What's more, the musical numbers merely comment on the action, so that every time a character opens his or her mouth to sing, the plot screeches to a halt As a result, they merely accent the mustiness of Manners' script In its day, J It ran for nearly two years on Broadway and was revived â€â€? albeit with less success â€â€? in the 1920s Really, though, it doesn't aspire to be anything more than sentimental fluff Hartley Manners' play was a huge hit The actors do what they can, but you get the feeling that even they realize this is a lost endeavor In one especially grievous case, Peg's stern aunt (Melissa Hart) interrupts a climactic fight to sing a ballad about loneliness On the contrary, she has composed them in period style, with old-fashioned lyrics and arrangements You might find a few quaint surprises, but eventually the mold and dust become suffocating Not even director Charlotte Moore's new songs â€â€? nine of them â€â€? rejuvenate the play The other roles are one-note And that's a nearly insurmountable problem for would-be revivers, because fluff doesn't bear reinterpretation: It's all surface The song itself is touching, but it hardly belongs in the middle of a battle Hijinks ensue Century-Old Play 'Peg Showing Its Age May 29, 7:05 PM EST Watching "Peg O' My Heart," the 1912 play being revived at the Irish Repertory Theatre, is like rummaging around in Grandma's attic As a result, this production offers nothing to distract you from the jarring sight of contemporary actors performing a play that practically screams its age But she seems too good-natured to cause the headaches she's constantly provoking in her uppity relatives Of course, in the end, Peg's pure heart wins them both over â€â€? the moral being that human spirit (as embodied by the Irish) always trumps decorum (as embodied by the English) There's a more important lesson to be learned from this production, however: "Peg O' My Heart" should have stayed in the attic Hart's only duty is to be indignant; Rita Harvey, as Peg's aloof cousin, spends most of her time with her nose in the air Peg is a fiery Irish lassie, recently orphaned, who comes to live with her aristocratic English relatives As strong-willed Peg, Kathleen Early â€â€? previously seen in Edward Albee's "The Play About the Baby" â€â€? has a pretty soprano and appropriately unruly red hair Her aunt tries to civilize her (shades of "Pygmalion"), but Peg's uncultured manners clash violently with her relatives' repressed snootiness "The worst thing is, one little scratch is enough to make the movie skip foward a chapter," says Martin, who estimates his collection at more than $3,000 There are typically no such locks on music CDs Sleight acknowledges that "probably the majority of people" use such software to make illegal duplicates â€â€? such as copies of DVD rentals or movies borrowed from friends mrbass But movie buffs who want to make backups of their treasured DVD libraries are running into a formidable enemy: Hollywood, where studio executives worried about convenient, widespread movie piracy are about as nervous as Abbott and Costello in the mummy's tomb "It's almost to the point of a one-click operation, where even the average Joe can make a DVD backup," says Adam Sleight of San Diego, who runs the popular www Painfully aware of technology's impact on the music industry, movie-makers are headed to court Thursday to persuade U "They should target the people in China and the street vendors who sell them at a profit With two mouseclicks, one such package creates a near-perfect copy of a two-hour feature in as little as 20 minutes The future of consumers' expectations and what they perceive to be their rights are in question," says Robert Moore, the head of 321 Studios, which sells its copying software for $99 , who doesn't use 321's software but has followed the technology debate Consumers-rights organizations and some technology groups contend that copying software doesn't unlawfully help users violate copyrights, because consumers should be allowed under "fair use" copyright provisions to make backups of DVDs they've already purchased But accidents â€â€? and scratches â€â€? still happen "They're being a little overzealous in stopping me from protecting my assets org Web site with instructions on copying DVD movies One advantage of his efforts: When Sleight makes copies, he eliminates five to 10 minutes of previews and advertisements that typically precede his children's movies The true thieves are the people who make a profit off them Congress, which once appeared inclined to intervene, is sitting out until the courtroom fight gets resolved " " An increasingly popular class of software lets consumers make duplicate DVDs as backups by copying movies onto inexpensive blank discs using their home computers " In a minor concession to Hollywood, 321's software adds to each blank disc a warning about copyright laws and refuses to make further copies from a duplicate disc , is emerging as one of the most significant technology debates in years Hollywood Fights DVD Duplication May 14, 3:15 PM EST Brian Martin, a computer consultant in Maryland, is careful when he handles the plastic discs in his DVD library of more than 200 movies " The latest software product from Moore's company, called "DVD Xpress," is enough to cause fits for studio executives "That is probably what happens a lot of the time, but I think the movie studios should prioritize," Sleight said Sleight says he's copied hundreds of DVD movies onto blank discs, including many Disney films for his two children "If I own the DVD and make a copy for my own personal use, there should be no problem with that," said Martin of Laurel, Md But experts note that other copying software, freely available on the Internet, doesn't include such concessions and can make third- and fourth-generation copies just as perfectly The MPAA maintains that consumers aren't permitted to make personal backups of DVDs, saying a movie buff whose disc becomes scratched needs to buy a new one Unlike similar programs that can take hours to make copies and span most Hollywood movies across two blank discs, Xpress can squeeze a near-perfect copy onto a single disc in as little as 20 minutes "That's become really annoying with a few of mine "The future of our company is at stake "This case represents something very significant; it could set the standard The legal battle, which focuses on software products sold by 321 Studios Inc The powerful Motion Picture Association of America argues that this type of software circumvents the anti-copying digital "locks" that studios employ on DVDs, which would be illegal under the 1998 copyright law of Chesterfield, Mo S District Judge Susan Illston in San Francisco to declare the distribution of such software illegal under the 1998 Digital Millenium Copyright Act |
