Date Sold 11/24/2020Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Stage Play Souvenir Program Book (measures 9" x 12" [23 x 30 cm]; 17 pages) (Learn More) Cotton Club was a legendary New York City night club in Harlem from 1923 to 1935 and in the Theatre District in Midtown from 1935 to 1940 (it closed in 1940, due to increasing rents, and The Latin Quarter took its place). The club was a "whites-only" establishment until 1935, even though it featured many of the greatest black entertainers of the era including: Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Lena Horne, Dorothy Dandridge, The Nicholas Brothers, and many, many more! In 1935, when it moved to the Theatre District, it opened to black patrons as well as white. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we know for certain this program dates from between 1936 and 1940, because it is from when the club was located on Broadway, and one of the articles in the program references The Nicholas Brothers earlier starring in The Big Broadcast of 1936. It likely dates from 1937 to 1939. Like similar clubs in France, it featured beautiful black women who were barely dressed, and the cover shows art of a completely nude woman, and one of the interior pages shows a woman with a see-through top. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that we have pictured the front cover and an interior 2-page spread from this program. You can use these images to determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image, but realize that there are some other pages you are not seeing. Also note that this item contains some nudity, so we have placed a white bar over those areas for those who are bothered by such images. Of course, the actual item does not have the white bars. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
