Casey’s Saloon
Casey’s Saloon was in St. Paul in 1973, and made the news when it hired a male stripper named Romulus. Owner Glen Triviski felt women should have their fair share. On April 8 the St. Paul City Council ordered the club closed because the go-go-dancers were allegedly performing indecently. A new ordinance was passed allowing dancers to be “covered with transparent or opaque clothing.” Romulus, a/k/a Gary Watkins, was a 23-year-old med student working on a degree at Indiana State University. Although he had been touring the country, he sometimes forgot to unbutton his shirt. “And when that happens, he says, sometimes a button pops off.” (Randy Furst in the Minneapolis Star). ‘Spose there’s a Dr. Romulus out there somewhere?
