The Roaring Twenties were ending but Prohibition was in full force. Hazel and Charlie had settled into a bungalow they’d bought in Los Angeles just as the Great Crash of 1929 hit. Although their children were nearly grown, there were still sad memories of the long search for their missing child, Delcena.Malcolm had enrolled in college with the help of his mentor, their old friend Mildred Witherspoon. He’d also kindled a romance with an underage flapper named Eileen, who was about to make things complicated because she was a hoofer - a dancer - who hung out in speakeasies with show business types and gangsters who liked their hooch - illegal liquor.Studio bus driver Edythe, Eileen’s mother, had managed her daughter’s career on the vaudeville circuit since she was three, and had even managed to get her a small role in The Kid with Charlie Chaplin. But the goal was Eileen’s big break in the movies, and when Edythe saw a chance for her in a film with big stars, they took a chance. She should have said no.
