Bonham Carter is so exquisite a period piece that it is jarring to imagine her as a jukebox Juliet in some 1980s T shirt ripper. The reverse is just as emphatically true for most of the young American actresses. Try seeing Laura Dern's superior performance as a hormone-fogged California adolescent in Smooth Talk, for instance, and then envision her in a Victorian corset and long skirt.

...just the lead guitarist/songwriter/singer for a critically respected British blues band that played 20-minute songs, Dire Straits. Now, thanks to "Money For Nothing," a ZZ Top parody that happened to hit Number One, this small man with a balding John McEnroe "hairstyle" is an arena giant, a jukebox hero and an heir apparent to such names as Page, Clapton, Townshend--and yes, Van Halen.

Auburn St.), the latter located near the Filly 33D is comfortable and spacious and drinks are surprisingly cheap, though there is little else there to interest the drinker Ha'Penny, although it is mostly frequented by older area regulars, has the best jukebox in the Square, nice waiters, and fairly inexpensive drinks. The low lighting and small tables make it best for couples or small groups, though it becomes overstuffed in the weekend crush. Best on weekday evenings...

...would-be sophisticates there is Casablanca (40 Brattle St), in the same complex as the Brattle Theater. Casa B comes complete with Bogey and Catherine posters, recessed lighting, slow ceiling fans, a jukebox with "As Time Goes By" and Edith Piaf along with the usual pop. Drinks are more expensive--a must for social climbers--but the wai9ters are very friendly and the atmosphere homey and comfortable...
