Doug Mishler in today’s lecture told of Capone’s brief but bloody story which was a flamboyant slice of American history, as Al dominated the social & cultural narrative of Chicago and the nation during prohibition. Capone always maintained that he was not really a criminal, he was just a businessman who supplied the booze Americans wanted during the roaring 20’s.

Lucille Ball live at the Firehouse!

Historian and actress Leslie Goddard brought Lucille to life, paying tribute to both the true comic legend and the real woman behind the myth. ​In the 1950’s and 60’s , comedienne Lucille Ball captured the hearts of television audiences across the nation with her wacky hijinks and fearless enthusiasm. Off-screen, she and her real-life husband Desi Arnaz launched their own television studio. Leslie Goddard demonstrated what it meant when a TV star’s onscreen legend clashed with her offscreen reality.
