The party was getting rough The radio blared, the bootleg booze flowed freely, the September heat mounted, glazing the drunken, lusting faces with sweat. In the center of the floor, two half-nude showgirls argued over their obvious charms, their voices rising above the din. The place: a San Francisco hotel room. The time: 1921, the beginning of the roaring decade, the heyday of Valentino, Barrymore, Chaplin— H and a foolish, roly-poly, $5,000-a-week comic named Fatty Arbuckle. As the party built toward a raucous frenzy, Arbuckle, clad in pajamas, led a slender, pretty girl into . a bedroom and locked the door. After several minutes of silence, a nerve-splitting scream brought the party to a halt. And that scream, from a ravaged young girl, made headlines around the world as the famous fat man went to trial for the rape and death of the lovely Virginia Rappe.
