Tonight's book is: And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie In this classic whodunit, eight people receive an invitation from a mysterious host to an island off the coast of Devon.

It isn’t until after dinner that they learn what they all have in common—they’re all guilty of murder and soon they will die.

FIVE STAR FILMS: Broken Blossoms
(1919) Directed by D. W. Griffith NR Stars: Lillian Gish, Richard Barthelmess One of the most poetic and bittersweet love stories ever on screen, this silent film tells the tale of a lonely girl’s existence at the mercy of a brutish father. She has no idea that a young neighborhood Chinese shopkeeper worships her in silence. His character is played to perfection by gifted actor Richard Barthelmess. The Limehouse District of London is re-created by Griffith in all its squalor to great effect. One of the scenes performed by Springfield, Ohio native and legendary actress Lillian Gish remains unsurpassed in films to this day.
