La Sylphe

“The scene in which the dancer appears is night upon a desert, very pretty, effective and subdued. La Sylphe’s conception is Salome’s remorse.” “The dancer is dressed in fleshings underneath the regulation Oriental garb, and the tights apparently are made to include the bodice covering.”
"La Sylphe as a contortionist is entitled to notice, but as a Salome dancer is not sensational, and no aid is sought through nudeness as far as could be noticed."
