Today in Chicago History: The Beatles play two shows at Comiskey Park, and scarcely a note was heard
Here's a look back at what happened in the Chicago area on Aug. 20, according to the Tribune's archives. Is an important event missing from this date? Email us. Weather records (from the National Weather Service, Chicago) How George Halas' columns for the Chicago Tribune, a field goal and a charity game helped the Chicago Bears prove their legitimacy in 19351948: The National League champion Chicago Cardinals beat the College All-Stars 28-0 in front of 101,220 fans at Soldier Field. Chicago White Sox pitchers have thrown 20 no-hitters since 1902 — including 3 perfect games. Relive them all here.1957: Bob Keegan — at 37 — became the oldest player to throw a no-hitter for the Chicago White Sox. The Sox beat the Washington Senators 6-0 in the second game of a doubleheader at Comiskey Park. 1961: The international press called it 'a stunning upset.' Three American teenagers scored a Wightman Cup victory at Saddle & Cycle Club over veteran British tennis stars Ann Haydon, Cristine Truman, Angela Mortimer and Deidre Catt. Billie Jean King on today's tennis, the media and a new play at Chicago Shakespeare about her lifeThe American teens were Karen Hantze and Justina Bricka, both 18, and bouncy 17-year-old Billie Jean Moffitt, who spurred on her own game by muttering 'Come on, baby' to herself. Moffitt later played under her married name, King. The American teens had lost to the same Britons at Wimbledon earlier in the year. They said that playing the established British stars before huge crowds helped them gain experience and confidence for the Wightman matches in Chicago. 1965: After arriving quietly at Chicago's Midway Airport, the Beatles played a day-night doubleheader at Comiskey Park. More than 50,000 incessantly screaming fans drowned out the Beatles during the 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. shows. John Lennon, then 24, was not annoyed. 'They pay good prices to get in (top tickets, $5.50). Who are we to say whether or not they should scream?' A solid line of officers sat shoulder to shoulder, with their backs to the infield, to prevent teens from taking second base, where the Beatles performed on a plywood bandstand. Paul McCartney singing 'I'm Down' pumped up the volume of the screamfest. Based on that alone, Tribune reviewer Will Leonard surmised that this was 'easily the artistic success of the evening.' The take at the Comiskey gate was an estimated $150,000 to $160,000, compared with the year before at the Chicago Amphitheatre, when the Beatles had a reported $30,000 in ticket sales. After the concert the Beatles stopped at Margie's Candies in Bucktown for ice cream, recalled owner Peter Poulos Jr. 'They sat at the back booth and ordered Atomic Busters (banana splits standing up). They began singing, John was standing on the table. The place was packed. They stayed about an hour.' 1976: Polish Cardinal Karol Wojtyla led a group of bishops on a tour of the United States that included Chicago. He returned in October 1979 — then known as Pope John Paul II. 2014: The Chicago Cubs won 2-0 over the San Francisco Giants after 4½ innings and a 4-hour, 34-minute rain delay when the grounds crew mishandled the tarp. The Giants appealed the ruling, won, but lost 2-1 a day later.

How ‘Beatles ‘64' Remastered the Legendary Band's Live Performances for New Documentary
At this point, restoring famed Beatles performances is familiar territory for Giles Martin. The producer, son of legendary 'fifth Beatle' George Martin, has worked on Fab Four material for nearly 20 years since he first oversaw the music with his father on Love — the 2006 Beatles Cirque du Soleil show — subsequently producing everything from anniversary editions of albums to the so-called 'last Beatles song' with 2023's 'Now and Then.' More from The Hollywood Reporter How 'The Day of the Jackal' Team Brought a "Semi-Derelict" Border Building Back to Life: "This Was a Huge Undertaking" 'Awards Chatter' Pod: Seth Rogen on 'The Studio' and How It Was Shaped by 'Freaks and Geeks,' 'Superbad,' 'The Green Hornet' and the Sony Hack How Costumes From Shows Like 'Emily in Paris' and 'Sirens' Illustrate That Fashion, Like Friendships, Is Complementary and Competitive Now, Martin has secured his third Emmy nomination for sound mixing for his work on the documentary Beatles '64, and he's looking to earn a second victory following his 2022 win for The Beatles: Get Back. This latest nomination is both affirming and surprising, Martin tells THR, given that it's one of the most technically difficult archival Beatles projects he's taken on to date. 'The material we had, as far as audio quality goes, was so bad, and we had to do so much work to make it listenable,' he says. 'The fact that it's being recognized at all is a surprising and a massive honor.' The same machine-assisted-learning tech that powered Peter Jackson's Get Back and 'Now and Then' went into Beatles '64, with Martin pulling 60-year-old live recordings from the earlier days of Beatlemania and meticulously extracting individual stems of Ringo Starr's drums or John Lennon's vocals and enhancing them while looking to keep their authentic sound. 'What's fascinating is we couldn't have done this work, say, two years ago, [until] what we did with Jackson's team and Get Back,' Martin says. 'It's a bit like knowing there are amazing artifacts beneath the soil in Pompeii, and scanning them and seeing if you can bring them to the surface. That's the kind of work we're doing.' Martin likens the job to time travel, calling the process both fascinating and 'a bit eerie.' He recalls one moment pulling vocals on Lennon from their 1964 Washington, D.C., concert at the Washington Coliseum: 'I was thinking to myself, 'Well, this is slightly unnatural because these vocals I'm hearing could've only existed if you were right next to his mouth that day.' ' Martin emphasizes that the work 'has to be done for a reason,' given the responsibility that comes with restoring the archives. Overall, the goal is to have a subtle enough touch that no audience would notice he did much at all. 'If I'm playing you a mix I've done, the last thing I want you to think about is what my mix was like, that it sounds like me — that's how you know it wasn't done right,' he says. 'I want you to just think about how the song makes you feel.' This story first appeared in an August stand-alone issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.

‘Bridgerton' Production Designer Alison Gartshore Dissects That Beautiful Botanical Ball: 'It Pushed Everyone to the Limit'
Bridgerton production designer Alison Gartshore's goal for season three of the Netflix romance was to maintain the established visual world of the series while pushing new boundaries. One of the ways she and her team did that was with new, elaborate ballroom sets sprinkled throughout the season. She discusses with THR the botanical ball in episode six that required heaps of faux florals and a mechanical pop-up garden to wow the queen. For the Love of Romance Season three revolves around Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton's (Luke Newton) love story. Here, they dance in front of the opened floral pop-up garden that the team only had three days to complete, resulting in a dance of their own between departments. 'Every time the special effects people needed the box opening, we couldn't work on the outside to get it ready,' Gartshore says of its construction. 'We had to work with them and stand off when they wanted it open, and then when it was closed, we all jumped in with our paintbrushes and scalpels and glue, and it was just one of those things that we had to get done.' More from The Hollywood Reporter How 'Beatles '64' Remastered the Legendary Band's Live Performances for New Documentary How 'The Day of the Jackal' Team Brought a "Semi-Derelict" Border Building Back to Life: "This Was a Huge Undertaking" 'Awards Chatter' Pod: Seth Rogen on 'The Studio' and How It Was Shaped by 'Freaks and Geeks,' 'Superbad,' 'The Green Hornet' and the Sony Hack High Society Here, we see the closed centerpiece before it opens, surrounded by walls of paintings that Gartshore commissioned from the in-house illustrator. The team chose florals specifically from the 18th and 19th centuries, painted 12 different pieces and tiled them with variation, making sure they didn't distract from the actors' performances. The botanical ball was built on a stage at a film studio on the outskirts of London, while other balls this season were shot on location in and around the English capital. The Switch-Up From start to finish, setting up the ballroom for the botanical ball took 10 to 12 weeks. Originally, it was supposed to be called the butterfly ball, but showrunner Jess Brownell realized she had to leave the butterfly theme for later in the season. Explains Gartshore: 'It left us very little time, and then she dropped a bombshell that she also needed a moment of spectacle when the queen arrives.' And that's where the idea for the pop-up floral centerpiece was born. Finishing Touches 'We shoot a scene for roughly a week, so maintaining florals over that period of time in hot studio conditions wouldn't work,' explains Gartshore of the choice to use faux florals, of which Bridgerton has plenty that are stocked for reuse. Tucked into the corner of every ballroom set are the show's home economists who produce cakes that are, unfortunately, just props. Starting From Scratch The unfolding petal centerpiece was supposed to be straightforward, but 'of course, the simplest things are never easy to do,' jokes Gartshore. The structure, which took a week to assemble, was built out of painted paper petals that would unfold and reveal a whole garden inside, and the special effects team engineered all the mechanics to ensure that the leaves opened at the same time. 'There's no CGI. It's all practical effects,' she says. 'It pushed everyone to the limit.' This story first appeared in an August stand-alone issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
