Morning Mirror is a publication run for the benefit of Bulawayo's only geriatric and frail care home - the Edith Duly Nursing home 1) Editorial The Hunger Games Boomers!! Do you remember those teenage days when we had hunger The Aching, The craving, The Hunger to hear a particular song from the hit parade Ha! you thought I was going to launch into something deep and meaningful didn't you But when we were teenagers trust me it was deep and meaningful to be able to hear that number one song at the top of the hit parade!! Nowadays there is no such longing needed. One hops onto the internet and downloads the latest desired modern style 'seven single' - the cut, the rapsong, the medley, and now its not only the audio song, you get the visuals as well in the video!! We used to have to wait a week to hear a particular top ten song, until the next Hit Parade on Saturday morning!! If we were extremely lucky we might have enough pocket money to persuade Mom to take us down to Spin-a-long to buy a seven single of the treasured song, but that was pretty unlikely!! After all, we were the Baby Boomers - babies born after World War 2 when money was tight!! Not to be wasted on music!! We had in our house, I remember them well, an album of L.P.s of 'Annie Get Your Gun',. an L.P. of 'Oklahoma' and one seven single 'Oh Mein Papa' and that was it!! I can sing them all word perfect to this day as thats all we had apart from the radio! Our majestic radio was made of beautiful inlaid wood, a family heirloom, and was the size of a kitchen hob!! Turntable on the left, radio on the right with numerous dials, and underneath were the copious shelves for the three records!! Saturday mornings were sacrosanct when at 10. 30 I think, were the Lyons Maid Hits of the week! Oh Martin Locke, aka Cocky Locky, Oh Mike Westcott, Oh Ralph Glover, you were our heroes. Goodness me in the sixties, how we swooned over music by the Beatles, Cliff Richard, Petula Clark, The Seekers, the Byrds and the Hollies. Remember Four Jacks and a Jill One of their hits was 'Master Jack', adored by every single teenager in our glorious, tiny, innocent world!! Quite sad that the modern teenager expects instant gratification in all spheres, and they might never experience that glorious feeling of anticipation and 'Longing'. ++++ WATCHDOG NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT THE 52ND ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE GARDEN PARK TRUST WILL BE HELD ON WEDNESDAY 29TH MARCH 2023 IN THE GARDEN PARK COMMUNITY CENTRE AT 2.30PM. ++++ Members and Non Members please note: SPCA AGM 21st MARCH 2023 AT 4.PM BYO GOLF COURSE.

THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK The film centres on the aging four musketeers, Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and D'Artagnan, during the reign of King Louis XIV. Athos (John Malkovich) swears vengeance after despotic King Louis XIV (Leonardo DiCaprio) causes the death of his son. Summoning his old comrades Porthos (Gerard Depardieu) and Aramis (Jeremy Irons), he hatches a plan to liberate a shackled prisoner rumoured to be the king's twin brother, and then install him on the throne. But the three musketeers must also contend with their old friend D'Artagnan (Gabriel Byrne), who has remained in the king's service. Despite receiving a rather mixed critical response, the film was successful, benefiting greatly from Leonardo DiCaprio's post-Titanic popularity, and the film has an 82% five-star rating on Amazon! - It's both an enjoyable story and a visual wonder. See it at least twice! [IMDb] - I love this movie. I never understand why it doesn't receive the wonderful reviews it deserves. The actors are stellar, the storyline is great, and the script is fun, funny, sad, angering, and exciting, and envelops you in a period piece without being overdone. What else do you want [Rotten Tomatoes] - There's just too much great stuff here for this version of the Dumas story to be summarily dismissed, and I for one am happy to keep shouting its praises 20 years after its original release. [MovieFreak] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 17 MARCH AT 6.30 P.M. A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM In 1961, George Balanchine realised his own dream by choreographing a full-length production of A Midsummer Night's Dream to music by Mendelssohn -his well-known music to the other play and other works. As Balanchine himself put it, 'The story of the ballet, of course, concerns the adventures and misadventure of a group of mortals and immortals in their resolutions of the confusions and problems of loving and being loved. It is called a 'dream' because of the unrealistic happenings that occur to the characters, real yet unreal events such as crossed loves, meaningless quarrels, forest chases and magic spells woven by the infamous Puck. I think it's possible to see and enjoy the ballet without knowing the play. At least that was my hope in creating the piece. - Excellent performance of a Balanchine masterpiece. Alessandra Ferri is a pleasure to watch as Titania. [Dancing Times] - A truly satisfying evening at the ballet and, to misquote Puck, these shadows did not offend, and we gave them our hands with much pleasure. [Gramilano] - Everything about this production was simply stunning! Truly some of the most beautiful costumes I have ever seen!! [Letterboxd] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Red Carpet Members] THURSDAY 23 MARCH AT 6.30 P.M. EASY VIRTUE Sir Noel Coward died fifty years ago on 26 March 1973 and Easy Virtue is based on the play written when he was only 25. It's a social comedy in which a glamorous American divorcee, Larita (Jessica Biel), meets and impetuously marries a young Englishman, John Whittaker (Ben Barnes), at the Monaco Grand Prix. When they return to England, his mother (Kristin Scott Thomas) takes an immediate and strong dislike to her daughter-in-law, while his father (Colin Firth) finds a kindred spirit and Family tensions escalate as she and her daughters make it their mission to drive her away from the family fold. - A fine cast makes sure Noel Coward's champagne remains bubbly in Easy Virtue, an effervescent entertainment. [Variety] - Echoing the words of the great Porter song, Easy Virtue deliciously misbehaves. [Seattle Times] - A sparkling, classy and ultimately satisfying experience. [Observer] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 24 MARCH NB GIRLS' COLLEGE INTER-HOUSE SINGING COMPETITION The Noel Coward Trilogy originally scheduled for 24 March will be shown at a later date THEREAFTER - Thursday 30 March at 6.30 p.m. Sharpe's Rifles - Friday 31 March at 6.30 p.m. Music by Rachmaninov [Sergei Rachmaninov was born on 1 April 1873] - Saturday 1 April at 10.00 a.m. Student Concert - Wednesday 5 April at 6.30 p.m. Handel: Messiah [King's College] - Thursday 6 April at 6.30 p.m. The Iron Lady [Margaret Thatcher died ten years ago on 8 April 2013] Supper will be available before DVD showings but orders for evening meals must be placed in advance.
