"Laughter" Surprises H. 0.
Finished and sent to Paramount'* home office, a tumult started at the first projection room showing of "Laughter". The Paramour, eers asked each other why no one had said anything about the picture before.
The oldest Paramount staff man could not recall of a studio turning out a big picture and keeping it a secret ^
"LAUGHTER"
"Laughter" Wins Against Gold in New Par Film
It's a screen success before released. Which means a real grosser. (There aren't many "Laughters" on stage or screen.
Nancy Carroll plays well. If he can duplicate his work in "Laughter", Fredric March is a star He is a merged breeze of all breezes.
Hugely enjoyable entertainment. The sort the flaps like. They'll talk about "Laughter" for a long time.
Nancy Carroll, put to the test, comes off with high honors. Fredric March is a knockout feminine spectators will adore.
