An unnamed Nyack resident witnessed nude bathing at Hook Mountain Park with 18 to 25 year old women and 20 to 40 year old men, glittering headlights drawing insects as revelers fled before police. Reports described similar nude gatherings at small lakes and a fashion of bare legs over car doors. In Berlin, Erik Charell announced German shows will reduce nudity, favor intelligence, and feature a German chorus with clothes, signaling a shift from extravagant nudity to curated performances.
