DALE'S WORLD
By Frank Dale
TV is not
Television
Necessarily
This issue I am devoting
my column to transvesitism,
female impersonation* and
cross dressing. In casjp you
are not clear as to the dif
ference between these three
areas Professor SexUs may
help us straighten them out.
f “First let me say that cross
dressing is not really a
seperate area as you have
said, it designates anyone,
male or female who dresses
in the clothers of the opposite
sex. Today this would cover
just about all of our youth
with todays unisex styles.
Also I would like to add
“drag, and transexual’ to Mr.
Dale’s list of terms.
“A transvestite is a male
who like to dress in womens
clothes or Some article of
womens apparel. This male is
a heterosexual and usually
prefers to do his cross
dressing in the privacy of his,
own home. Several well
known stars have been
gossiped to be TV’s, such as
Gary Grant, Milton Berle,
johnny Carson’s ex-side-kick
(his name escapes me).
if “A female impersonator is
also a cross dresser, but he
'can be hetero- or homo
sexual. Here the difference is
that a F.I. uses cross dressing
for the purpose of en
tertainment and it is more
often a case of a business and
not pleasure in wearing femal
clothing that is the deciding
factor. They could be called,
‘AMale Actress’.
I “The transexual is a male
or female who feels that he is
a woman living in a man’s
body or visa-versa. This
feeling is so strong that they
seek out an operation to
Change their outward sex. All
too often these people are
really only homosexuals and
not true transexuals. But the
transexual is not a cross
dresser, T.V., or F.I.
i “Drag is a term that was
coined in Shakespeares’ time
when men played the women
parts in the theatre. They
really were female im
personators, but at that time
it was called playing the part
in drag. Today this term
denotes a gay who dresses as
a woman and are not to be
confused with the other
mentioned here. In most
cases itis considered by most
as a derogatory term.” Prof.
Sexus
Wi MAN AS ROMEO?
Recently the Boston Opera
Compan^. under the direction
of Sarah Cp Id well shocked
audiences by casting the role
of Romoe in its revival of
bellinis’ “I Capjletti ed i
Montecchi.” Tatiana
Troyanos played the teen-
aged Veronese stud to
Beverly Sill’s Juliet. The
reason for this case of cross
dressing was because when
Bellini wrote his opera parts
usually sung by castrati with
their beautiful tenor voices
could not longer be filled.
This because 200-years of the
castrate was over. So Bellini
turned to the female voice
which he felt could only due
justice to his music and thus
mezzos needed, but in our day
people could not accept a
female in the male role. My
thanks to Ms. Caldwell' for
breaking with tradition and
presenting this opera as it
was meant to be played.

DRAG BALLET MAKES IT
In New York there are two
all male ballet companys, the
TrOckadero Gloxinia and the
Monte Carlo. The Trockdero
is the orginial from which the
Monte Carlo split some time
ago. Some people think that
they are doing this just for
comedy, but: in the case of
the Gloxinia that is not so.
The only problem is that
while they come-on as ultra-
feminine ballerinas, they just
are not good dancers. In
many cases also the male
parts are played by fellows
who are prettier and more
graceful than those in the
female roles. The Monte
Carlo don’t take themselves
quite so seriously and fare
much better .
