NUDITY ON STAGE
“Too Much Fuss About It”
The recent complaints by rrvmir.ant I’kurchmen about nudity o’, Ike stage have started amusing and siguifieaut discussions. One party sees a barelegged chorus girl as n figure in a dreadful organised orgy. The (thcr party sees her as an innocent performer, whose generous display of powdered skin could only bo regarde 1 a.- evil by an evil mind, (writes J. B. Priestley in the “Star.”) Perhaps there is too much nudity about. But the objection to it is not that it is corrupting the morals of the young, but that it is rapidly decreasing their interest in the opposite sex. If a man wants to be ignorant about something, this present age will supply him with material for • long time without nudity ever being mentioned. There are any number of Icugoverdue reforms that have rmthing to do with stockings and knickers. Any man who has the time and opportunity to make a public fuss about bar? legs also has the time and opportunity to make a still greater fuss shout things more important Iban bare >gs.
