Sherman Billingsley, owner of the legendary New York Stork Club, 1944. Signalling to his assistants while sitting down with patrons, drinking his usual Coca Cola:

Image

Five fingers spread out -> "The music is too loud."

Image

With his hand on his tie -> "No check for this table."

Image

With his palm up on the table -> "Bring a bottle of champagne."

Image

Pointing down -> "Bring a round of drinks."

Image

With his hand to his nose -> "Not important people" or "Their check is no good."

Image

Tugging at his pocket handkerchief -> "Get them a bottle of perfume"

Image

With hands interlocked & one thumb up -> "Get them out & don't let them in again" while sitting with some annoying patrons.
