Greatest of All Popularity Contests
Unique Competition in Which the Voters Share in the Prizes
WHO IS THE ONE GREAT STAR OF THE SCREEN?
Is it CHARLIE CHAPLIN or ELSIE FERGUSON ? Is it RICHARD BARTHELMESS or WILLIAM S. HART?
Concerning this matter there is great difference of opinion. Every fan, in fact, has his own idol. The Wall street broker swears by MARY PICKFORD; his wife thinks TOM MIX is the best actor the cinema has produced: the office boy has a "crush'' on THEDA BAR A and the stenographer collects photographs of DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS.
What do you think? If you had a vote would you give it to NAZIMOVA or to LILLIAN GISH? Would you vote for a man or a woman or for little BEN ALEXANDER?
Shadowland, Motion Picture Magazine, and Motion Picture Classic — the three great magazines of the Motion Picture world — have decided to refer this question to their readers by taking a popular, world-wide vote. In regard to matters concerning the stage and theater their audience is the most intelligent and discerning: the most wide-awake and well-informed in the world today. If any picture patrons can pick out the leading star, it will be those who read Shadowland, the Magazine and Classic.
The coupons will show you how to enter your own name and the name of your favorite player. But you may vote on an ordinary sheet of paper provided you make it the same size and follow the wording of these coupons. We prefer the printed coupons for uniformity and convenience in counting.
There will be prizes for voters and prizes for stars.
Votes re^i-tered in Class Number 1 will probably be cast by favor. Votes registered in Class mber 2 will call for a wide knowledge of the Motion Picture business, keen powers of perception and skill at detecting the trend of popular favor. You cannot guess the winner offhand.
