'Stephanie' tracks aftermath of murder

By Laura K. Tepper | April 13, 1999

In 1996, a year and half after her daughter's body was found under a workbench in her brother's basement, Gloria Davis approached filmmaker Bess O'Brien. "You don't know me," Davis said, "but I've seen 'Journey into Courage' (a documentary O'Brien made about domestic violence) and I want you to make a movie about my daughter." Intrigued by Gloria and moved by her story, O'Brien agreed, and spent the next year obtaining footage of Gloria and her remaining daughter, April, for what would become the documentary "Where is Stephanie?" "I became really close to (Gloria and April) over the course of filming," O'Brien said.

Boys of the Lough bring Celtic sounds to Lebanon

By Heather Kofke-Egger | March 3, 1999

Boys of the Lough, a world-renowned traditional Celtic band, will perform tonight at the Lebanon Opera House. With over three decades of experience, Boys of the Lough know Celtic music, and bring the traditional music of Ireland and Scotland to audiences all over the world. The Boys shun vocalists and electric instruments, which they feel would be inappropriate for the traditional music they play. Instead, they rely on a range of acoustic instruments played traditionally to capture the true spirit of the music they write and perform.

Prince and the NPG release so-so '1999' remix EP

By Gene Park | March 1, 1999

It appears as though artists these days are more inclined to actually wrest away creative and financial control of their music from the "evil" record labels, especially when they are as well-known as the Artist Formerly Known as Prince. The release of "1999: The New Masters" (NPG Records), brings back memories of the album that fully broke Prince Rogers Nelson into the mainstream.

Gene Siskel always relied on common sense in his reviews

By Erik Tanouye | February 22, 1999

Roger Ebert was always my favorite of the two. He was more dependable, more consistent and often more intellectual. And yet, without Gene Siskel, I probably would have considered Ebert snotty and annoying, too concerned with the theory and craft of films, not at all in-tune with actual movie audiences. Siskel was the human element in the duo's chemistry.
