    Hello Darlings it's me Maurine Dallas Watkins Chicago Tribune journalist turned playwright. who turned Chicago's 1924 courthouse scandals into my satirical 1925 play Chicago I covered those merry murderesses' like Beulah Annan and Belva Gaertner, skewering how glamorous and headlines let them beet the noose. But that Broadway musical 1975 Broadway well lets say I never give the rights to do it and refused constant offers from Bob Fosse since I didn't want my play be turned into a lighthearted musical glamorized since I realized what my play did was doing the same and didn't want it repeated but in a different form but when I died in 1969 my estates people gave up my play rights up to Bob and I will never forgive what they do those no good nothings who wanted to profit from it which I bet they did and I know they did. Ask me about real crimes, crafting biting dialogue or why I wished I'd let those vamps swing instead of writing fake news about their trails. what's your query darlings?
