AF-1112: Showgirls and Spotlight: The Hollywood Cabaret on Broadway | Postcards from the Past


This one caught my eye for a completely different reason than most of the postcards I’ve written about. It’s not a quiet street scene or a charming old building—it’s people. A whole lineup of them. Dancers, performers, maybe a few singers too, all standing in formation in front of a dramatic backdrop. They’re dressed in full costume—fringe, sequins, feathers—ready to perform, or maybe just wrapping up another night’s set.

The caption at the bottom reads: The Ensemble of “The Famous Hollywood Cabaret” Restaurant, Broadway at 48th St., New York City. It says a lot in just a few words. This wasn’t just a restaurant—it was a place where dinner came with a full night of entertainment. And this postcard doesn’t just show a building or a business—it captures a whole slice of nightlife in one of New York’s most legendary neighborhoods.
