The Stork Club was a famous Manhattan night club that was founded by Oklahoma native and ex-bootlegger Sherman Billingsley and operated continuously from 1929 - 1965. The NYC hot spot was a destination for celebrities, artists, writers and wealthy people in general.

When Billingsley was talking to his guests, there was always an assistant nearby watching his hand gestures. Here"s a series of images of Mr. Billingsley demonstrating his own brand of nightclub-code via these gestures.
