BEAUTIES GOT
CHANCE TO
WIN FAME

"Beauty Contests" are nothing
new, especially in the motion
picture business but a different
variation of this plan was being
conducted by the production de-
partment of Gotham Productions
in CONJUNCTION with their picture
entitled, appropriately enough,
Bare Knees" which is on the
screen this week at the Earle
Theater.
Unlike the usual contest" con-
Quoted through some. publication
and ostensibly seeking for hitherto
undiscovered amateur talent, the
Gotham method was to confine
the contestants strictly to regis
tered and recognized ensemble and
atmosphere girls Of Hollywood s
film colony.
The purpose of this method of
selection was not to secure one,
but no less than fifteen of the
prettiest girls in Hollywood-and
anyone familiar with the avail
able material in this line in Holly
wood knows that this covers the
field pretty thoroughly.
The selection was conducted
by the Gotham Production staff
with Director Earle C. Kenton as
the final judge.
