The Christie brothers are alive that it’s a new world, demanding nothing but the very best. No wonder big first run theatres like the Paramount, Rivoli and Rialto, New York; Million Dollar, Los Angeles; Metropolitan, Boston; Stanley Circuit premier houses; and others t.n.t.m., are opening wide and handsome to Paramount-Christie comedies. Did you ever before see letters like these from customers: OOOlfy f "Have just screened three of the new Paramount-Christies. Congratulations. Fine. Much superior to any Christies ever seen before.” Saxe Circuit, Milwaukee, Wis. '4 "Billy Dooley in 'Row, Sailor,. Row’ tore the roof off the Capitol, Vancouver. Bobby Vernon in 'Short Socks’ equally wellreceived. First runs all playing Paramount-Christies.” W. R. Marshall, Vancouver, B. C. fiji "I want to praise Paramount’s two-reel comedies thus far released. They are outstanding. Very humorous, a laugh in every move.” Montgomery Enterprises, Inc. Montgomery, Ala. C: "We have played seven Paramount two-reel comedies, two novelties and a half-dozen cartoons. I feel I ought to make comment on their excellent quality. Christie comedies are far superior this year and nothing has been spared in the way of money to get excellent casts, well dressed sets and sub-titling. Rarely, if ever, have we received such enthusiastic comments from audiences on short features. Such two-reel subjects are Godsends.” Lewis Sablosky, Stanley Co. of America. €J "Paramount-Christie comedies, playing first run here, are getting receptions that prove their popularity beyond a doubt. Just what the fans relish most.” Capitol Theatre, Winnipeg, Canada. Join the happy family! Book Bobby Vernon in "Short Socks,” "Crazy to Fly” and "Wedding Wows”; Billy Dooley in "Row, Sailor, Row”, "A Moony Mariner” and "Easy Curves”; Jimmie Adams in "Dr. Quack”, "Oh, Mummy!” and "Ocean Blues”; Neal Burns in "French Fried” and "Mad Scrambles”; Jack Duffy in "Hot Papa”; Anne Cornwall in "Scared Pink” — to name but a few. aoams ***£ CORN^V ^t*0lJFFY
