Daysey Mayme followed the butcher to

Belmont Avenue Has Sent Gre attest Number of Entrants, but
Names May Be Sent in as Late as March 10.

With more than fifty contestants
busily preparing their stories for The
Stars grand prize play-writing con-
test, the competition among these
pupils is becoming intensely interesting
and keen. There is not alone an in
diyidual pride which enters into the
contest, but also a class and school
pride. 1t is not alone the question
now as to who will win the $3.50 prize,
but to what school will the honor be-
long.
So far as number is concerned the
Belmont Avenue School has a decided
advantage as there are several more
contestants attending that school than
any other.
But the unselfsh spirit has pre-
vailed and many of the communications
received bear evidence that the con-
testants hope to bring not only to
themselves, but to the school to which
hey belong, the n of being h
winning author in this important con-
lest.
Several queries have been received
from pupils who have not sent in their
entry blanks. Again we urge all who
intend TO be recognized as entrants to
have their names on our list.

frequently been used as a basis for
some spectacular production. But in
each instance the work Is original in
it's production II not in It's conception.
Whatever may be the foundation of
your story. tho play itself must be
original.
In answer to your second question
1t is necessary to state that It will be
quite contrary to the rules for W
persons to collaborate In the writing
of a play for this contest.
It is not fully understood what you
mean by your third question. If your
play is original 1t will have no pre-
history" If you mean "pre-history,"
the story as told in the myth. or the
foundation of you story to which
we have already referred, 1t would be
well enough to give such data as will
help the audience to understand the
meaning of the playlet as you lave
written 1t. In other words, If your
play depends upon the ancient myth
for a proper and complete appreciation
of it when presented to an audience 1t
would be well and advisable to ada a
note to your program, which will de-
scribe concisely the myth pom which
the story is founded.-P. c. Editor
