Show iT Utah County's fT v On Entertainment Spotlight - Wednesday, October 3, 1984 - Page 1 V tSSISmMMmiS -- r' "Joseph" provides food for thought S. Bryce Chamberlain portrays "Joseph ThTTr Seer." ' 6MaH by MARCELLA WALKER As the strains of the last verse of "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief" fade away and the words "of me thou hast not been ashamed" ring in the ears the audience sits in silence. There is total quiet. Should one clap or should one just sit and con-template what they have just seen and heard? Finally, the audience did clap but it was almost hesitant as if they were afraid of breaking the spirit that prevailed. They had just wit nessed the one-ma- n show by S. Bryce Chamberlain of "Joseph, The Man-Th- e Seer". Bryce begins the show in a rather off-han- d way by coming out and talking to the audience for a few moments. He joked a little and then gradually began talking about the Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith. He told a few incidents, remarked on the description of the Prophet and then began putting on his makeup, arranging his hair, dressing to look like the Prophet Joseph. All the while he continued to talk about Joseph. When he finished all of this he looked remarkably like the pictures one has seen of the Prophet. Mr. Chamberlain takes a few instances, some well known and others that he had found through his research concerning the life, the thoughts and the agonies of this man who was loved my many and cursed by others. He noted in the performance that he believed that the reason Joseph Smith wore his hair combed forward at the temples was to cover some terrible scars he received at the time he was tarred and feathered by a mob. Bryce spoke in the first person through the major portion of the performance, as if it were really Joseph relating some of the ex-periences, some of the thoughts that he had during the years just prior to his death. Some moments captured were humorous, others were explanatory and some were heartrending, especially moments recounted of his feelings while incarcerated in the Richmond and Liberty Jails. The quiet moments inside the Prophet when perhaps he felt that no one, not even his wife, Emma, really un-derstood, were implied. This show is intent in spots and because of this children may not enjoy it as much as adults. The monologue sometimes becomes a bit involved, emotional, and perhaps is difficult for children to really comprehend. For those, however, who have studied the life of Joseph Smith, or those who have wanted to know more about him, this is a good opportunity to receive more insight into his character. The beginning and the ending of the performance are very different but each in its way makes the ex-perience a meaningful one. "Joseph, The Man-Th- e Seer," will be seen Friday and Saturday nights, Oct. 5 and 6. The performance on Friday will begin at 8 p.m. but the one on Saturday will be delayed until after 8 p.m. for those who wish to attend the Priesthood Session of General LDS Conference first. Showtime available Showtime, the nation's second largest national pay television service will be available to residents of American Fork, Lehi, Alpine and Pleasant Grove on Acton Cable Television soon. In conjunction with the in-troduction of the cable movie channel, a free three-da- y preview has been scheduled for local cable subscribers for Oct. "Showtime has long been recognized as one of the most original entertainment services in cable television because of its mixture of recently released motion pictures and made-for-pa- y television programs," said Doug Johnson, system manager. An added plus of the system is a recent contract between Showtime and Paramount Pictures which provides the Paramount movies exclusively to the cable channel. Current movies affected by this agreement include "Terms of En-dearment," "Flashdance," and "Trading Places." The commercial-fre- e program-ming is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition to movies, the channel features an assortment of original program-ming, including Shelley Duvall's "Faerie Tale Theatre," a series which brings to life classic children's stories. In October, for example, Mick Jagger portrays the king in the Joan Micklin Silver story of "The Nightingale." The service is also continuing presentatiorLoL'Xhe Pappr Chasp-Th- e Second Year," starring John Houseman as Professor Kingsfield, James.Stephens and James T. Hart, Tom Fitzsimmons and Franklin Ford and James Keane as Willis Bell. The series was picked up by Showtime after it was cancelled on network television. Original .comedy, drama and music presentation are also included in the service's programming. Individuals interested in receiving the service in their homes can call Acton at 225-814- Payne to perform Alpine resident Marvin Payne will be performing at Klondike Jack's Pizza each Tuesday night beginning Oct. 9, according to restaurant owner Mark Vreeland.

Chef Jame's restaurant in American Fork is much needed. The dining is striving for elegance, Linen and crystal decorate every table. The atmosphere is quiet and refined. Chef James is cordial and good at what he cooks. I liked my dinner there, from the crisp salad to the buttered baked potatoe. And my companions liked their chicken and crab - those that like chicken and crab, But a couple of suggestions; the seating space is a bit cramped and Chef James is a bit of a Mother Hen. The prices are probably a bit high for clientele who will want to save money and eat in town. For $18 a plate, a lot of couples will journey on. I live for Prime Rib cooked to perfection and Chef James can do that. But for the more adventurous palate, a diet of steak, lobster and chicken could be a little restrictive. Go for it, Chef James. Expand your menu and your dining area and stand back for the crowds to come for dinner. Because for a delicious meal, this is a good place to find it. Chef James is located at 25 West Main, American Fork (next to Read's Jewelry). Open daily for breakfast and lunch from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Chef James is now open for dinner on Thursday, Friday and Saturday only from 6 to 9 p.m. Reservations are suggested. 756-916- 6. Prices range from $10.95 for prime rib to $17.95 for crab legs.
