Buster performs his Princess Rajah dance in Hollywood Revue of 1929. You can watch his performance HERE. Buster adapted the dance from Princess Rajah, a vaudeville performer in the early 1900s. You can read (and see a video of her performing the dance herself in 1904) HERE.  Pretty interesting stuff.
