By a Leading Showman: I 10 Reasons why I signed a 1929-30 Paramount contract with pleasure 1 5. 6, 7. a. 10, PARAMOUNT'S 1928-29 record of 28 talking knockouts in 6 months proved that company alone can produce quality talking pictures in quantity. I've read every company's announcement and PARAMOUNT'S 65 features for 1929-30 certainly outclass the rest of the field. PARAMOUNT has the cream of the stage stars. Moran and Mack, Marx Brothers, Dennis King, Gertrude Lawrence, Hal Skelly and the rest. When you've recited PARAMOUNT'S list complete, what's left? PARAMOUNT has the talking picture stars my people want. Harold Lloyd, Clara Bow, Bancroft, Rogers, Cooper, Chevalier, Eagels, Arlen, Powell, Brent, Nancy Carroll, Ruth Chatterton, Dix. I've seen and heard 9 finished 1929-30 PAR AMOUNTS— Moran and Mack, "The Dance of Life," "The Four Feathers," "The Cocoanuts," "Dr. Fu Manchu," "Greene Murder Case," "Charming Sinners," "The Lady Lies" and "Hungarian Rhapsody." They beat anything I've ever experienced ! I previewed a lot of 1929-30 PARAMOUNT Shorts. Nothing else in the field can touch them. And there's 86 of them! PARAMOUNT Sound News will give me a real NEWS reel in sound. PARAMOUNT 1929-30 national newspaper and magazine advertising will sell my shows. I've seen the plans. They're great — and helpful. It's A NEW SHOW WORLD for a fact— and PARAMOUNT gives me a chance to cash in on it 100%. I've got a big investment in my theatre and its sound equipment. Why should I fool around with other companies when I can hook up with THE LEADER . P. S. If I xvere going to show silent this coming season, Vd sure grab PARAMOUNT "S 40 or more silent pictures. That would be the only sensible thing to do. A
