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,[4] public pressure resulted in the 1927 competition being the last pageant to be held in the 1920s.[5] The next Miss America pageant would not be held until 1933, during the Great Depression.
