Description
Ben Marden’s Riviera, a tan circular building with a prominent red sign, sits majestically overlooking a rocky cliff and lush greenery. Celebrity endorsements hail it as “a Marden Wonder of the World,” “unquestionably the most beautiful nightclub in the world,” and a place defying adequate description. This Lumitone photoprint postcard, likely from the 1940s, captures the glamorous ambiance of this Fort Lee, NJ landmark.

Dear Friend:
Walter Winchell says this is "a Marden Wonder of the World"; Louis Sobol says "It defies adequate description"; Ed. Sullivan says "Nothing can match it in Europe"; Mark Hellinger states "it's unquestionably the most beautiful nightclub in the world," and Leonard Lyons says "it's truly magnificent." What more can I say?
