paps NR SR WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1925 17 THEATER STARTS BEAUTY CONTEST Most Beautiful Bob-Haired Girl in Winnetka Sought by Village Theatre CHANCE FOR MOVIES Hold Local Test to Find "Miss Illinois" Does the prettiest bobbed-haired girl in Illinois live in Winnetka--and if not, why not? That is the question which is going to be answered once and for all in the Winnetka Beauty contest, which will be conducted in connection with the "Miss Illinois" contest, by the Wilmette Village theatre, with the assistance of WINNETKA TALK. The contest will open Saturday afternoon, May 2, at the Village theatre, and is open to any Winnetka woman 16 years old or more who has bobbed hair. The winner of the Winnetka contest will be sent to Chicago, where she will compete in the "Miss Illinois" contest conducted by Paddy Harmon at the Arcadia ballroom. The finals in this contest will be held Friday eve- ning, June 26, according to present plans. Winners of local contests all over the state will compete, and the final winner will be acclaimed "Miss Illinois," and will receive as prizes a diamond ring, donated by Loftis Brothers, of Chicago, valued at $1,000 a cash gift of $500, from the Bobit company, makers of Bobit shampoo, and a positive and assured contract with the Universal Film company, of Universal City, Cal., the gift of Carl Laemmle, president of the film com- pany, with transportation to Holly- wood and return and all expenses, the gift of Paddy Harmon. Chance For Movie Career Besides all these prizes, she will receive presents from the Bobit com- pany and numerous women's stores and other business places in Chicago. But the grand prize, that stands out before the eyes of most of those girls who have entered the contests in other towns, is that contract with the Uni- versal company. Many a movie star began her career in a similar fashion. For instance, there is Gertrude Olm- sted. She was the winner of the Elk's National beauty contest. She got a tryout in Hollywood as one of her prizes, and she is still there, and will be for a long time if the hosts of her admirers have anything to say about oH Then there is Mary Philbin. Her entry into the movies was by way of the beauty contest route. Her rise was meteoric, and she is now considered one of the shining stars of the screen, which has so many who are note- worthy. There is Flora Mae Hackett, winner of the Chicago Tribune's $10,000 beauty contest several years ago. She isn't in the movies--it is understood that she has married, but she was showered with a small fortune in prizes and con- tracts for personal appearances as the winner of that contest. This one will be a much bigger thing than has ever been attempted before, and will set the winner on the road to a sure and quick fame, providing only that she has some degree of native ability. Must Apply at Theater The local contest is in charge of J. B. Koppel, manager of the Vil- lage theatre of Wilmette. Registration blanks for the contest will be obtain- able at the theatre Saturday afternoon, and thereafter. There are absolutely no strings attached to this offer, and it will not cost entrants a penny. Those wishing to enter the contest may do so in either of two ways. They may get a registration blank from the theater and mail it, together with a photograph; to J. B. Koppel, manager of the Village. theatre, or they may obtain a blank and appear in person before a committee of judges, who will be named later. Detailed plans have not yet been made public, but it is expected that the committee of judges, who will be residents of Wilmette who are qualified to act in that capacity, will sit at the theater one night a week, or as often as is required, so that those who wish to make a per- sonal appearance may do so. The judging will be on a percentage basis. If an entrant has no photograph of herself, she will be given a card for a free photograph at the Melvin Sykes special studio at the Arcadia ball- who will be residens of Winnetka who "1S ZAT SO?"

Operation of the American Red Cross, supervising re- lief agency in all major disasters, is explained in the accompanying state- ment issued this week at the Chicago headquarters of the organization. "The American Red Cross is char- tered by Congress to do relief work in peace and in war, at home and abroad. "It is the official relief agency, but not the sole agency. In major dis- asters the U. S. Army, national guards, reserves, American Legion, Y. M. C. A's, 'Y.W. 'C. As, Salvition Army, Volunteers of America, Knights of Columbus, church societies, social and hospital workers, and private citizens, cooperate. "No two disasters are alike, but Henry M. Baker, national director of the relief department of the American Red Cross, with experience in 66 dis- asters, says that in the emergency work, the four primary needs are: medical aid, food, shelter and clothing.
