## Prompt

```text
Create a square 1:1 black-and-white 1930s rubber-hose cartoon scene with faded sepia toning and aged film texture. Center a cheerful anthropomorphic tuxedo cat named {character_name} performing on a small wooden theater stage at night, drawn with thick hand-inked outlines, rounded limbs, white gloves, oversized oval eyes, a big open smile, pointed ears, whiskers, and a white belly and paws. The cat is in an exaggerated squash-and-stretch dance pose: one leg crossed forward, tail lifted behind, left arm raised high holding a straw boater hat with a dark band, right arm stretched outward in a welcoming gesture. The setting is an old vaudeville street-stage corner: wooden floorboards curve across the foreground, four glowing footlights line the front edge, heavy theater curtains and a decorative proscenium column frame the right side, and a framed poster leaning on the right reads “{poster_text}” in large vintage serif lettering. In the background on the left, show a cobblestone alley with soft-focus old buildings, a tall ornate streetlamp, a small fire hydrant, and a hanging sign that reads “{alley_sign_text}” with a small paw print. Use a monochrome palette of charcoal black, warm gray, cream highlights, and sepia stains; add organic film grain, dust flecks, subtle scratches, dark rounded-corner vignette, uneven cel-paint shading, and controlled line boil. Keep the composition charming, theatrical, hand-drawn, and authentically vintage; avoid modern CGI, glossy 3D rendering, bright color, clean vector edges, or contemporary typography.
