what s the meaning of five foot five here?
The performers who showed up on the stage every night were like the slender man said: tall,
tan, and terrific. Meaning, as far as Willie could see, five foot five, light-skinned, and young.

The expression "five foot five" is the most common way to describe a person's height in feet and inches.
Someone who is "five foot five" is five feet + five inches tall ( 5'5" )
A person who is "six one" is 6 feet + 1 inch tall ( 6"1" )
A child might be "4 foot 3" -- 4 feet + 3 inches tall ( 4'3" )
----------
The entire passage is an ironic and humorous interpretation of
"tall, tan, and terrific."
> "tall" -- five foot five is actually short for a grown man
> "tan" apparently just refers to their light skin
> "terrific" apparently means nothing more than "young"
