Montrose Voice Staff Reporter
Plans are underway for the revitalization
of the Lower Westheimer area as lots are
cleared and an old restaurant remodeled.
One of the major changes which will
occur during the year begins March 6 with
a groundbreaking ceremony in the 500
block. Plans call for the mayor and city
officials to attend the event. The ground·
breaking will signal the beginning of the
Westheimer Village Shopping Center.
The 55,000 square-foot center will be
constructed of glass, stucco and a steel
frame, according to consultant Bob Ryan.
It is planned to house specialty shops,
boutiques, and restaurants. Available
parking will be a 50-car underground garage
with a 42-car parking lot in front of the
building.
"Construction will be begin in early
March ," Ryan said. "It should be completed
by the end oftheyearwithfulloccupancy
by the spring of 1987," he added.
Although there will be an elevator from
the garage to the second floor, there will be
stairs from the street to the second floor
and the garage.
The developer of the project is R.J.
McConnell.
Another project which is giving a new
look to the area is the location of the old
Godfath er Restaurant on Westheimer.
According to Albert Marshall, the architect
for the restaurant to be called "La
Strada," a major facelift is planned.
The Catania family, which owned the
Godfather, also own the new restaurant.
"I am working with the owners of the
building to produce a new look with light
stucco and almost as open as it was," Marshall
said.
The Italian food restaurant will be open·
ing iii about four months if the current
plans continue.

Decline in Other STD's Too
AIDS Cases Reported in Houston Levels Off
By Pete Diamond
Montroae Voice Staff Reporter
In the &even years since the first cases of
AIDS were reported in the U.S., some
16,500 people have been afflicted with the
diaease. Each month the number of people
diagnosed as having AIDS continues to
cJimb. and the national Center for Disease
Control estimates there will be between
14,000 and 15,000 new cases this year
Despite this grim prediction, there is
some encouraging news. According to statistics
compiled by the City of Houston
Department of Health and Human Servi·
cee, the number of reported AIDS cases in
Houston appears to be Jevehng off.
From 1981 to 1984, the number of new
AIDS cases more than doubled each year
La.at year was the exception. however. In
1985, 192 new cases of AIDS were diagnosed,
compared to 171 cases in 1984.
Houston Health Director Dr. Jam es
Haughton says he first began noticing the
apparent slowdown of new cases early in
19R5. And although he predicta the trend
to continue this year, Hauahton cautions
that the AIDS virus may remain dormant
for five years or more. Therefore it is diffi.
cult to eetimate the number of Houstoni·
ans who may eventualJy develop AIDS.
Haughton added there is a lag in the
reportinR' of new AIDS cases and the total
number of cases for 1985 may exceed 200.
Even if this does occur. he says the total
will otill be far leas than the doubling of
previoua years
Tom Audette, administrative director
for the Montrose Clinic, does not dispute
the reported leveling offof AIDS cases. but
queetion1 the reliability of the statistics.
"We see the figures leveling off, but are
they accurate? I'm just not sure."
Audette says he is uncertain whether
the actual number of AIDS cases is
decreasing or if the reporting of new cases
is decreasing. Discrimination towards
persons with AIDS is no longer suspected,
he says. It has been documented.
A diagnosis of AIDS may, as in some
cases, result in an individual losing his
job, being evicted from an apartment or
even being shunned by friends and family
members. It is this threat of discrimina·
tion that Audette believes may be causing
some individuals to not tell a person he
has AIDS if aome doubt exists in the diagnosis
or not reporting that a patient has
AIDS in order to protect the individual.
If the city's statistics are an accurate
indication of how many people in Houston
have AIDS. several ideas have been
offered to account for why the number of
new cases appears to be leveling off.
Haughton suggests one reason for this
may be that fewer gay men are moving to
Houston, something he believes has
resulted from the defeat of the gay job
rights referendum and anti-homosexual
rhetoric during last November's election
Audette, on the contrary, disputes this
thought as •·pure conjecture" because it is
difficult to prove.
However. the two men agree that a level·
ing off of AIDS cases could be attributable
to safer sex practices and educational
materials about preventing AIDS. "People
are more conscious of their health today. If
their immunity system is depressed,
they're seeking help to try to correct it,"
Audette say1. "Gay men have absolutely
changed their sexual habits overall.
There's no question in my mind."
This change in sexual habits has also
had a dramatic impact on the incidence of
sexually transmitted diseases (S1'D's)
among gay men. Audette explained that
in contrast to the ever-growing number of
people with AIDS, fewer people are requiring
treatment for STD's.
Citywide, the number of cases of gonorrhea
and syphilis has declined significantly
among both the gay and general
populations. However, the rate of decline
for the gay population was nearly twice as
rapid as that of the general population.
From 1982 to 191l5, gonorrhea dropped
63.3 percent among gays and syphilis
decreased 58.2 percent. This is compared
to a 41.2 percent decline in gonorrhea for
the general population and a drop of 39.8
percent in the incidence of syphilis.
Audette says he is not surprised by the
drop in the number of STD cases. " It's
directly attributable to safe sex," he says.
"Most people have dramatically changed
their sexual habits. Relationships are in."
But Audette is concerned that some people
may develop a false sense of security
about contracting an S1'D because the
numbers are down. Audette says it is
unfortunate, for example, that fewer people
are taking the Hepatitis B vaccine.
Many people are more concerned about
spending their money totaketheHTLV-III
or PACE (Program for AIDS Counseling
and Evaluation) test than the Hepatitis B
vaccine, he says. "We need to try to forget
AIDS for a while and remember to take
preventative health measures such as the
hepatitis vaccine."
Neverthele88, Audette maintains "it's
important to constantly hammer into people's
heads the ways of preventing AIDS."
Some of the people most susceptible to
being expoAed to the AIDS virus are those
who are ignorant of how to prevent exposure,
he says.
Despite the encouraging statistics
showing the number of new AIDS cases
may be leveling off in Houston, Audette
says there is still reason to be concerned.
While the number of cases in Houston may
stabilize somewhat, they may increase in
another city-for a period of time-and
then these "trends" may reverse themselves.
"Maybe I'm being too pessimistic about
it," he says. "[ hope the figures are true,
(but) we are in no way out of the woods.
The worst thing we can do is imply that we

Hospice Comforts the Terminally Ill
By Pete Diamond
Montroae Voice Staff Reporter
You matter because you are you. You mat·
ter to the last moment of your life. and we
will do all we can not only to help you die
peacefully, but also to live until you die.
-Cicely Saunders.
founder of St.
Christopher's Hospice,
London
Based on a premise of hope, hospices
throughout Europe and the United States
have committed themselves to improving
the quality of life for the terminally ill.
The Casa de Nino10 hospice, located on
Old Spanish Trail, south of the Texas
Medical Center. is one of four Houston
area hospices devoted to accomplishing
this goal. Originally opened last October
as a children's hospice, Casa de Ninos
recently decided to expand their services
to include terminaHy ill adults-including
those who have AIDS
Barbara Boyette, vice president of Casa
de Ninos, explained that a specialized hoe·
pice for children was "a good idea before
its time." The decision to expand existing
services came after administrators reexamined
the hoepice facility and what it
had to offer, as well as the needs of the
medical community.
Boyett said that aft.er talking with such
individuals a.a Nate Sebastian of the
KS/AIDS Foundation, it was apparent
that persons with AIDS could benefit from
much of what a hospice has to offer.
The term "hoepice" has its origins in the
Middle Agee. During that time, people per·
ceived life as a journey or pilgrimage and
death was considered a natural part of
that journey. Hospices were refuge along
the path of life where people on religious
pilgrimages could atop to rest. and where
the sick and dying, hungry, orphaned and
poor were welcomed.
Hospices today still serve as "refuge,"
but their main focus now is aimed at providing
terminally ill patients and their
families with physical, emotional and
apiritual support. The hospice, for many
people, is an appealing alternative to
dying in a nursing home or hospital.
.. We can provide support the person
facing a terminal condition need.a." says
Gretchen Thorp, Casa de Ninos administrator
. ... We can help them go through the
dieease process and go through the feel ·
ings their loved ones are also experiencing,"
Thorp points out the hospice does not
take a physician's patient from him or his
1uperviaon of that patient. In fact. after
referring a patient to the hospice, the physician
will continue his care of the patient.
Physicians are also part of the hospice
atructure-the "interdisciplinary team" of
1peciali1ts who provide support for
patient.a and family members.
With hospice patients, the ph_;sician's
role changes from that of treating symptoms
aa a means of cure, to one of medical
1uperviaion and consultation. Hospice
care doe1 not involve the use of "heroic"
meaeures such aa dialysis, respirators or
blood transfusions to prolong a person '1
life.
Instead. pain relieving drugs and other
medication• are given to make patient.
more comfortable. Through such pallia·
tive means. the hospice aims to relieve
pain and maintain the quality of the
patient's life without clouding his mind.
Furthermore, patients needn't fear the
return of pain because control is always
one step ahead of the pain.
Physically, the Casa de Ninos hospice is
much different from a hospital or nursing
home. While aome hoepice programs are
hospital-based, Casa de Ninos is a frees·
tanding inpatient facility. The 60-bed hoe·
p1ce i1 actually a renovated apartment
complex.
Gretchen Thorp, administrator, and Barbara Boyett, vice president, are key
figures behind the programs at Casa de Ninos. (Pete Diarnond photo)
Unlike the oft.en sterile feeling of hos pi
tal rooms, the apartments have a "homey"
atmosphere about them. Each of the 40
unit.a are carpeted and furnished with living,
dining and bedroom furniture, as well
as kitchen supplies so family members
who ch008e to stay overnight can make
meals or patients can make their favorite
foods whenever they choose.
"Today's society is not very attuned to
death and dying," Thorp says. "But the
hospice environment can help patients
and their families be more relaxed and
more accepting of death."
Most people who are facing a terminal
illness would rather be in a home-like
environment than a hospital, she adds. In
fact, it has been shown that four out of
every five people would prefer to die in
their home.
Boyett points out that while the hospice
may be the ideal place for a terminally ill
person who has nowhere else to go, it also
can serve as a place where patients and
family members make the transition from
leaving the hospital to moving back home.
In such a case, the interdisciplinary team
will work with the patient and family,
teaching them how to care for the patient,
as well as providing other helpful inform&·
tion and reassurance.
Family members are encouraged to help
care for the patient whether or not he is at
home or in the hospice inpatient facility.
Clinical obRervations have shown that
family members who are actively involved
in caring for the patient while he is alive
are leas likely to feel guilt and self.
criticism after the patient's death.
Family involvement may also help ease
a patient' a auffering. This may range from
involving the patient in an interesting
activity to just listening to what he hast...'.>
say. It may even be as simple as holding
the person'• hand. One hospice patient
wrote to her doctor, "All I want to know is
that there ie aomeone who can hold my
hand when I need it. Death may be routine
to you, but it's new to me."
Home health nursE'8 will also visit a
patient and their primary care giver in the
home to provide nursing care and monitor
the patient's condition. The frequency of
the nurse's visits are determined by need,
but a contact is generally made weekly. If
an emergency visit or advice is needed,
nurses are available 24 hours a day, seven
daya a week .
Casa de Ninos, like many other hospi·
cea, offers reapite for families. This short·
term service. which may last from a few
hours to two weeks, allows family
members to take a break in their respons1·
bilitiee for caring for the terminally ill person.
Home health care is desirable for many
terminally ill people because it allows
them to spend the remainder of their lives
at home, in comfortable, familiar surroundings,
with family members nearby.
However, if the family does not feel they
are ready to provide fulltime care for the
patient. or if they are uncomfortable with
having him die in the home, Boyett said
the hospice can again serve as a transition
from home when the patient is in the final
stages of dying.
One of the keys of hospice care, according
to Boyett, is treating the family in
addition to the patient. Thorp agrees,
adding that acute care too often focuses
only on the individual patient and not the
family .
Both women conceded. however, that
the majority of the people in the medical
profe1uiion have been trained to save lives,
and not to give up hope. But there are
times, Thorp says, when it must be realized
that nothing more can be done to save
or prolong a person's life.
And that, she says, is where the hospice
can come in and help improve the quality
of a patient's life. Even after a person's
death. the hospice will continue to serve as
a refuge for the family. Through the hospice
bereavement program, family
members may receive spiritual and emo·
tional support for a year or more.
Besides providing these services, hospices
such as Casa de Ninos also offer a
number of other benefits, including unres·
tricted visiting hours and brief visits with
pets. Because Casa de Ninos is licensed by
the Texas Department of Health as a special
hospital, Boyett said most insurance
companies will reimburse patients for the
standard semi-private room rate of $135
daily.
''There are a lot of people who are in
acute care hospitals that don't need to be
there," Boyett says. Furthermore, she
adds that the cost of hospice care can be a
substantial savings over that of a hospital
where daily charges may run from $250 a
day to more than $400 for AIDS patients.
Boyett also said the hospice has established
a non-profit fund to help terminally
ill individuals who have either lost their
insurance benefits, or do not have insu·
ranee, pay for the cost of staying in the
hospice.
"We hope people are beginning to under
stand the needs of people who have AIDS,"
Boyett said. "Education has really had an
impact on this, but a lot more can be done.
And 1 think we can help."

Few Cities Make it Part of the Curriculum
Teens Won't LearnAboutAIDS in School ~w~
w::!::f: By Laura Fraser
Pacific New• Service
Specia.J t-0 the Montrose Voice
The AIDS epidemic won't be stemmed,
experts say, without widespread educa·
tion about how to prevent the disease. But
only a few high schools nationwide-in
thoee cities where the death toll is already
high-have started teaching about AIDS
in claaa.
.. High school students need to know
rilka,'" say• Dr. Marcus Conant, director
of the National AIDS Foundation. "The
eeriousnesa of the dil~ease is such that you
need to begin education as soon as poRsible."
Yet in Houston, for example, there is no
curriculum about AIDS, no teaching material•
prepared by the achoo! di•trict. and
no teacheT m..aervice training programs
about the disease planned .
.. AIDS is not spelled out as a 'must
teach."' says Rosalind Young, spokesper
son for the Houston public school district.
She says that since there has been "no
public outcry to have AIDS education,'' it
eimply has not been taught.
School districts in many other cities
have taken similar positions to date.
An exception is Los Angeles. where the
Khool board has made AIDS education a
requirement for aJI students beyond elementary
Khool AIDS units will be written
into health education and social science
curricula. and all tea("hertt will attend .flpecial
AIDS training seesions.
And m New York City, over 100,000 pu~
lie IK'hool teachers and staff attended a
citywide training sesaion last October,
while Schoole Chancellor Nathan Qui·
nones has Biked that lesson plans be
drawn up about AIDS for students in
gradee 7·12.
But even in San Francisco, where Alm;.
related deaths are the highest per capita of
any major city, there is no official direc·
tive to teach about AIDS. The echool dis·
trict .. doesn't do directives on any
eubject." says Joan Haskin, health program
1pecialist for the city's public
echoola, though she believea AIDS will
become "another part of our education
about aaually transmitted diseases."
Some San Francisco school~ are moving
ahead with AIDS education on their own,
and the results point up the need among
teenagers who, as a group, are among the
most sexually active and the least
informed about Ams
After a lea11<>n on AIDS at George
Waahington Hiirh School, Anna. a 10th
grader. WTOte that she previously had
thought "AlD.."i was only in San Fran·
cisco" and that "AIDS is easier to catch
than it really is."
The lesson had not changed Anna's
deepeet fee1ings about AIDS, however.
That feeling, which she and two thirds of
her cl8.88 wrote on their worksheets, is
fear.
Instructor Donald Leach said he first
began including units about AIDS in his
family life education classes last year
because his students had such "strong
phobias" about the disease. Many thought
they could get AIDS by sitting next to a
gay person on a bus. Some thought it could
be contracted from mosquito bites. And
some had no idea of how to protect them·
selves by usmg "safe sex" procedures.
Leach also said many of his students
thought the diaeaee was confined to homosexual
men, a belief that can lead to what
he calls "homophobia." A few students
wrote that the city should "quarantine
Castro," San Francisco's predominantly
gay district, or "get rid of fags."
Such misconceptions can be traced to
feare and prejudices of parents and peers,
says Leach ... The media tend to sensation·
alize things, and rumors start. A teacher
can give studente the whole picture."
Gradually, l..t>ach's George Washington
class came to see that picture. On
questionnaires handed out to the rlass,
on" true/ false statement read, ·If an
AIDS victim spit on you or sneezed on you
or his/ her tears touched you. you could get
the AIDS virus." After much conversation.

said. "It takes a whole lot of body fluid."
The class then discussed the particulars
about which means of sharing hodily
fluids-inCluding oral and anal
intercou1'8£>. are risky.
Leach admit.a that the discuSBion is
explicit.. but says, ••we start out in this

"AIDS is not spelled

district. She says that

class saying there are no such things as
dirty words. If you teach about sex, you
have to teach it all." So far, no parents
have complained, according to Leach.
George Washington 1s not the only San
Francisco school to teach about AIDS.
Last fall, 300 of the r;ity's teachers
gathered for a voluntary session on AIDS
with the intt>nt of pa.,,.sing on the
information to their students. Health
professionals answered queRtions
students most often ask about the disease.
Then MRr<'ia Quankenbush, with San
Francisco's AIDS Health Project,
provided a suggested cJassrooom
curriculum on AIDS. She advised notonlv
a fu11 discussion of the heaJth matte;&
Murrounding AIDS, but talk about civil
rights issues it has raised.
Quackenbush flays such information is
crucial for teenagers because they are "at
an age where they're beginning to experiment
with sex and drugs, and are setting
lifelong patterns."
The subject is being broached in classrooms
of at least one San FTanci8CO private
Catholic echool aa well. Cathy
Pickerel, a teacher at Presentation High
School, says she teaches about AIDS in
theology cl8.88e8 on "Christian Sexuality"
and "Death and Dying.'' in part to help
her student.a understand ''responsibility
mvolved in sexual activity."
But worries grow that in other plaCC's
across thecountry, AIOS education is not
keeping pace with the spread of the dis·
ease. Says Paul Honeberg, National Coordinator
of Mobilization Against AIDS in
San Francisco, "There's no national effort
to educate teenagers. and that's going to
cost lives. Where's the PrA?"

New Program Improves Counseling
Center's Women's Outreach
By Connie Woods
Montrose Voice Staff Reporter
"I'd like to see the lesbian community
become more cohesive to support each
other and form stronger bonds," said
Karen Hanson, director of the Women's
Program at the Montrose Counseling Center
"lt's important they talk to each other,
support each other, and talk about what's
going on in their lives," she continued.
And with the efforts and direction of the
counseling director, women in the com·
munity now have a better opportunity to
share their thoughts, lives and even problems
Since joining the Center in August,
Hanson has implemented several pro·
grams and plans to offer even more programs
for women.
She sees the women's program as providing
high-quality counseling and support
services for the women's community.
Hanson pointed out that it is a needed
service to have counseling for gays.
The center offers individual counseling
as well aa counseling for couples, even
families, and lesbian couples with children.
[n addition, the center offers weekly
Women's Network sessions on Wednesday
nights.
In the weekly sessions she said, "We've
discussed the coming out process, legal
iMues, parenting, feminism-what it is
and what's going on in Houston."
She sees the Women's Network as a

"family-a support system." The
structure of the Network sessions is to
have a speaker but to break off into small
groups to discuss the topics.
"Our society has so many secretsespecially
sexual secrets like sexual abuse,
for example. We need to be able to talk
about our lives and what's going on," she
explained. "If we can't talk, we can't
become healthy, whole human beings."
She also pointed out that little research
h88 been done about lesbians. She considers
it important that women have a place
to learn about the issues in their livt>s.
Hanson, a native of New York, came to
Houston eight years ago. Before joining
the staff at the center. she worked at the
Houston Area Women's Center in family
violence outreach. .
She said she came to the counsehng
center when the board of directors wanted
to get more women coming to the cen~r.
"There had been more male therapists
than women," . she said. "Bill Scott
(Clinical Director) and Ken Vance
(Executive Director) wanted to get
women's programs going."
When she began the program, questionnaires
were sent to women in the com mun·
ity to get an idea of what topics ranked as
a priority with them and the method they
would like to see the topics handled.
She said some 50 women attended the
first network session thus proving that
women were interested in a program.
In citing particular problems that lesbians
face, she said that they often have
children and "are raising thotJe children
with their lovers."
She said several network sessions have
dealt with lesbian parenting and coparenting.

size of the Houston gay community, she
considers it important to offer more social

Montrose Live
Balm in Gilead, Marat/Sade Share Similarities
By Bill O'Rourke
Montrose Voice Theater Critic
There are two supremely theatrical shows
playing in town now.That's two experien·
ces which would not happen in any other
medium. They are Balm in Gilead (at the
Alley) and Maralf Sade (at Main Street).
Both surround the audience, admit that
it'1 there and make it part of the action. At
Marat we become visitors to an insane
asylum at the time of Napoleon. We are
Jocked in a room with the inmates. who
aometimee stand right behind us for long
periods. At Balm, we stay ourselves but
are encouraged to get up at times and
dance with the characters. Wearecontinu·
ally hit up for money by these spare
change artists.
Both use live music to enhance and com·
ment upon the action . but both rely prim·
arily upon the music of the spoken word.
In Balm, it is, more often than not, street
jive. In Marat, it's a little more courtly. In
both, it often descends into a maelstrom of
cacaphony. That confusion is used to get
gorgeous monologues like gems in filigree
or just to comment to them.
Both plays are also about the faiJureof a
person who sees the horrors of the world of
the poor and tries to change it-either for
everyone through a revolution 88 in
Marat, or just for himself and maybe his
girlfriend in Baim.
reaJly about Mark Hymen and Alexandra
Neil's characters. He's let himself get
trapped into selling drugs, but wants out.
She'll probably wind upahooker(likeNtozake
Shange's character), but isn't at all
sure she belongs there. They should both
flee, but the atmosphere is too seductive. It
is for the audience, too. [tis repulsive and
fascinating. We wind up feeling really at
home there and guilty about letting it all
happen, but not any more than anyone
else.
Steven Marcus is Dopey, the narrator of
sorta. His performance as this drugged-out
philosopher is the best among equals in
this ensemble show, well directed by
George Anderson.
Cockroaches, Dopey explains, have
always been with man. They are found in
the deepest archeological digs. Not only
that, they also have about the best chence
of surviving a nuclear war. So they'll be
here after we're gone.
"The poor," Christ said, uwe have
always with us."
Or, as the song in Marat, Sade puts it,
"Marat, we're poor, and the poor stay
poor!"
Th full title of that play is Th£ Persecu·
tion and Aasassination of Jean Paul
Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the
Aaylum of Charenton Under the Direction
of the Marqul8 de Sade. The title, as they

Nearly everyone in this ensemble is
playing an insane person playing a

there are too many good performances to

brought out the anachronisms in Peter

are enough differences.

Kindred Spirits Celebrates Anniversary
By Connie Woods
Montrose Voice Staff Reporter
Not only is the community celebrating the
traditional St. Valentine's Day today, but
many will be celebrating the fifth anniver·
aary of one of the local clubs.
Club owner Marian Coleman, along
with the family and friends of Kindred
Spirts, has planned a very special evening
to honor the anniversary.
According to Coleman, "People have
been calling me all day •.. to see if they
can do something specia1 for the event,"
she said. The entertainment, so far, may
feature the cloggers, the band, and a
number of other groups who will "drop
by."
Coleman considers her place of business
as a community center "where women and
men can come together-sharing the same
space."

"I was very much involved in the com·
munity. I had never managed a club but I
did own the House of Coleman (a graphics
and printing oompany) here," she said.
"People knew the quality of House of
Coleman and enoouraged me to open a
bar," she added.
According to Coleman she envisioned.
the place to be where "we could educate
our own .•. a support place for people in
need-women and men." She acknowl·
edged the many pe<;ple who helped her get
the club started .
And Kindred Spirits has been a support
place for the community as Coleman
related a very special event at the club. "I
lost a dear friend, Jerry Kauffman," she
began to explain. "We had a goal to have
men and women together in this rommunity."
Kindred Spirits sponsored a fundraiser
for Kauffman and raised more
than $7,000.
"I want Kindred Spirits to make an
impact. After all, if you don't have stars,
what's the use of living,'' Coleman commented
in speaking of her goals for the
club.
One of the accomplishments she ronsiden1
important is the fact that Kindred Spir·
its was able to get a blood bank for
KS! AIDS.
As the club celebrates its anniversary,
Coleman continues to make future plans
for events and activities for the community
center.

New Woody Allen is Emotional Masterpiece
Woody Allen and Mia Farrow in a scene from Allen'• neu: film, "Hannah and
Her Sisters."
By Scott Cutoinger
Montroa~ Voice Film Cr;tic
It'• a great wttk for moviea with a auperb
Woody Allen and two very good films
recently opening
Hannah and Her Sisters is Woody'e
14th effort, and euily his most acceseible
adult comedy. With an all-star caat that
forms a perfect ensemble, Hannah is an
emotional masterpiece that picks apart
our human experiences.
FIX is a taut new thriller featuring the
handsome Australian Bryan Brown of
"Thorn Birds" fame. Highlighted by special
effects and iUusions, the film is a maze
of turnabouts that keep us guessing the
outcome.
Lastly there io Colonel Redl, a military
drama about a man harboring his homoeexuality.
Oscar-nominee Klaus Maria
Brandauer (Out of Africa) ia superb aa the
driven but inaecure officer who must deal
with hi.a sexuality and a crumbling Au&trian
empire in the early 1900'a.
o Hannah and
Her Sisters
Woody Allen isahardmantokeepupwith
artistically. Those who loved his early
movies like Banana.sand Sleeper were put
out by the New York .. in" jokes in Annie
Hall. Interior• threw everyone off with its
Bergmaneeque family, and then came
Manhatten with its cute charm.
Lately, Woody has loot most of his seventies
audience with small efforts like
Zelig, Broadu·ay Danny Rose and Purple
Rose of Cairo. Each had brilliance and
showed 11TOwth by a director who Jikeo to
explore, but none were box office amaahee.
Moviegoen wanted thrills and excitement,
not variation• on Woody'• favorite
them.ea of love, sex. God and death.
actera searching for one thinghappineH.
In past films, when he
explored the meaning of life, Allen often
came to the conclusion that it W88 meaningle88.
Here he seems to say that humor
will come from looking at ourselves. and
there ia hope to look forward to the future.
Hannah seems like a cross between
Manhatten and Interiors, but it's much
more lively and entertaining for general
audiences. The characters are humorous
because we can easily see ourselves in
their dramatic situations. We see that we
make many of our own desperate situations,
but we are also able to undo them.
In fact, the high points of the film came
when all of the principles gather for two
different Thanksgiving dinners. The
interaction of the family members and the
outsiders becomes a social saga that is
hilarious, but still very real. We really care
about these people and their problems,
and we laugh and cry with them as they
solve their difficulties.
I could write pages on this film about the
screenplay, the actors, and the direction,
but this ia a film beyond simple words.
Hannah is a movie masterpiece that will
definitely highlight the films of the 1980s.
Woody is still talking about the same
things, but this time he hits us emotionally
and psychologically right where it
counts.
o FIX
There'• almost nothing like a good
thriller, and FIX is a real dandy. Smart
and furiously effective, this is one of those
rarities that really keep you on the edge of
your seat.
In the movie business, Fl X stands for
the art of special effects. RollieTyleris one
of the best effects men in the industry,
always adding a special look to everything
from cheapie horror flicks to space
age sci-fi adventures. His excellent craft~
manship and execution have also been
observed by government agents, who
decide to offer him a job.
For a tu-free $30,000, Rollie will stage
the fah1e 88SBBsination of a testifying
mobster. This hood will then become part
of the witness relocation program, and
avoid gangland violence. So, the stage is
aet, and Rollie convincingly splatters the
gangster all over a restaurant wall.
Unfortunately, he is not so sure that his
killing was a fake. Someone could have
switched his blanks for the real thing and
he might really be a murderer. Sudd~nly,
he finds that the Justice Department has
turned the tables on him and he is a sus·
pect on the run
explosives, Rollie manages to stay on top
of his aggressors. He is a fascinating char·
acter to watch 88 he uses his entire bag of
tricks to save his own life.
Bryan Brown (Rollie) is a remarkable
actor seen in such films as Breaker Mor·
ant and television's "Thom Birds." A
handsomely rugged man, Brown gives a
totally engrossing performance that keeps
us at attention. He also gives us plenty of
"Richard Gere" shots that show off his
nice body.
Supporting actors also fare well, especially
Brian Dennely (Cocoon) as an hon·
est cop trying to figure out exactly what is
going on. Diane Venora has a lovely but
short-lived role as Rollie's girlfriend, and
Mason Adams ("Lou Grant") is great as a
ruthless government man. Only Martha
Gehman seems ridiculously stupid as Rollie's
special effects helper.
FIX is totally satisfying entertainment
that really keeps you guessing. Just when
you think you have things figured out, it
crosses and double-crosses on you and
leaves you amazed. A roller coaster ride of
stunning special effects coupled with a
clever script makes this a film well worth
experiencing and enjoying
o Colonel Redl
KlauR Maria Brandauer is becoming a
star of major importance. He has been
nominated for a Best Supporting Oscar for
his brilliant part in Out in Africa., His
1981 film Mephisto won Best Foreign
Film, and his neweet feature Colonel Redl
is nominated this year for Best Foreign
Film.
Brandauer ia a commanding Austrian
actor who comee off shrewed and menac-ing
at the same time. He is the perfect
actor to play Red.I, a man who used
betrayal and denial of his low origins to
rise in the military ranks of Austria·
Hungary. A driven man, Redl ia insecure
only about one thing-hie hidden homo·
sexuality,

Rollie Tyler (Bryan Brown) pretenda to shoot Lipton (Cliff De Young) before taking some shots at Rosebud m "FIX."
The etory revolves around three eisters:

will be assassinated (1914) and World War
II will start. Redl is one of the few officers
who remain faithful to his emperor, but
his loyalty and confidence in the Arch·
duke (heir to the throne) may be misplaced.
The Archduke has Hedi spy on his own
men in order to find a man to put on trial
as warning to rebellious troops. Actually,
the Archduke has set up &!di himself as
the patsy, and the Colonel becomes caught
in his own web of homosexuality and
deceit. A young man he becomes involved
with turns out to be an enemy spy, and
Redl is ruined.
This film is based partly on fact, but the
secret life of Alfred &!di was never fully
known. He did commit suicide in 1913,
probably because of being blackmailed for
his sexual preference. Colonel Redl is an
attempt to show how a man can rise to
power, and then slowly lose it through his
own weaknesses.
While the gay aspect of &!di is fairly
overt, it is not dwelled upon. Instead of so
much military and historical background,
it would have been much more interesting
to delve deeper into the personal background
and relationships of Red I. The film
does little to examine the man's love
affairs, and it seems so important.
A rather long film that may bore many
with historical relevance. CoUmel Redl is
nonetheless fascinating with Brandauer's
standout performance. We watch help·
lessly as a man climbs to success, and then
crumbles down with the very notion that
he has supported and defended. Once
more homosexuality is used againstsomf-"
one, and they suffer because of what they
are.

Dr. Didato's Personality Quiz
How Are You at People Reading?
By Salvatore V. Didato, Ph.D.
News America Syndicate
Special to thi' Montrosl' Voice
Once, when he was seeking lodging at a
small hotel, George M. Cohan was refused
by a desk clerk who said, "Sorry, we don't
have a room for people like you."
Taken by surprise, the famed compol'!ier
thought a moment, then retorted: "This is
certainly a bad situation. You thought I
was Jewish and I thoughty.ou wereAmeri·
can. I guess we were both wrong."
We all goof grandly once in a while
when it comes to judging others. Often our
prejudiced perception is colored by a myth
or heresay, and it can lead to complica·
tions in our dealings with them.
If you can size up others in a brief time,
you'll have the edge over thoAe who can't,
and likely will be more successful in
human affairs.
Ahead is a quiz which tests your ability
to "read" pffiple at first meeting. Answer
True or False to each item, then read on for
explanations.
1. Smiling is only one trait among many
which identifies a succe8sful person .
2. A }X'rson who is prejudiced against
one group tends to be prejudiced against
other groups.
a. Short pt>rsons are usually more ener·
getic and aAsertive than those who are
taller.
4. An older person is genera1ly lonelier
than a younger person .
5. The lastborn in a family tends to have
a higher IQ than those born before
him t her
6. A couples' social standing is most
influenced by the partner with the more
prestigious job.
7. Cr('ative persons are usually more
intelligent then those who are not crea·
tive.
8. Beautiful people are usually friendlier
than thos£> who ere less attractive.
o .Explanation
I. False-ReHearchers Wendy McKenna
and Florenre Denmark of the City Univer·
sity of New York found that people in
high-status jobs exhibit less smiling and
nodding than others. Success may not
make peOple frown, but it may make them
realize they don't have to smile a lotto feel
accepted.
2. 'J'rue-Prejudice is similar to a personality
trait such as dominance or submissiveness.
It can "generalize" and color
many ot your attitudes and reactions con·
cerning others.
3. False-Although some short people
tend to overcompensate for their belowaverage
stature, there is no evidence that
they are more energetic, ambitious or
assertive than those who are taller.
4. False-Surveys done at New York
University and the University of California
(Los Angeles) show that even though
more old, rather than young, people Jive
alone, the elderly are more satisfied with
their friendships, feel more independent
and have higher self-esteem. The young,
those who are single, and those recently
divorced, were found to be the loneliest.
5. False-Scores on nearly 400,000 adolescents
in Holland showed that IQ's
decrease from the first to the last born. No
one really knows why this is. Some experts
theorize firstborns benefit from better prenatal
development, or perhaps from hav·
ing their parents to themselves for longer
than their later-born siblings.
6. False-Studies by sociologist Peter
Rossi, Ph.D., find that a man's job counts
twice as much as a woman's in detennin·
ing a couple's s('cial status. Even when the
woman was a doctor and the man a
mechanic, it was the man's position by
which the couple was rated.
7. False-According to research at the
University of California (Los Angeles)
creativity is not a function of intelligence
as measured by IQ tests.
8. True-Work at the University of Georgia
shows that beautiful people are more
sociable, and it's not that their beauty
blinds us. Subjects were asked to rate peo·
pie for sociability and likeability on the
basis of phone conversations. The raters
never saw the people they talked to, yet
they rated the attractive ones higher than
others in social skills.
o Score
7-8 correct-You are a good judge of people
and probably should be working with
them in fac~to-face situations.
3-6 correct-You win some, you lose
some in your daily dealings with others.
There's room for improvement here.
0-2 correct-You're socially myopic.
Obvious clues about others soar over your
head. How about a COUN;e in human rela·
tiona at the local college?

Junk for One Can Be Art for Another
By Connie Woods
Montrose Voice Staff Reporter
Have you been searching for the right pair
of cat-eye glasses? Or do you need that
perfect pillbox hat which even Jackie
Kennedy would envy?
If any of these items could fill your
heart's desire, Bob Novotney of Texas
Junk Company can help you out. The
large warehouse, located at the corner of
Taft and Welch, is filled to the brim with
unique items.
Owner Novotney, a native of Wisconsin,
came to Houston in 1968 to visit a friend.
He stayed. After having worked for an
interior decorator for a while, he started a
garage sale business called the "Church
Sale" as it was located in an old church on
Westheimer.
A holdover from the hippie days, Novotney
said he was "trained in nothing,"
although he was reared in a family of
mechanics. He did and still does enjoy traveling.
During his travels he worked wher·
ever he could find work including Alaska.
Novotney has been at his present location
for seven years. He recalls a few really
unusual items he has fallen into: stuffed
ducks painted gold and silver; a collection
of bones painted to look like a ceiling fan;
and even a stuffed longhorn head with one
eye m188ing.
However, all of the merchandise in the
store is not as unusual as these. Pointing
to several animal skulls hanging on the
wall, Novotney said he prefers skulls to
stuffed heads because the stuffed ones
"look too real."
He has accumulated an array of period
clothing including old band uniforms and
Bob Nouotney
slinky dresses representing several
decades, not to mention the slacks, slcirta,
blouses that even Bette Davis would covet.
"I bought the band uniforms from a
Houston Independent School District auction
several years ago," he said. Some of
the uni forms were shipped to New York for
use by theaters.
He also pointed out that local theaters
as well as movie production companies
have purchased items for use as props or
production wardrobes.
HSomeone came through (Houston)
from Paris and bought some old license
plates for an American-theme restaurant
in Paris," he explained.
Although Novotney likes "things dealing
with history" he never researches any
of the items he receives. He said he simply
does not care to bother with the research or
"market value" of an item except for what
it is worth to him and the customer.
He said that many of the people who
patronize his store are artists. "People
who come in here must be creative," he
said while speaking of some of the items
customers have bought.
"I had gotten a number of test tubes
during a sale. I figured someone would
eventually want them. An artist came in
and bought all the test tubes-who knows
what he'll do with them!" he exclaimed.
He pointed out that much of his merchandise
comes from cleaning out peoples'
garages or storerooms. That could cer·
ta.inly account for the number of nails,
screws, nuts and bolts he has accumulated
through the years.
He pointed out that most of the merchandise
he sells is sold "as is." He does
not have the clothes cleaned nor doee he
''fix" any of the items. Hedidrelateastory
about a buyer- from Sao Francisco who
purchased eome of the clothing from him
and how good they looked in the "fancy"
California store.
Novotney is careful about some items in
his shop including reoordo and books. He
checks the records for scratches and if
they are scratched he discards them. The
primary books he offers are first editions
and classics-no dime store romance novels.
Novotney quickly pointed out that he
does not buy stereos, cameras or bicycles
because those types of items could be
"hot." He said that he will not buy any
items that could be stolen including tools.
And what about the man behind all this
junk? "I like being my own boss. I only
have to answer to Uncle Sam and the
governments," he explained ... I like the
junk. It's a means for me to make a living.
And for artilito it's something they need,
want or can make something out of."
Although Novotney enjoys traveling at
least a month during the year, he spends
most of his time at his place of busine88'.
He lives in an apartment above the store.
His store is not just a place of business
"it's a place to socialize," he said. "My
friends stop by on their way to work or
after work just to talk."
Novotney is, no doubt, proud of his business
and the "junk" that artists and other
customers seek. "People just keep dropping
by," he said.
But if you do go shopping for that unique,
unusual or period item, don't look for
a sign on the building as there is none.
Just watdl for a storefront lined with
mannequins, bathtubs, a fonnica and
chrome table or even a barrel heater.
While standing near the front door, Nov
otney reached his hand in a plastic bag
filled with numbers wrapped in C<!ll<>phane.
Holding the pieces in his hand he
said. "I don't know what someone would
do with these numbers, but I am sure some
artist will find a use for them-maybe a
number collage."
