k. • ■> v •’T'V.1*'? If it’s a paramount y*ictur& it s the best show in town — best in plot, presentation, staging, starring, dressing, laughs, thrills, pathos, everything, — best because it is made up to a standard and not down to a price, — best because the organization behind it is great enough to draw on the best talent of every kind in America and Europe and co-ordinate it to produce a perfect photoplay. If you are a real fan you know a real photoplay, and the way a real fan can pick out a Paramount Picture just by seeing a few hundred feet of it in the middle is the biggest tribute to quality a film can have. Watch the panel alongside for Paramount Pictures and watch your theatre’s announcements to find out dates of showings.
