WIN the GARY COOPER COVER ! An intriguing, easy-to-do contest which is loads of fun of the Marland Stone's strikingly colorful pastel painting of Gary Cooper, who is starred in "The Westerner." RULES CONTESTANTS must see how many words of the English language they can make from the fortyeight letters contained in the announcement: Gary Cooper in "The Westerner," a Samuel Goldwyn Production and then use the words in a sentence to describe Gary Cooper. A contestant has exactly forty-eight letters to use, and may use a letter but once. The sentence must make sense. A contestant can submit as many entries as he wishes, but each entry must be accompanied by a coupon. The original cover of Gary Cooper and a personally autographed-to-you photograph of Gary Cooper will be awarded to the contestant submitting the best descriptive sentence of Gary Cooper of words made from the fortyeight letters in the announcement : Gary Cooper in "The Westerner/' a Samuel Goldwyn Production. The next twenty-five best entries will receive personally aiitographed-to-you photographs of Gary Cooper. The contest closes at midnight, April 30th, 1940. All entries become the property of Screenland, Inc. The contest is closed to employees and their families of Samuel Goldwyn Productions, United Artists Corporation and Screenland, hic.
