This sandbox is for notes on a project to document early 20th century female mimics (drag queens). I have come into possession of a rare, self-published book on the topic from the 1950's and will be verifying that the performers listed, if notable, have been documented on Wikipedia. If not much information is available, generally they can be added to the vaudeville list, at a minimum. If there is more info and they are notable, I will work toward adding pages on them and updating relevant lists.

Checking against list of vaudeville performers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_vaudeville_performers:_A-K and list of drag queens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_drag_queens)

Checklist of performer pages (in progress):
