A posture-and-beauty system marketed under the registered trade mark Erectitude, its whole principle stated on the title page: lengthen the line between the chin and the waist and you will lengthen your years. Malmstead, author of Your Face and Figure (Penn, 1931), holds that the forward-bending drills of conventional physical culture throw the body off balance and prescribes backward-bending attitudes instead, worked through twelve regional routines (hips, waist and abdomen; chin, waistline and abdomen; and so on) and followed by chapters on standing, sitting and walking, skin, neck, plucked eyebrows and dyed hair, feet and poise. The title page states that Miss Malmstead herself posed for Tonya the artist, whose striking full-page plates render her as an elongated, bob-haired Art Deco nude in ankle-strap heels against diagonal bands and arcs, in the manner of Erté. Released by Dutton on 25 September 1935, it was reviewed by Kirkus, which found it a bit over-ebullient but the basic facts sound, and by the Journal of the American Medical Association on 18 January 1936. The final page carries the author's notice that the system is hers and that she will prosecute anyone who teaches it without her authorization.
