We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Somewhere in this issue of SCREENLAND are the pictures of the stars which conform in size and shape to the silhouettes printed on these two pages. There are four star shadows — can you find their originals? Some page in this issue bears the picture of the star which exactly fits each shadow. These heads when cut out or traced or copied will match up perfectly with the black flat silhouettes you see here. Can you spot them? Can you carry in your mind's eye the proportions of the shadow and, as you look through the magazine, mentally test each photograph-head for shape and size? It will be a fascinating game, and to the successful contestant the prize money will be a fitting reward for the skill and care expended. After you are convinced that you have found the head that fits the shadow, cut out or trace or copy the head carefully and paste it upon the silhouette. Then remove or trace or copy the puzzle picture — that is, the original shadow with its correct photograph or copy pasted upon it. If you have found the correct picture in the magazine, you will find that the head just matches the shadow, so that when the head is pasted upon the shadow, none of the black will show. Of course youmust match the amount of bust to be left with the head, but that is a part of the puzzling details! And of course you will follow the same procedure with each of the four pictures and shadows in this issue. How To Enter The Here are their shadows — can you find the photographs to fit them? Each picture of each star is on some page in this issue of SCREENLAND. When you find a star whose picture would just fit this or that shadow, cut out or trace the head and as much of the body as needed to cover all the black. Place the picture over the black and write or typewrite the name of the star beneath the pasted picture — you will see the dotted line and space left for you to fill in. The best way to do is to decide first whether the shadow is that of a man or a woman; then, fixing in your mind's eye the size of the head, look through this issue of the Magazine. You will be surprised how hard it is, but for those who accomplish it, the prize will well repay them. When preparing your solution for submission use all your skill and care, for it is your neatness and accuracy that will count. There is no ruling as to the method of mounting the sixteen pictures when they are finished, nor is the matter of assembling the sixteen a matter of rule. Just use your taste and good sense and the judges will use theirs — and may the best boys and girls win! <~*lLs <-^> <-^L, <-^L, <-^L. <-%IL, <~Ssl>
