Another wonderful find about which I know absolutely nothing at all. I so love finding mysterious old photographs, and wondering how they came to be made, and what stories these people could have told. This chorus line of female impersonators dates from the 1920s.

I love the old photos you put up but wish you would post them full size so we can actually see more detail in them. The littleness of them all doesn't do them any justice.
