African American show girls (a la The Cotton Club) performing at a Chicago nightclub with the Boyd Adkins Band playing in the background. It appears to be an integrated club with both Black and White patrons. However, it does at first glance appear that the best seats were reserved for the latter. Chicago, 1941.
