The Dove dance, Americas latest role. The fan dance, having palled on Americas jaded audiences

The Dove dance, America's latest role.
The fan dance, having palled on America's jaded audiences, Rosita Royce has devised a startling new act, where pigeons take the place of the usual fans or balloons.
In the dance a combination of a strip tease and fan dance Rosita has trained her pigeons to perform flight manoeuvres and two light on her body at should strategic moments as she describes.
Photo shows, Rosita Royce, in filmy gown and wing like cape, performs the graceful opening movements of the dance with pigeons perched on a outstretched arms. The birds on either hand flap their wings in time with her movements.
