Shock For Royal Academy
NUDES FAIL, BUT
VEGETABLES
ATTRACT
London's great picture mar. ket, the Royal Academy, which closed on August 20, has re- ceived several shocks.
WAR
Attendance this year lower than last year's (though official figures are not yet avail- able).
Only 310 pictures out of 1,358| have been sold.
Only £12,778 has been collect- ed from buyers in contrast with £17,500 in 1920,
The excuse given for the last ten years for the comparative unpopu larity of the Academy has been that "people have not the money 'to spend.' This year the excuse a "the fine weather and counter- Jubilee .uttractions have kept people away, They have spent their money in other places."

sold.
