Octette Bridge
Club The opening vignette
of 'The Octette Bridge Club' is a Norman Rockwell illustration come
to life. Eight sisters in Providence, R.I., have gathered without their
husbands, as they do twice a month, for a night of gossip, home baked
pie and cards. The sisters are a merry, close-knit clan of Irish descent.
They giggle as a newspaper photographer takes a picture of their 'club'
for the Sunday Rotogravure section; they speak or sing in unison at
the drop of a cloche hat. The year is 1934, and, as the women never
cease to remind us, this was a time when families still had roots. |
