Additional Details


The Continental Baths, a renowned Manhattan bathhouse in the late 1960s and early 1970s, featured poolside cabaret performances by Bette Midler, Barry Manilow, and many others. Offered here is a signed program for a performance by the important operatic soprano Eleanor Steber (1914-1990), who recorded an album at the baths that year. As noted in the program, the suggested dress code was "black tie / black towel."
