From The Indianapolis Star, Sunday, November 28, 1920: Aphrodite, one of the greatest stage sensations, was not nearly as shocking as painted. The much discussed and supposedly wicked and immoral Aphrodite has come and gone from our midst and the city is none the worse for it. Those zealous guardians of this fair city’s morals went to opening night at the Murat in order to determine whether Aphrodite was safe for the masses, and apparently were not shocked sufficiently to insist on adorning the fair and rather naked feminine members of the big cast with tights or the toning down of impassioned utterances of Demetrois or the alluring courtesan Chrysis. What threatened to be a most trying week for the self-appointed guardians of our morals passed off tamely in view of the advance preparations for the salvation of the city.
