26 SCREENLAND Mr. and Mrs. John Barrymore's The Famous Stars Offer For the Five Best Letters John Barrymore and Dolores Costello want to know what kind of a picture you would like to see them co-star in. Costume drama, or modern comedy drama? Can you suggest any particular book or play that could be adapted to suit their screen requirements? For the five best letters on the subject the Barrymores offer five twenty-dollar gold pieces. By 'best letter1 is meant the most interesting suggestion written in the clearest and cleverest style. A new portrait of Dolores Costello Barrymore. W ouldn't you like to see her play opposite her husband? ^either John Barrymore nor Dolores Costello has ever offered a gift contest before. Mr. Barrymore is one of the most reserved and secluded of all motion picture stars, preferring to let his screen personality speak for him. Personal appearances, interviews, autographing pictures — all such things are taboo. But he is really interested in this Screenland gift contest. It is his first gesture of comradeship towards his many fans. His wife, Dolores Costello, joins him in this friendly offer. $100 in prices of 5 $20 gold pieces for the 5 best letters.
