[Dixielandjazz] Goldie Lucas

[Bob Smith]

I'm wondering about the forename to Goldie Lucas who played banjo and guitar with King Oliver and Clarence Williams, I assumed that the forename "Goldie" belonged to the fair sex, but listening to the vocal trio (Lucas is a member) on the Chocolate Dandies' recordings, I can't hear a female voice, Google dudn't help, and neither do any of the jazz books that I have.
Can anybody help me with this question of whether Lucas was male or female?
