FILM TALENT RACE CLOSES CHRISTMAS As the Film Talent Contest of the United Theatre draws to a close, the interest on the part of both the public and the contestants increases.

Practically everyone is familiar with the conditions and purposes of the contest. Voting coupons are handed to purchasers of admission tickets to the United Theatre; the name of the favored candidate is written on the coupon or ballot and it is deposited in the ballot box. The fortunate young lady obtaining the largest number of votes will have the exceptional opportunity of actually taking part in a standard motion picture soon to be made and given world distribution. Certainly, the reward is well worth the effort. The contest closes at 11:00 p.m. Christmas night, Monday, Dec. 25th. No ballots will be accepted after that hour. The winner of the contest will be announced Sunday, Dec. 31st. It is expected that all contestants will accept the invitation of the management to be present when the name of the winner is announced. Universal's feature photoplay starring Herbert Rawlinson usually breathe the absolute spirit of "action." "Another Man's Shoes" at the United theater tonight and tomorrow is not only an action play but has the dramatic quality and fineness necessary in a successful novel.

A dual role, that of a man hunted by an assassin band, and a man of remarkable likeness who impersonates the first for adventure's sake, gives Rawlinson an opportunity for exceptional work. As cast was chosen that indicates the tendency of leading producers to offer the finest personnel possible in screen entertainment. Barbara Bedford is the leading woman, while Una Trevelyn of "The Devil's Pass Key" fame. Nick de Ruiz, Josef Swickard, Jean DeBriac, Harry Carter, Nelson McDowell, Lilliana Langdon and Jessie Dearnette have principal roles in support of the romantic characters.
