Slide 10: A "Dash" of Excitement

The Dash, a large bar on Pacific Street (aka Terrific Street), opened in 1908 and featured drag performances and private booths. On Oct. 20, 1908, the "San Francisco Call" reported on the town’s new bar, "Inside is a small stage, on which a low variety of performance is given. Flanking the stage on either side of the big room are curtained boxes, in which are ensconced degenerate female impersonators. The 'Dash' is the home of unspeakable vices."
