“Emporia’s Speakeasy Hostess: Belle Livingstone”

Lynda Schreck of Emporia presents this profile on native-Emporia “gold digger,” Isabel Graham. Using a nom de plume, Belle Livingstone was a show girl, a courtesan of the European rich and royal, and later, a high-end NYC speakeasy hostess who served a short sentence in the Harlem Prison for Women. Her adoptive father was the founding editor of what became William Allen White’s newspaper and a former Emporia mayor. Join us on the porch of Red Rocks.
