ta) 1ye IN MOVIE CONTEST Passes Constance Binney - When She Gets 10,000 Votes } ‘—Marion Davies Second. Mot until the grand ball, carnival , and show in the Astor ballroom Is un- der way will the winner of the contest for Queen of the Movies be known. Friends of the picture stars who are tm the lead have an aggravating way of collecting several thousand votes in a lot and handing them in when it seems some one has the contest about Won. Admirers of Billy Burke came for- ward after Constance Binney had passed her yesterday and quietly threw in 10,000 votes, which put Miss Burke tn the lead. While Miss Bin- ney’s friends were hustling for her, Marion Davies sneaked through on the rail, as the sporting writers have it, and took second place from her by a small margin. In the meanwhile, Madge Kennedy's supporters, who in- © BILLIE BURKE GOES |Dad’s $100 Lasts Eddie Donovan INTO FIRST page| ‘ve “®! g” Days at Coney Island Had Camped Out Week in Jersey Before “Hot Dogs’’ and “Horses’’ Lured Him. Eddie Donovan, thirteen, son of James J. Donovan, Deputy Collector of the State Income Tax Bureau, is at home to-day after a more or less thrilling Coney Island sojourn. He had been missing since April 28. His brother Jim had a hunch last night that the boy was “riding the horses’ at the Feltman merry-go- round and went to Coney Island to see. Jim had painful memories of the time that Edward kicked him on the shins in an argument, so he went first to the Coney Island Police Sta- tion and had a big pollceman go with him, Jim and Patrolman James Ladley went to Surf Avenue and wandered around a bit, and pretty soon they came on Edward curled up on a bench, sound asleep and, although it is a terrible thing to say of so young a lad, snoring like a trooper. The na- trolman picked the boy up and carried him to the police station, Jim trailing along behind and reminding his young brother of the various things—pleas- ant and otherwise—that were In store for him when he reached home. At the station Edward was searched and found to have a prayer book and 20 cents. He had told the policeman he was broke and was very much sur- prised to see so much wealth. “Shucks!"" he sald. “If I'd knew I had that I'd a had me a hot dog." Edward told the policeman the story of his adventures before his father came to take him home, He said he got tired of the humdrummery of at- tending school and decided to see a bit of the world. So he borrowed $100 from his father—he found it in a wallet In the dresser—and a blanket and a tent and packed the last two things into a suitcase. He set forth, going by subway to Manhattan and then by ferry to New Jersey. He didn't know just what ratlroad he went to, but he went boldly to the ticket window and asked for a ticket. But he didn’t know where to, so he threw out a handful of change and said he wanted to go as far as that would take him. It didn't take him far, because he had to get off at the next station. Then, according to his story, he went into the woods and set up his tent alongside the road and lived there un- til lust Thursday, when the urge to THE EVENING WORLD, see Coney Island came on him, So to the Island he went and had 4 fine time riding the hobbies, not knowing that neighbors had seen him and reported to his father, But they had and so Brother Jim went to hunt for him. Edward said he didn't know just what had become of the $100 he had borrowed from his father, but said he guessed he would have to quit school and go to work to pay It back, = GIRL FATALLY BURNED PLAYING AT BONFIRE Tolando Spero, four years old, got a box of matches in the kitchen of her home at No. 65 South Day Street, Orange, N.
