Editing Texas Guinan (section)

== Final years and death==
During the [[Great Depression]], she took her show on the road.  She attempted to move to Europe, but [[Scotland Yard]] threatened to board her ship if she tried to land in England, where she was on their list of "[[List of people banned from entering the United Kingdom|barred aliens]]". The show was banned from France under labor technicalities. Guinan had a contract with a Paris club, but French employment laws dissuaded non-citizens from working in France. She turned this to her advantage by launching the satirical revue ''Too Hot for Paris'' upon her return to  [[New York City|NY]], in  1933.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OI3dXCUWBs Texas Guinan Back In NY (1933)]</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Texas Guinan Defies British To Bar Her When She Tries To Land Land|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/135325514/?terms=Texas+Guinan|access-date=April 3, 2018|work=Democrat and Chronicle |url-access=subscription |via=Newspapers.com|date=May 23, 1931|page=1, col. 6}}; {{cite news|title=Texas Can't Alight to See Paris, France Rules|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/79520955/?terms=Texas+Guinan|access-date=April 3, 2018|work=Macon Chronicle-Herald |url-access=subscription |via=Newspapers.com|date=May 29, 1931|page=1, col. 3}}</ref><ref name=1933Trib>{{cite news|title=Texas Guinan, Night Club Queen, Dies|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/355254838|access-date=April 3, 2018|work=Chicago Tribune |url-access=subscription |via=Newspapers.com|date=November 6, 1933|pages=1, 6}}</ref>

While on the road with ''Too Hot for Paris'', she contracted [[Amoebiasis|amoebic dysentery]] in Chicago,<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcCHFpn8SXM | title=Texas Guinan : Queen of the Nightclubs | website=[[YouTube]] }}</ref> Illinois, during the epidemic [[Century of Progress#Amoebic dysentery outbreak|outbreak]] at the Congress Hotel during the run of the Chicago World's Fair. The epidemic was traced to tainted water. She fell ill in [[Vancouver]], British Columbia, and died there on November 5, 1933, age 49, exactly one month before Prohibition was repealed; 7,500 people attended her funeral. Bandleader [[Paul Whiteman]] was a pallbearer along with two of her former lawyers and writer [[Heywood Broun]].{{sfn|Sizer|2008|p=103}}

Guinan is interred at the [[Calvary Cemetery (Queens, New York)|Calvary Cemetery in Queens, New York]]. Her family donated a tabernacle in her name to St. Patrick's Church in Vancouver in recognition of Father Louis Forget's attentions during her last hours. When the original church was demolished in 2004, the tabernacle was preserved for the new church built on the site. She was survived by both of her parents. Her father was 81 years old at his death on May 14, 1935, and her mother died at age 101 in 1959. The newspaper obituary listed his place of birth as [[Sherbrooke]], Quebec, Canada, and his profession as a wholesale grocer.<ref>{{cite news|title=Michael Guinan|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/52841160/?terms=Michael+Guinan|access-date=April 3, 2018|work=The Brooklyn Daily Eagle |url-access=subscription |via=Newspapers.com|date=May 15, 1935|page=19, col. 5}}</ref>
