More Than Beauty Needed
For Success on Screen
Naomi Childers Won Pulchritude Contest But
She Brought Skill to Work

There is no royal road to success
in motion pictures even for winners
of local beauty contests.
Girls who think their futures are
made on either stage or screen
merely because they have plucked
the prize for pleasing pulchritude
in their own home towns are likely
to be doomed to a sad disappoint-
ment when they start out to attain
the desired object, according Il
Naomi Childers, beautiful and tai

And Miss Childers should know
for she has not only attained sue
cess on both stage and screen, but
also won a beauty contest in her
town while still in her early teens
and going to a convent. At the
time she had the same notions about
early success that many other young
girls entertain.
