Includes musicians, dancers, people drinking champagne, waiters serving champagne, etc. They're having a "1900 Night", so some of the patrons are in old-fashioned costumes, but there are also many shots of people in early 1930s clothing. People in turn of the century costumes arriving at "1900 Night" at Maxim's night club. Natural sound. MLS horse-drawn vehicle arrives at Maxims. MS couple in period costumes get out; pan with them as they walk in, past a big spotlight pointed at the entrance. LS Some more costumed people in a very early automobile come slowly driving toward camera. Nice shot of bulding exterior with awning that says "MAXIM'S"; cars passing in FG. CU hood of the antique car. MS people get out of car and enter club. MLS band playing on stage in Maxims. Various shots of people in gay nineties outfits arriving, band playing etc. Looking over a corner of the nightclub with people not playing along with the theme - -they are all in modern clothes of 1930s, sitting at tables by the mirrored walls. Close shots of glamourous blonde in elegant dress and white fur over her shoulders. CU champagne bottle put into a bucket of ice. Shots of people on dance floor, some in the 1900-era costumes; one number ends. CU wine glasses and bottle on table. Then the band strikes up The Blue Danube waltz and several couples waltz. MS couple at table drinking champagne. Dance floor, pan to band playing. Floor show. Var shots of a dance duo (black man and white woman - -with such integration you KNOW this must be Paris!) performing a "Can-Can" dance. The woman shows a lot of leg; her full skirt has pics of black cat faces around the edge and there's another cat face on the crotch of her 'tap pants' undergarment! MS society ladies sitting at tables. Back to the dancers. MCU ordinary looking couple watching. Cute young female singer performs a comic song with audience sing-along on parts.
