he had never said a word on stage or tried to be funny until he entered burlesque.  …In his autobiography, [Joe E.] Brown wrote:  ‘The public’s low opinion of burlesque today has caused more than one prominent star to soft-pedal his (or her) humble beginnings in the field I am much too grateful for the things I learned in burlesque to belittle its importance in my story….’ As far as the “girls” went, the transition from dance to strip was gradual and subtle To advertise their attractions, many of the “Burlesque Queens” had a trademark – Sally Rand’s fans, Zorita’s snakes, other “girls” used doves or parrots or even exotic furs, Lois DeFee (6’ 4”) and Ricki Covette (6’ 8”) had “stature.”  Even though it was in its heyday, burlesque took a number of “hits” in this time period – two world wars, a depression, and, worst of all, Prohibition Then many of the performers, especially actors 244 COWAN’S AMERICAN HISTORY and comedians, began moving to film and television – good for a wider audience, not as good for burlesque By the 1950s it became strictly a strip show, and incorporated what many of the earlier stars saw as coarser elements, including what many people identify with striptease, the “bump and grind.” When asked about modern striptease, Lois once quipped: “Modern day girls are nude, lewd, and get screwed.” (Goldwyn, 244) Not so in her day This was seldom part of early burlesque, and when it came to be expected, many of the stars, including Lois and Zorita, who (it must be admitted were also aging) retired The earlier performances were more sensuous, more suggestive.  Many of these stars of the stage are now gone, and many forgotten for their earlier roles Only those who made it “big” in film or television tend to be remembered, which is a shame in many ways These were the pioneers of mass entertainment These were the ones who made the “transition.” In many respects they also crafted the forms that entertainment took in the second part of the 20th century Born in a small town, either Missouri (passport) or Texas (Goldwin, 2006), depending on the source, Lois DeFee lost her parents early and was raised in Texas by an aunt (her father’s sister) and uncle It was not a happy situation, and Lois began trying to run away at the age of four She finally succeeded at 13 In her early attempts she headed west; this time she went south, and ended up in Miami One club owner was recruiting showgirls for a stint in Cuba Lois recalls: “Brass monkey me I walked right in and got the job.” (Goldwyn, 239) But she was tall and probably did not appear to be barely a teenager She would advertise her height in her heyday as a burlesque queen at foot inches, or thereabouts She was a bit shorter in stocking feet, but not much The show played in Cuba for several months The producer discovered Lois’ lack of dancing talent, so they had her stand as a nude statue in the back of the line or parade slowly across the stage – elements that apparently became part of her later performance style She also made lifelong friends in Cuba, including the ambassador and his wife When the show left Cuba, it was to open in Miami Lois missed the train stop and continued to New York She contacted a friend of another acquaintance from Cuba, and he gave her a job as bouncer at The Dizzy Club The job grabbed attention, including that of Walter Winchell, who also would become a friend It was Winchell who later dubbed Lois the “Eiffel Eyeful.” In 1933, she moved to Leon & Eddie’s club on 52nd, also as a bouncer She later recalled that she never really “bounced” anyone, but served more as a hostess and occasionally BID LIVE ONLINE AT BIDSQUARE.COM GENERAL AMERICANA | Entertainment calmed potential problems probably just by being a distraction If she came up to talk to you, you probably forgot what you were going to fight about.  In 1939, she got a job at the New York World’s Fair in the Amazon exhibit as “Queen of the Amazons.” The title stuck, and occasionally was modified to “Queen of the Glamazons.” It was here that Al Minsky recruited her for a featured act in one of his venues The only catch was that she would be doing a striptease She confessed later that she had no idea how to one, but went to the clubs and watched over a dozen in a week She was smart and a quick study, and for $400 a week, she would develop her own style and performance Her style was so sophisticated and stately that she had a large following of women as well as men Lois was married a number of times The citations vary from five to eight, with seven being the most common In one of the interviews in the collection of papers in this lot, the interviewer asked how many times she had been married, and she quipped something to the effect of “often enough to make my sex life legal.” The “Lois stunt” that is cited everywhere is her marriage to midget Billy Curtis (3’ 2”) Some have speculated that it was all prearranged, because the marriage was annulled within a day or two – by the same judge that married them The lot consists of one of DeFee’s costumes (no headpiece), photographs (unfortunately none in the costume), letters, news clippings, music written for her performances, a jewelry box with a few items in it and many “jewels” from old costumes, and an assortment of miscellaneous items The costume was worn for a number called the “Ziegfield Strut.” It consists of skirt, bustier, pants, sleeves (2 separate), undergarments, all with clear square rhinestones among turquoise sequin swirls.  The lot includes photographic binders, one of which contains many publicity photos, series of photos demonstrating portions of her act in a club, and views of clubs and theaters promoting “Lois DeFee.” The second binder contains 27 publicity stills of Lois in different costumes, all by Bruno, Hollywood. The third binder appears to contain mostly personal photos, capturing Lois with friends, including several men, some of whom may have been husbands The fourth binder also contains mostly personal photos, some labeled in Lois’s hand Personal items include: a velvet jewelry box on brass feet that contains just a few items: pairs of earrings; a “Lois” pin; a bar pin; a faux pearl necklace; cut glass necklace; hair comb; large tubes containing “rhinestones/crystals” that came from, or were going to be used on costumes; a dark red velvet-covered box containing a necklace with a note in Lois’ hand, indicating that it was a gift from Arthur Treacher, celebrating the birth of her daughter; ascot (brand) green suede clutch with “L de F.” in gilt on flap; compact with mirror, powder and puff intact; numerous personal papers, such as sponsorship rejections, passports, etc.  The collection also features several pieces of commercial sheet music, most importantly, the manuscript scores for Conductor, Piano, 1st Trumpet, 2nd Trumpet, 1st Alto, 3rd Alto, Tenor Sax, Trombone, Bass, Drums, with pieces written for DeFee Most were written by Manny Blanc, and include Music for “G” String, Fee’s Weirdee, Haitian Strip, The Blues, Voodoo, Chino, and Houri. All are marked “Lois DeFee” in the upper right corner In addition to popular music, Manny Blanc (b.1914) composed symphonies and ballets, string quartets, brass, as well as playing with orchestras such as Tommy Dorsey’s He was also a successful painter Additional items include a number of loose newspaper clippings, articles, and interviews with Lois, such as a copy of Flirt, dated April 1952, with a two-page spread on Lois (pp 32-33): She’s the biggest attraction to hit burleycue in many years! This teasin’ torso-tosser is wowin’ the peelin’ circuit! No wonder! That’s a lotta gal, eh boys?”; two copies of the program for the 1968 Miss USA Pageant program held that year in Miami, with Lois DeFee listed as the Sales Director; clipped ads promoting various clubs and Lois› appearances, as well as some of her publicity stunts Among the number of interviews printed in the newspaper clippings and articles cut from periodicals, is a notable discussion with Lois about burlesque performers changing their names Lois stated that she would never that, as she had built up some name recognition She noted that some of her more conservative relatives had asked her to change it, and when she refused, THEY changed THEIR names Their loss This clearly was a woman of character, who was a character (in the best sense) We wish we could have known her, and she
