By Mary Richmond columnist@barnstablepatriot.com Evening drops into our landscape earlier and ear- lier each day and with it comes a coolness that tugs at our memories of adarker, colder time not solong ago, a time we let go of as soon aswe were washed with the warmth of summer. Andit istruethat the days come back alittle later each morning, but with them comes enough warmth for us to revel in and we easily toss off last night'scoolness as a bad dream instead of the foreboding we really know it is. All along 6A in West Barnstable,Barnstable and Cummaquid the trees are still predominantly green although the colder nights this week may change that soon. Even sf __7;:^ the maples ^r ^%h still hold ^x "Srt;,' more greens / &¦ ¦:;•' than yellows ;'.-.-'¦-',(;,. > \| or reds.

The water, however, is reflecting that bright blue green it seems to hold only in autumn. The terns are mostly gone and the last flocks of migrating shore- birds that have lingered ** k along our shores are Hk movin& on out- Gan- ¦ "•viyii ne*s can t)e seen \}! ^% from the beach at v^; -'ijA Sandy Neck but i&y ' | | | the loons and ei- |V \,MJM ders have not yet ^^i wil arriveci- §| | | vfP l The great s^if| M | |j | . marsh is a ^| | | l | | f l - g°od Place 5^* ^^^ to see vS«k northern har- Iipfik riers tnese days fCs&k ancinot long ago iffir *^ a great horned ^^ owl was seen in a tree at the edge of the marsh. The crows had spotted it too and harassed it untilit took flight deeper into the trees. Great blue herons are still around al- though most of the egrets seem to have moved on. Listen for kingfishers if you are near a marsh or a pond. Although some mi- grateothers arebusysetting up their winter territories and they are being quite vocal in many areas. Neighborhoods andwood- lands are filled with the cheerful noiseofchickadees, nuthatches, titmice and downy woodpeckers asthey maketheir waythrough the trees. Watch for the tiny golden crowned kinglets around area ponds and other wet places. Youmayseethem "flutter feeding" (officially known as hover gleaning) at the tips of branches and hear theirhightse-tse-tse sounds as they forage all around you. They are one of my favorite little birds and this is a great time of year to see them. Foxes and coyotes are busy hunting at dawn and dusk and young raccoons and skunks are out and about at night, afact morn- ing roadsides can sadly attest to. The monarchs that mi- grated through a week or so ago are mostly gone now though you may still find dragonflies in sunny spots on warm,sunnydays.Some are even stillmatingand will lay eggs in the water that will hatch and winter over as larvae. Frogs, toads, salaman- ders, turtles and snakes are still out and about although these cold nights willsoon send them search- ing for their winter slumber spots. The frost may be on the pumpkinbut it'sstillagreat timeto be out and about. In the next week or so, color should open up across the landscape and give us that last burst of outrageous beauty before the long gray sets in. wiskMlil I 0 # Captain's Doll... CONTINUED FROM PAGE C:1 plays seamstress Mitchka and adds a bit of much-needed smart, energetic comic relief. Throughout the play, exceptionally rich music accompanies the many set chang- es. Recorded by Bruce Maclean , Timothy McKendree on violin and Elizabeth Schultz on cello, it pro- vides smooth, relaxing sound. The attempt at existentialism by Captain Hepburn is explained, in part , by his cool wife in a de- lightfully wicked scene in which she entertains mistress Hannele over tea. One can only imagine the discomfort of the guilty woman as the wife prattles on and on about her husband, his promise on bended knee of fidelity to her, his lifetime of good behavior, and her willingness to forgive his slip into the "degenerative." She tackles the issue of his affair openly, explain- ing that she hasn't confronted him because she doesn't like to tear open wounds, but rather cover them up and let them heal. She rests the blame for his weakness on psychological wounds sustained in war that led to his being degener- ate. There is a humorous twist in this scene that lets the mistress off the hook; whether it is intentional on the wife's part is left to the audience 's imagination. The long first act is followed by a brief second act in which the lovers' feelings are better revealed. Ultimately the play is humorous, thoughtful and unique. Zinn pulls together the threads of the story with a careful hand and the actors fill out the form very well, givinglife and shape to the play.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE C:1 Double Indemnity: Special Edition (Universal) We've seen it before. Based on an actual case, this Oscar-nominated gem tells the twisted tale of a schem- ing black widow (played by Barbara Stanwyck) who draws asmooth-talk- ing insurance man (FredMacMurray ) into a wed of intrigue and murder. Their insurance scam goes awry, and the lovers turn against each other as their survival instincts kick in and the stakes get higher and higher. Lust and crime don't pay, and here , with a screenplay by Billy Wilder and Raymond Chandler, the pay-off is so downright hard-boiled criminal it's brilliant. Film noir just doesn't get more flawless. CONTINUED FROM PAGE C:1 sign in New York, the Art Stu- dent's League rose to become one of the more prestigious art schools in the world and remains so to this day. Many Cape Cod artists have been among its students and teach- ers, including Hans Hofmann and Edwin Dickinson. This exhibition, on loan from the League, presents works from the past 125 years and reflects the shiftsin aesthetic tastes as they moved through impres- sionism, social realism, cubism, surrealism, expressionism arid abstraction. Many of the most significant artists in the history of American art are represented here and many of the works have interestinghistories. Norman Rockwell's 1911 char- coal illustration for Oliver Gold- smith's 77ie Deserted Village , is believed to have earned him a year's tuition at the League. In the same year that Georgia O'Keeff e was enrolled in William Merritt Chase's class (her work is included), he painted "Fish Still-Life" as a class demonstra- tion piece. Moving from the public to the private sector, the exhibi- tion "Glimpses from the Past: 500 Years of Printmaking" pulls from the private collec- tion of Sandra and Robert Bowden. Sandra, herself a printmaker, and her husband have amassed a collection that is as notable for its roster, which includes Carracci, Durer, Rembrandt, Rouault, Picasso, and Chagall, as for its discern- ing selection of exquisite and powerful imagery. In their own words" "Each time we buy a new piece it is an opportunity to learn about the work and extend our world. We also be- lieve that it is important to be a caretaker of our past." The exhibition reveals as much about the tastes of the collectors as it does the devel- opments in printmaking, offer- ing up breathtaking examples created by some of the most prominent printmakerssince the Renaissance. Bringing us full circle to the present is what has become, in a very short period, a high- light of the CCMFA's exhibition schedule. The juried exhibition of the "Printmakers of Cape Cod" is well worth the antici- pation it generates. While the work that was selected is not necessarilythe best example of these artists' creations, it is nonetheless an impressive display that reflects the full spectrum of artistic printmak- ing and presents the numerous ways that artists creatively use the medium. In the words of juror Candy Nartonis, "I found work of great beauty, stark simplicity,complex depth and delightful humor. Many of the works included in this exhibi- tion were worthy of an award but I had only six to present." Among the numerous no- tables: a large, boldly-colored woodcut of frenzied musicians by Bill Evaul titled "Way Out Willie," a cleverly designed vi- sual pun by Sara Ringler called "Dream," Jean Fogg Brock's work "Pathway,"which explores transparency and subtle color- ations, Chip Brock's "Dock," an exuberant three-dimensional monotype of jumbled piers and buildings, and the powerfully massed forms and lyricism of Christine Corcelle-Lippeveld's solar etching "Chaumieres."For the dozens of artists not men- tioned, their work reveals the incredible range and mastery of the medium that they have achieved. The Leagueand Collector's Choiceexhibi- tion will be on view until Dec. 3 and the Printmakers exhibition will close on Dec. 10.
