Elegance at the Embassy Club by Mundo, 1929

An impression by Mundo of the dance floor at the Embassy Club at supper-time with a number of well-known people. On the left of the dance floor is Sir Francis Oppenheimer dancing with a partner in a green dress, next to them, and slightly in the foreground, are Mr Alfredo Pena Unzne and Lady Ashley, whilst the Hon. Wilfred Egerton is seen in the background. Immediately behind the table are Mr and Mrs Augustin Edwards, with the smiling lawn tennis star, Jean Borotra, dancing with a partner in white a little to the right and next to the monocle Sir Cecil Beck and Lady Beck. M. and Mme. Dubonnet (better known as Mrs Nash of "the best-dressed woman in the world" fame) are the next couple, and on the right are Mr Arturo Rubinstein and partner next to the presiding genius, Luigi. At the table Mrs Jack Williams and Mrs Godfrey Miller sit at supper with Mr Lionel Mander, the picture being completed by the presence of no less a celebrity than Jackson, the Club's black cat
