Whether this individual was expressing himself or doing a publicity stunt in satire, the result is that a person was daring to parade through the streets of St. Louis in drag before thousands of people long before anything like this was condoned. Officially declared as a clown and part of the festivities, there is no denying the social overtones of what was happening here which makes this a bold piece of social photography offered here for the first time ever fresh out of a newspaper archive.
