A "Hall of Fame" with the portraits made to fit inside, draws second prize of $750 for Robert L. Holmes
scrambled parts, and a greater number in the naming, and still more in the spelling of the names of the stars.
Charles Rogers seemed to be the chief stumbling block, so far as proper identification was concerned. For some reason or other he was credited with being anyone from Grant Withers to Reginald Denny.
Yet, as one of the successful contestants said in a letter: 'Through the aid of PHOTOPLAY, of which I have a complete file since the January, 1°27, issue, the naming of the stars was an easy matter and a very pleasant diversion."
This book of stars proved to be worth
$500 to Mrs. V. R. Haney. It was
awarded third prize
MWV came to grief in their spelling of Ramon N'ovarro's n line. Again and again it was found that though the sections of the thirty-two faces of the puzzle had been correctly assembled, the entry had to be discarded because of a mistake in a single letter.
The error consisted in spelling the first syllable of Xovarro with "a" instead of with "o "
Often also, Corinne Griffith's first name was credited with one "r-" too many, thus making it read "Corrinnc," and an extra "r" in Sue Carol's name was the cause, likewise, of many a fatality.
Nothing— neither cleverness of arrangement nor neatness of assembling could offset these mistakes. There were too many
with entirely correct solutions to make it possible to give them a chance.
The mentioning of these mistakes may be helpful to all in submitting entries in future cut picture puzzles. The spelling of every name and the identity of every face can always be verified by consulting a file of PHOTOPLAY Magazine.
Many readers of Photoplay Magazine apparently look forward to this annual Contest. Letters accompanying many of the entries bear out that statement. A lot of those who fail to win one year come back the next. There are among those taking top prizes in the present list of winners the names of one or more who have striven unsuccessfully in previous years, to triumph now.
One must conclude from the fertility of imagination exhibited
Charles Collins is paid $300
— fourth prize— for putting
the stars in these comfortable
dressing bungalows
Around their bright symbol, Mrs. Mamie Cardarel clusters the stars represented in the Contest and wins fifth prize, $200
