MAE WEST'S screen lover? there are a lot of people in this world who might be happier if the bottom of their pocketbooks didn't show through the long green so often. So-o-o-o-o-o, out of the kindness of our hearts, we intend to make it worth your while to vote for this Gable-West idea. SOMEWHERE hereabouts you'll find all the glittery details, details that instruct you in the art of winning prizes for relieving your mind. Ladies and gentlemen, how can you lose? And now, if you're still with us, what can you do with that money? Don't be silly, of course there's something you can buy. How about that lovely pair of pajamas you swooned over on High Street last week, or that shipshape bridge lamp you didn't get as a prize at the club? CONTEST RULES 1. First prize will be $50.00; second, $25.00; and five third prizes of $5.00 each. 2. Contestant may submit as many entries as he chooses. The ballot below may be used, or a replica of it. 3. Contestant shall vote "yes" or "no" to the question "Would you like to see Clark Cable and Mae West together in a picture?" In addition, they shall give their reason for or against in twenty or fewer words. 4. No employees of Modern Screen or members of employees' families are eligible to compete. 5. In case of ties for any prize, duplicate prizes will be awarded. 6. Send all entries to Contest Editor, Modern Screen Magazine, 100 Fifth Avenue, New York City before midnight, Sept. 15, 1933. If you like the scheme, say so. If you don't, say so. On paper, of course. If you give us your reason for or against it in twenty words or less, you've got a chance to win any one of seven different awards. The best reasons why you would or would not like to see Clark Gable and Mae West together in a picture will win the prizes. The first prize is $50.00. Second prize is $25.00. And the next five entries picked by the judges will receive $5.00 each. For your convenience we've printed a tidy little ballot at the bottom of this page. Use it, if you wish, or send us your vote and reason on your own stationery. Get your vote in early. It must be mailed before midnight, September 15, 1933. And remember, the best reasons win the prizes. Prizes announced in our December issue. I would not J West together in a picture. | would Name Address City and State Reason (20 words or less) 15
