Clifton’s has reopened under new management and we’re having a party to celebrate! Join us for a Clifton’s history presentation by historian Nathan Marsak, cocktails, music and mingling in the private Speakeasy bar at the historic 1931 cafeteria. The secret password will be revealed once you purchase a ticket!

For four years, from 1930 through 1934, Hollywood was hard to tame. Many films produced during the pre-Code era brazenly tackled an array of risque subjects, from sexual freedom to lawlessness to racial taboos. Made during the depths of the Great Depression, these movies pushed the bounds of societal and cultural norms as Hollywood studios saw their profits plummeting and were determined to lure audiences into theaters in any way possible. In this presentation, Pre-Code Essentials authors Danny Reid and Kim Luperi explore the fascinating history of the period with spotlights on some of the most provocative and shocking elements and movies of the era.

Save the Date! Nov. 7, the Art Deco Society of Los Angeles presents "Pre-Code Hollywood Frolic" - an opportunity to be the Hollywood starlet or Matinee Idol you've always known you are! This will definitely be the most scandalous party you'll attend all year.

Jim Ziegler's Quintet will perform top tunes of the era for your dancing pleasure, plus a multitude of scandalous surprises! Stay tuned for more information and tickets.
