y 10 Surprise Candidate for Queen _ Of Coney’s Mardi Gras Carnival Injects New Thrills in Contest } ot eee Martha Mansfield, Already a Queen of the Screen, Comes From Nowhere to the Leading Position, and There Are New Candidates for King, Too. A sud4en switch in the voting in the contest for the King and Queen of the Mardi Gras at Coney Island has brought the position of the lesser monarch right to the top. More than 1,000 Evening World|) coupons were cast over the week end for Miss Martha Mansfield. Up to that time Miss Mansfield as a]} stranger to the royalty of the Coney Isiand Carnival, But yesterday morn- ing coupons began frittering into The |/ Evening World office like snowfl Be it said to the tgnorance of The Evening World Coney Island Mardi Gras Contest Editor, he had never heard of Miss Mansfield, Then, ac- companying one of the bunches of coupons which were sent to The Eve- ning World, was the photograph of the latest and, up to date, most suc comstul candidate for Queen of the Mardi Gras. Well, we leave it to the readers of The Evening World to decide for themselves whether the royal ermine would be becoming to the original of the photograph that decorates the name of Martha Mansfeld. Many of The Evening World staff declared that she was already of the royal purple, yesterday afternoon he had thirty-five more yotes than the hotel man of the island. And Charles Godwin, also of Coney, climbed up several rungs of the lad- but those who know her deny the graceful compliment Miss Mansfield, we are told, is prettier than her photograph and thot the only claim she has on royalty ts that she is a queen of the screen, She fs now the leading young woman of the Pyramid Pictures, Inc., an was refently one of the headliners of Flo Ziegfeld’s Follies. More beau- tiful things than that are said of her by many admirers who sent in cou- pons to be placed to her credit in the contest for, the Queen of the Mar di Gras. But while Miss Mansfeld shot to the front like an arrow from cu bow, the admirers of Assemblyman Frank Miller were not lacking in their votes for their favorite for King. Mr. Miller outdistances his rivals and the nearest of them isn’t within shooting range. But at that another day may tell another story For instance, there is Joe Bonomo, the ‘wonder man’ of Coney Island. His admirers stole a march on Peter Minnekake overnight and put the popular member of the Coney Island confectionery family in second place. Mr. Bonomo passed Mr. Minnekake and when the couporls were coynted Grand Rapids, New York and Chicago Exhi- bition Bed- room Suites Tops, Posts and Sides of Guaran- teed Five-Ply Veneer.
