A while back, I came across this cartoon history of James Cagney. I noticed it because it mentions Beggars of Life. Cagney starred in the stage production of Jim Tully's book which played in New York City in 1925. Louise Brooks, together with Charlie Chaplin, attended a performance.
I noticed this piece as well because it also mentions Beggars of Life. Tully's book was well known in the 1920's
