The Babe. The colorful exploits of baseball legend George Herman (Babe) Ruth come brilliantly to life in this dramatic new film about the first true superstar of professional sports. John Goodman gives an outstanding performance as THE BABE, the delinquent manchild whose successes in baseball were exceeded only by his insatiable appetite for wine, women and hot dogs.

Ages: older crowd
Michael Shay is a superior court judge for the State of Connecticut. He is also an avid historian and the author of Stout-Hearted Lads : Maj. Gen. Clarence R. Edwards and the Yankee Division in the First World War.
Please join Judge Shay for a reading and discussion of his book.
The 26th ("Yankee") Division was a New England National Guard division, formed and brought to France by Maj. Gen. Clarence Ransom Edwards, who had a long and distinguished military career, despite his reputation as a "political" general. The reputation of both the division and the man are inexorably entwined, and his talk will explore this relationship, as well as the gallant service of the New England National Guard in France. Michael Shay holds a lifelong interest in history as well as in genealogy which led him to write his first book on the Yankee Division, A Grateful Heart: The History of a World War I Field Hospital. This book was followed by The Yankee Division in the First World War: In the Highest Tradition. He is currently at work on two other books, one about the Philippine War (1898-1902) and another one on the Yankee Division.
