The Fame and
Some of the
THE daily mail of The Motion Picture Magazine and The Motion Picture Classic's Fame and Fortune Contest is reaching tremendous proportions, testifying vividly to the remarkable interest manifested in the contest from coast to coast. Not a State in the Union but has entered hundreds of pictures, Canada has contributed a great many, and portraits are now beginning to come in large quantities from other countries. After considerable deliberation the third honor roll of The Fame and Fortune Contest was decided by the judges to include: Blanche McGarity, of 236 Blum Street, San Antonio, Texas ; Ellen Best, of 2544 Fourteenth Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. ; Ruth Cort, 550 West 180th Street, New York City; Glenda Farrell, 2320 Broadway, San Diego, Cal. ; Doris Anita Dibble, 66 West 69th Street, New York City; Bessie May McCook, of 1010 Kelly Street, the Bronx, New York; and Mayme Alice Brown, of 310 Clay Street, Los Angeles, Cal.
It is interesting to note that in the third honor roll three New York girls are represented. Miss McGarity, on the other hand, was born on a ranch near San Antonio. Her people have played a part in Texas history for seventy-five years, a great-uncle, Green McCoy, giving his life in the fall of the Alamo, when a handful of Texans stood off the hordes of Mexico for hours. Miss McGarity is a blonde type, with blue eyes, and she has had some slight motion picture experience in a photoplay called "Forfeit," made near San Antonio, but not yet released. Miss Doris Anita Dibble was a member of the famous Morgan classic dancers for some time. Miss Glenda Farrell was born in Oklahoma, and has had some experience in the chorus, vaudeville and camp entertainments. She has light brown hair, dark-gray eyes and is five feet three inches in height.
