Top frames show a smartly dressed woman standing beside the elevators of what appears to be the second-floor lobby of a hotel, possibly the Havana Hilton. Frames in the second row of photographs show the interior of the Salon Charela, a bar and small restaurant in Old Havana. Bottom frames show women and men in a similar establishment, probably in Old Havana, but one whose primary function is prostitution and related activities. This second bar is shown in the fourth and fifth rows of frames. See also Print 72.
