It also included great wealth, overnight for a few and alot of need for alcohol in Puritan America which decided to prohibit the sale and production of alcohol.
There have been several movies made, one with Robert Redford and the other with Leonardo Di Caprio. This will be a ballet production by a professional city ballet company. This is about the Jazz era and should be fun to watch as the dancers show off thier technique adapted to another style.
