A splendid "journal" given "as a memento of your visit to the Montmartre of New York" Proprietor Jimmy Kelly, born Giovanni de Silvo (or John DeSilvio), cut his teeth as a boxer, gangster, & Tammany Hall operative before turning to the nightclub business. Opening Jimmy Kelly's in 1921, the New York Times noted that his "Blue Ribbon 100-minute Floor Show" … in which "boys and girls (but chiefly girls) stamp, tap, croon, harmonize and contortion-dance their way without pausing for a long breath had the customers packing in to small space."
