In the midst of the Great Depression, an elite group of New Yorkers lived seemingly unaffected by the economic calamity. They were writers, playwrights, journalists, artists, composers, singers, actors, adventurers and socialites. Newspaperman Maury Paul dubbed them the Cafe Society. It was the time of Prohibition, speakeasies and exclusive nightclubs for the smart set to see and be seen. Their lives were the stuff of newspaper columns and magazine articles, eagerly read by millions of Americans who wanted to forget the Depression. This book describes the emergence of Cafe Society from New York's old society families, and the rise of the new creative class.

The Baron de Cabrol’s legendary scrapbooks capture a golden era of glamour and reveal the sheer elegance and decadence of the cosmopolitan café society. The glamorous aristocrats Daisy and Fred de Cabrol formed one of the most prominent twentieth-century high-society couples on the international scene.

Reproducing pages from the scrapbooks crafted with beauty and wit by the Baron de Cabrol between 1938 and the 1960s, this volume reveals the privileged and extravagant world of the café society. Through collages, watercolors, and previously unpublished archival documents, readers will discover the exceptional journey through the golden age of elegance and art.

Aristocrats, millionaires, painters, fashion designers, choreographers, and musicians of the café society fox-trot aboard cruise liners and mingle at dazzling parties in Paris. Exclusive, extravagant, and beautiful, these cosmopolitan socialites were the patrons who galvanized the phenomenal success of the greatest creators of the early twentieth century.

Combining elegance and fantasy, the members of the café society enjoyed a sophisticated, avant-garde lifestyle. Some of the century’s most original talents—from Cole Porter to Yves Saint Laurent—stepped into the limelight via the café society. Through archival photographs and period documents, this volume recounts in historical detail the intrigue and impact generated around the world by this stylish jet-set.

This thesis provides an analytical overview of the first completely racially integrated nightclub in the United States known as the Caf Society. The establishment opened in New York City in December of 1938 under the proprietorship of a young Jewish-American entrepreneur by the name of Barney Josephson, who had been inspired by the stinging political commentary in the cabarets he had visited on a trip to Europe in the interwar period. Having found success by tapping into the popularity of the Left-wing of those sympathetic to the liberal New Deal of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Caf Society was essentially a microcosm of the nations attitude toward the leftist policies that were a response to the Great Depression. The Caf Society offered African-American artists a place to genuinely express themselves and an opportunity for the broader African-American population to participate in the nightlife that before that had then been a luxury exclusive to white people. The names of seminal American artists who got their start, or performed, at the Caf Society include Billie Holiday, Josh White, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane. That enthusiasm eventually waned, however, as the Red Scare set in following the Second World War. In 1948, Josephson was labeled as a communist in the press after his brother Leon-- who loaned Barney the money he needed to initially open the Caf Society-- refused to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee. As a result, business began to decline and Josephson was forced to sell his beloved nightclub.

The story of the song that foretold a movement and the Lady who dared sing it. Billie Holiday's signature tune, 'Strange Fruit', with its graphic and heart-wrenching portrayal of a lynching in the South, brought home the evils of racism as well as being an inspiring mark of resistance. The song's powerful, evocative lyrics - written by a Jewish communist schoolteacher - portray the lynching of a black man in the South. In 1939, its performance sparked controversy (and sometimes violence) wherever Billie Holiday went. Not until sixteen years later did Rosa Parks refuse to yield her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama bus. Yet 'Strange Fruit' lived on, and Margolick chronicles its effect on those who experienced it first-hand: musicians, artists, journalists, intellectuals, students, budding activists, even the waitresses and bartenders who worked the clubs.
