Superhero stops by Nebraska
to play saxophone at Zoo Bar
By William Harms
Staff Reporter
While the world searches for Su
perman, another superhero has come
to Lincoln, played at the Zoo Bar (he
also trashes the Zoo Bar), and most
people probably didn’t even know he
was here.
The hero’s name is Shadowman,
and although he didn’t come to Lin
coln in reality, Shadowman did visit
Lincoln in his monthly comic book,
published by ValiantComics. In issue
No. 15 of the comic book,
Shadowman, who is really Jack
Boniface, a saxophone player, comes
to Nebraska to play at the Zoo Bar.
On his way to Nebraska,
Shadowman picks up a mysterious
hitchhiker named R.L, R.L. looks like
somebody out of “Alice in Wonder
land” and has the unique ability of
bringing memories to life. All he has
to do is touch you, and, as long as he
is touching you, he can bring to life
your most powerful memory. This
ability gets R.L. into a liulc trouble
while Jack is playing his gig.
During the gig, R.L. decides to
have some fun and begins to wreak
havoc with the crowd, which quickly
gets a little out of hand. As a result,
R.L. gets the distinct honor being
thrown through the front window of
the Zoo Bar. The police arrive, and
pursue Shadowman and R.L. through
Lincoln. Leaving Lincoln behind,
Shadowman and R.L. go to Alliance
and visit the notorious Carhcngc,
where Shadowman is forced to con
front Wild Bill Hickock, as well as a
twisted version of himself. While
Shadowman battles his dopplcgangcr,
in the hopes that he will learn some
thing about himself, the police arrive
and Shadowman is forced to flee,
vowing never to return to Nebraska.
Shadowman’s visit to Lincoln is
part of a three-part story that began
with Shadowman visiting Alabama.
After leaving Nebraska, Shadowman
will head to New York, where he will
havchis motorcycle stolen. After that,
Shadowman will return to his home in
New Orleans.
Although Shadowman vows never
-Courtesy of Valiant Comtes
to return to Nebraska, that would be a
little hard for Bob Hall, current writer
and artist of Shadowman: he is a
resident of Lincoln.
Hall has been the writer of
“Shadowman" since issue No. 7, and
has drawn the book since issue No. 10.
Hall started out drawing for Marvel,
and, thanks to his artwork, Lincoln
has appeared in other comics, most
notably “The Avengers.” Hall is also
the director of the Summer Rep The
atre for UNL.
In case you are angry about your
favorite blues bar being trashed, Bob
Hall will make a public appearance
this Saturday to accept responsibility
for Shadowman’s actions. Hall will
be appearing at the Edgcwood Plaza
Cosmic Comics (56th Street and High
way 2) on Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m.
Although he will not pay for the win
dow broken by R.L., nor pay for any
internal damage the Zoo Bar suffered,
he will sign copies of “Sfiadowman”
and his other comic book work.
And remember, the next lime there
is a jazz musician from New Orleans
playing at the Zoo Bar, you might
want to take a rain check.

UNL production traces
unemployed actor’s life
thea'jc,

‘Eat Your Heart Out’
Ever since Shakespeare, plays
have been written about actors.
“Eat Your Heart Out,” which
opens Thursday at 7 p.m. in Studio
Theater in the Temple building,
follows this tradition.
“Eat," a comedy by Nick Hall,
depicts a com mon actor ’ s d ilemma.
It traces the encounters of Charlie,
an out-of-work actor who is wail
ing tables in a variety of Manhattan
restaurants. Charlie is played by
UNL student Monty Stoakes.
Director Patrick Lambrochi said
he picked the play because it fo
cuses on what many of his col
leagues in the theater department
are currently going through.
“It’s kind of a message to them
not to give up,” he said.
The play shows Charlie discov
ering his goals, and despite many
obstacles m his way, struggling on
until he meets them. This is pre
sented using one unchanging set,
which is transformed through the
use of tablecloths into various res
taurant settings.
Four other actors play a variety
of roles, both comical and sad. The
livesof these characters eventually
become interconnected with
Charlie’s life. He talks to both them
and the audience about discovcring
their dreams and sticking with them.
Lambrccht said the use of light
humor allows the audience mem
bers to relate the events of the play :
to their own lives. “Eal”alsoexhib
its “the perseverance of the human
spirit,” he said, and shows how all
people must make choices.
“Without those choices we just
sit and spin our wheels,” he said.

Classical music’s masters
furnish feast for listeners
By George K. Stephan
Staff Reporter _
A near-capacily audience was
treated to a rare, musical spectacle at
the Lied Center for Performing Arts
as some of the greatest living string
players performed an absorbing con
cert last night.
Theever-popular cellist Yo-Yo Ma,
virtuoso violinist Cho-Liang Lin, and
the incredible Isaac Stem played a
demanding program that engaged on
lookers with superb performances.
The concert featured three string
quintets of the standard repertoire, all
of which stretched the capabilities of
all the musicians involved.
Violaists Michael Tree and Jaime
Laredo, and louring cciloist Sharon
Robinson, were featured as well.
The first work to be performed, the
E Major Quintets by Boccherini with
its famous minuet, showed the intri
cate interpreting skills of the players
throughout the del icatc classical work.
The lively Brahms Quintet No. 2 in
G Major asked far more of the techni
cal abilities of the performers, but
nevertheless, the musical interpreta
tion of thiscmoiional work was just as
complete as in the first work.
The vigorous Vivace finale of the
Brahms piece clearly demonstrated
the level of musicians the audience
was witnessing.
The last work, theC MajorQuintet
by Schubert, was a delight. It was both
a beautifully demonstrated technical
performance and an innovative inter
pretation of the work’s haunting,
melancholic melodics that engaged
the audience until the end.
To watch a concert like this is such
a remarkable experience. These ex
tremely talented string players arc
beyond the abilities of the everyday
musician.
There is so much to hear in a
concert like this. The pure, rich sound
of the strings is so different from
hearing even the most capable play
ers.
Isaac Stem alone would have been
a feast for the cars, but combining his
talent with the classical-music world’s
most capable performers was exhaust
ing to listen to.
The most surprising thing for the
audience might have been Stem’s
manner before and after performing.
After providing such musical mar
vels in playing, Stem simply raised
himself up in an ordinary manner,
accepted the applause of the audience
and walked off as if nothing had really
happened.
Well, some of us didn’t leave un
changed.
