In addition - oh, but what's the use? Who
ever managed to paint the lily with complimentary words or gild refined
gold with fancy phrases? The region bounded by Post, Bush, Mason and
Taylor Streets contains San Francisco's most famous clubs. Any Congress
of Eugenists wishing to establish a standard of male beauty for the
human race has only to place a moving-picture machine at the entrance of
any one of these - let us say the Athletic Club. The results will at the
same time enrapture and discourage a dazzled world. I will prophesy that
some time those same enfranchised women of California are going to
realize the danger of such a sight bursting unexpectedly on the
unprepared woman tenderfoot. Then they'll rope off that dangerous area,
establish guards at the corners and put up "Stop! Look! Listen!" signs
where they'll do the most good. And as proof of all these statements, I
refer you to that array of young gods, filing endlessly over the
sporting pages of the California newspapers.
And I'll pay for the privilege. What the Chamber of Commerce ought to
do, though, is to advertise that this concession will be put up at
auction. Indeed, if this sale were made an annual event, women bidders
would flock to California from all over the world.
