Contest Goes Over Big
The judges worked for hours the
better part of three nights to
double and triple check all entries
in the most successful Identification
contest that The Times and the
Circle theater ever have conducted.
Many contestants went to elabor-
ate lengths to mount and even bind
the pictures of the stars. The first
winner submitted a beautiful piece
of art work and the essay, in the
opinion of the judges. was excellent.
Mrs. j. Nickum, 1881 West Ray
street, apparently worked for hours
in mounting the pictures of the stars
on a gorgeous homemade fan, but
failed correctly to identify all the
stars.
Lewis c. Duncan, los North Lin
wood avenue, also worked out the
fan idea, but one Identification was
wrong.
The same applies to Julia Kleis,
r. R. l. Box 1913, Bridgeport, Ind,
who mounted the pictures in
leather book ocver. One was wrong.
Martini Is Stumbling Block
Hundreds went wrong in Identify
ing the picture of Nino Martini,
the stumbling block for near every
one who failed. Stanley Smith was
another picture that spelled ruin
for many.
