Who were Toy and Wing in the history of tap dance?

Toy and Wing were a prominent Asian American dance team consisting of Dorothy Takahashi Toy and Paul Wing. They were notable performers within the "Chop Suey circuit," a network of Chinese nightclubs primarily located in San Francisco and New York City that catered largely to white tourists and military personnel.1

As a specialty act, the duo showcased their talents in the performing arts during an era when tap dance was a staple of nightclub entertainment. Their work is preserved in the 1937 film Deviled Ham, which serves as an example of the specialty acts often featured in musical short subjects of that period.12
