"In the summer of 1930 a granddaughter of the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria [Archduchess Elisabeth Marie of Austria] spent a few weeks in America visiting New York, Washington, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Chicago, and on her return to Vienna told her friends that she considered the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago the most fascinating place she had visited on her tour. This great lady, for she is just that, returned to her country disappointed in only one particular and that was that none of the people whom she met could introduce her to Al Capone."
From: Chicago Welcomes You By Alfred Hoyt Granger (1933)
