#1 The Second International Pageant of Pulchritude and Eighth Annual Bathing Girl Revue

Held from May 21 to May 23, 1927, in Galveston, Texas. More contestants from outside the United States entered the pageant compared to the previous year, with women from Cuba, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, and Spain joining. Canada and Mexico also sent delegates, as they had in 1926. There were also 29 contestants from the United States. An estimated 250,000 people attended the events during that weekend, and over $5000 in prizes were given to the winners. The pageant was becoming known as an opportunity for potential movie and stage actresses to be discovered.

Miss United States, Dorothy Britton, who represented New York City, was crowned Miss Universe 1927 at the end of the event. She was considered the first American girl to win an international contest of any importance, as well as the first girl from New York City to win a national prize.

#5 Coupla birthdays...

The organs, a chorus of trans,
And Democrats, screeching the banns.
"Another beheading?"
"Republican wedding."
"Oh, whose?" [flied lice] "Cohan and Franz."
