By chance I had just finished Graham Greene's "Brighton Rock" when I read this novel. It starts the same way. On Page One a character is on the run, certain that someone has been sent to kill him. The era is the same -- Europe on the brink of World War II. In "Brighton Rock," it's England and, in Craig Nova's novel it's Berlin during the Weimar Republic. And, sure enough, in a recent interview, Nova said Greene's "entertainments" inspired his new book. Instead of "Brighton Rock's" two-bit hoodlum, Pinkie, facing annihilation by a professional mob that's moved into his territory, "The Informer" presents us with Gaelle, a beautiful but scarred prostitute plying her trade even though there's been a series of Jack the Ripper-style killings in her neighborhood. Gaelle is also caug...

In stores: CONTAGION (2011, Warner, PG-13, $29) -- The tenuousness of civilized society is a theme that Steven Soderbergh examines in grim detail in this chiller about a deadly virus that counts a Midwestern business exec (Gwyneth Paltrow) as its patient zero. Paltrow brings the deadly bug back from Hong Kong and, in a matter of weeks, millions are dead and millions more are desperate for a vaccine. The cast members (Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard, Jude Law, Jennifer Ehle, Laurence Fishburne) are top-notch but the disease itself -- transmitted though elevator buttons and door handles -- is the real star. "Contagion" is a disaster thriller done right. Extras: featurettes.

Anyway. For a theater whose films revealed just about everything, the Garden rarely called attention to itself. It opened "without publicity" in 1915, according to a profile compiled as part of the Library of Congress' Historic American Building Survey. Its original owner was one David E. Park, a bank vice president. According to the HABS, the theater's name was chosen "as a pun on the name of the owner" (get it? Park? Garden?) so it wouldn't be confused with the Park Building Downtown. During his lifetime, [Bennett Amdur] insisted on showing only the most family-friendly entertainment. In a 1970 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article published shortly after his death, the Garden's acting manager said Amdur "kept a clean place and wouldn't even show Frankenstein. Adult theaters like the New G...

The big dictionaries say that a theodicy is "a vindication of the divine attributes, especially justice and holiness, in respect to the existence of evil: a doctrine or theory intended to justify the ways of God to men." Where evil was seen as the manifest upshot of a perverse will (it being presumed that without free assent there could be no perfect goodness in creatures) and suffering as the sign of the deep-seated effect of such perversity, there was no real problem of evil, and so no science of "theodicy." [...] the eighteenth-century distinctions between metaphysical evil, natural evil, and moral evil.
