Marlene Dietrich TODAY'S BIGGEST HITS! TVJOTHING is so important to exhibitors as the answer to, "What kind -L ^ of pictures are you giving us right now and in the next few weeks?" It's a happy fact that the best Paramount product of the current season comes from March to August, 1931. We believe it is our strongest spring line-up. To go back a minute to the beginning of the 1930-31 season, we need only to cite such hits as the Marx Brothers in "Animal Crackers", "Manslaughter", "Let's Go Native", Ruth Chatterton in "Anybody's Woman" and "The Right to Love", Lubitsch's "Monte Carlo", Maurice Chevalier in "Playboy of Paris", Nancy Carroll in "Laughter", Harold Lloyd in "Feet First", "Tom Sawyer" and Marlene Dietrich to prove that Paramount leads this year, as usual. But even bigger hits are here and on the way. ******** t f t "DISHONORED", starring the Great Dietrich with Victor McLaglen, is smashing all records in its long run at the Rialto, New York. Topping even "Morocco" figures in key spots. "UNFAITHFUL", starring Ruth Chatterton with Paul Lukas, is making even the high "Anybody's Woman" marks tumble. Another Chatterton picture "MY SIN" set for July release. 'SCANDAL SHEET", in which George Bancroft stars with Clive Brook and Kay Francis, is doing the heaviest Bancroft business in years. "HONOR AMONG LOVERS", starring Claudette Colbert and Fredric March with Charlie Ruggles, is proving to be just what the box office ordered.
