Deanna Durbin Prize Contest To all the young in heart who adore Deanna, we present this gay new contest! w 9 ■ DEANNA, and her producing company, Universal Pictures, want ScREENLAND readers to answer this question: "Do you want to see Deanna Durbin fall in love on screen, play romantic roles from now on? Or do you prefer little or no 'love interest' for Deanna in her future pictures?" As all Durbin fans know, "That Certain Age" was the first in the remarkable series of Deanna Durbin film hits to show her in romantic mood — her schoolgirl "crush" on Melvyn Douglas and the devotion of schoolboy Jackie Cooper were signs that the great little singing star was indeed growing up a little. In "Three Smart Girls Grow Up," her current picture, sequel to the sensationally successful "Three Smart Girls," first Durbin hit, Deanna does not fall in love — but she is charmingly surrounded by romance, and sooner or later it may catch up with her! She really wants to know what YOU think. So write a letter, not more than 300 words, answering above question and giving reason for your answer. It's easy and simple, and the prizes are well worth trying for. Please see opposite page for contest conditions and coupon to fill out and mail with your entry. Many fine Prizes! Don't miss this opportunity to win one 20 Deanna, America's favorite girl friend, has no special boy friend, on or off the screen — but she is growing up, and our contest is based on that fact.
