Show A HIGHLY MORAL COUNCIL. Billposters Have to Cover Actresses' Limbs Before Advertisements Can be Displayed. Detroit, April 8. Detroit is laughing over the results of its latest moral streak. The common council adopted a resolution forbidding the exposure of highly colored theatrical posters and similar advertisements. The Griswold street theater had a line of variety show paper to put up ou Monday which came within the prohibition. It was held off the board3 until today, when the billposters made its posting feasible. They cut red paper into dress forms ifnd pasted them over the bare limbs of the actresses in the lithographs. The posters are now attracting at-tracting much more attention than they would have been if left alone. |
