Joe E. Lewis Hotel

            A friend of Chicago gangsters, Joe E. Lewis lived in room 332 here at The New Commonwealth Hotel in 1927.  He was a singer and comedian who performed at the famous Green Mill nightclub.  Shortly after Lewis decided to leave and perform at the New Rendez-Vous Cafe, Lewis was attacked in his room here. He was stabbed several times, had his tongue severed and throat slashed.  Lewis survived the attack and continued to perform.

Frank Sinatra played Joe E. Lewis in the 1957 fim about the incident called "The Joker Is Wild."
