    Neil's New Finding

    Neil Richards Finding Aid University of Saskatchewan Archives MG 355 Neil Richards fonds. -- 1896-2000. -- .7 m of textual material. Historical note Born and educated in Ontario, but based in Saskatchewan since 1971, Neil Richards (1949 - ) has been an active participant in local, provincial and national gay organizations since the early 1970s. His activist work included participation in the Committee to Defend Doug Wilson in 1975, the organization of the 1976 convention of the National Gay Rights Coalition in Saskatoon, and many of the earliest AIDS awareness efforts in Saskatchewan. In conjunction with his work at the University of Saskatchewan Library, he produced many exhibitions and public events concerning AIDS and gay history and life. Scope and content note This collection dealing with the history of theatrical transvestism and gender impersonation was begun by Neil Richards during his research for the physical and digital exhibition All Frocked Up: Glimpses of Cross-Dressing in Saskatchewan (2003). To provide historical and international context to the images from Saskatchewan, Richards collected, principally through Ebay purchases, paper ephemera featuring female and male impersonators who had achieved fame on British music hall and American vaudeville stages during the first half of the 20th century. The collection contains material relating to the careers of Vesta Tilley; Julian Eltinge; John Graffton; Millie Gold; Hetty King; Danny Brown; Doc Benner; Danny LaRue; Charles Pierce; Jim Bailey; Rae Bourbon; Lynn Carter; Divine; Hinge and Bracket; Rex Jameson; T. C. Jones; Hector Nicol; Nellie Kolle; Grace Leonard; Dixie Norton; Claire Romaine; Ella Shields; Florenze Tempest; Bert Errol; William Lingard; Tom Martelle and Karyl Norman.

He, along with Francis Renault, and Julian Eltinge, were the reigning kings, or queens, if you will, of female impersonation. But while much has been written about Eltinge and other interpreters of drag, such as Bert Savoy, Tom Martelle, Jean Malin, Earl Lind and Ray Bourbon, little is known about Karyl Norman, who by all accounts was one of the most fascinating and glamorous of vaudeville's gender-bending vamps, the original voguin' vixen and one of the premier princesses of the so-called "Pansy Craze." Karyl Norman paved the way for countless female impersonators who came after him. He also wrote many of his own songs, which puts him in a different league than Eltinge and his peers who always used songs written by others. Karyl's legacy endures primarily due to his sheet music which shows up constantly on eBay, although many dealers are not aware that this stylish siren was in reality a man. Most accounts of Karyl Norman, I've found, are just plain wrong. His name is often misspelled, both his stage name and his birth name. I've seen mentions of him as "Norman Carroll," "Carl Newman," "Norman Thomas," and "Carole Norman." Writers have claimed his real name was George Paduzzi. The Cambridge Guide to Theatre says it was "Poduzzi." One account I read said that he was born in Australia; another that he was African-American and lived in Harlem.

    Variety and Vaudeville by Gillian Rodger

    Variety and Vaudeville by Gillian Rodger Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com From the mid-nineteenth century onwards, a number of popular theatrical forms that included play on gender flourished in Britain, Europe, and the United States. The best known among these styles of theater, and the ones that flourished most in the United States, were minstrelsy, vaudeville (and its precursor, variety), and burlesque. All of these forms featured cross-dressed acts, as well as routines that challenged prevailing gender constructions. In addition, certain performance specialties featured in some of these theatrical forms were known to attract homosexual performers. One of the difficulties in discussing sexual orientation in reference to performers of this period, however, is that the identity "homosexual" was relatively new and may well have been rejected by those whom we would now identify with this term. On the other hand, there was a clear recognition by theater folks of this period that some performers were in same-sex or untraditional relationships. This recognition can be seen in snippets of gossip columns in theatrical newspapers that make oblique, usually snide, references to performers' private lives. Top to bottom: 1) Minstrel performers Many popular theater forms of the nineteenth century relied heavily on parody, Rollin Howard (in wench stereotype, and novelty. Cross-gender casting was one way in which serious drama or costume) and George opera could be parodied. In all-male minstrel companies, cross-dressing was a Griffin (ca 1855). 2) An advertisement for necessity if female characters were to be included.

    SAN FRANCISCO at Play! Special ARGONAUT Edition JOURNAL OF SAN FRANCISCO HISTORICAL SOCIETY “Tell me how a city takes its pleasure and I will tell you the character of its people.” SAN FRANCISCO AT PLAY! Since the COVID-19 shutdown, San Franciscans have been deprived of one of our favorite activities—FUN around town. With restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and parks closed for the time being, we can only recall our favorite places and pastimes with a wistful smile and look forward to the eventual restoration of our city’s thriving social life. This Special Edition of The Argonaut takes a nostalgic look back in time at some of the unique, lively, sometimes bawdy, one-of-a-kind San Francisco experiences we once treasured with frequency and abandon—and, perhaps, took for granted. HERE ARE THE FEATURES YOU’LL FIND IN THIS ISSUE: • San Francisco’s Wonderous Drink, Pisco Punch by Paul Scholten – Vol. 8 No.2 (Fall 1997) This classic San Francisco cocktail, said to have been invented in the Bank Exchange Saloon, proves the truth of this old adage: “One is just right; two is too many; three is not enough.” • The Chutes: San Francisco’s Unique Destination for Amusement by John Freeman – Vol. 14. No. 2 (Winter 2003) Who knew gravity could be so fun? Find out why people once flocked to an unusual form of amusement in a neighborhood now called “the Haight.” • A Toast to Paoli’s by Deanna Paoli Gumina – Vol. 25 No. 2 (Winter 2014) Written by the daughter of Paoli’s founders, this article celebrates the iconic, elegant bar and supper club that once graced Montgomery Street and fed the city’s appetite for “continental cuisine.” Some recipes from Paoli’s menu are included.
