Are we sure it's "flapper girls" and not "clever girls"?  "Flapper" would be the obvious historical reference, but the word sounds more like "clever" to me, and "flapper girl" seems redundant - I've not researched this point, but I've always understood "flapper" stood on its own, without needing to be a modifier for "girl".

As regards The Kaiser, could this also be a reference to Kaiser Wilhelm II?
