D, Personnel Section, Camp Grant, 111., has the distinction of being one of the few men to make a place in an honor roll thus far. Mr. Hennes had stage experience at college and he studied music for seven years. He is an excellent athlete. Mr. Hennes has brown eyes, black hair and is six feet three in height. The Motion Picture Classic for May will carry the sixth honor roll, presenting the seven best contestants entering their pictures between February 15th and March 1st. The Motion Picture Magazine will follow with the honor roll for March 1st to March 15th. This 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 examination by the judges for the monthly honor rolls. Pictures may be lost in handling and we cannot guarantee the safe return of portraits. If your pictures were entered before February 15th and you have not won a place on any of the honor rolls, try again. Because you have submitted one or more pictures does not bar you from trying again. The quality of your portrait, 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. from page 69) 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 w-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 Magazine and The Motion Picture Classic. 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 wanner 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.
