Winona Lake woman has piece by tepee dwelling artist Paul Hoffhein

“1 fell in love with it right away,” said Mrs. Robert P. Wolfram, 1908 Park Avenue. Winona Lake, about a wood sculpture made for her by Paul B. Hoffhein, who is living in a tepee in rural Syracuse. Hoffhein came to her husband’s sawmill lumber business to get some scrap lumber and mentioned that he had a walnut log he got near Leesburg, which he had for three years. “I love sculpture, I love art,” said Mrs. Wolfram, who later met the Indiana university art graduate They discussed the piece, her likes and dislikes and the approach to doing a sculpture from his log, yet staying within the log s conformity About three months later, during this July. Hoffhein finished the piece, which now sits in Mrs. Wolfram s foyer “It needed something in here." Mrs Wolfram said, relating that after they put the sculpture on the floor, she and Hoffhein spent an hour arranging green plants around it Hoff hem was concerned how the sculpture was

going to look inside the foyer, but Mrs Wolfram said, “Don’t worry, it found a good home The sculpture was placed on a walnut base made by Hoffhem’s fnend. Tip Scott. Tippecanoe Lake. Leesburg. Mrs. Wolfram said that she is unsure of the piece’s weight, but it took two men to put it on the pedestal “Since we re in the timber

business, it would tie in a little bit and soften the introduction of my husband to sculpture." said Mrs. Wolfram She says her husband does not have the enthusiasm for art which she has. but enjoys it if she explains the paintings, prints or pieces to him. The sculpture has chisel marked grooves on the bottom part, then gets smoother toward the top and works in the partial limb and other natural log features. Mrs. Wolfram says at first, she felt the sculpture had a primitive African influence, but after reading about the artist’s living in a tepee, she believes it to be more Indian influenced. She outlined this point by tracing what appears to be the profile of an Indian with headdress on one side of the piece Mrs. Wolfram said that the character of the sculpture is muscular, relating how another artist. Leonardo DaVinci studied anatomy m relation to his art work. “It has the feel of man," Mrs. Wolfram explained. “Because it’s very strong, it just fascinates me The more I look at it the more I realize what it takes to do this “ “1 couldn't believe that that young man was from around here.” says Mrs Wolfram She further explained that with talents such as Hoffhein’s she thought that individual would be

found in a larger community such as Chicago. “I think it was the first sale he ever made,” stated Mrs. Wolfram. Hoffhein used boiled linseed oil as a preservative for the sculpture, and Mrs Wolfram applies some to it frequently. Mrs. Wolfram has seen two other works by Hoffhein, a solid cherry sculpture of a spoon and fork. “It’s just immense, it’s eight or 10 feet tall,” she said. “To me the fork is very, very unusual.” She approached Hoffhein about selling one of the two pieces to her, but he did not want to break up the set. “He’s a tremendous artist,” Mrs. Wolfram said evaluating his works. “ He is a different individual to say the least, but I like him."

OPENING CONCERT SEPTEMBER 22 — The first show of the 1976-77 Lakeland Community Concert season will be presented at the Warsaw Community high school auditorium on Wednesday, Sept. 22. at 8 p.m. This opening concert will feature television’s Dorothy Collins and her husband. Ronald Holgate, in a musical salute to Broadway, “Broadway Hit Parade”. Miss Collins was for many years the star of “Your Hit Parade” and has probably entertained more Americans than any other singing star. She has also performed in the theater and is a popular nightclub entertainer. Ronald Holgate recently starred on Broadway in the London hit “Saturday Sunday Monday” and has gained wide recognition for his portrayal of Richard Henry Lee to the Breadway and movie versions of the hit musical “1776,” which will be broadcast this season on NBC television. He earned a Tony award as best supporting actor from the show’s two-year run on Broadway. This husband and wife team have combined their talents to “Broadway Hit Parade”, which was such a hit during last year's tour that they agreed to a second tour this year. This show promises to be an exciting beginning for the Lakeland Community Concerts current season. Admission to all concerts is by season membership only. Memberships are available each spring for the following concert season.

'Bad News Bears' flick comes to Pickwick Friday

Vic Morrow is dressed for his role in the film with dark blue cap with a big “Y” for Yankees (the team he coaches in the picture), shortsleeved warm-up jersey, short pants. athletic socks and sneakers. His moustache is thick but neatly clipped, his gaze vaguely challenging, his voice deep and forceful. He shouts his lines with just the right balance between encouragement and threat —a Vince Lom-bardi-style authority. Later, however, slouched in the dugout, he is soft-spoken and perceptive “I took this role because I found it offbeat. A baseball coach can be tough without being considered a traditional and 1 have to be honest, I am tirbd—Of'being considered as only capable of playing 'heavies/ ” . His character in the film. Roy Turner, coaches the champions of the North Valley League, those sandlot baseball demons, the Yankees, against the challengers to their supremacy, a group of loveable misfits who comprise the “Bears" team. Coached by a beer-guzzling exminor leaguer (played by Oscar winner Walter Matthau), they are molded together into pennant contenders. The enlistment of a tomboy ace pitcher (played by another Oscar winner. Tatum O’Neal) and a delinquent. power-hitting outfielder (played by Jackie Earle Haley) aids their cause immeasurably. Morrow’s career has included a vast array of parts. The most famous are his portrayal of a street hood in "Blackboard Jungle” with Glenn Ford, his performance as an “inmate chieftain" in Tom Goes’ TV movie version of Truman Capote’s prison drama, “The Glass House." and the TV series, “Combat.” “The Bad News Bears” is the second time that Morrow has teamed up with Walter Matthau, the previous time being many years back in “King Creole.” “Hey. it’s great to work with Walter. He is a terrific actor and a great guy. But. look, this is a super project.a sure-fire box-office smash, so who can complain"*”
