^^Clovelier kisses'. cious..-iat>" blUnette' It's redder tban ^Ss?b* the fans MODERN SCREEN FAN CLUB ASSOCIATION News: We're just getting under way with a bright, new MSFCA contest with lots of swell prizes to be awarded each month and fun for all. So in order to get things into working order at the very beginning, we've decided to change the quotas of our membership leagues. We think our new system will provide for a more equal division of clubs and will be much fairer to the smaller clubs. Henceforth, League 1 will consist of those clubs having 300 or more members. League 2 — clubs with a total membership of between 101-299. And League 3 clubs will have a total membership of between 10 and 100. This new system will provide more competition in League 1 where it is really needed and less competition in League 3 where our greatest membership is. This is a wonderful opportunity for new clubs to get into the swing of things, and a swell chance for older clubs to show their worth. We think you'll like our new scheme and we'll be awfully glad to hear from you about it. Prizes: We'll still have some of those lovely Elgin-American compacts for some of you lucky correspondents, if you hurry and send us some interesting news about your club. They're all finished in jeweler's bronze and just about the handsomest compact we've seen in many moons. For club editors we have a prize we're sure you'll be mad about. They're little foto stamps, wonderful for your journals or stationery, and we'll be awarding them in blocks of 500 to winning editors. The American Foto Stamp Company is making them for us and we'll have them -of any star you want. Winners in our This Is My Best contest have written us rave letters about the EngerKress wallets they've received. In all the colors of the rainbow, they're specially designed to hold your favorite snaps as well as folding money. Luscious is the only word that aptly describes our Revlon's King's Ransom lipstick set. Seven shades of creamy lipstick with a "gold holder and all in a black-velvet case. 10th Semi-annual TROPHY COT CONTEST 1st Lap This Is My Best: (100 points) "A Pome," Ruth Kellman, Arthur Kennedy journal.
