First mention of Manny Dias' female impersonation in the Lowell Sun.

"During the intermission, exhibition dances were given by Manuel Dias, who entertained with novelty fox trots and waltzes. Attired as a girl, the dancer was most prepossessing and it was not until he divested himself of his wig that the large gathering present recognized him. Several encores were willingly given by Mr. Diaz, who is well known locally as an accomplished dancer.
