Title
Ten Nights in a Barroom
Description
Poster ; Joe Morgan, the village drunkard, is encouraged in his boozing and other irresponsible ways by Simon Slade, the evil owner of the Sickle and Sheaf bar. Even the plea of his little daughter, Mary ('Father, dear father, come home'), cannot drag Morgan away for long. In a barroom brawl Mary is accidentally struck by a glass thrown at her father. The shock helps Morgan reform, Slade is killed by his own son, and the village votes to close the saloon. This prohibitionist drama, based on a story by T. S. Arthur, was never popular in major cities, but was second only to Uncle Tom's Cabin on rural circuits
