Well, only because you begged... :)

Do a Google search (use quotations this way: "1930's""nightclub") and you'll get some hits on the web search. From the Google menu bar at the top, be sure and check Images, too. You'll see lots of vintage shots and will likely find Flicker or PhotoBucket sites with more.


Done hours of Google image searches.

Its not free - unless you do an interlibrary loan - but if you look on Amazon, there are few books about old nightclubs. Take down the title and author and go to your local library for interlibrary load help.

Florentine Gardens opened in Hollywood in the 1930's. Here is a YouTube photo montage clip (from the 40's though).

There is a scene inside the Coconut Grove from '33 in Jean Harlow's "Bombshell" too. It is on YouTube too. I am sure you can find still photos if you look.

The easiest way to find photos inside clubs is to learn the names of the clubs and then search by name.

Thanks I'll try those ideas.
