Staging back-alley drag balls was one thing; performing for Astors and Vanderbilts was quite another. What’s more, slummers didn’t just indulge in voyeuristic pleasures; they sampled the seafood, so to speak—a metaphor on full display in periodicals like Broadway Brevities, one of several mainstream publications covering the Pansy Craze.

"Louis XIV did indeed have a younger brother named Philippe, but the king was never at risk of being supplanted. Philippe I, Duc d’Orléans, known as Monsieur, is one of history’s most notorious effeminates, whose affections and fortune were lavished on male favorites, from courtiers to opera dancers."

Gil Cuadros cemented his reputation as a writer shortly before his death, at 34, with 1994’s City of God.

In an early scene in Warner Brothers’ hit musical 42nd Street (1933), Peggy Sawyer, a naïve aspiring actress, accidentally walks into the dressing room of Billy Lawler, a young, good-looking actor who’s getting ready for a Broadway show rehearsal. Billy (played by Dick Powell), caught wearing only his underwear, jumps up in surprise and yells at Peggy (Ruby Keeler), who had mistaken him for the show’s stage manager. “Weren’t you expecting me?” asks the startled and confused Peggy. “Well, not exactly,” answers Billy. “But I’m afraid you’ll do.”
