Chicago: With the Chicago Tribune Articles That Inspired It
In 1924, the murder trials of Beulah Annan and Belva Gaertner shocked the world, providing the real-life inspiration for Maurine Watkins's unforgettable characters, Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly. Now, a century later, this reissue of Watkins's play offers a fresh look at the origins of the story that has since become a household name.
From the silent film Chicago produced by Cecil B. DeMille i...Maurine A. Watkins was a Chicago Tribune reporter whose play was derived from her bright, humorous coverage of the murder trials of two women remarkably like Roxie.
Thomas H. Pauly is the author of a critical study of Elia Kazan, a biography of Zane Grey, and a book on American sport before World War I.
