The Jewel Box Revue

http://zagria.blogspot.com/2010/08/jewel-box-revue.html

Founded in Miami in 1939 by lovers Doc Brenner and Danny Brown, the Jewel Box Revue toured for 30 years and was the best known drag show of its kind in the US.

They preferred the terms 'feminine impressionists' and 'femme mimics'. Although the management and performers were gay, the show was aimed at straight audiences, winning acceptance through comedy. The performers would tell interviewers of wives and girlfriends, but they were largely mythical.
