1) Early film was not too sensitive. And what with 2) a moving figure, 3) in veils, 4) indoors, 5) in changing weather conditions, a dancing figure did not appear on the film. But immobile architecture did.

What was 6) a dancing girl doing there? Many ancient temples were in part filled with prostitutes, sex workers. 7) Though some didn't want this to be known.
