Take a trip back in time to the golden ’50s age of gamblers and their molls. Marlon Brando played lead Sky Masterson in the movie, singing the song Sinatra later made a standard, “Luck Be a Lady.” And rumor has it in high school, I played the kindly Salvation Army preacher Arvide Abernathy. Wow, have things changed since those days!
