Did Monty Clift visit gay brothels in Chicago?

I found this tidbit in the book The Boys of Fairy Town by Jim Elledge:

"As in other parts of Chicago, Bronzeville also had its share of bordellos that catered to queer men. According to Samuel Steward, a postal employee named Treville Holmes owned a large house on Fiftieth Street that served as a male bordello. Rumor had it that its clients included actor Montgomery Clift, playwright Thornton Wilder, and novelists James Purdy and Wendell Wilcox. Similar houses dotted Bronzeville and welcomed men all over Chicago."

So Monty liked the dark meat, then.

R4 How do you know that about Monty?

Legend has it that Monty was the original Princess Tinymeat. True? Who knows? He was gorgeous, whatever the size of his prize.

Monty’s shortcomings have been well-documented.

I want to read Roddy McDowalls autobiography, damnit! Why did he torment us this way?! Where is it kept? Could someone get to it and put the chapters on a disc? Then return it and no one need ever know of our crime?

My absolute favorite salacious Monty story (true or not) is that he was gangbanged by a bunch of rough trade in a dive bar, on a pool table! The Accused before The Accused!

R12- I remember reading about his preference for BBD many years ago. Who was that horrible women that had so much control over him at one time?

Isn't Chicago the city of brothely love?

I wish there were gay brothels in the USA. I think they still have them in Europe. They call them House of Boys.

I visited the House of Boys in Stuttgart, Germany several times back in the 2000s. They had rooms with extras, like a sauna, a whirlpool bath, etc. and you had plenty of time to enjoy yourself. Prices were reasonable, and you knew exactly what you were getting.
