Each entry must be accompanied by a photograph of the contestant, and the theatre shall have the right to publish such photographs in newspapers and other publications at its discretion. No em- ployee of any theatre or film com- pany is eligible for entry in this contest. Here is an exceptional opportunity for some ambitious young Canadian. The Young lady chosen will be sent to Hollywood as "MISS ONTARIO" and every facility will be extended to her so that she may have a chance to reach stardom in the movies. The expenses of the winner and her chap- erone (chosen by herself) will be paid to Hollywood and return. While in Hollywood she will be entertained. Winners of each preliminary con- test will be determined by a com- mittee of three judges, who will be guided by the applause of the audi- ence in the theatre in which they appear. A - The contest will be limited to girls over sixteen years of age and bona fide residents of the Province of (he tgit for three months prior to June 18t . The winners of the preliminary con- tests held during the week of June 18th throughout the Province will appear at the Uptown Theatre, To- ronto, during the week commencing July 9th, there to compete in the final contest. Contestants will be judged for beauty of face and figure, poise, per- sonality, carriage and general ap- pearance, consistent with the char- acteristics of a motion picture stat. _ Commencing Saturday, June 18th, Famous Players Canadian Corpora- tion will conduct a "SCREEN PER- SONALITY CONTEST” throughout the Province of Ontario (the Province that has already given so much of grace, beauty and personality to the stage and screen), the selection of the winner taking place during the week of July 9th, at the Uptown Theatre, Toronto. How often have you heard it said: "Isn't Helen beautiful! She ought to go in the movies!" But again, the inevitable "how"? Here's "how"! Thanks to a gen- erous fairy godmother! The' contest will run for one week in all the houses in Ontario under Famous Players'_siuervisiqn., _ _ l Canada has generously contributed to the melting-pot of motion picture genius. The list of outstanding per- sonalities in the picture world to-day Who _were born in Canada is truly startling. The Piekfords-Mary, Lot- tie and Jack-were born in Canada, as were Beatrice Lillie, Marie Dress- Jer, Willard Mack, Margaret Banner- man. Joseph and Sam DeGrasse, Reg- inald Barker, Norma Shearer, W. Scott Darling, Edward Earle, Earl Rodney, Pauline Garon, Wallace Mac... Donald, Joseph Kilgour, Rockcliffe Fellows and Huntley Gordon. Mack Sehnett and the famous comic Chris- tie'biothers were also born in Can- ada. Madame Elinor Glyn, a vivid personality and an authority in Hol- lywood, is also a Canadian. Perhaps the latest discovery was lovely Norma Shearer. Miss Shearer was a society girl who was ambitious for a career. She entered a beauty contest in Montreal and was chosen from among_thousands of applicants. Who will be the next Canadian screen find? Perhaps you who are reading this;,or perhaps your sister or your daughter or your youthful mother! l And so, conscious of this fact, iaware of their ability to start some 1ambitious young girl on the road to fame and fortune, and believing that there is such a girl-a girl of exeep- tional beauty and charm, who, be- cause of lack of means and oppbrtun- ity, has never had a chance of prov- ing her camera qualifications-the Directors of Famous Players announce their earnest desire to play fairy god- mother to all the screen aspirants liv- ing in Ontario, anfon Saturday, June 18th, they will wave a magic wand over the entire province in an effort to discover a new screen personality --a young lady who will be given the, opportunity of taking her place with) Ontario's amazing representation in) the world of motion pictures. l And why not? Were not Beatrice Lillie and Norma Shearer born in Canada? Were not Pauline Garon, Allan Dwan, Bert Lytell and, dozens of others once just part of our Carr. adian background? Oh, for success! But how? Hollywood is remotely dis- tant, and one must have money to travel, money to live while seeking an audition. Too, one must be fairly sure of success before one attempts such a journey and a venture. As in every country in the' World, Canada has its generous share of mo- tion picture theatres where the latest productions are shown. And it does not require a very great stretch of the imagination to picture thousands of beautiful and brilliant young girls who attend these theatres weekly, who are not only enthralled by each new production, but who are also given to dreaming-dreaming of some day be- coming picture stars themselves. As surely as there is a Mary Pick- ford, just as surely are there dozens of girls living in Ontario to-day who :could very successfully cast their lot ‘With motion pictures-if given the op- portunity. This is the belief of the Directors of Famous Players Cana- dian Corporation. Nor do they think they are to visionary and enthusiastic in making this assertion. Someone has said that there are no mute, in- glorious Miltons. Everyone who has the qualifications for success, sue- ceeds. Of a surety! But one must first of all be inspired-then must come the opportunity.
