M. Jean Borlin, bastard son of the king of Sweden, has come to Paris to show us his thighs and his navel. ... In one of his latest choreographic manifestations [L'Homme et son desir], he appears completely naked. Naked women, on stage, that finally can be understood. It is permissible for a daughter of Eve to believe herself well enough made to show her nakedness to all passersby; and besides, women have no shame, everyone knows that.... The naked man is permissible only as a gladiator.... In any case, leave us alone with all these polar choreographies! Or, at least, please show us only female dancers. Enough male dancers! And I'm surprised that a poilu [French World War I soldier] has not yet protested against these exhibitions of hairless bodies
