Lust, Lucre & Liquor and Piece of Work

About the Book

LUST, LUCRE, and LIQUOR is mock-melodrama featuring a catalogue of hair-raising escapes typical of plays of a hundred years ago and more. It is offered here for its fans, those who acted in it, saw it, on the Showboat Majestic touring the Ohio River and its tributaries and later on other stages, starting in 1952 and for a decade and more later. PIECE OF WORK, is a more recent farce, finished about 1998, which is printed here because it's funny.
