Chauffeur Show
Driving Miss Daisy, at the Playcrafters Barn Theatre through May 17
rior to Friday
night, my only
experience with
Driving Miss Daisy was
with the remarkable
film version starring
the incomparable
Jessica Tandy and
Morgan Freeman.
Although its tenderness sticks with me,
for some reason I dont
recall Alfred Uhrys
script being terribly
funny. And with the
Playcrafters Barn Theatres production of
this material, Im now
wondering why I dont
remember the humor,
considering how loud
and often I laughed
during director Donna
Weeks presentation.
Uhrys tale finds the elderly Daisy
Werthan (Rae Mary) coping with her
inability to drive and being forced to
be chauffeured by Hoke Colburn (Fred
Harris Jr.) at the behest and expense of
her son Boolie (Jason Dlouhy), and its
filled with funny moments, particularly
Daisys curmudgeonly comments and
Hokes no-nonsense, though politely
delivered, retorts. Meanwhile, their
relationship, which blossoms from Daisys
stubborn reluctance to accept Hoke his
presence being a symbol of her lack of
independence into a platonic intimacy
that pulls at the heartstrings, is the thrust
of the story. Or rather, it should be.
My one issue with Playcrafters
production is that the friendship between
Daisy and Hoke doesnt blossom so
much as abruptly change. It is with great
respect and admiration that I say that
this is among the finest performances, if
not the finest, Ive seen Mary deliver on
a local stage. Shes every bit as sincere,
stubborn, and comedic as the script
requires. However, her downfall, and its
a significant one, is Marys and Weeks
decision to have Daisy fully accept Hoke
otherwise mirthful
production.
Harris delivers yet
another in a long
line of fantastic
performances,
effortlessly pulling
every bit of humor
he can from Hokes
lines by delivering
them with a sarcasm
thats absent of
negativity. (When
tells Daisy, I had
the air-conditioning
checked. I dont
know what for.
You never allow
me to turn it on,
its said matter-offactly with a tinge
of amusement, not
rudeness.) Dlouhy
also delivers another
pleasing performance. After enjoying
his turn in Playcrafters Second Samuel
last year, I was thrilled to see him among
this productions cast, and he doesnt
disappoint, playing Boolie with subtle
humor and a rather gentle exasperation
with his mother.
Race relations are also important
in Uhrys story, as Daisy is Jewish and
Hoke is black neither of which are
positives in the late 1940s, in Atlanta,
when the play begins. Weeks doesnt
push the authors points, however, which
is somewhat appreciated, given that she
avoids preachiness while also not ignoring
the scripts subtext; although there are
emotional shortcomings, the presentations
humor helps make them forgivable.
Playcrafters Driving Miss Daisy didnt
move me to tears, but it did come close to
eliciting the kind that come from hearty
laughter.
Driving Miss Daisy runs at the Playcrafters
Barn Theatre (4950 35th Avenue, Moline)
through May 17, and more information and
tickets are available by calling (309)7620330 or visiting Playcrafters.com.

How Jury Trials Could Have Softened the Blow of the Financial Crisis
example, Stephen B. Burbank and Stephen
N. Subrin, in an article titled Litigation &
Democracy: Restoring a Realistic Prospect
of Trial, criticize the new plausibility
standard not only because it is not
consistent with the Seventh Amendment,
but also because the Supreme Court
changed the motion to dismiss procedure
by judicially interpreting the rule.
By claiming to merely interpret the
meaning of Federal Rule of Procedure 12(b)
(6) which, if true, would have violated
the principle of stare decisis the Supreme
Court bypassed the rule-making process. By
doing so, a majority of the court bypassed
any notice and comment to the bar with
regard to this change in procedure. More
importantly, the court deprived Congress
of the opportunity to review and, if
necessary, to block any prospective policy
choices before the rule became effective.
Iqbal/Twombley announces to the bar, as
well as Congress, that this Supreme Court
will not be deterred by those constitutional
checks our framers intended to deter abuses
by the judicial department. This disdain by
the court has been felt most acutely today
by the poor and the middle and uppermiddle classes, which do not have the
resources to litigate or resist litigation.
In 2011, the Federal Judicial Center
commissioned a report (RCReader.com/y/
stafne1) to determine the effect of Iqbal/
Twombley on dismissals. With regard to
borrowers and homeowners, the effects
of these decisions appeared devastating.
More than 91 percent of complaints dealing
with financial instruments were dismissed
based on the plausibility standard.
Significantly, this percentage includes only
those complaints filed by lawyers. If pro
se complaints are factored in (and there
would have been a lot of them), federal
judges likely would have dismissed close
to 100 percent of borrowers/homeowners
complaints against the lending industry
based on Iqbals plausibility standard.
Such a high dismissal rate seems
implausible itself given the plethora of
studies and settlements, which substantiate
that most county land filings are wrong and,
in many cases, illegal. (See, for example,
Foreclosure in California: A Crisis in
Compliance at RCReader.com/y/stafne2.)
It is difficult for most of us (lawyer and
layperson alike) to understand why the
rest of the world knows of lender/servicer
illegal misconduct (by way of congressional
investigations, case settlements, and
anecdotal reports) while federal judges still
do not believe complaints by borrowers
and homeowners alleging this same
documented conduct are plausible.
Those few cases that have been tried
detriment of society.
The Constitution contemplated that
jurors might make mistakes, and that such
mistakes would accrue to the common
good. This, of course, would have been
the case if the devastation of American
communities had been avoided by judges
following the Constitution and allowing
citizens their right to a trial before a jury of
their peers in civil cases.

longest accurate shot, having hit a target 230
yards away. What makes his accomplishment
so extraordinary is the fact that he was born
without any arms. He holds each arrow in his
mouth and grasps the bow with his right foot
and the help of a chest harness. In the spirit
of this armless archer, and in accordance with
your current astrological omens, I invite you to
initiate an attempt to triumph over one of your
so-called disadvantages.
CAPRICORN (December
22-January 19): Long before Lou
Reed recorded the song Walk on the
Wild Side, Nelson Algren wrote a novel titled
A Walk on the Wild Side. It depicts the luxuriant
depravity of New Orleans French Quarter in
the 1930s. One of Algrens most enduring bits
of spiritual advice goes as follows: Never, ever,
no matter what else you do in your whole life,
never sleep with anyone whose troubles are
worse than your own. What do you think of
that, Capricorn? Even if you dont regard it as a
universal rule that you should unfailingly obey,
I suggest you observe it in the coming weeks.
For the sake of your mental hygiene, be extra
discerning about what influences you absorb
not just in bed, but everywhere.
AQUARIUS (January 20-February
18): The cosmos has authorized
you to be hungrier than usual. You may also feel
free to respond to your enhanced hunger with
an extra aggressive quest to be fed. Therefore:
Be voracious! Risk being avid, ardent, and even
agog. Fill yourself up with pudding, pleasure,
praise, peace, perks, and privileges. Anything
else youd like to engorge? If some unenlightened
person questions your right to claim the biggest
piece and the sweetest taste and the best fuel,
inform them that your astrologer says you have
ultimate permission.
PISCES (February 19-March 20): Is
there an interesting ally whose path
rarely crosses yours? Do you draw
inspiration from a like-minded dynamo who
is not fully available? Has fate kept you and a
friend from getting as close as you would wish?
According to my reading of the astrological
omens, relationships such as these could become
more substantial in the coming weeks. The
dream of a more robust connection could ripen
into an opportunity to actually collaborate. So
be alert for the openings, and be prepared to do
whats necessary to go deeper.
