Moss-Haired Girl —
A "made" human oddity from the 19th century, also known as a "Circassian
girl" (the Circassians are a Caucasian people living in the Caucasus
but not speaking an Indo-European language). A white
woman would stiffen and
bush her hair, much in the style of the 'Afro'
hairdo. The pitch which usually accompanied the act involved
kidnapping by 'Arabs' and being forced into harem life, followed by
a harrowing escape culminating in refuge there in the show.
