1971WRCLIT83424Los Angeles: Robert James de Maria 1971. 183pp. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript printed on rectos only. Punched and bound in unlettered stiff card binder. Title leaf pulled at top binder clasp otherwise very near fine. Through p. 38 a partial preliminary draft of the screenplay and from p. 39 to conclusion a treatment for an interesting but evidently unsuccessful effort to translate to the screen the historical story of "Juanita" of Downieville a Mexican-American woman who was accused of murder and lynched in Downieville California in July of 1851 -- the first and only known woman lynched in Gold Rush era California. Details of "Juanita's" life up to her death including her actual name remained sketchy in early historical accounts but research into her case in the mid 1970s by Martha Cotera established that her actual name was likely Josefa Segovia and that she was around 26 at the time of her lynching. The Anglo press of the time evidently referred to her as "Juanita" based on the stereotypical shorthand portrayal of Mexican women in the press. Chappel or occasionally "Chappell" is credited with the screenplay of at least one film that saw production the 1970 Richard Boone and Leslie Caron B-western MADRON as well as script work for such television shows as HAWAIIAN EYE and 26 MEN. The ultimate fate of this project is not indicated in the present material and thus can only be speculated upon. However given the controversial and sensational character of the subject as well as the vague and often contradictory historical accounts of the actual events it is just possible that studios had no appetite for handling such a highly-charged topic in this sensationalized fashion at a point in time when the Chicano Movement and the Chicana Feminist Movement were gathering momentum.
