Fremont Public Library

Events Room, 2nd floor

Come and be fascinated as spellbinding storyteller Barry Bradford unravels a mesmerizing story of murder and madness, sex and celebrity at the dawn of the twentieth century.

It sounds like a movie: The setting: a swanky society gathering on the roof of Madison Square Garden. The players: A charming rogue who was America's greatest architect, the drug addicted scion of one of America's wealthiest families and his wife, a teenage chorus girl who was America's first supermodel. In fact, it has been fictionalized in two movies: "Ragtime" and "The Girl In The Red Velvet Swing." Come and be fascinated as spellbinding storyteller Barry Bradford unravels a mesmerizing story of murder and madness, sex and celebrity at the dawn of the twentieth century.
