I am toward the back, in brown jacket and striped shirt, caught in conversation with a local political candidate whose campaign imploded later that year over allegations of sexual harassment and misogyny. 2020!</image:caption>

This is not meant to imply that the OP’s grandfather was mediocre! But I do love this photo for its lived-in atmosphere, as opposed to the staged, glossy publicity shots that usually come up when searching for 1930s nightclub images.</image:caption>
