| Description: |
Babe Ruth: A Life Behind the Legend, a Chautauqua portrayal by Frank Mullen Jr., is a Humanities on the Road program hosted by the Rotary Club of Sparks. Babe Ruth, a teammate said, was the only man who lived up to, or even surpassed, his legend. He hit the ball further than fans thought possible, and he bashed more home runs than other teams, let alone other players. Fast times and new technology fueled his fame, and Ruth's rise coincided with the dawn of the celebrity culture. For information, call Mary Toleno at Nevada Humanities, 775-784-6587. |
