BOOTLEGGERS' BALL
WEEKLY FUN FACT

1929 marked the end of a
period known in American
history as the Roaring Twenties
after the Wall Street Crash of
1929 ushered in a worldwide
Great Depression. The first
Academy Awards for film
were held in Los Angeles
in 1929, with MGM’s The
Broadway Melody winning the
first-ever Best Picture Oscar.

Stay tuned to learn more
Prohibition-era trivia -- and get
details about The Bootleggers’
Ball, coming May 19, 2012.
