Where Teamwork Scored
Phil Reisman, District Manager, Installs New and Profitable System in Booking for His District
By G. M. Spidell
A plan whereby accurate information as to location and open time of prints on the most active subjects of group five and all of group six has been worked out and put into operation in Minneapolis, Des Moines, Omaha, and Sioux Falls under the supervision of Mr. Reisman.
Every Saturday the Booker at each of the above exchanges posts his bookings on the most active subjects in group five and all subjects of group six released to date, for the succeeding five weeks on form 5-B, making three extra copies, one of which is then sent to each of the other three exchanges.
Thru this medium each Booker in the district is placed in possession of knowledge as to where and when he can borrow a print within his own territory and play out his contracted time quicker, also make spot bookings that he could not take without this information, thereby bringing in good revenue that would otherwise be lost. Further, he is in a position to tell the exhibitor just what he can do and when, giving a quality of service commensurate with Paramount standard.
There is also another very important result obtained by this plan. Time is saved; money is saved by eliminating the writing of letters, sending of telegrams and long distance telephone conversations in order to obtain the very data that little form 5-B now brings every Saturday without any pomp or ceremony, fussing, worrying, sweating or empty hoping.
This is one more milestone added to the steady advancement toward perfection of our Department of Distribution.
Our heartiest congratulations to District Manager Reisman, Branch Manager Strief and his Booker of Minneapolis, Branch Manager Nichols and his Booker of Des Moines, Branch Manager Thomson and his Booker of Omaha and Branch Manager Leak and his Booker of Sioux Falls.
District Managers, Branch Managers, and Bookers, get busy — inaugurate this plan in your territory—take advantage of the other fellow’s aid and give him yours. The time required to prepare the record weekly will be saved over and over by the elimination of correspondence and wiring in vogue today. You will find your problems easier to solve with this information at your fingertips always. Snap into it.
Teamwork and co-operation are the backbone of success.
Ye Editor hopes to hear from you shortly as to how you have mastered this new forward step.
In London
This, by the way, is the latest photo of our President, Adolph Zukor, and was taken just outside of Paramount House in London — headquarters for our organization there.
It is discernible from this photo that Mr. Zukor profited by his trip, as he is the picture of health and he says that he feels just as well as he looks.
Mr. Zukor attended the opening of “The Covered Wagon” a t Chicago last week and returned with most enthusiastic reports on the premiere.
