Stone Theatre burlesque - Detroit, Michigan

 
 












The Stone Theater Burlesque was located on Woodward Ave in Detroit. The only reason that I know that it must have been a haunt for gays is because there was a semi popular singer in the 50's and 60's named Johnnie Ray who was arrested in the men's room for soliciting sex from an undercover male Detroit police officer in 1951. He was later arrested for the same thing in 1959 at the Brass Rail Bar. (See my post about the Brass Rail) If you know anything else about this place as a gay hangout please post. It has since been demolished. Also check out my other blog at: motorgay.net
