"Ladies and gentlemen" was a common way to refer to an audience in the early 1900s. Gentlemen itself came from the way of referring to someone as a butcher, librarian, or such as what they do for a living. Gentlemen did not work for a living. Eventually, the term was used to refer to all or most men.
A gentleman was not a noble, but usually did not work in a specific career, so I suppose the antonym would be a "career man".
