Interesting response already
Is in evidence to The .Herald's
announcement of the 81 Love
You" contest given in conjunc-
tion with the Garrick Players
who open their season next
Monday night in a play called
II Love YOU.
Quite a bit Of discussion has
arisen as to what 81 Love You"
experience has been most
unique and there seems to be
difference of opinion regarding
the perfect proposal.
Miss Anne Morrison, leading
woman with the Garrickers,
says, IT'S too dangerous a sub
ject to speculate with. The
type of proposal that might
thrill me to death might bore
the lady next door. And / am
not yet ready to go on record
as having heard the ideal pro-
posal, for you see am not mar
ried and perhaps sometime
will hear another proposal that
listens very good to me. That's
the one that will be ideal"
Wonder If Miss Morrison is
right? At any rate it Is a great
subject and no one can doubt
its universal appeal. There are
many brands of proposals in II
Love You" at the Garrick next
week with all the accompani-
ments of music, flowers and
moonlight. Perhaps there will
be inspiration there for the
prize Il Love You" letter.
Send in yours. You must
know Of some romantic Il Love
5 You" experience, even though 1t
is not your own. For the most
interesting and unique letters

Players are giving prizes of
