Houston Grand Opera soprano to sing with LC choir
Houston Grand Opera soprano Susannah Moorman will join Lee College Concert Choir for a free 7 30 p m concert in Rundell Mall Auditorium. She will perform selected choruses by Mozart Brahms Donizetti Faure Rodrigo and Bernstein with pianist Carol Anderson. LC director Lynn Lamkin notes Moorman’s return after last December’s St Mark’s performance. Moorman holds degrees from Millsaps and SMU and has appeared in The Mikado Madame Butterfly Carousel Faust.

Toy Soldiers film review sinks with dull action
A negative appraisal of Toy Soldiers criticizes the film as dull and error ridden. It notes a weak plot involving a drug lord's son kidnapping the judge's child and a chaotic hostage subplot. The reviewer praises only Denholm Elliott and Jim Gossett Jr. but calls the editing camera work and pacing poor. The piece advises waiting for video release.
