Margaret Gibson Wins First Prize for Having the Prettiest Bathing Suit By GRACE LAVENDER THE WINNING BATHING COSTUMES MARGARET GIBSON CENTER, MABEL VAN BUREN TO HER LEFT When the annual bathing girls' automobile parade was held at Ocean Park, Gal., all the swimmers around the beach started to get busy making bathing-suits. Little Miss Margaret Gibson, the charming leading lady of the Western Vitagraph, also got busy and, knowing the heart interest of Elks, bethought herself to represent that grand lodge in the parade. Forthwith she went to a. fancy dressmaker and posed for a bathing-suit. The suit was made of silk, purple and white, and when the day of the big parade on the promenade came, Margaret was the applauded one. The first prize carried with it the honor of being the handsomest girl with the niftiest suit, $50 and a beautiful silver and gold loving-cup. Of course this little champion of the 128 screen had to carry off first prize, and she did it well, too. Eddie Dillon, of Mutual fame, and W. H. Clune, the Southern California movie magnate, were two of the judges, and they decided right away that Miss Gibson was the winner of first prize, and it was on no account of kindredism for being in the same business, either. It was for the merits of the girl and her original bathing-suit. In the morning one of the city papers had the pink sheet first page devoted to the film star, and many cartoons told the tale of the beach parade. Miss Gibson is studying the tango, and has become quite adept at dancing the latest steps, which are being seen much in Los Angeles hotels and at the beach resort dance pavilions, where the society people dance.
