Talk:Sister Carrie

Split

• I agree with the article-split suggestion: The section about the movie should be moved to Carrie (1952 film). J. Van Meter 17:06, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• I think it should only be split if more information is added. Scottandrewhutchins 00:02, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Hurstwood's place of employment

The article mentions Hurstwood's place of employment at Fitzgerald and Moy's. I have just finished reading this book (ISBN 0140188282). The owners of the resort are mentioned as Hannah and Hogg and to be exact, Hurstwood managed their "Adams Street Place". There is no reference to Fitzgerald and Moy's. A quick search confirms:

Could someone please verify this?

In the Gutenberg version of 'Sister Carrie', it reads "At Rector's Drouet had met Mr. G. W. Hurstwood, manager of Fitzgerald and Moy's." Note also "His [Drouet's] preference for Fitzgerald and Moy's Adams Street place was another yard off the same cloth." Vamsee is right about the Google quotes, however. After some googling, I found this quote on the web: "In the 'original', Hurstwood's resort is Hannah and Hogg's, rather than Fitzgerald and Moy's. Hannah and Hogg's were actual bars throughout Chicago, apparently continuing to exist through Prohibition."
