THE HAWAIIAN INSTITUTC OF MUSIC 1400 Broadway, Suite 804, New York I I The Fame and Fortune Beauties {Continued from page 51) Miss Ethyle Faunce, of No. 760 Hobart Place, N. W., IV ashington, D. C. Miss Faunce was born in the capital city. She has light-brown hair, gray eyes and is five feet three inches in height. The contest has brought forth many interesting angles on national beauty. Texas and the South West seem to be remarkably ])roductive of beauty. The coast has been going remarkably strong. New York, the supposed home and center of national pulchritude, has been barely holding its own. The Motion Picture Magazine for May will carry the fifth honor roll, presenting the seven best contestants entering their pictures between February 1st and PYbruary 15th. The Motion Picture Classic will follow with the honor roll for February 15th to March 1st. I'll is will be continued until the close of the contest. Here are some important things to note : If you wish your portrait or portraits returned, enclose the right amount of postage to cover mailing. Attach stamps to pictures with a clip. Do not place stamps in separate envelope. These pictures will be returned upon examina' tion by the judges for the monthly honor rolls. I If your pictures were entered before February 1st and you have not won a I place on any of the honor rolls, try I again. Because you have submitted one or more pictures does not bar you from j trying again. The quality of your porI trait, weakness of photography, etc., may have had something to do with its failure to win a place. Try not to send hand-colored portraits. In reality these injure your chances of consideration. The judges prefer to consider all contestants equally. Besides, if a colored picture is selected for the honor roll, it will not reproduce as well in an engraving as an ordinary portrait. The contest is open to men. This should be repeated, perhaps. Many masculine contestants have appeared, but, we regret to r-eport, their average hasn’t nearly approached the so-called weaker sex. Upon the closing, the final winner will be selected. Undoubtedly he or she, (as the contest is now open to men), will be selected from among the various semimonthly honor rolls. It is possible that three or four leaders may be chosen and invited to come to New York for test motion pictures, after M'hich the final winner will be decided upon. It is also possible that a first prize may be awarded to both a man and a woman. This will, however, be decided later, an announcement being made in both The Motion Picture Classic and The Motion Picture Magazine. Since the winner will be named from the various honor rolls, it is important that contestants submit their portrait, or portraits, at the earliest possible mon it thus getting, if possible, an early placu these rolls. It is important, if you have alnii won a place on the honor roll, that ij submit at least several more picturfti be used later by the judges. In li case, contestants should write the w di "honor roll” across the face of then trance coupon which is attached to In portrait.
