TLC Presents: "Bullets or Ballots"

“Eddie and Bogie”- Films pairing Humphrey Bogart and Edward G. Robinson

Edward G. Robinson once said, “I know I'm not much on face value, but when it comes to stage value, I'll deliver for you.”  While neither of these iconic actors were known for their pretty faces, boy was he right, they could sure act!  Join us Wednesdays in September for “Eddie and Bogie”, a celebration of both the classically cool Humphrey Bogart and the extremely gifted Edward G. Robinson.  This lineup of little known gems is sure to delight any film fan.  Movies will start at 2:00 PM at the Talent Library, 101 Home Street. Admission and refreshments are free, courtesy of the Talent Library Club.
