Gilbert Saroni, also written Gilbert Sarony, was a cross-dressing performer in vaudeville as well as early Edison Manufacturing, American Mutoscope, and Siegmund Lubin films. In his obituary in Variety he was described as one of the first impersonators of the "old maid" type and was said to be "considered one of the funniest men in the show business." His performances used pronounced facial expressions for levity. He was a best man at Annie Hindle's wedding. He died of acute indigestion in Pittsburgh on December 15, 1910.
