MOVIE MAGIC
(First Prize Letter)
I am a beautiful, desirable and cultured young woman. Gorgeous clothes adorn my slim, seductive body. My hair is smartly done, my hands are long and tapering with exquisitely tended nails and my voice is low and sweet. For two evenings a week and thirty-five cents I am what most every young girl dreams of being — a charming person.
This is a letter of gratitude, a letter of thanks to the persons who make it possible for me to receive such value for my money.
In reality I am a rather ordinary young wife and mother. But twice a week I forget all about trying to make a very small allowance cover very large demands and grasp thirty-five cents in my hands and hie me to our community theatre where I become a charming heroine of a charming world.
Robin Adair, 3800 14th St., N. W., Washington, D. C.

MOVIES— A TONIC (Third Prize Letter)
Nobody can deny that the movies are: —
A comfort to the distressed.
A cordial to the heart-sick and home-sick.
An example to the foolish.
And sometimes a restraint to the wicked.
Nothing but the movies can so conduce cheerfulness, and everyone knows what a tonic is good cheer. Movies leave us comforted and gay. They are friends when we are alone. They make us feel keenly the magic and mystery of beautiful things. Bringing us in contact with all the wonders that our unlimited imagination craves, and our limited resources too often deny us. Helping us to acquire knowledge and self-development which comes only by contact with the finer things of life. Giving us the courage of our dreams, and the faith to look for the happiness that lies just around the corner.
Mrs. W. W. Geraughtv.
