to spend their junior year at the affiliated school in Switzerland, the University of Fribourg.
So, three weeks before the PHOTOPLAY-Warner Bros, award was made, Jane sailed for Europe and a thrilling year at the foreign university. Two days before the boat landed in France, she celebrated her 21st birthday.
Her parents are not wealthy. Sending Jane to college abroad means sacrifice to them. Just before she sailed Jane said, "Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could do something to earn my own way?" So that is where the $2,000 will go, to continue the education of a girl who may some day be one of the great literary figures of America.
And yet her parents did not know that their daughter had entered the contest! That's the sort of girl Jane is. She did not want them to become unduly excited or disappointed if she did not win.
But the family were all singularly unsurprised by the announcement. Jane has always had a way of coming through with unexpected victories and triumphs. No one had known of her entering the newspaper essay contest three years before until the publication announced it by a telephone message and reporters from the Philadelphia newspapers asked her to pose for their cameramen!
Apparently Jane's family wouldn't be bowled over if they were suddenly told that Jane had been elected President of the United States.
And not until this issue of Photoplay appears on the news stands will Jane receive the cable telling her that she has won the contest.
This is our handsome hero, David Manners, who will have the other principal part in Miss Jane Considine's winning story, "Beauty and the Boss"
Here's the lucky girl. Name : Jane Considine. Age :
21. Her first attempt at writing for the screen has
brought her fame and fortune. She typifies the best
of young American womanhood
A reporter from Photoplay made a trip to Philadelphia to discover what manner of person Jane Considine is. She is a native of Philadelphia, born in the house, comfortable and unpretentious, that she and her family still call home, in a pleasant section of the city. She has an older sister Mary, a sixteen-year-old brother Jimmie, and little sister Betty, who is twelve.
Jane's father, James P. Considine, was manager of the old Philadelphia North American newspaper for twenty years. Mary E. Considine, Jane's mother, was for many years a contributor to the magazine section of the Philadelphia "Record," writing articles and stories of interest to children and advice on marketing and household helps for the women's pages. So there's "printer's ink" in Jane's veins.
Jane had already sailed for Europe when the fateful manuscript was chosen, but from the family the reporter learned much about the winner. [ please turn to page 121 ]
