PHOTOPLAY'S second cut puzzle contest is decided! From the more than thirty-live thousand solutions received in the Cut Puzzle Contest that appeared in the June, July, August and September issues, Photoplay lias now selected the winners of the fifty prizes. The names of the winners are published herewith.
Selecting these winners was almost the most difficult problem Photoplay has ever handled. Puzzles to right of us, puzzles to left of us, hundreds of them perfect, nearly all ingeniously worked out, Photopi \v was deluged with them. They were so numerous that an entire extra lloor in Photoplay's New York office building had to be leased to hold them. In every way these thousands of entries far exceeded every anticipation of the management. A special staff of employees worked on them constantly, sorting and listing them. Every puzzle was carefully examined. Every one was acknowledged.
In our first cut puzzle contest, held two years ago, the
36
thousands of solutions were finally sorted down to those that were perfect as far as proper fitting together and identification were concerned.
It took more than a month, however, to eliminate the incorrect puzzles, to search the others for minor errors, misspelled names and other slight defects. Every prize winning solution was one hundred per cent perfect.
The terrific task of picking out the fifty best puzzles of all. of choosing the ones revealing the greatest neatness and imaginative detail, the ones that were in everv way superior in arrangement and presentation, was still to be done.
l'liey were all so excellent. That was the hard part of it. The judges selected from Photoplay's staff had many long and heated arguments before the final decisions were made. Each and all of them feel that the awards published here are entirely fair and just.
Every form of presentation was submitted. Stars in picture
