Holy Egyptology, Batman! Here's a sequential unwrapping from Sensations Revue Mensuelle magazine number 13, 1949. A sublime slice of French cheesecake fluff titled "La Momie", definitely in the burlesque stage show vein of the Folies Bergére.
One of the stills from this set was adapted for the cover art of the University of Vice Records release Primitive Paradise: Early Exotica 1920 - 1947, a great compilation that compiles forgotten 78s of Latin and Hawaiian tunes from the early days of recorded music, before the term "Exotica" became a household term for faux ethnography. I definitely recommend checking out anything University of Vice has put out.
