The New OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Wednesday Morning, April 10, 1929 PAGE FIVE 2 Girls Ready to Take Homors in "Miss Salem" Event Elsinore Stage to Be Scene for Style Sh ow Competition Eight Local Firms Sponsor Girls; Three Judges To Pick Winner to go Into Port land Elimination in May Although an even dozen local girls have already signified their intention of carrying off honors as "Miss Salem" in the Elsinore-Statesman contest Thursday and Friday nights, there is still opportunity for more girls to join the fun and perhaps win the coveted opportunity of going to Portland early in May and there winning state-wide honors and a free trip to the international beauty show at Galveston, Texas, next June. Thursday and Friday nights all the girls will be featured in a style and bathing suit revue at the Elsinore theatre. George Mitchley, a special representative from Galveston, is in the city making arrangements for the shows both nights and the girls will meet for a rehearsal Thursday noon. Add ed to the talent supplied locally will be Miss Morm Anderon, a clever dancing and singing comedian who will add to the spice of the program Three impartial judges chosen from leading business men in the city have already been agreed upon for the two nights' shows, the award being made Friday niht after the revue. The winning girl not only will bear the title of "Miss Salem" but she will re ceive a free trip to Portland May 1. 2 and 3 and will contest at the Portland theatre with the winners In other cities In Oregon. In addition to the special attrac tion of so many local girls In spring attire, the Elsinore will present a picture extraordinary, D. W. Griffith's "Battle of the Sexes." The program for the two eve nings bids fair to be one of the most Interesting and entertaining put on locally in months. Neither The Statesman nor the Elsinore, joint sponsors of the event, have any connection with the choice of the winning girls but both insti tutions are backing the event be cause it seems wise that this city be entered along with other com munities in the statewide beauty conteat. To date the following girls have entered: Miss Louise Lanke as Miss Ka foury's. Miss Helen Turner as Miss Coo ley's Clothes Shop. Miss Velete Arnesene as Miss Mack's. Miss Ruth Gillette as Miss H. L. Stiff Furniture Co. Miss Clarice Dow as Miss Bloch's Golden Rule store. Miss Ann Maruny as Miss Ful op's. Miss Yvonne Smith as Miss Miller's. Miss Leona Gardiner as Miss Worth's Department store. Other entrants include Miss Mary Carrier. Miss Juanita Powell, Miss Zelma Miller and Miss Phyl lis Ilauge. IIS STAGE BIB BURIAL CEREMONIES! KLAMATH FALLS. Ore..

Every girl in last year's pageant was offered a theatri cal engagement as a result of her appearance here and pa geant records show that 14 of them have made Broadway productions.
