The entertainer (1921)

The entertainer. My restoration and colorization of photographer Robert Mushet´s original 1921 image in the Library of Congress archive. The lady was an entertainer at the Butler Cafe Revue, Seattle.

"Located in Seattle's Hotel Butler, the Butler Cafe was much more than a small cafe, with a seating capacity of 500. A 1922 advertisement enthused, "With its big musical review, with clever performers, beautifully costumed, and with Tiny Burnett's wonderful dance orchestra, The Butler's dinner and supper dansants are the social events of the city."
