Female impersonation.
Princess Ka is a female impersonator doing classic dances, that would make a number of artists hustle to compete with him, if they had to follow on the same circuit. Ka is assisted by a young woman who also shows much dancing ability. Ka has five dances, with the "Battle of Roses" (announced as his own interpretation) and the "Dance of the Cobra" the best. He also has an elaborate wardrobe. A slide between dances announces Princess Ka cannot speak English, and that she appreciates the enthusiasm, which proves a laugh getter when he discards his wig after the final dance. Ka should find no trouble in playing in this vicinity.
