See the 1928 version of Chicago, starring Phyllis Haver, Julia Faye, May Robson and Eugene Pallette. Directed by Frank Upson, this Cecil B. DeMille production was originally a stage play that became the film Roxie Hart, the Broadway musical Chicago and then the Oscar-winning Best Picture Chicago.
In this 1920s silent version, a Chicago-land flapper shoots her lover and sees her murder trial as a gateway to stardom.
Admission is $6; $3 for children under 12 and $5 for Hollywood Heritage members. For more information, call 805-370-2301.
