Title
Into Your Dance
Description
Note: This film contains racist imagery.
When a showboat visits town, the Captain holds an amateur night; the only issue is that all of the acts lack talent.
One of the performers is a gruff-looking fellow, but the moment he recites his memorized poem, he reveals himself as a queer coded character with a lisp and effeminate mannerisms. However, when he hears a boxing bell ring, he reverts back to his tough guy behavior.
