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.

Here they are — the fourth and final set of shadows and stars in SCREENLAND'S Star Shadow Contest. Match them up — and then send them in together with your solutions of the three other sets. Hitch the shadows to the stars! But be sure that you have the complete set of sixteen Star Shadows — four each from our July, August, September and October issues. Entries will be eligible to be judged for prizes only if the complete set of sixteen Star Shadows is received at once. In case you missed any of the earlier ones, back copies of the July, August and September issues are available. This fascinating game really isn't difficult — and the generous prizes make it well worthwhile! Just take a good look at the shadows of famous screen stars which you see reproduced on these pages. Then turn slowly through this issue of ScREENl.AND, and if you are careful and observant you will find, somewhere in its pages, photographs of these stars that fit the shadows exactly, both in size and in shape. Take them up one at a time, and when you have spotted one, then go on to the next. Then, after you have located them all, fit them to their corresponding shadows; then write the name of each star in the space below. Remember — neatness and taste will count just as much as accuracy in the judging of entries. You may fill in the names of the stars either on the typewriter or in ink — you may use your own judgment as to the best way in which to mount and arrange them — but make your completed entries look just as neat and attractive as you know how. It isn't only an investment of leisure time with possibilities of handsome returns — it's a delightful game as well! What more pleasant way to spend an evening than by testing your skill and accuracy in a pastime involving your favorite screen stars? Make it a family event — get pa and ma and the rest of the folks to sit in and help you. And don't get discouraged if you fail to match up the Star Shadows at the first attempt — because you just know they're right there in the 2,500.00 . . $1000.00 Second Prize . . . . 500.00 Third Prize , , , . . 200.00 Fourth Prize . . . . 100.00 Fifth Prize . . . . 75.00 and Ten Prizes of $50.00 each Five Prizes of 25.00 each magazine, and if you try hard enough, and are mentally on your toes, you can't help but find them! Here's a tip — in comparing Stars and Shadows, notice such details as the shape of an ear, the arrangement of the hair, the position of the head and shoulders, and so on. It's things like those that tell you whether the picture you've decided on is the right one, or one that's just a little bit different. It will help you, too, to decide first whether each shadow is that of a man or of a woman — then the problem of matching it up will be that much simpler for you. And don't forget that, in matching the pictures with their shadows, it is necessary to match the amount of bust to go with the head as well. The picture must be pasted over the shadow so that none of the black will show. Get the idea?
