The PICTUREGOER £500 Popularity Contest is in its closing stages. Hurry up with your votes.
Filling in the coupons should be a labour of love for every kinema fan, but valuable prizes will fall to those who know what the public wants.
No one should know this better than the public itself. so consider carefully the ten stars. Think of their work in this film and that film, think of their films as entertainment compared each with the other, then unscrew your fountain pen and get to work filling in coupons. You are not tied down to one vote, you may send in as many as you please, but closing time is upon you and you will have to make your decision now.
Remember your vote may turn the scale in the favour of your best-beloved stars, so do not be content to look on whilst more energetic enthusiasts carry off the spoils. And there is no entrance fee whatsoever.
Last month a number of the leading kinema managers expressed eulogistic views on THE PICTUREGOER competition, and exhibitors everywhere are co-operating to make the contest a record success. Mr. F. W. Graham, Managing Director of Grand Amusements Ltd., Burnley. writes :
" I consider THE PICTUREGOER scheme an admirable one. It will arouse great interest everywhere, as it certainly deserves to do. I have announced the contest at every performance, and every patron has received one of your competition sheets, which have been eagerly sought after."
And now, PICTUREGOER readers, it's up to you. Remember, Saturday, March 7th is the last day for entries, and, if you have not voted already, get busy at once and let us have your views. You may send in as many entries as you like but an official coupon must be enclosed with each attempt.
Who is the most popular screen star? The decision rests with you.

Saturday, March 7th is the last date for sending in your voting coupons, so if you are out to win that first prize of £250 keep an eye on the calendar.
