To John Lauter concerning comments on the Gayety Theater. My mother worked as a striper at the Empress and Gayety Theaters around 1953-55. There was a comedian at the Empress known as “Sheik”. My mother died in 1957 at age 37. Might your grandfather remember anything about the theaters or the strippers or any of their names? My mother’s name was Melba Winslow. If she had a stage name I do not know it. Thanks so much for any info you may have.
