Butterfly Man by Lew Levenson (Castle Books, 1967)
An interesting but unpleasant and unrewarding book about a handsome and talented boy who leaves Selma, Texas to pursue a career as a dancer in vaudeville and on Broadway. The fact that our hero is thoroughly unlikeable and a chronic alcoholic makes him impossible to care about, so one reads for interesting glimpses of gay life in the theater world during the 1920s.
