QUESTION OF CHAPERGNAGE SISTER MAY GO TOO! | _ I Accompanying “Miss N.Z. 1927” to Hollywood NO arirl would refuse a trip to Hollywood. Yet there are difficulties in the way. For instance, there is the problem of ehaperonage. THE SUN’S “Miss New Zealand 1827” competition makes provision, however, for this little difficulty. In reality it does not exist.

Auckland girls who have abstained from entering; on this account should realise that they can be accompanied, if successful, by their own mother or sister. Not only one fortunate member of a family may go to Hollywood, but two. Surely, never in the history of New Zealand has a more generous erffer been made.

It has also to be remembered that “Miss Auckland” will receive a prize of £3O. Her Maid-of-Honour will receive £2O, and each of the 20 semi-finalists in the Auckland section of the contest will be presented with consolation prizes. A SCREEN TYPE Entrants must be over the age of 16 years, and where they are under the age of 21, the consent of a parent or guardian in writing must accompany the entrance form. “Miss New Zealand 1927” will be more than a beauty. She will be a screen type. She will go to Culver City, California, as New Zealand’s ambassador. She may, if the dates permit, represent the Dominion at the famous Beauty Pageant at Atlantic City this year. Every country centre will have an opportunity to supply a semi-finalist in the Auckland section of the contest. Entrants must never have been married. Throughout New Zealand there are thousands of girls of the best type, who can hold their own in the world of sport—swimming, riding, tennis and a host of other pastimes. Skill in sport infers training, mental, and physical, the ability to “play the game” in true British fashion, moulding thus the character and personaiitv, all of which adds to the beauty of girlhood. “Miss New Zealand 1927” will receive a definite screen engagement. She will take part in a feature film pi eduction, and while thus engaged will receive a salary of £25 a week. ENTRY FORMS AVAILABLE Entry forms are available at THE SUN Office on application. The duration of the “Miss New Zealand 1927” competition is limited to a few weeks. There is every indication that the competition will be one o! the moat eagerly contested. THE SUN has already received numbers of photographs. We want them in as quickly as possible. Everyone should enter into the spirit of this great adventure. Photographs of approved candidates will be taken free of charge by the Bell Studio. Karangahape Road. Additional photos of contestants appear in this issue.
