The Latin Quarter

From Burlyqnell's Tumblr blog.  Her description:

"Latin Quarter: vintage postcard
The NYC club was located at 1580 Broadway at 4th Street. The wedge-shaped building faced in on Times Square and was as famous for the iconic Coca-a-cola sign that hung on it, as for the popular nightclub it housed. The club was so successful, that Lou went on to open Latin Quart clubs in several other cities, but he left the business in the 1950s."

(Trivia Note:  The proprietor, Lou Walters, was Baba Wawa's father. )

Nana 1926

You might think this is a manufactured gif of the cancan from Jean Renoir's Nana from 1926.  But you'd be wrong.  Check out the video below.  The outer limits of nepotism are explored there (Catherine Hessling (Nana) was Renoir's wife at the time.)   This is Exhibit A in the case against speeding up the filming of cancans.

The above gif is found on the "Silents! Please" blog:
