Was this for men only before WWI? I’ve been looking at some photos, thanks to Google, and it looks like it was always a swanky place?

Very swanky! This is an earlier post: https://firstnightdesign.wordpress.com/2014/04/10/first-night-design-those-were-the-days-the-cafe-royal/. In answer to your question, I’m really not sure but I suspect only ladies of the night (or boys of the night in Wilde’s case!).
