The First Honor Roll (Continued from page 49) to seven, whose portraits are herewith reproduced. Some facts about the first contestants to win a place in The Fame and Fortune Honor roll will be of decided interest. Ethel Doll lives at No. 422 Scott Street, Youngstown, Ohio. Her experience has been limited to amateur theatricals. _ She has blue eyes, light brown hair and is an ideal blonde type. Gertrude M. Crawford's home is at No. 25 Orlando Street, Springfield, Mass. She has had no professional experience. Like Miss Doll, she is a blonde type, altho her eyes are grayish blue. She lacks one inch of being five feet in height. Little Dorothy Williams, of No. 1225 West 19th Street, Spokane, Wash., has had slight screen experience._ She is just four years old and has grayish blue eyes and golden hair. Pearl Anus is a New York girl, living at 64 East 119th Street. "Brown hair and blue eyes," says Miss Anus in describing herself. Jeanne Juliette Pere is another New York maid, living at 509 West 160th Street. She is a Belgian, having been born at Antwerp. Exactly five feet three inches in height is Miss Pere, with brown eyes and brown hair. Mary Helen Guy lives at Fifth and Arlington avenues, Columbus, Ohio. She has played in college theatricals and small roles in the Keith stock company in that city. Miss Guy is a blonde with blue eyes. Kathryn Louise Conant has had some slight screen experience. She lives at 1225 West 19th Avenue, Spokane, Wash. She was born in Spokane, her hair is brown and her eyes are gray blue. Oddly, Spokane contributed two winners to the first honor roll from the same address. So much for the first honor contestants. The most promising contestants entered between December 15 and January 1 will be published in the March issue of The Motion Picture Classic. The Motion Picture Magazine for April will follow with the honor roll for January 1 to 15. This will be continued until the close of the contest. 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 which 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 Magazine and The Motion Picture Classic. 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 moment, thus getting, if possible, an early place on these rolls. It is important, if you have already won a place on the honor roll, that you submit at least several more pictures to be used later by the judges. In this case, contestants should write the words "honor roll" across the face of the entrance coupon which is attached to the portrait. The words should be written in red ink, to be plainly distinguished. Let us briefly outline the purpose of the contest once more : The two magazines will give two years' guaranteed publicity to the winner. This will include cover portraits in colors, special interviews, pictures, special articles, etc. — the sort of publicity that could not be purchased at any price. The Motion Picture Magazine and The Motion Picture Classic will secure an initial position for the winner and other opportunities, if necessary. At the end of two years The Motion Picture Magazine and The Motion Picture Classic guarantee that the winner will be known thruout the civilized world. The Fame and Fortune jury includes : Mary Pickford, Thomas Ince, Cecil de Mille, Maurice Tourneur, Commodore J. Stuart Blackton, James Montgomery Flagg, Howard Chandler Christy and Eugene V. Brewster. The terms of the contest follow : 1. Open to any young woman, or man, in the world, except those who have already played prominent screen or stage roles. 2. Contestants must submit a portrait, upon the back of which must be pasted a coupon from either The Motion Picture Magazine or The Motion Picture Classic, or a similar coupon of their own making. 3. Contestants can submit any number of portraits, but upon the back of each must be pasted an entrance coupon. ®1°^^™ > S)efy theWin ds and Weat/ier Sharp winds that cut the face and wither the bloom of beautiful complexions can be defied with impunity with just a little extra care.
