Morning Mirror is a publication run for the benefit of Bulawayo's only geriatric and frail care home - the Edith Duly Nursing home ++++ EDITORIAL Following The Mother of Nations! It's quite a task to keep up with Iris Mhlanga, she is a tall statuesque woman, but she moves with the gait of a feather when the needs of the Community are involved. Today a call to assist a family whose house has burnt down, tomorrow a message to garner help for ten children and their grandmother, sheltering together in an abandoned outhouse in the middle of an overgrown field....there is so much need but Iris is unflappable!! Calls are fielded daily and no one is turned away. Her evening blog instantly solves her immediate crises as well wishers come forth with food, clothing and assistance. And then there is her usual work week, including numerous soup kitchens throughout Bulawayo, requiring mountains of produce to feed hundreds of needy children. Today we visited the Mustard Seed Community Orphanage in Woodville, where there are over 30 children from tiny abandoned babies, to wee orphans, and dozens of children with special needs. Mustard Seed Communities worldwide work quietly and steadfastly 'caring for the most vulnerable'. The home in Woodville, Bulawayo is incredible, trying hard to become self sustainable with produce. In the complex are four lovely homes where warm family units are provided for the children under its shelter. They also have a training facility for both male and female aspirant nuns and priests plus a beautiful Rosary Garden and a Grotto which reflects perfectly the peace and tranquility of the institution. The daily feeding scheme was underway, 130 children have been identified in this area alone. Masks are obligatory, sanitation paramount, registration is necessary, but often these generous hearted ladies will turn a blind eye to those in genuine need, even if unregistered. Neat lines of tiny folk queue patiently for their daily meal which today is a delicious meat, pap, beans and vegetables stew, plus a pint of nutritious mahewu, a healthy millet drink.

THURSDAY 21 OCTOBER AT 6.00 P.M. JAILHOUSE ROCK An evening of nostalgia with a film first released as long ago as 1957! A young man, Vince Everett (Elvis Presley), is convicted of manslaughter after being drawn into a bar fight while trying to defend a woman. In prison, Everett finds salvation when his cellmate, a country singer named Hunk Houghton, hears him sing and pegs him as a future star. Once released, Everett gets a job in a night club and meets Peggy Van Alden, a young woman who works for a record company and who, like Houghton, also sees talent in Everett. - Even if the plot is thin, the characterizations are solid, and the music is some of Elvis's best. [Movie Metropolis] - Presley's best film captures the legend in all his nostril-flaring, pre-army glory. [Maltin's Movie Guide] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 22 OCTOBER AT 6.00 P.M. TOWARD THE UNKNOWN REGION Sir Malcolm Arnold was born a hundred years ago on 21 October 1921. 'Toward the Unknown Region: Malcolm Arnold - a Story of Survival' is a documentary celebrating one of Britain's most underestimated and yet most popular composers, who wrote scores to altogether 132 films including 'Whistle Down the Wind', 'Hobson's Choice' and the Oscar-winning 'Bridge Over the River Kwai'. He also composed nine, symphonies, more than twenty concertos, seven ballets, operas and much else, over 500 works in all. The film features interviews with family and friends including Richard Attenborough, John Amis, Susanna Walton and Hayley Mills and there are many extracts from his works. Nor does the film shirk the darker side of Arnold's life full of complications caused by heavy drinking and mental illness. - Tony Palmer has created a film that I have no doubt will attain legendary status not only amongst Arnold fans but in the wider musical world also. You simply cannot afford to miss it. [MusicWeb International] - The film captures the brilliance, joy, sadness and bitterness of his life and the extraordinary range of his work very well. [Amazon] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Red Carpet members] THURSDAY 28 OCTOBER AT 6.00 P.M. ENTRAPMENT Insurance investigator Virginia - Gin - Baker (Catherine Zeta-Jones), looking into a stolen Rembrandt painting, suspects that accomplished thief Robert - Mac - MacDougal (Sean Connery) is responsible. She decides to go undercover and help Mac steal an ancient artefact. When a suspicious Mac confronts Gin about her real intentions, she claims that she is, in fact, a thief and that the insurance job is a cover. To prove it, she proposes a new target that could net them $8 billion. - Connery and Zeta-Jones not only look great together, they work well together, too. [New York Magazine] - Catherine Zeta Jones and Sean Connery in a brilliantly scripted action-packed novel adventure - blimey, what more could one ask ... [Amazon] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 29 OCTOBER AT 6.00 P.M. WEBER: HUNTER'S BRIDE Hunter's Bride is a film opera based on the romantic opera Der Freischutz by Carl Maria von Weber which was first performed two hundred years ago on 18 June 1821 - the lockdown deprived us of the exact date! The title Hunter's Bride was Weber's first choice but the opera promoter decided that the almost untranslatable Freischutz would have more box-office appeal and indicate the supernatural elements in the story - a 'freeshooter' in German folklore is a marksman who, by a contract with the devil, has obtained a certain number of bullets destined to hit their target. Max and Kaspar, both soldiers in the army of Saxony, are camped near the estate of the forest master Kuno, whose daughter Agathe is the object of both men's love. In order to win Agathe, Max is prepared to use magic and encounters evil forces which nearly destroy him. The film was shot in the Dresden area and is notable for the romantic beauty of settings from the bucolic Saxon countryside to the frighteningly bleak Wolf's Glen scene. - This is quite simply one of the best modern visual representations of any opera that has come my way for some considerable time. One of the Recordings of the Year. [MusicWeb International] - Opera is old-fashioned No way! Hunter's Bride proves that the opera content qualifies for the cinematic interpretation on the big screen. The experiment of 'opera for the cinema 'does not often happen to be this good.
