-What I am planning to add to this Wikipedia page is basic history of how it was started. Also wanted to add how media, films and celebrities has affected the Cafe society throughout the years. A movie was actually made about this topic this year and I want to add information on that. I also have a friend whose mother is going to Paris this month and have asked her to take photos of fashionable cafes and restaurants. I plan to look up certain places for her to photograph for me so I can add it onto my page. I also wanted to write about history of the founders of this society and all their little secrets and rituals that come with being in this society. I want to uncover as much of it as I can to really bring light to this topic. I find this topic so posh and interesting that in the 1920's high societies like this probably changed the game for "social fraternities". I want to also write about the aesthetic of the people who were part of this society and what were the credentials to be aloud in. I have a lot on my plate and this is just the tip of what I want to write about. The more I dig deep into this subject the more sub topics I will probably be adding onto this page.

-I want to add more depth into the sub-topic of the film that just came out that has received loads of attention. Also would like to understand its role with the Prohibition and its link to photo journalism. I want to add photos from exhibitions people have done based on this topic. For example how making a cafe society in a glamour inspired way through fashion and wealth made prohibition bars more appealing to the upper class citizens.It was filled with many socialites who inspired a new form of music, art, and architecture through quiet kept secrets like these cafe society bars. As well I want to go hopefully deeper on the photographers who were the "leaders" of showing the world these societies. Like Jerome Zerbe and his book illustrating scenes and moments within these posh clubs. Through articles that I have read that after this golden age photo journalism has died and that it had a prime moment during these posh gatherings to show the "lower class" what it was like to live the way they did. Also would like to elaborate on some of the club/restaurants the Wikipedia page already mentions like El Morocco, the Stork Club, 21 Club etc. Why where those mentioned? I want to find find out why they were spoken about. Lastly the already written Wikipedia page discuss terms and lingo used to describe people who visit cafes and parties in restaurants rather than in their homes. I want to add depth to that, and understand why were these terms chosen for those types of peoples. What does "Jet Set" mean and why does it relate to cafe goers. Hopefully I will end this project with many sub topics to really go in depth about what Cafe Society is and who are the mysterious people who where about of that trend.Sfern200 (talk) 01:31, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

"Lingo" in The Scene

• "The Bright Young Things, or Bright Young People,[1][2] was a nickname given by the tabloid press to a group of bohemian young aristocrats and socialites in 1920s London.[3] They threw elaborate fancy dress parties, went on elaborate treasure hunts through nighttime London, drank heavily and used drugs—all of which was enthusiastically covered by journalists such as Tom Driberg.[4] They inspired a number of writers, including Nancy Mitford (Highland Fling), Anthony Powell (A Dance to the Music of Time), Henry Green (Party Going) and the poetJohn Betjeman (A Subaltern's Love Song). Evelyn Waugh's 1930 novel Vile Bodies, adapted as the 2003 film Bright Young Things, is a satirical look at this scene.[4]Cecil Beaton began his career in photography by documenting this set, of which he was a member."

Cafe Society: The Wrong Place for the Right People

Barney Josephson was a former shoe salesman who also opened two high-end night club in the prime time of race equality and the prohibition. Both nightclubs, which were documented as "historical", were opened up in New York between the years of 1938 and 1940. Both clubs called were named Cafe Society and Cafe Society (Uptown). He later wrote a bibliography called "Cafe Society: The Wrong Place for the Right People", which was about his first hand experiences running this radical nightclub, the interesting individuals he encountered, it's importance on race equality and it's direct influence on the Jazz community. The constant revolving doors of his nightclubs allowed many interesting thoughts, beliefs and values to be thrown under the same roof. An important variable that never changed was the immense amount of jazz musicians to walk through this doors. These two nightclubs were one of the few venues to allow interracial mix in the audience. He paved a way for musicians, actors and all races alike to join in and indulge in performances unlike no other. A few stars to have been seen in his club were Billie Holiday, Hazel Scott, Zero Mostel, Albert Ammons and Pete Johnson.

“Tell your friend to call it Café Society”

• Barney Josephson wanted a unique nightclub, nothing like anyone has seen before. No photographers allowed among the club-goers, and only fine art on the walls. Josephson asked his dear friend Sam Shaw to help choose the artists who would truly accomplish his dream for the nightclub. The artists were given absolute freedom, they had to choose their own space and let their creativity run wild. Each artist was paid $125 each and were supplied with canvases, panels and all the materials to work with. These individuals single handedly made the nightclub the hidden gem that it was soon to become.

1. Adolph Dehn- Was an artist whose advanced lithographs paved way for a new way of print-making.
2. Sam Berman- The originator of the trade mark used on the cover of the Esquire magazine. He sculpted the figured called “Esky” which was supposed to be a “wealthy club goer”
3. Ad Reinhardt- An abstract artist who painted a large mural for the club that satirized the current fashion.
4. Alice Stander- A really good artist who was married to the Hollywood actor Lionel Stander.
5. Abe Birnbaum- He discovered the legendary editor of the New Yorker magazine, Harold Ross.
6. Syd Hoff- A New Yorker cartoonist who later became a famous children’s book writer and illustrator.
7. John Groth- Was an art editor and cartoonist for the Esquire Magazine, who also drew political cartoons for the New Yorker magazine.
8. Gregor Duncan (artist)- He was a young inspiring artist.
9. Christina Malman- Famously drew over thirty-five New Yorker covers and over five hundred drawings for the magazine.
10. Colin Allen- Was the individual who captured the nightclub with his humorous newspaper ads and also designed the covers for the match-books given out within the club.

• At the time a well-known gossip columnist by the name of Cholly Knickerbocker would write about the wealthy, aristocratic crowds which he nicknamed “café society”. Barney Josephson’s friend Clare Boothe knew he wanted a political and social satire twist for the nightclub’s name and she jumped to the plate. “We’re calling this place Café Society. You guys can do anything you want to satirize the crowd and politics”-Barney Josephson.

Jazz Influence

Hazel Scott, born on June 11, 1920 in Trinidad was known as one of the pioneers of jazz music and was a radical women who challenged the race roles in music and media. She never second guessed her abilities as a talented African American, and never took roles that didn't show case her true skills. Her career blossomed with the help of Barney Josephson by performing her jazzy renditions in his unconventional night clubs. Jazz is well known fact to have been created by mainly African Americans about their soulful experiences throughout history. Having been allowed to perform freely in Cafe Society allowed many other musicians to come in through the doors and enjoy the same musical freedom she had. Cafe Societies were popularly known as "speakeasies" which instilled a secretive meeting place for all races to enjoy music and perform their own tunes in a rather white oriented neighborhood.

Different Societies for different folks

• During his years operating Maxim’s Jules was known as “the father of café society,” and for providing male dance partners for lone women patrons in the dance craze of 1914. Among these was his discovery, Rudolph Valentino. He was proud of his restaurant. As he wrote in his 1939 autobiography Inns and Outs, his visit to the original Maxim’s convinced him “that the replica we had put together . . . suffered nothing from comparison.” [3]

-"Supper clubs" night clubs where live music was played during ones meal, mainly private clubs.

• El Morocco
• Stork Club

Films Based on Cafe Sociéty

Recent film Café Society (film) directed Woody Allen made a huge splash in the Independent film scene. Many famous actors such as, Jesse Eisenberg, Blake Lively, Steve Carell, etc.. took place in a historical style film based on the money hungry time of 1970's Old Hollywood. Given the new age public a sneak peak into the running of a night club in California. It enlightens the viewer on the slight history of the Great Depression and it's effects on the high society living within this time. It shows the glitz and glam of what would be experienced in a "Cafe Society" and also all the unpolished side of the business that went into them.

The Cafe Community

The café society movement continues to grow and evolve its own form of different "types" of people one would see at a coffee shop. In 2007 a group of writers interviewed and studied many cafe customers and created six different types of people one would see at a cafe. With a total of seventy interviews conducted and thirty-two observations in fourteen different cafés the writers created a "Cafe Community".

1. The Takeaway Customer
   • The type of person who needs a caffeine-fix every day at least one time, usually in the morning. This type of person stops quickly at a cafe and leaves. No social interaction, and usually are prepared with what will be ordered. This type of person will eventually reach the level of becoming a "regular".
2. The Regulars
   • Regulars are a diverse group who provide a certain "feel" and sett a type of "tone" to the cafe. A regular would be a customer who is comfortable and understand the cafe from its physical aspects to it social aspects. A regular typically will not visit other cafes, and stick to just one.
3. The Café Worker
   • This type of person uses the cafe as their work place or study hall. Typically seen with a laptop or doing some sort of work inside the cafe shop. In this modern era most cafes have free Wi-Fi allowing it to be an easy place to grab a coffee and do work.
4. The Loners
   • Loners are known to visit cafes on a regular basis alone. Through the writers observations, the loners seem to find a sense of belonging in a cafe. Some seem to find going to a cafe alone a place to sanctuary, a place to relax and gather one's thoughts. In social setting such as a cafe shop, it allows the customer to be in tune with the outside world yet still have a sense of solitude.
5. The Social Guest
   • People who directly plan to attend a cafe for the social interaction it offers. Typically use a cafe to keep social ties with friends and family in a outside setting. The cafe is seen as a hub for any type of social engagement that can involve a shared meal, a deep conversation or even a quick coffee. Its a social space with a relaxing atmosphere that allows this type of customer to feel comfortable to interact with others.
6. The Mothers
   • The last type of customer title given by the writers is "The Mothers". Cafe's have seem to be a meeting place for many "new mothers" who have either joined a "social mother's group" or a place to simply interact and meet other mothers in the same situation. Some cafe's are even known to create "meet-ups" for mothers to meet on a weekly basis to discuss among themselves.
