3. Partial description of a Georgia Sothern stage performance from the book "This was Burlesque" by Ann Corio, who herself had been one of the all-time 'greats' among the more than 2,000 strippers that had performed in burlesque houses.:

"Georgia stripped and teased, but that was only a minor part of her act. Her music 'Hold That Tiger" was played by the orchestra at full blast and full tempo, and Georgia came on stage in full flight ... and she'd work up momentum. Faster and faster the music would roar, and Georgia would be at the front of the stage, one hand cascading her long red hair over her face, the other outstretched to keep her balance as her hips blurred back and forth at a fantastic tempo."

"The mere sight of this red hot red-headed temptress tossing her hips in fantastic abandon to the wild music of the band caught up everybody in its spell."

"By the time she was finished, the whole theatre seemed to explode in a sigh. The audience was almost as exhausted watching as Georgia was performing."

"She did an act that no one who ever saw would ever forget."
