COLLECTION
Part 3: Personal photo
album of special appearance by Ms. Arthur while in Chicago.
These are my most treasured photos, because I took them
myself. Some are not the greatest shots, because I was
just snapping away... but they are all priceless to me!
I was very fortunate to get two opportunities to see Bea
out and about in Chicago... thanks to the friends who
tipped me off that Bea would be appearing at a select,
few bars. I did miss her appearance at the Cubs game,
however, I took some screen shots from the local news.
Enjoy! |
After
seeing Bea's show for the 3rd time on her closing night
here in Chicago, we darted out of the venue and ran
to her dressing trailer that was parked outside.
Soon, a crowd formed, waiting for Bea to appear.
Knowing that Bea would be going to another local
gay cabaret soon after, I knew that she wouldn't
have time for people to come in and visit with her
like she does sometimes. However, she did come out
and great everyone warmly. The crowd sang the theme
to the golden girls to her when she was inside, so
when someone asked if she liked their singing, she
asked everyone to sing in again! Bea then signed
people's pamphlets from the show, while I snapped
these photos:
About
30 minutes from outside her dressing trailer, she walked
into Voltaires, where we were waiting for her ahead (thank
god for city cab drivers... they get you to you destination
FAST!)
Here is Billy getting settled in:
This
is the cabaret troup performing for Bea, as she sits at
her table, drinking her vodka on the rocks!
After the troupes performance, Bea gets up and performs
a number from her show, "Some People". Now, this
was after a few drinks, and boy did she get into it! I
thought for a second that she was going to hurt herself
:)
