CHARLOTTE NOTHING
WINS BEAUTY CONTEST

Little Miss Charlotte Noting, born
In Perth Amboy four years ago, has
been selected as the child winner In
the Motion Picture Beauty Contest
of the Cleveland News. Charlotte Is
the daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Noting. who four years ago were
living in Hall avenue, here. This
leading baby is one of those rare
children. who are beautiful, appeal
ing and winsome, and yet very alert
and intelligent. She Is the strictly
blue eyed and yellow curled type,
and she Is just bubbling over with
happiness.
According to Mr.. Darcy, author of
Women Men Love-" in which
Charlotte will appear, "she has ex-
treme lovableness. which is the main
requisite of a screen child" He says.
II count it extremely fortunate for
the picture this little girl was entered
in the contest"
When told by her mother she had
won in the contest, she clapped her
hands. and registered Joy, just as
Director Bradley had taught her In
her trial screening.
Mrs. Noting says h Is delighted
at the opportunity given her child,
but she will never allow 1t to spoil
her normal childhood. Friends of
the Noltings will not be surprised
this very sane attitude of Char
mother, when they remember
her care of her wonderful baby,
when the family lived here.
Charlotte had to compete against
thousands Of children from Cleve-
land and surrounding towns. and it Is
quite an honor for a former Perth
Amboy child to take first place. Her
says, There is always a soft
spot in my heart for dear old Perth
Amboy," which we are sure is re-
by Perth Amboy's feeling
of affection for its little daughter,
Charlotte Noting.
