Ada Sweet Photoplay Contest Contestant - 1916

After Film Honors
Charming Norwich Young Lady a Candidate in Photoplay Contest
Utica Saturday Globe, January 1916

 
Ada Sweet
 
Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  Norwich admirers are keenly interest in the admission of Miss Ada Sweet, the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.E. Sweet, to the "Beauty and Brains" contest being conducted by a photo-play magazine in conjunction with a motion film corporation.  It is proposed to send 11 young women to the studios at Fort Lee, N.J., just across the river from new York, where they will be given a thorough tryout as film actresses.
 
Some time ago  Miss Sweet mailed photographs and a letter descriptive of her talents and has just been notified of her acceptance as a candidate.  All the expenses of the trip to Fort Lee and during the continuance of the contest will be provided and the young women evidencing sufficient talent will be given contracts for not less than one year's time at the salaries paid to accredited actresses.  Among the judges in the contest will be Lillian Russell and William A. Brady.
 
Norwich friends are  hoping that their favorite will be among the number to make good and secure a contract enabling her to further pursue a course in which she has already displayed unusual cleverness.
