"THE CRUCIBLE" CONTEST PICTURE HAS FOUND ITS NAME As announced in the March and May issues, a $5.00 gold prize was offered for the best title and fifty-word interpretation of the accompanying nameless picture. Many clever, interesting and appropriate answers were received from all parts of the country, and for many hours the judges in charge of the contest were kept guessing, tossed between the respective allurements of our readers' answers. The picture has been named "The Crucible" by Charles B. Welsh, Department of State, Washington, D. C., and the prize has been awarded to him. We take great pleasure in publishing his interpretation of the picture, as well as several other clever ones: THE CRUCIBLE. Restless humanity is poured into the play-garden of the great sod Screen, there to be soothed and reformed in the light of his reflected moods, and again run out upon life's highway better east in mind and spirit, possessing the secret of future happy hours — the Motion Picture Magazine. THE LEAVENER. "That which makes a general assimilating change in a mass or aggregate." In ibis case enjoyable relaxation, sadly needed by those going in, already received in generous measure by those coming out. The cheapest, quickest, easiest, most convenient way to find the mislaid, rosecolored glasses. 2103 Ravenna Boulevard, Seattle, Wash. Mrs. L. T. Stewabt. THE RESCUE. Rescued from the Grasp of the Grouch and put in tune again with the harmony and the jov of life. They go in ill-natured, irritable, jarring: they come out refreshed, smiling, happy. And a nickel buys this greatest gift of science to the human family. Tampa, Fla. Edwin D. Lambbight. THE MAGIC SCREEN. The screen, endowed with magic, turns grief and misery and woe into contentment, happiness and jov. People enter with careworn faces and emerge transformed. Cares are forgotten, doubts and misery are cast aside. Life assumes new aspects and the world seems better thru the divine inspirations with which the screen appears to be endowed.
