Screenland (May-Oct 1931)

IN PRIZES SCREENLANDS e^TAR Shadow Contest When hunting the stars to fit the shadows, don't confine yourself to pictures that stand out on the pages by themselves, without backgrounds. The picture you are looking for may have a background — it may even be part of a group. But one thing is certain: It is in here somewhere, and it matches the shadow perfectly, both in size and in shape. Read the rules carefully before you begin — they'll help you. Take your time, both in finding the stars and in preparing your entries after you've found them. Patience, thought and care may reward you richly. And even if your efforts do not bring you a prize, there's a lot of fun in it, and a personal satisfaction to be found in few puzzle games. All set now? Go to it — hitch the shadows to the stars! The Rules of the ScREENLAND Star Shadow Contest: 1. Twenty cash prizes will be paid by SCREENLAND Magazine as follows: First Prize $1,000.00 Second Prize 500.00 Third Prize 200.00 Fourth Prize 100.00 Fifth Prize 75.00 Ten prizes of $50.00 each 500.00 Five prizes of $25.00 each 125.00 2. In four issues — July, August, September and October numbers — SCREENLAND is publishing cut puzzle pictures of well-known motion picture actors and actresses.

In the same issue of the magazine with this shadow will be a photograph of some actor or actress which will exactly fit the silhouette or shadow. When the photographs are properly located, and pasted upon the shadows, and the names added, there will be sixteen separate portraits. $2,500.00 in prizes as specified in Rule No. 1, will be paid to the persons sending in the nearest correctly named and most neatly arranged sets of s'xteen portraits. 3. Do not submit any solutions or answers until after the fourth set of cut puzzle pictures have appeared in the October issue. Assembled pictures on the shadows must be submitted in sets of sixteen only. Identifying names should be written or typewritten below each complete portrait. At the conclusion of the contest all solutions should be sent to The Star Shadow Contest Editors, SCREENLAND Magazine, 45 West 45th Street, New York City. Be sure your full name and complete address is written on, or attached to your entry; that your entry is securely packed to guard against damage in transit; and that it carries sufficient postage to avoid delay. 4. Bear in mind that it costs absolutely nothing to enter this contest. Indeed, the contest is purely an amusement. You do not need to be a subscriber or reader of SCREENLAND Magazine to compete. You do not have to buy a single issue. You may copy or trace the pictures from the originals in SCREENLAND Magazine, and assemble the copied portrait with the copy of the shadow. Copies of SCREENLAND Magazine may be examined at the New York offices of the Magazine or at public libraries, free of charge. 5. Aside from accuracy in assembling and identifying the cut puzzle pictures, neatness in contestants' methods of submitting solutions will be considered in awarding prizes. The sixteen cut puzzle pictures, or their drawn duplicates, must be assembled and pasted or pinned together, with the name of the player written or typewritten below. 6.
