Africana Waters, Ethel performer Baby and Bobby Goiner performer Black Dots (Taylor & Johnson) performer Glen and Jenkins performer Dancer, Earl performer Eddie and Sonny performer Theatrical Performance 1927-07-11 Royale Theater Though she is best remembered for her singing and, late in her career, for her surprisingly warm dramatic acting, a number of reviewers were especially taken by Ethel Waters' eccentric, loose-limbed dancing. The Times was sufficiently impressed with her stepping to hail her as a "dusky Charlottte Greenwood." The Times also fell into line by giving special praise to the dancing in Rang Tang. "First rate dancing is a concomitant of all negro shows" it proclaimed for anyone who by this time didn't know what was expected of black revues. The paper waxed ecstatic about the jungle choreography of "Monkeyland." Dances included black bottom, cakewalk, shimmy, strut, tap dance.
