Bathing Beauties word \"burlesque\" refers to two kinds of entertainment. In its original meaning, burlesque signified a comedy that parodied its original source. Burlesque eventually also came to denote \"leg shows\" or acts that focused on a woman\'s body and featured scantily-clad women, often in the act of undressing. Burlesque often relied on dialogue and song, and was longer in length than films of the time. Still, filmmakers took burlesque subjects as their inspiration and often captured burlesque performers.
Vaudeville acts such as Ella Lola (\" Turkish Dance\"); the \"French chanteuse eccentrique,\" Karina ; and Princess Rajah recreated their stage shows for the screen, thus providing a glimpse into the type of exotic dance entertainment shown on stage during the early 1900s. (Princess Rajah\'s act was filmed at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition and, like Ella Lola\'s act, is reminiscent of the hootchy-cootchy dances of exotic performers such as Fatima and Little Egypt.)
Films such as \"Pity the Blind, no. 2 ,\" and \"Trapeze Disrobing Act \" offer the type of humorous burlesque seen on the vaudeville stage. The latter makes fun of the stereotypical unsophisticated \"rube\" who came to view burlesque. \"Kiss Me\" pokes fun at burlesque entertainment by featuring real burlesque posters on a wall with a poster of a woman that comes alive before a fascinated male spectator.
