MALE AND FEMALE.
Sir,-Your correspondent, D. Scott; Presents us with a rather new point of view in her letter "Male and Female." Many, if not most of the world’s masterpieces of sculpture are of the unclad male and female form, but there is nothing crude or vulgar about them, They are genuine works of art, so why not have the same to-day in the modern equivalent of sculpture-the photograph? Did those ancient artists rely solely upon their imaginations for inspiration? I hardly think so. Have your nude photographs by all means, only let them be things of beauty and forbid the lewd poses of the film -magazine which are calculated to appeal to the baser instincts. These need no encouragement; the films and the film magazines have done enough damage already to a grievously lowered moral code and it is high time something were done to raise their standard very considerably. A thing of beauty lives for ever, so why not artistic photegraphs of the human body and cut out all the foul micrarq
resentations?
