Her realistic performance contributed to the scandal and the show was cancelled within days. By public demand, Froelich immediately began performing her opera choreography at the Lincoln Square Variety Theater before wildly enthusiastic audiences. Salome might have been a new character, but at the turn of the century the genre of Oriental erotic dance was as fashionable as ever.
