RISQUE LATIN QUARTER ~ WONDER CABARET ~ TIMES SQUARE NEW YORK ~ c. - 1942

Description: Scarce early original promotional photographic post card for “The Famous LATIN QUARTER in the Heart of Times Square”. Lou Walters, father of Barbara Walters, opened the club in 1942 at 1580 Broadway at 47th Street in a landmark three-story wedge shaped building that marked the north end of Times Square and was famed for the signs on the building's south side where Broadway and Seventh Avenue cross. Its most famous sign was the neon Coca-Cola sign.[citation needed] Prior to Walters, the building was home to the Palais Royale with the Moulin Rouge in the basement in the 1920s. Norman Bel Geddes had designed the interior. Following this it was occupied by the Cotton Club after it left Harlem from 1936 to 1940. Walters opened branches of the nightclub in other cities and was to sell the Boston club to Michael Redstone, father of Sumner Redstone. During Walters's tenure, the club featured big name acts like Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Patti Page, the Carter Family, Sophie Tucker, Mae West, Diahann Carroll, Milton Berle, the Andrews Sisters, Frankie Laine and Ted Lewis along with chorus girls and concluded with a can can dance. Walters left the business in the 1950s. Earl Wilson described the club under its new management in 1964 as "more expensive" than the Copacabana - "but then the show's a bit bigger, nakeder and longer." In 1969, during a strike by the chorus girls, the club was padlocked for not paying rent. Post Card measures 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches and is in excellent condition with the exception of a bend in the lower right corner (see scan). Back has information about the club.
