The "cooch" is renamed "The Cleopatria
Dance." A snake is introduced,
and besides t'he regulation "wiggle," an
exhibition of snake charming is put forward.
When "Salome" passed away, it seemed
as though it were the end of the muscle
manipulators, but the reception accorded
Rajah at Hammerstein's Monday night
made it look as though the craze had just
set in. The swinging of a rather heavy
looking chair while held in her teeth,
used for a finish, brought much of the
applause.
