If you were in London during the war

The picture would have been Mrs. Robin

the leading role in the revue would also
have been Mrs. Robinson's.
Well, perhaps you weren't In London at
that time, but there was one member of
the British air force who was-an Amer
lean who distinguished himself as an ace
with both the British and Italian forces.
And it was this ace who saw the revue,
and at the close of the war; brought her

that the alleged news item, stated above

BEAUTY WINNER
WITH "VANITIES"

To those who adore beauty and
worship at the shrine of beauty, it
will be of interest to note that
Dorothy Britton, who as Miss
Universe" won first prize at the in
ternational Galveston beauty con-
test, is now a member of Earl Car
roll Vanities which comes to Eng
liSh's for three days, starting Thurs
day, Feb. 20.
Picking a winner at beauty con-
test and especially at the Galveston
beauty pageant, which is of inter
national scope, is probably one Of
the most interesting and most syS-
tematically conducted affairs one
would wish to witness. To familiar
ize those who are unacquainted with
the methods of choosing the win
nerS at one of the most important
beauty shows, it will be interesting
TO know that once each year and in
each and every state of these United
States, local beauty contests are
held within the state and from the
most beautiful girls of each state,
one. two, three and sometimes as
high as half dozen of the states
most beautiful girlhood are selected
by expert beauty judges, and the
girls are sent to Galveston, in the
month of August to participate in
the beauty carnival, not only for
national honOrs, but with the lead
ing European beauties. The state
contests are generally sponsored by
the leading daily newspapers who
have no axes to grind in the matter
of participants, only to see that the
contest is conducted fairly and
honestly.
The beauty parade held in
Galveston comprised 125 of the
most charming and beautiful girls
from all over the world. Before
fifteen judges of national repute in
affairs pertaining to beauty, the 125
girls paraded, and particular note is
made of each girls beauty, grace,
charm and symmetrical lines.
rIOIH ILllS group Oh 10 girls, The
twenty-five most beautiful and at
tractive are selected. Then follows
another promenade of beauties be-
fore the judge and the beauty
numbered is reduced to fifteen.
The process of elimination is con-
/ tinued until the number of con-
testing beauties is reduced from
fifteen to five. Then they are named
in the order that the judges be-
lieve they rate. Dorothy Britton
was adjudgd the most beautiful of
the beautiful and was awarded the
crown of Miss Universe" I'M
mediately upon winning this title,
Miss Britton received an offer from
Earl Carroll, who is always eager
to sign a new beauty for his shows
which always contain the most
beautiful girls in the world.
