Three Weeks Left!

AUCKLAND GIRLS, DECIDE! Last Weeks of “Miss New Zealand 1927” Contest TRIP TO HOLLYWOOD YOUTH is the time of dreaming and doing, too. For those who deserve it, fame and achievement sometimes smile kindly before youth has vanished and the fortunate ones are able to bask in the glow of success when they can most enjoy it. Opportunity comes now with the “Miss New Zealand 1927” Competition. Auckland girls have only three weeks now in which to make up their minds—three weeks in which to consider a trip to Hollywood and back.

Tlie winner of the “Miss New Zealand 1927" competition, when she reaches Hollywood will be offered a definite engagement to appear in a feature film at a salary four times greater than Norma Talmadge received for her first contract, with Vitagraph Studios! Norma was then earning £5, playing small parts. “Miss New Zealand’s” salary will be £25 per week during the currency of this engagement. “Miss New Zealand 1927” will be given a bigger opportunity than many a leading screen actress ever had. On arrival in Hollywood she will be given expert tuition in the technique of the art of acting for the camera by the famous Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios at Culver City. Under such favourable auspices the aspirant for screen fame cannot fail to make good, and having been chosen as New Zealand’s most beautiful and representative girl her countrymen and countrywomen can count upon her determination to do credit to the Dominion.
