"Ghost of the Nile."
The Ford Sisters, like most American dancers, "bend, in the middle" when they do high kicking, and score strongest with their old wooden shoe stepping at the finish. Among the several numbers played by their pianist between the costume changes is "Ghost of the Nile," with castanet accompaniment by tho orchestra. Since when are castanets used in connection with Egyptian melodies?
