Flyer for Club Chesterfield

A promotional flyer for the Club Chesterfield in Chicago, styling itself as "Chicago's Best in Unusual Entertainment". Contains address information and headshots of leading performers, including Roby Landers, Jackie Lynn, Tillie, Lee Larain, Vicki Marlane, and Mitzi Monnet. Vicki Marlane (1934-2011) was a legendary San Francisco drag queen and transgender woman. Marlane had a long career; starting in the 1950s, she performed as a female impersonator, stripper, and carnival sideshow performer, and she continued to perform in drag almost until her death in 2011. In her last decades, Marlane led the Hot Boxx Girls, the in-house drag troupe at Aunt Charlie's Lounge. This item comes from the Vicki Marlane Papers at the GLBT Historical Society.
