Miss Edna Young — charming, chic, vivacious “Little Edna”—is one of the most admired and popu lar littie women that ever an swered a curtain call. Her friends are legion and her popularity knows no boundary. She is one of the bright spots in Billy Mitch ell’s Review in Atlantic City, and her sweet personality is daily win ning her thousands of new friends of all ages. Miss Young says, “I am going to do my best to win one of the prizes. Friends are working very nicely for me, and express a de sire to have me win." Miss Josephine Leggett, popular as the "Creole Madcap” of “Shuf fle Along" days, said this week while appearing at the Koppin Theatre, Detroit, Mich., in regard to the Golden Brown Beauty Con test. “I am spreading the happy news everywhere of what Golden Brown has done for me. I nearly cried with joy when I was in formed of being entered in the Contest. Should I be lucky enough to win I do not know how I will ever thank Madame Hightower and my dear sister. Every girl in the show is pulling for me.” Miss Leggett has finished a week at the Washington Theatre, at In dianapolis, and is in the midst of a long swing of the summer cir cuit. Miss Josephine (Bobby) Holmes, famed for face and figure, has long been a friend of Madame Hightower. Her perfect velvety skin and soft satiny complexion are the delight of thousands of theatre-goers of the nation. Miss Mary Goodman is a vi vacious Gotham actress with a saucy smile and winnings ways. Miss Lina Gray’s intelligence and charm make her truly a rep resentative product of the culti vated, educated girls of our Race attending the institutions of higher learning and understanding. She is the perfect college girl. Miss Hattie Brown, she of the. charming curls and school girl loveliness, is one of the youngest and yet one of the popular of all foot-light favorites. Like Miss Brown, Miss Ivie An derson became famous over night and her notable work in that never to be forgotten Sissle and Blake production “Shuffle Along,” which has run for eight months in Chi cago after two years in New York, is well known. These are 1>ut a few of the fa mous professional women entered in the great National Golden Brown Beauty Contest, in which our Benefactress is seeking the winsome women of our Race in America. Among the magnficent prizes to be given to the demurest damsels receiving the greatest number of votes are: Hudson Super-Six Coach, five free trips to Atlantic City, with all expenses paid; Five $100.00 Trousseaux; Forty-Eight Diamond Rings. The reception committee at At lantic City will include a number of Race notables, among whom are: Mr. Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of Urban League of this City; Edouard Scott, the Rembrandt of Race Art ists, of Chicago; Robert L. Vann, noted Pittsburgh publisher; Wilson Lovett, famous financier and civic leader of Louisville, and Miss Hallie Q. Brown, devoted teacher and scholar of Wilberforce Col lege, of Ohio. In ap interview today wth an I. R. N. S. correspondent, Madame Hightower said, “As the Dramatic Contest draws gradually to its grand climax, interest waxes hot, and fair favorites here, there and everywhere are supported by en thusiastic friends. I want every girl of our Race entered in the Contest to know that 60 to 100 free votes are still packed with everyone of the Golden Brown Beauty Preparations. This is one Contest where the rich and poor, high and low, all have an equal chance. It is the supreme, the crowning point of my career and I am overjoyed beyond words at the cordial co-operation and loyal assistance the Race press has given me in my great work.” No votes may be cast after mid night, Sept. 15, 1925, according to the terms of the Contest, which is being held by the Golden Brown Chemical Company of Memphis, Tenn.
