Larry Fay
Larry Fay (1888 – January 1, 1933) was one of the early rumrunners of the Prohibition Era in New York City. He made a half a million dollars bringing whiskey into New York from Canada. With his profits he bought into a taxi cab company and later opened a nightclub, the El Fey, on West 47th Street in Manhattan in 1924, featuring Texas Guinan as the emcee and a floorshow produced by Nils Granlund.〔Granlund, Nils T.,"Blondes, Brunettes, and Bullets", David McKay, New York, 1957〕 In the 1920s, he married Evelyn Crowell, a Broadway showgirl. 〔''Paddy Whacked: The Untold Story of the Irish American Gangster'' by T.J. English, pg. 122〕
Fay, who had a record of forty-nine arrests but no felony convictions, was involved in several enterprises in the ensuing years, and was said to have amassed and lost a fortune. He was made a partner of the Casa Blanca Club, where he was shot four times after a 1932 New Year's Eve celebration by the club's doorman Edward Maloney who had just learned his pay was being reduced by Fay to accommodate a new employee.〔Oakland (CA) Tribune, "Racketeer, Aiding Idle, Shot Dead by Doorman", January 2, 1933, page 2.〕 〔''Nightclub City: Politics and Amusement in Manhattan'' by Burton W. Peretti pg. 108.〕
On December 15, 1960, ''The Untouchables (1959 TV series)'' during its second season did The Larry Fay Story. This episode (the 37th for the series) dealt with Larry Fay's activities in the New York City milk price-fixing case.〔The Untouchables; The Larry Fay Story on TV.com (http://www.tv.com/the-untouchables/the-larry-fay-story/episode/77083/summary.html?tag=ep_list;title;39)〕〔The Untouchables; The Larry Fay Story on the IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0737815/)〕 Also, Fay's life served as the basis for James Cagney's character, Eddie Bartlett, in the 1939 gangster film, ''The Roaring Twenties''.
