•Nudity Of Women
Losing “Novelty”
Raleigh Times.
Speaking: in no offensive sense
we would not trust Mayor Jimmie
Walker of New York, very far in
the matter of his eart iui publicity
of forcing -lie Broadway shows.to
be “clean.” Not any more than we
take his establishment of a 3 a. ni.
curfew for supper elubs as a moral
gesture. Mayor Walker is an habi
tue of night life in all its as
pects* ana he can be depended on
to work for its interest rather than
it,, disadvantage.
When New York’s mayor bangs
the table and tells theatre opera
torr. that they must be decent, it
may be depended (apon that they
have come c<» the same conclusion
and are ready for tile fact to be
advertised. Incidentally, their dec
ency means no more than their in
decency; and neither means any
thing except that the public, to oe
•..roused, must have novelty.
“Jnri'eceri't” shows, as the terms
has come to be accepted, mean
nude women and the utterance on
.he stage of the grosser expletives
and “he-Jpkss” which are old stuff
to any man of the slightest soph
istication. The demand of women
for equality has made it possible
to make such exhibits before them
in private and i:i public, but the
face has been :■ novelty birth to
! men and women. Hence, the woman
without clothes and the unfumigat
ed cess pool humor.
For two or three years the sanv
thing was happening in boohs
which has been popular o;i the
stage. Best sellers Were no me re
than de.aife;' w-ounts - n* seduc
tions in low life, or brothel trAf■
ners in characters in gilt frames.
Books have been swinging back to
wit and cleverness, because the
public tired of tiie banality. It is
the same with uir> show. Nothing
after a little is more tiresome than
a processon of naked women or a
succession of verbal vulgarities. Of
all bores, the most intolerable is
■ the profane person without variety
in the lire of his obscenities.
