In 1924, the then 28-year- old Watkins arrived in Chicago, a city quickly becoming a mecca for crime, liquor and jazz. Watkins went to work at The Chicago Tribune, where she was assigned to the Cook County Jail’s infamous “Murderess Row.” It was on Murderess Row that Watkins met and covered Belva Gaertner and Beulah Annan, women she would later immortalize as Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart in “Chicago”, played by LRP’s Jennifer Marus and Maree Beers. Annan’s lawyers, William Scott Stewart and W.W. O’Brien, were merged into the smooth-talking lawyer, Billy Flynn, played by Matthieu Korso.

School districts, library collect Labels for Education The Labels for Education program allows the Florence Area PTA to accumulate points that can be redeemed for various educational prod- ucts. It is no longer called the “Campbell’s Labels for Education” program because there are so many other prod- ucts involved now. When recycling packag- ing, look first for the Labels for Education logo and clip the UPC code. You’ll find these labels on a huge variety of products, including Pace, Campbell’s, Pepperidge Farm, Bic, Prego, Swanson’s, V8 and more. Send the label to your child’s teacher anytime throughout the school year. There are also collection boxes at the Siuslaw Library in Florence and in the Siuslaw Elementary School Office. Remember — it’s the UPC code that counts with this program, and there are no expiration dates. You can also earn double points for area schools by registering your Fred Meyer and Safeway loyalty cards at www.elabelsforeducation .com. That way, you can earn points when you buy the product and then again when your child turns in the actual labels. —Submitted by Florence Area PTA Coordinator Button Watkins Become certified to carry a concealed handgun Oct. 29 For anyone planning to pur- chase a handgun for the pur- pose of carrying a concealed firearm, the state of Oregon requires class and certification prior to applying for a permit.

Curtain has been a Hunter Education chief instructor for 10 years, with monthly classes at the Vancouver Trap Club. He has also been a college instructor for 15 years, with concealed carry classes offered twice a semester at both Mt. Hood and Lane Community College. The class begins with a review of Washington Firearm Laws and how to obtain a Washington Concealed Carry Permit, and then Oregon Laws and how to obtain an Oregon Concealed Carry Permit (including a training certifi- cate). Classes will be available at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. Class runs three hours. The cost is $45, and payment can be made in cash or check at the class. An Oregon driver’s license is all students need to bring. Prior to class, the new NRA Personal Protection Outside the Home video will be pre- sented, although not required viewing.

She wrote a play titled “The Brave Little Women,” which was later performed under the title “Chicago” and opened on Broadway in 1926. It was made into a silent movie in 1927, and in 1942 it became a movie called “Roxie Hart,” starring Ginger Rogers. Bob Fosse, with John Kander and Fred Ebb, created “Chicago: A Musical Vaudeville,” which opened on Broadway in 1975. The 1996 revival of “Chicago” is the longest-run- ning American musical in Broadway history, and is the second longest-running musi- LRP cal of all time (The Phantom of the Opera holds first place). Chicago remains, almost 100 years later, a uniquely American story of murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery and treachery. The iconic musical score includes one of the most famous opening numbers, “All That Jazz,” along with show- stoppers such as “Mr. Cellophane” — performed by Jacob Ternyik, “Razzle Dazzle” and “Cell Block Tango.” To keep up on the latest details of the production and view its travel deals, visit www.lrpproductions.org.
