7th Miss America pageant
Beauty pageant
Miss America 1927, the seventh Miss America pageant, was held at the Million Dollar Pier in Atlantic City, New Jersey on Friday, September 9, 1927. The winner was 16-year-old Lois Delander who competed as Miss Illinois. She won the Miss America title on her parents' twentieth wedding anniversary.
After newspaper articles alleged that young women were being falsely lured into the competition with claims of a screen test and the promise of a likely film career, public pressure resulted in the 1927 competition being the last pageant to be held in the 1920s. The next Miss America pageant would not be held until 1933, during the Great Depression.
