September
18 -
October 17 2010 Young Edward Middleton is honest,
charitable, and too easily tempted by drink. When his
proclivity is exploited by the malicious lawyer
Cribbs, Middleton loses his home, family, and fortune,
and he is cast alone and adrift in the city. But under
the kind command of temperance leader Arden Rencelaw,
salvation is at hand for a man willing to own his
weaknesses as well as his strengths. Michael Hardart; photo by Jainé Cingone More about The Drunkard Some relevant links |
Talkback Schedule: 10/1
10/17: "Why Edward Middleton Sees Snakes:
