them soon. The manager finally announced that a drag show on stage was to be held July 23rd.
Although homosexual
appealing to the audience has been part of the program of most art movie houses for years, such public announcements as those made by the manager of the Haight have not been heard by us before. Of the more than 300 persons attending the evening we did, not one appeared to be heterophile. There were campy calls from the rear of the auditorium as the physique models did their best to please the audience. Each contestant in the show was loudly cheered.
See Atlas magazine for July, 1964; the wildest James Bond satire we have ever read is there for your amusement from the slick pen of Cyril Connolly. It is called "Bond Strikes Camp.'
In the same issue Atlas reprints the latest on that literary quarrel out of Paris between Francois Mauriac and Roger Roger Peyrefitte which has resulted from Jean Delannoy's filming of Peyrefitte's novel on homosexuality in a boys' school, 'Les Amities Particulieres. Mauriac objected, and Peyrefitte responded charging Mauriac with a "hypocritical attitude toward homosexuality." Mauriac immediately quieted down and suggested that he preferred the affair be forgotten.
From other sources we hear that there has been discussion in France of the projected filming of more homosexual stories by Peyrefitte and also Gide.
"The Queen Is In The Closet," the latest gay record from Hollywood, is also the best and funniest. It is in surprisingly good taste as far as such things go, and it can be played for any audience.
