Saturday, February 16, 2019 by DONALD R. SERFASS in Focus
They say still waters run deep.
John G. Scott was a prime example of that adage.
Those who remember Tamaqua’s most famous commercial-art illustrator say he was a quiet, humble man who touched hearts, not through bravado, but quiet brush strokes.
Descendants of Scott from Oregon, California, Delaware and other states gathered Nov. 11, 2018, to unveil an extensive collection of Scott’s creativity, the inaugural exhibit at the newly-opened Tamaqua Historical Society Museum...

Saturday, February 16, 2019 by CAROLE GORNEY in Focus
Civic Theatre of Allentown’s production of “Noises Off,” through Feb. 24 at the 19th Street Theatre, Allentown, is a madcap romp through the clichés of farcical comedy and slapstick, with some very inventive twists.

No chance to get bored, though. The audience views each Act One from a different perspective: onstage rehearsal, backstage...
Movie Review: Not a ‘Favourite’
Saturday, February 16, 2019 by PAUL WILLISTEIN in Focus
“The Favourite” has extensive use of the fisheye camera lens.
A fisheye lens is a wide-angle lens that achieves visual distortion. The resulting image is that of a panoramic or hemispherical view.
In “The Favourite,” rooms, columns, and even people often appear curved. The fisheye lens is not used in every scene. Extreme closeups are also used to great effect, such as for Emma Stone’s captivating eyes.
The fisheye image, which became popular in the 1960s (“Easy Rider,”...
