Cubitt
In San Diego, Calif., Florence (''Tanya") Cubitt, 20, lissome, blonde employe of the California Pacific International Exposition's Midway nudist colony, won national notoriety by the simple device of telling newshawks, before she got on a plane in Los Angeles, that when she got out at Chicago she would be naked "to advance the cause of nudism." Chicago cameramen mobbed the plane, were chagrined when Miss Cubitt emerged fully dressed. She hastened to explain that the plane's pilots and stewardess had forced her to keep her clothes on. However, she promised to be naked when she landed at Newark Airport. When the plane arrived there, the Newark vice squad was on hand and Miss Cubitt remained clothed. Nevertheless, once safe in her Manhattan hotel. Nudist Cubitt fully compensated cameramen by posing mother-naked on a stair-rail, exhibiting herself nude in a bathtub full of floating oranges. By this time, her fellow nudists back in San Diego agreed that Tanya Cubitt had "done most for nudism.'' elected her U. S. Queen of the Nudists. Doing still more for nudism. Miss Cubitt granted the following interview on her work:
"It is swell being a nudist. Since I have been here in New York I have had lobsters almost every night and real French champagne. My press agent said for me to say that the girls in the night clubs besmirch the cause of nudism but I think they are very sweet. I would like to be in a night club myself. . . .
"My mother and father think nudism is swell. It does not keep us out late at night and we have a healthy atmosphere to work in. Of course, my girl-friends think we have orgies and all that, but I never had an orgy yet. ... I am not engaged now but I have been engaged to four men and they thought it was all right for me to be a nudist."
