Doctor Thorne

Anthony Trollope once said, "A novel should give a picture of common life enlivened by humour and sweetened by pathos." Trollope admirably fulfills his own criteria in this charming third novel in the Chronicles of Barsetshire.

Doctor Thorne adopts his niece Mary, keeping secret her illegitimate birth as he introduces her to the best local social circles. There she meets and falls in love with Frank Gresham, heir to a vastly mortgaged estate; yet Frank is obliged to find a wealthy wife. Only Doctor Thorne knows that Mary is to inherit a large legacy that will make her acceptable to the otherwise disapproving middle-class society to which Frank belongs. Where fiery passion fails, understated English virtues of patience, persistence, and good humor prevail in this most appealing of Trollope's comedies.

Around the World in 80 Days

Runtime : 6 hours

Our Price : $24.95

Purchase...

Verne's most outrageous "voyage extraordinaire" - a hasty world tour taken up on a gentlemen's club wager! Mr. Phileas Fogg, master of precision, enters into the strangest wager ever made over the whist table - that he will circle the globe in 80 days. The news astounds Jean Passepartout, sometime wandering minstrel, bareback rider, funambulist, gymnast and fireman, now turned valet to Mr. Fogg in the expectancy of a quiet and well-regulated life. For the next 80 days, their lives are anything but quiet or well-regulated.

Jules Verne preferred to call himself an author of "voyages extraordinaires." An extraordinary voyage it is, from Fogg's announcement to Passepartout that they are to "leave for Dover in ten minutes," to his triumphant return to the Reform Club at the last second!

The young Jolyon had been disinherited after divorcing his wife to marry a penniless foreign governess.



Now, with both his father and his beloved wife dead, the younger Jolyon finds himself drawn in sympathy

to Irene, who was so dear to Old Jolyon in his final days. Their shared troubles blossom into a romance,

to the horror of Soames Forsyte.

A spooky little Holiday tale by Dicken's

Bob from Colorado - 19 Nov 2004

I really enjoyed this program...The only reason that I did not give it a full five stars has more to do with Dickens than the Colonial Radio Theatre. They did a great job bringing this quirky holiday to life. Once again, a superb musical score and fine acting make this a very special piece of holiday fare.

"In O. Henry's world, establishment figures become boobs and rich men become dunces,

while rogues become heroes and down-and-outers become gentlemen."Coconut Telegraph

In "Elsie in New York," Elsie is an innocent young woman who, upon the death of her father, must look

for work to make a living. Her father expected her to trust to the goodheartedness of his previous employer,

but Elsie prefers to make her own way in life. Although she visits an employment agency and applies for

several positions, do-gooders interfere. Thinking they are saving her soul, in actuality they point her to her

destruction.



In "The Purple Dress," two young women clerks have been saving money all year to buy new dresses for

the one gala of their year, the annual Thanksgiving dinner given by their employer. Both are hoping to catch

the eye of one attractive gentleman bachelor at the party. But interactions with a landlady and a dressmaker

intervene, and things turn out much differently than either girl could have imagined.
