‘C HICAGO ’
It is almost time again for
the Siuslaw Public Library’s
23rd annual “Hang It All.”
All artists and craftspeople

whether professional, beginner
or in-between — to display
their talent in a popular com-
munity exhibit.

ture a “People’s Choice”
award. Voting will be conduct-

recognition in the library

The Last Resort Players
(LRP) has announced that its
fall production will be the
musical, “Chicago,” based on
a play of the same name by
reporter Maurine Dallas
Watkins.
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.
Watkins’ reporting was
both sensational and satirical
and it was clear from her
coverage that she believed

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.

THIS YEAR ’ S FALL MUSICAL FROM
COURTESY PHOTO
Cast members get into character for the Last Resort Players’
fall production of “Chicago: A Musical Vaudeville.” Front
row: Polly Fleming, Jennifer Marus, Sabrina Hand and
Genevieve Meltzer. Back row: James Bonisteel, Chantal
Guzman, Ceasar Castillo, Erin Reinke and Jim Wellington.
many of the women were
guilty and they had gamed the
system.
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.”
