Gold -Piece Prize Contest
Five $20. Gold Pieces Answering their Question
"ot since "The Sea Beast1' and "When a Man Loves" have these two famous stars appeared together on the screen. John Barrymore discovered the beautiful girl who later became his wife when she was playing 'bits' at the Warner Brothers Studio and he was looking for a leading lady for "The Sea Beast." The delicate charm of the daughter of Maurice Costello captured the interest of America's great actor and he requested that the lovely little unknown be given an opportunity to prove her talent in his picture. You all know the result: with the release of "The Sea Beast" a new favorite was born. Dolores Costello's grace and beauty and ability won the hearts of her audiences. The Barrymore-Costello team became one of the most popular combinations in motion pictures. They played together again in "When a Man Loves" and both earned new laurels. And now that Dolores is a star in her own right, and the exquisite love scenes enacted on the screen were made reality when John Barrymore married his leading woman, the Barrymores want their fans to suggest what kind of a picture they should co-star in — costume drama or modern comedy drama; and they will welcome suggestions of any particular book or play which could be adapted for them. The prize offer is $100 — in prizes of five $20 gold pieces, for the five most interesting; letters.
A close-up of the celebrated Barrymore profile. The star himself prefers to play roles which offer him opportunity to characterize. The famous Barrymore voice will first be heard from the screen in "General Crack," a special production starring America's greatest romantic actor.

1 he Costello-Barrymore romance is one of the favorite real-life love stories of Hollywood. Like that of Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, and Joan Crawford and Doug Jr., the Barrymore romance was born in the colorful atmosphere of the studio, and presents the always-fascinating picture of two great stars turning screen love scenes into the real thing!
