Motion Picture Classic (May 1921 - Dec 1927)

from the thousands that hope to be reflected in the American Beauty Mirror Do You Wish Your Face Reflected There? IMPORTANT Brewster Publications herewith announces the closing date of the American Beauty Contest — December 15, 1922. Any photographs received bearing a postmark of a later date will be disregarded. You still have time to become an entrant. Read the simple rules and consider the splendid rewards that may come to you. We are not looking for a movie heroine, or a stage star, or an intellectual wonder, or a personality crank. We are looking for Beauty — and we are going to find her — the most beautiful woman in America ! This is an unprecedented offer. Do not fail to take advantage of it. Send us your photograph. That is all that is required of you. Think what you may* win — just because you happened to be born beautiful. Scrupulous care will be taken of every picture received. ALL of them will be examined by the contest judges. THE REWARDS REMEMBER The judges of our Beauty Contest are well-known artists, writers and editors. All photographs of entrants will be turned over to the Metropolitan Magazine, from which they will select photographs to be used on the Metropolitan Cover Contest. THE RULES 1. No photographs will be returned. 2. No exceptions will be made to this rule. 3. Winners will be notified. 4. Snapshots, strip pictures, or colored photographs will not be considered. Outside of these, any kind of picture will be accepted; full length or bust, full face of profile, sepia or black. You may submit as many photographs as you wish. 5. Photographers, artists, friends and admirers may enter pictures of their favorites. Credit will be given photographers whenever possible. 6. Do not ask the contest manager to discuss your chances. He has nothing to do with that end of it. 7. Do not write letters. The close of the contest will be announced in To the woman who our illustrious judges shall decide is the most beautiful in America, will be given : 1. A trip to New York, properly chaperoned, and a chance to take in the pleasures which only that great city affords : the opera, the theaters, our wonderful library, the famous “East Side,” great museums, the celebrated Greenwich Village, all the luxurious and beautiful shops on the most luxurious and beautiful street in the world — Fifth Avenue — and so on. 2. A well-known American artist will paint her portrait. 3. A representative American sculptor will model her head. 4. These works of art will be exhibited in one of the leading art galleries in New York City and elsewhere. 5. She will have her picture on the cover of Beauty magazine. There will be a second prize and a third prize, and possibly more. These will be announced later. In view of the fact that the American Beauty may be found in New York City, or its immediate vicinity, the prize in her case will be $1,000, instead of the visit to New York.
