his long years awayfrom the director’s post, Wil-liams chalked it up to his ownlimitations.

“I didn’t have the energy,”said Williams, who is a formermanaging director of DentonCommunity Theatre — beforehe went to work at Acme Brick.“Now that I’m retired, I do.”

Williams said he took someliberties with casting. Instead ofhaving three actresses play two

“closer to my age,” Williams said. “I wanted him to be real,” he

added. The play is meant as fun,

light fare, and Parker makessure most of the charactersmake out all right.

“The three women are called

bimbos, but in a different time,maybe a different place, they’dbe considered entrepreneurs —which is what they are,” Wil-liams said.

Sam Lao stirred up the Dallasmusic press in 2013 for goodreason.

The young and rising Dallas MCis far more literary than Nicki Mi-naj and every bit as feral as Domi-nique Young Unique.

When she takes the stage nextmonth during Denton’s Thin Line,a five-day documentary film andmusic festival, she’ll break off a bigpiece of her heady flow and grown-up poetry for Denton audiences.

Lao, whose visual arts chopspreceded her preternatural spittingskills, dusted up attention for hersix-track 2013 EP, West Pantego.And rightly so. Smart musical os-mosis may have come from Lao’sassociation with the artists andelectronic savants of Dallas crewBrain Gang (who rocked Andy’s Barlate last year during a hip-hop set),but at any rate, the EP sets the barhigh for any follow-up. Pantego is asolid record from start to finish, but“Run!” is an example of Lao’s com-mand of verse, and “Paradise,”which makes excellent use of Cold-play’s trial run with pop, is a docketof Lao’s intuition for music.

With a find such as Lao on theThin Line music roster, festival or-ganizers have signaled their serious-ness in broadening what had been a10-day blast just for documentaryfilms. Lao represents the cream ofDallas’ hip-hop scene. Brave Combostands in for tradition in Denton,and as of Wednesday night, the toplab jazz band at Denton HighSchool had also earned a slot.

Sam Riggs wanted his debutalbum to be different.

“I wanted to make an albumthat was different in a way thattouches people and reaches peo-ple on a different level,” Riggssaid. “I didn’t want to make analbum that was about blue jeansand beer.”

Not that there isn’t a place incountry music for blue jeans andcold beer. It’s just that the Austinmusician didn’t see the sense inplowing over spent ground.When Outrun the Sun droppedlate last year, Riggs said he feltlike the album lived up to themoney and time that Nashville-based Vision Entertainment putinto it.

Riggs didn’t shy away fromcalling out Denton producerErik Herbst (who’s worked withthe likes of the Eli Young Bandand Bowling for Soup) as a task-master.

“I feel lucky to have spent thetime with Erik,” Riggs said. “Erikknew how to push me. It mighthave made me mad at the time,but in hindsight, he was right topush me the way he did.”

Sam Riggs and the NightPeople cruise into Denton to-night for a date at Rockin’ Ro-deo. He and his band will roll in-to the lot off Avenue C with the

fire in their bellies still stoked.Outrun the Sun earned ravesfrom Country Weekly and Tex-as Music magazines as well asgetting love from the indie-lov-ing set, including Daytrotter andThe 615, a Billboard blog.

“It’s a collection of stories,and all these stories are part ofthe same book,” Riggs said. “Erikand I sat down and talked abouthow country music is about tell-ing a story.”

Outrun the Sun tries to be a

little bit of everything, and fromthe pop-friendly, bass drum-heavy rock anthem “Change”that fades to black at the end ofthe album, to the country-rock,chart-ready “The Chase,” Riggspresents a polished product.

One track, “Angola’s La-ment,” makes you yearn formore of his banjo picking andhonest voice. It’s the track thatgoes down the dirtiest and thebest, and betrays the Texas bluessoulfulness that mentor RayWylie Hubbard taught Riggs toplumb for. (It’s one of those Tex-as blues-rock numbers thatmakes you imagine the warpingheat hovering on a dirt road andsmell the organic musk tappedin the oilfield.)

“We’ve been playing quite afew of these songs on stage forquite a while,” Riggs said. “I feltlike they were ready to go, butErik had other ideas. In the pro-

ducer-musician relationship, hewas ready to grow the songs in away I wasn’t ready for. But all thechanges he made to my songsended up being right.”

“Collide” took the producerand Riggs down the rabbit holefor a while. “Collide” was prob-ably the most personal for thesongwriter, but Riggs said he satdown on the floor of the studioand hammered out the bridgefor the tune in about an hour.

“I have a rule of thumb,”Riggs said. “I don’t like to recordanything we can’t replicate onstage. At the time, we wanted tobe a better band, and I think werose to the occasion. I mean, wedid some overtracking, and vo-cals were [done] at the end.”

Riggs said he and Herbst “satthere for days” in the studio.Herbst kept demanding moreprecision from from Riggs.

“Erik doesn’t tune anything,”

Riggs said. “Erik is a nazi when itcomes to vocals. We worked andworked on it. He’d go over to thepiano and bang on it, like, ‘Thisis the note. This is it. Right here.’He’d be hitting that note.

“I think he knew what hecould pull out of me. I feel like hemade me better. I definitely feellike I’ve grown as a singer, as asongwriter.”

Riggs and his band willspend some time on the roadwringing as much raw energyand emotion out of Outrun theSun as they can.

“When you write songs, writ-ing gets you to write more. I’vegot more songs now, and I’mworking on more,” he said.“When it comes to making re-cords, I’m of the mind that, youknow, we’ll make a record whenthere’s a record to be made.”

MOVIES

To emphasize the gravity ofGimme Shelter, the openingcredits state that it is “based on atrue story.” Then, the words “atrue story” linger on the screen.So, no need to worry — youwon’t forget for a second howserious this grossly manipula-tive new movie is.

Gimme Shelter is an awk-ward mix of cautionary tale andafter-school TV special, com-bining elements of each for alumpy experience. Writer-di-rector Ron Krauss ends up de-livering several — at times con-tradictory — messages in tellingthe story of Apple (VanessaHudgens), nee Agnes, a 16-year-

old runaway who is also un-knowingly pregnant.

When Krauss introducesApple, she seems to be survivingsomehow in awful places.Krauss provides a series ofscenes and images of Apple asshe flees several of these abusiveand even dangerous situations.She reveals only enough of her-self for us to see she is stubborn,surly, and not prone to take or-ders from anyone.

After escaping several ofthese clumsily orchestrated cri-ses, she ends up at the plushNew Jersey home of her long-absent father, Tom (BrendanFraser), a Wall Street executive.Remarried with two young chil-dren of his own, he unsuccess-fully tries to bring Apple into his

household.She subsequently survives a

car crash, learns of her pregnan-cy, and then, through the assis-tance of a stereotypically kindpriest (James Earl Jones), landsin a home for teen mothers. Inthe interim, her own drug-ad-dled mother, June (RosarioDawson), screams histrionicallyabout taking Apple back home.

Until late in the narrative,Apple remains mostly a one-note character. Even after she

enters the home and intermin-gles with girls her own age, shestays cantankerous. But thepresence of seemingly caringstrangers obviously works itsmagic because, eventually, Ap-ple faces up to her situation andhandles it somewhat admira-bly.

Despite its “true story” sta-tus, Gimme Shelter continu-ously traffics in overly melodra-matic elements. Finally, the res-olution comes as easily, as doesthe all-around forgiveness.

The films ends predictably asthe manipulative, sappy morali-ty play it is, with maudlin end-ing credits of photos of the realApple, her child and the friendsshe made at the mothers’ home.How sweet indeed.

Bale), who in 1978, began running

scams with his partner Sydney

Prosser (Amy Adams). Busted by an

FBI agent (Bradley Cooper), the two

then help trap politicians. High-energy

scenes combine with bad hair and

worse costumes for a wild ride.

Frozen (★★★ 1⁄2) Disney’s new

we get right to the action — the

COVER STORY

Independent Ale Works has some-thing to celebrate.

The local craft brewery launches itstaproom during a party on Saturday.

What’s a taproom? Simple: a bar withbeers on tap to serve cool, locally madebeer.

The company, known locally simplyas Indy Ales, was one of a couple of localcraft brewers to start in 2010. ArmadilloAle Works traces its beginnings to thesame year. Independent Ale Workspaved the way for fledgling breweries likeUgly Rugger and Zero96.

Indy Ales founders Stefen Windhamand Dave Miller nursed the breweryfrom a weekend passion to a business.The pair opened a nanobrewery in Krumto make the company’s simple menu ofales.

Their aim? To make tasty ales thataren’t fussy or the sop-catch for snootyfoodies. If you tip back Indy’s amber orblond ale with a burger and fries andcount yourself happy, Windham andMiller will have met their goals.

The local brewery will serve beers thatpatrons can sample with fare from WaffleWagon (you can start with the foodtruck’s savory waffles and finish off with asweet one). If you want a more typicallyTexas beer experience, another foodtruck, Flatlanders Taco Co., will slingTex-Mex staples.

Indy Ales hasn’t announced what willbe in the kegs, but the brewery has mas-tered its Amber 3.0, and also serves ablond. There’s no word on whether theanticipated dark ale (made with a splashof Irish cream) will make an appearanceat the taproom launch. (With the forecastpredicting a high of 62 degrees on Satur-day and a low of 34, it’d be providential totoast with the amber in the afternoonand a darker, heavier brew in the eve-ning.)

No Denton beer party would be com-plete without music, and Indy Alesdoesn’t disappoint. Dallas rock quartetProstinaut will kick out some sounds,and Lone Star duo Sand Dollar Rodeowill strike up some alt-country. (Note:Sand Dollar Rodeo lists beer and okraamong its band interests.)

reclaim the kingdom of Erebor from

the frightening dragon Smaug. With

Ian McKellen, Stephen Fry, Ryan Gage,

Orlando Bloom and Evangeline Lilly.

Rated PG-13, 161 minutes. — The

Associated Press

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

(★★ 1⁄2) In this Jack Ryan reboot, Chris

Pine takes over as Tom Clancy’s CIA

analyst. Shadow Recruit, which was

scripted without a Clancy book, tells a

new backstory for Ryan. Inspired by

Sept. 11, he joins the Marines and is

heroically injured in Afghanistan.

During his recovery, he meets his

eventual fiancee (Keira Knightley) and

is lured to the CIA by a mysterious

recruiter (Kevin Costner). He’s co-

vertly embedded at a Wall Street

bank where he uncovers a Russian

plot to buy up U.S. Treasury bonds.

Director-actor Kenneth Branagh

endows his film with (mostly) old-

fashioned competency but little to

distinguish it from superior thrillers

that have come before. Rated PG-13,

105 minutes. — AP

The Legend of Hercules Betrayed

by his stepfather, the mythical Greek

hero Hercules (Kellan Lutz) is sold

into slavery because of a forbidden

love and must fight for his life and his

kingdom. With Scott Adkins and Liam

McIntyre. Directed by Renny Harlin.

Rated PG-13, 87 minutes. — LAT

Lone Survivor (★★ 1⁄2) Mark Wahl-

berg stars in this true story of four

Navy SEALS in Afghanistan in 2005

on a mission to find and eliminate a

Taliban leader. When the squad is

reduced to one (hence the title), he

finds refuge in an unlikely place. The

standard action flick accentuates the

bravery of the squad, but co-writer

and director Peter Berg never raises

his film beyond routine adventure

material. With Eric Bana, Emile Hirsch,

Ben Foster and Taylor Kitsch. Rated R,

121 minutes. — B.A.

The Nut Job (★★ 1⁄2) In Peter Lepe-

niotis’ animated film, the animals in

Liberty Park, ruled by a gruff raccoon

(voiced by Liam Neeson) are facing a

severe nut shortage, and Surly the

squirrel (Will Arnett), who thinks only

of himself, has somehow set fire to

the winter stockpile. Banished from

the park, Surly discovers a nut shop

— cashews, peanuts, hazelnuts, you

name it. If he can snag that booty,

he’ll be golden for the winter — but a

group of humans plotting a bank heist

have their own connections to the nut

stash. Decent but frankly forgettable

entry to the animal-centered ani-

mated film oeuvre. With Katherine

Heigl, Brendan Fraser and Maya

Rudolph. Rated PG, 86 minutes. — AP

Ride Along (★★ ) A little Kevin Hart

goes a long way in Ride Along, a dull

buddy picture engineered as a vehicle

for the mini-motor mouth Hart and

the perma-sneering Ice Cube. Cube is

cranky cop James, whose pursuit of a

mysterious villain named Omar is

interrupted by his sister’s fiance. That

would be Ben (Hart), a video game-

addicted school security guard who

longs to bring his wise-cracking,

voice-cracking banter to the Atlanta

P.D. James drags Ben on a ride-along

just to convince the dude he isn’t cut

out for police work and that he isn’t

good enough for James’ supermodel

sister Angela (Tika Sumpter). Rated

PG-13, 100 minutes. — McClatchy-

Tribune News Service

Saving Mr. Banks (★★★ ) Tom

Hanks stars as Walt Disney and

Emma Thompson turns in a spirited

performance as P.L. Travers, the

author of Mary Poppins. He brings

her to Hollywood from England in

hopes of landing the movie rights to

her book. But he finds her cantanker-

ous and obstructionist at every turn.

Amusingly entertaining with two fine

lead performances. Rated PG-13, 125

minutes. — B.A.

The Wolf of Wall Street (★★ 1⁄2)

Leonardo DiCaprio stars in this in-

consistently high-energy film from

Martin Scorsese that skewers Wall

Street and those who bend the rules

to work there. A blazing first half filled

with excess slows to a second-half

grind. Fine supporting cast includes

Matthew McConaughey, Margot

Robbie, Shea Whigham, Jonah Hill and

Jon Bernthal. Rated R, 180 minutes. —
