...tough going, but salvation did eventually come. First working the superhuman task of reviving a crowd dead in a glorified gym, Perry and friends rumbled through adequate renditions of a speed-metal-like "Ain't No Right," "Then She Did" and a well-punctuated "Stop!" Compared to the superb later fare, all this would in fact seem somewhat haphazard, even throwaway, but the imperative of regaining the audience's attention made it all worthwhile. By that odd slower, leisurely drum-pulsed section in "Stop!" the crowd was about as enthused as one could reasonably expect them...

...second supporting character likewise outshines Bruckmann: Jung Oh '00 as the unimpressively named Second Woman is fabulous. In marked contrast to Dido's cautious strains and pensive, almost petulant facial expressions, Oh breaks into her minor lines with unrestrained power and wonderful clarity.

Lieut. Arthur Lewis can be an exacting critic. As he leafs through a children's coloring book, his mustache twitches, and his eyebrows collide in a scowl. But now, Lewis turns to three small girls standing in front of him, a smile on his face, and pronounces their efforts superb. As a reward, the young artists receive three quarters apiece, enough for each girl to buy a "poor man's" sandwich at Harold's Chicken Shack. In most parts of America, this qualifies as an after-school snack. Here, on the South Side of Chicago, it's dinner...
