ABOVE: "GAME's OVER. ACROSS THE PAGE: First: "SPECIAL ORDERS" Second "NIGHT WATCH". The artist Bill Mac Lane has drawn on his service experience as a marine combat artist as well as his college days for inspiration for this interesting display of new work. Still a very young man, Bill recognizes his need for many years of work to bring full polish to his work, but we at Physique Pictorial feel that even now he has a wonderful message to tell and the response of most readers has been to bring forth as much of this talented artist's work as we can. To be fully appreciated, these studies should be seen in full color, so Bill has had 35mm color slides prepared on all three illustrated here at $1 each. These can be viewed with an inexpensive $1 viewer (available from AMG or your camera store), or what is truly wonderful is to have a 35mm Projector (we have seen plain but completely satisfactory projectors advertised in the camera magazines for as little as $8.) With such a projector you can provide wonderful slide shows for your friends interested in physical culture with paintings by Mac Lane, Quaintance, etc, and physique models from Athletic Model Guild, Bruce of Los Angeles, and others. Such demonstrations have an invigorating, inspiring effect on all who see them and help to win many additional converts to physical training and healthful living. Bill Mac Lane offers 8x10 actual photographs of his drawings at $1.50 each or all three for $3. His address is box 9012 Queen Ann Station, Seattle 9, Washington.

NEW ARTISTS are encouraged to submit their work to Physique Pictorial. We should like to, but are unable to publish everything submitted. An artist can sell copies of his work himself, or the Mac Lane Studios box 9012 Queen Ann Station Seattle 9 Washington will act as an agent for him, assuming the initial costs of duplication, advertising, licenses etc, and then giving the artist a percentage of the net profit. Without question the field is overcrowded, but there is always room for real talent!.
