Looking for Little Egypt by Donna Barbrick Carlton |
This book explores the not-so-innocent era of ballyhoo, sideshows, and hoochy coochy, as well as the myths
surrounding the infamous exotic dancer, Little Egypt. The search for the original notorious Little
Egypt begins with the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and moves to New York in 1897, when she played to
packed houses on Broadway. "Oriental" dances at the 1893 fair, and shows how
scandal propelled imitation versions in sideshows and burlesque houses are described in detail. Also, investagates Anthony Comstock,
the country's most powerful censor, attempts to shut down the shows--only to create greater
publicity and demand. Published by IDD Books, 104 pages, approximately 100 illustrations. Includes
notes, bibliography and index.
"A fascinating book . . ."--Chicago Tribune Sunday Magazine ". . . (A)n important book on this fascinating and shadowy figure from dance history. It's an indispensable source for those interested in ways popular culture and dance intermingle. It's also a colorful and lively story--as exotic and intoxicating as a tale out of The Arabian Nights."--Dance and the The Arts Magazine |
