THE GREAT ARTIST COXTEST 123 ing man player and a leading woman player of the same company. By reference to the table of votes in the October number of the magazine, the leading male and female player of each company can be picked out, and the photoplay written to suit their style of acting. (3) No type of play is barred, but contestants should use discretion. Comedies are not wanted for dramatic actors, nor vice versa, and costume plays or those of a past period, and those containing large casts, expensive settings or elaborate physical features, such as railroad wrecks, sinking steamers, etc., are not usually desired. Also foreign and inacccessible locations are not generally favored by the manufacturers. (4) Photoplays should be addressed to Editor Prize Photoplay Contest, 175 Duffield Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., and a self -addressed, stamped envelope should be enclosed. (5) Photoplays should be typewritten, mailed folded, not rolled, and only original work will be considered. Adaptations of novels, short stories, poems, or other printed works are not acceptable. The One-Hundred-Dollar Prize Photoplay Contest will run for a few months only, and, as the contest progresses, contestants will be furnished with a good deal of valuable information concerning photoplays that has not yet found its way into text-books, correspondence schools or photoplay departments. The Answer Man has consented to answer inquiries relative to photoplays, and during the contest these answers will be incorporated into his popular department. Many of our readers have already expressed a desire of submitting plays for their favorite players, and the studios have shown their intention of cooperating with the Motion Picture Magazine. No more fitting climax to the Great Artist Contest can be devised than that a series of fine photoplays should give the public a chance to see and to enjoy the interpretation of selected roles by the prize-winning players of the Great Artist Contest.
