  MissScarlett: <BCM>, December 1990, p.538:

<Herr Steinitz, with no regard for his personal appearance, one day presented himself for admission to the Club-room. One of the waitresses, thinking him to be a tramp asking for charity, ordered him off the premises with a 'There's nothing for you today.' Explanations followed and the master gained his point and entry to the Club-room (BCM 1944, page 27, in a history of the Glasgow CC).>

I bet they had a colour bar, too!

  MissScarlett: <I'll have my own club. The Bobby Fischer ... uh, the Robert J. Fischer Chess Club. It'll be class. Tournaments in full dress. No bums in there. You're gonna have to be over eighteen to get in, unless like you have special permission because you have like special talent. It'll be in a part of the city that's still decent, like the upper East Side.>
