Step back in time with the walls of the 139 Club—a legendary 1930s speakeasy in Cathedral City that became a secret haven for Hollywood’s elite. Situated at the corner of Grove Street and Highway 111, the club was run by the charismatic Earl Sausser, offering free-flowing drinks, chili, and a dash of defiance—no bar, no seating, just pure ambiance.
This singular collection of 27 original panels captures the essence of a bygone era. Once the very walls of the 139 Club, these panels became a canvas for the stars of Hollywood’s golden age. Imagine the likes of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, George Burns, the Betty Grable, and even Cole Porter leaving their signatures, doodles, and musings behind. Each panel tells its own story, but together they form a tapestry of glamour, and intrigue.
