On your right is a scan of an advertisement that appeared in a September 1950 issue of Gay Atlanta, a publication distributed to guests of downtown hotels.  Gay Atlanta featured many restaurant and nightclub advertisements in each issue, providing a glimpse of how and where people entertained themselves in Atlanta in decades past.

The Five O'Clock Supper Club featured a steady stream of burlesque dancers, such as Bea Barton featured in this ad. 

Below is an ad from a March 1959 issue of Gay Atlanta, by which time Club Peachtree was operating in the space formerly occupied by the Five O'Clock Club.

 

 

 

In addition to the Five O'Clock Club, Club Peachtree also operated at 160 Peachtree Street, though I am unsure of the timeline for each club's birth and demise.  In any case, the lower advertisement does a fine job of displaying the sort of burlesque entertainment that made Club Peachtree a popular destination.
