Scope and content
The chef at the Winthrop Hotel's Sabre Room was armed with bow and arrow and apparently had plenty of support from four unidentified women dressed in "Robin Hood" costumes in this March 10, 1962, photograph. Each woman clutched a sabre, blade pointing downward. The Sabre Room, created by internationally known restaurateur Trader Vic, opened in 1949. It was designed to look like an old-English tap room and featured an authentic tavern menu, including roast beef cooked in rock salt, barbecued ribs, steak and kidney pie and trifle for desert.
