OC/A SECOND FREE VOTING CONTEST!
Although the British Artistes Contest was a success beyond all our expectations, our new World's Contest, which concerns probably twenty times the number of players, will no doubt be four times as big. Each Voting Coupon must contain the names of a male and female player, also a second choice of each. The players are to be judged from their artistic merits only — not from their popularity or good looks. You may vote for child players, old men players, comedians, character players, villains, lovers, or any other kind; and it is not necessary that they NOW play leading parts. The winners will get leading parts right enough if they Have not yet played leads. When you have decided who in your opinion are the CLEVEREST FILM PLAYERS IN ANY COUNTRY (excluding British-born Artistes) write their names in the Coupon below.
PRIZES.— The voter who sends in a Coupon containing trie names of the winners in their order according to the final counting of the votes will receive the first prize of £10. All other prizes will go to senders of Coupons in order of merit.
THE WINNING PLAYERS OF THE CONTEST
will be awarded the highest honours that can come to them the stamp of public approval. They will each receive a handsome certificate, but nothing more. Hence there will be no incentive to unusual personal interest by the players, or the film companies employing them. RULES AND CONDITIONS GOVERNING THE CONTEST.
