Mayor Lugar unveils Hook historical marker

Mayor Richard G. Lugar unveiled a special historical marker Friday noon, Oct. 3, at the site of the first Hook’s Drug store, 1101 South East street. The store opened in October 1900. John A. Hook, who founded the chain drug corporation that bean his name, was president until his death in 1943. At that time the company operated approximately 50 drug stores. Assisting the mayor at the special occasion were August F. (Bud) Hook, board chairman and son of the founder of Hook Drugs, Inc.; also Norman P. Reeves, president. The delegation then joined executives of Eli Lilly and Co., early business neighbors, for a special “birthday" luncheon in observance of the occasion, with Richard D. Wood, board chairman and Thomas Lake, president, as hosts Hook’s original store was in business until 1918. when it was sold to James L. Simmons, who continued its operation until 1941, when Simmons moved one block north and the old building was

Rock opera, the medium and message, Tommy'

The newspaper ads for Columbia Pictures’ new movie musical proclaim “Tommy is for everyone!” W’ell, perhaps not quite. True enjoyment of the picture depends in great measure on viewer acceptance of several elements unique to this film. First, and foremost, “Tommy” is a musical. Many people claim to dislike musicals, partly, one suspects, because they cannot bring themselves to accept the musical medium, that is, telling a story by means of both dialogue and song. Unlike the conventional Broadway musical form, however, ‘“Tommy” makes use of the operatic medium in which the entire story is told in song. Add to that the fact of its being a “ rock” opera using contemporary styles of music, enjoyed by many, but certainly not all, and one can readily see that a specialized audience may be necessary for the success of this picture. Therefore, if you count yourself among the multitudes who enjoy musicals and contemporary music, get ready’ for a spectacular audio treat. An explanation of the musical medium is only half the picture, however. The most common viewer comment of those having seen “Tommy” is that it has no story or, more specifically, “I didn’t understand it.” The simple Freshman at Flagler college B. Scott Kay, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. “Gene” Kay of Raven Park, Ligonier, is enrolled as a freshman at Flagler college in Saint Augustine. Fla. Scott, a 1975 graduate of West Noble high school, plans to major in social science at the four-year co-educational liberal arts coUege which occupies the former Ponce deLeon resort hotel complex in Saint Augustine.

razed. In 1967, Mr. Simmons retired and sold the original furnishings back to the Hook firm. In 1974. they were re-assembled into a vintage drug store at Nashville, launching the drug company’s year long 75th anniversary observance The senior Hook, himself the son of a German immigrant, referred to himself as a "Deutsche Apotheke’’ (german apothecary) since a majority (rs his first customers were either native German born or first generation descendants. In commemorating this aspect of the Hook origin, the company was recognized by the committee for the preservation of German culture in Indianapolis at their annual Oktoberfest, October 1-4, in Indianapolis. Today. Hook’s operate 211 drug stores in 106 Indiana communities Their 1975 sales volume is expected to surpass $l3O million. 4-H and similar organizations thrive in more than 80 countries around the world.

truth of the matter is that “Tommy” does have a message and provides poignant commentary’ on a number of vital social issues. The problem, it would seem, stems from an inability on the part of the viewer to connect the various parts and synthesize them into a whole. EssentiaUy, “Tommy” is the story of a little boy handicapped psychologically by insensitive and negligent parents early in life, and hi? struggle to find awareness and human fulfillment independently of his parents' futile and bungling efforts. Unlike “Jesus Christ Superstar,” another contemporary rock opera which enjoyed immense popularity, the story line of “Tommy” is original. Like a fairy tale or fable, the story is a vehicle for an even more important message. Allegory, or symbolism, is used to illustrate these messages. Audiences had little trouble understanding “Superstar” because its story was familiar and religious tradition is already steeped in recognizable allegorical symbolism. Not so with “Tommy.” Viewers wishing to realize the ultimate enjoyment from this truly incredible filip are advised to watch for the following social themes: the ravages of warfare, parental neglect, ridicule of the handicapped, the value of institutional or ritualized religion, caprice, cult and hero worship, conspicuous consumption, drug abuse, gambling, commercialism and vanity; in short, many of the elements present in the contemporary human condition. Perhaps one of the most visually exciting films ever made, “Tommy” stars AnnMargret, Oliver Reed, Roger Daltrey and Elton John. The beautifully detailed story and its lessons for modern society, presented in highly allergorical terms, is accompanied by music performed by The Who. Your
