PARAMOUNT TO AID WAR LOAN DRIVE
Co-operating Fully With All Plans
New York — Paramount Pictures through¬ out the country, in all departments and branches, together with its theatre part¬ ners and associates, was mobilizing last week along with the rest of the indus¬ try for the Third War Loan Drive start¬ ing Sept. 9.
“Backing the attack,” the objective of this combined front will be to sell as many War Bonds as possible.
Selling of War Bonds has been a con¬ tinuous effort for all these theatre cir¬ cuits, and they plan to step it up for the Third War Loan Drive.
From Sept. 1, 1942, when they became war bond issuing agents, to June 1, 1943, Paramount theatre partners and associates have sold in excess of $78,000,000 in war bonds, it was revealed. They hope to increase this rate tremendously for the month of September and will use all means at their command to achieve maxi¬ mum bond purchases at their theatres.
War bond premieres are planned during the drive in all towns where Paramount theatre partners and associates operate.
Working with the state and local War Finance Committees and War Activities Committees, these theatres plan to put all the ballyhoo, showmanship, color, and spectacle behind the drive to arouse the utmost possible enthusiasm for more bond purchases among their patrons and the public at large. Newspaper and radio ad¬ vertising and publicity, screens, lobbies, fronts, tieups with other participating business groups and organizations — all these and other available channels will be used. In addition, special events are planned.
The executive heads of these circuits are actively identified with the State and local Bond Drive and War Activities Commit¬ tees, and some are active nationally.
Ray Beall, of the Paramount-associated Interstate Circuit of Texas, as advertising and publicity director of the industry’s Third War Loan participation, is promi¬ nent among those who are contributing their services.
On the east and west coasts and through¬ out all its exchanges. Paramount will “back the attack” with bonds and manpower, led by Barney Balaban, Adolph Zukor, and Stanton Griffis in New York, and Y. Frank Freeman, B. G. De Sylva, and Henry Gins¬ berg at the Hollywood studios, and ex¬ tending throughout the rank and file.
Paramount is cooperating fully with all plans as developed by the Distribution Division of the War Activities Committee, in supplying prints for war bond pre¬ mieres.
A war bond premiere, with seats scaled from $10,000 to $25, will launch the ad¬ vanced price extended engagement of Paramount’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls” at Loew’s Palace in Washington, D. C., on Sept. 15.
Paramount will award War Bonds aggre¬ gating $1,400 to exhibitors for the best
