"Tortilla Flat" Coloring Contest, 1942
The movie, Tortilla Flat, was based on the novel by John Steinbeck about a California fishing community. The film stars Spencer Tracy, Hedy Lamarr, John Garfield, Frank Morgan, Akim Tamiroff, Sheldon Leonard, Donald Meek, John Qualen and Allen Jenkins. The director was Victor Fleming. I have never seen this movie but it has very good reviews.
The coloring contest appeared in a Pennsylvanian newspaper in 1942.

DANCING DOLL, 1923
I came across this cute dancing paper doll in a Montana newspaper. It appeared in a section of the paper called The Children's Gazette on May 27, 1923. Directions: Paste doll and standard on cardboard, and Russian costume and hat on very thin cardboard or heavy paper. Cut out following outlines. Carefully paste standard behind doll to make her stand firmly. Color the doll with paints or crayons and you will have a very pretty toy.
