COMBINATION In Vea m! THE LIPS HAVE “IT” A S Sadie Thompson in "RAIN," Joan Crawford gives a vivid portrayal of this woman of easy virtue. When you see this picture you will notice that during the torrent of emo¬ tions her lips practically express her thoughts. In one instance they are scornful lips, in another, pleading lips, passionate lips, sarcastic lips, sad lips, stubborn lips, jealous lips. Here is the basis of an unusual newspaper contest whereby the public is invited to write in and give their opinion as to the type of lips appearing with the current installment of the contest. In other words, each day the newspaper will publish a different pair of lips tending to convey qne type of emotion or another. This will arouse quite a bit of curiosity and in all news¬ paper clippings be sure that they mention Joan Crawford in "RAIN." CAN YOU TELL TO WHAT FAMOUS PEOPLE THESE LIPS BELONG? As a version of this contest you could daily publish close-ups of the lips of famous people, such as Lindbergh, Al Jolson, with his mouth wide open singing "Mammy"; Edison's lips, sealed forever after a life of science; and the lips of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover, etc. In other words, use the lips of people now in the public spotlight or famous personages of the past. You could probably give a slight hint as to whose lips they are. As, for example, in publishing Mussolini's lips, you could state as follows: "He is not an American. His fiery oratory is often heard by thousands assembled in the open air." Shown below are various line drawings of lips which you can use for reproduction purposes in the newspaper in connection with this contest.
