Cabaret culture led the way to new styles of behavior and consumption, dissolving conventional barriers between classes, races, the sexes-even between life and art. A fabulous era of chorus girls, jazz players, lobster palaces, and hip flasks-the age of Sophie Tucker, Irene and Vernon Castle, and Gilda Gray-tangos through the pages of this ground-breaking, as well as entertaining, cultural history.
