Framed Print of Two Fashionable Black Dancers at the Cotton Club, History, Nostalgia
The Cotton Club was a whites-only establishment even though it featured many of the best black entertainers and jazz musicians of the era. Eventually, in deference to a request by Duke Ellington, the club slightly relaxed its policy of excluding black customers. The Cotton Club closed for good in 1940, under pressure from higher rents, changing tastes and a federal investigation into tax evasion by Manhattan nightclub owners.The club imposed subtle color bar on the chorus girls whom the club presented in skimpy outfits: they had to be at least 5 feet 6 inches tall, light-skinned, and under 21 years of age. The skin color of the male dancers was more varied. © New York Public Library / Science Source
