Editing Cabaret (section)

===United Kingdom (from 1912)===
The Cabaret Theatre Club, later known as [[The Cave of the Golden Calf]], was opened by [[Frida Uhl|Frida Strindberg]] (modelled on the Kaberett Fledermaus in Strindberg's native Vienna) in a basement at 9 Heddon Street, London, in 1912. She intended her club to be an avant-garde meeting place for bohemian writers and artists, with decorations by [[Jacob Epstein]], [[Eric Gill]], and [[Wyndham Lewis]], but it rapidly came to be seen as an amusing place for high society and went bankrupt in 1914. The Cave was nevertheless an influential venture, which introduced the concept of cabaret to London. It provided a model for the generation of nightclubs that came after it.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/mol-34-257-244|title=The programme and menu from the Cave of the Golden Calf, Cabaret and Theatre Club - Explore 20th Century London|work=20thcenturylondon.org.uk|access-date=6 January 2017|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161228072711/http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/mol-34-257-244|archive-date=28 December 2016}}</ref>

"The clubs that started the present vogue for dance clubs were the Cabaret Club in Heddon Street . . . . The Cabaret Club was the first club where members were expected to appear in evening clothes. . . . The Cabaret Club began a system of vouchers which friends of members could use to obtain admission to the club. . . . the question of the legality of these vouchers led to a famous visitation of the police. That was the night a certain Duke was got out by way of the kitchen lift . . . The visitation was a well-mannered affair'<ref>'A Round of the Night Clubs' G H Fosdyke Nichols p 945 in ''Wonderful London'' ed. St. John Adcock 1927</ref>
