Hi Sylvia, For man the name is "call boy" or Gigolo, I remember the song,
100 years ago,"Schoener Gigolo, armer Gigolo, denke nicht mehr an die
Zeiten, wo Du als Husar, goldverschnuert sogar, konntest durch die Strassen
reiten, Uniform passe, etc. he was once a officer,hyrang, than after the war
he became a gigolo....
