First prize of $500 went to one Peter P. Ott of Manhattan for his soap torso done in a Greek manner. That the contest had left the realm of advertising and ventured into the realm of pure art seemed indicated by the jury of award which listed among others Sculptors Gutzon Borglum, Lorado Taft, Artist Charles Dana Gibson, Architect Harvey Wiley Corbett. Many of the competing sculptors were obviously serious in their work. The work of some was creditable.

Since his entry into the realm of light and "situation" comedy Mr. Dix is a much improved actor over the Dix of racing car melodramas. Tinged with a bit of Shavian deviltry the play depicts the plight of an electrician who for the sum of a few thousand dollars is willing to lower himself and become a gentleman. For some reason, and, she is fairly pleasant, he gets all mixed up in his singleness of purpose. The story ends happily, with Mr. Dix still an electrician. The picture is an amusing satire on the Ward McAllister type...
