MOTION PICTURES ARE YOUR BEST ENTERTAINMENT
JEAN ARTHUR
LIONEL BARRYMORE EDWARD ARNOLD
The lovable characters whom thousands of Americans enjoyed In the Pulitzer prixe play are vividly recreated in the Frank Capra production — a most human story of people who dared to lead their own happy lives.
Why is Alice Sycamore irately bawling out everyone in this courtroom scene?

MOVIE QUIZ PRIZE LIST
AS STATED before, you do not have to check the answer to all of the 100-odd pictures in the booklet. Only check 30 of them. Remember that: check exactly 30, no more, no less.
Now — after you have answered the questions about any 30 of the movies, write a statement of not more than 50 words, naming the motion picture you liked best, and why you preferred it to any of the others in the list of pictures. Do not try to be "literary." Fancy writing and phraseology are not necessary. Simply write as though you were telling a friend why the picture appealed to you.
Only one 50-word letter may accompany your set of 30 answers. The statement may be typewritten or in longhand, on one side of the paper only. Fancy penmanship or artistic writing, the judges tell us, will not influence their decision. They also advise contestants not to waste time and effort decorating their answer to Movie Quiz. What the judges want in your 50-word statement is simply a frank, honest opinion, not a beautifully written essay.
Movie Quiz entries will be judged by the highest number of correct answers to questions about the 30 pictures you select. In case of ties, the 50-word statements will be graded on the basis of sincerity, merit, originality [Continued on page 63]
