For th first tuae in mor thu a decade Galveston will sot have its lateraatieaal Pageant of Puickritnda tKU
year. The eolorfml event that brought the creaas of the world's f enaiaiao loveliaeM to the Texas city has beea
abandoned for reason- three in number. The depression, a la to be expected, take it snare of the blame,
the pageant having ended in an ocean of red ink for several years. Then there ia the hostility of Bishop C
E. Byrne, who has long waged a tooth-and-nail fight against the leg show on the sea wall." Lastly U the
charges of Colonel W. E. Easterwood, chewing gum magnate, that the home girla of Texas were not getting
a square deal in the contest and that aome of the visiting entrants bad enough synthetic complexion to paint
the Washington Monument. The colonel's protest came last year when Anne Lee Patterson of Kentucky was
chosen over the Texan beauty, Miss Eugenia Tullis, of Dallas, for the title of "Miss United States. However,
in refutation of the colonel's charges it is pointed out that Catherine Moylan, another Dallas beauty, won the
title of MMiss Universe" ia 1926. .Last year the worjd's beauty crown went to Belgium on the bead of Mile.
Netta Duchateau, but there was a difference of opinion as to the justice of the decision. However, a glance at
the records shows that American girls have done well at Galvestoa. Dorothy Goff, of New Orleans, was a
"Miss Universe" title holder, as was also Miss Dot Britton, of New Jersey, and Irene Ahlbergb, of New York,
won the "Miss United States" title in 1929. Galveston will put on a "local" show this year, reverting to the
original idea of the pageant, only girls from the surrounding States being eligible.
