“BEACH GIRL” POSTER
A REPLY TO CRITICS. BRIGHTON, July 16. Adverse comment has been made on the poster issued this year by the Brighton Publicity Department. The chief feature of the poster is a smiling girl in a half-sitting, half-recum-bent posture, dressed in a bathing costime which is slipping from her shoulders. Above the figure are the words, “Come down and see me some time.” Mr. C. G. Browne, the Brighton Corporation publicity manager, said to-day that in his opinion the poster was. entirely unobjectionable. In this view, he said, he was supported by the Publicity Committee and by the Town Council, to whom the poster was informally shown before ti was used publicly. “Before we used the design as a poster,” he added, “it was used extensively in Press advertising without receiving any adverse comment, and it has also been exhibited as a poster for several weeks without any complaint. I consider (lie comments are entirely of mind which is 100 years behind the times.”
