Pygmalion and Galatea At the Old Soldiers Home
The Sheridan Dramatic Club presents a play at the Old Soldiers Home with Tom Bilbeck and Maryella amid romantic tension and a restless tempo. Bilbeck’s newsroom duties excuse his absence as risoners escape and tension grows around his relationship with Hemmingway’s wife. Comrade Pilk Henwether’s deaf reply style leads to awkward humor before a dramatic moment signals a turning point.

Snowfall Follows Thick Flake Curtain at the Home
In Chapter VI the light snow gives way to heavy precipitation as flakes fall thick on the night of the 21. The blaze in the stable contrasts with the cold as the group and Colonel Stewart retreat to the main Home building seeking warmth. A diverse group of Greeka and others makeup the scene.
