FIRST VICE PRESIDENT IN CHARGE OF PRO DUCTION I N motion picture producing, we cannot 1 pause long to celebrate past successes — we must always be advancing with far-seeing eyes and alert showmanship brains towards ever greater goals of entertainment. The 15th Birthday Group of pictures described here is a mighty tribute to our producers at the studios. Messrs. Turnbull, Schulberg and Le Baron, and their associates. It reflects splendid credit upon the distinguished stars, artists, directors and other contributing talents under the Paramount producing banner. To them I wish to express my sincere appreciation. They have pledged their utmost I and they are making good a hundredfold. For the Industry's ^Progress For the Industry’s ress CENEBAl MANAGER, FOREIGN DEPT »no ASST. TREASURER IT has been my particular good fortune to have recently met many of the prominent exhibitors who will be reading these lines. I have seen and visited their theatres, and have mingled with the people who are their patrons, week by week, month by month.

They represent quite easily the supreme achievement of the motion picture industry, not only in the general excellence of the productions themselves, but in the widespread nature of their appeal. These 75 Paramount Pictures for 1927 represent the greatest combined effort to internationalise the motion picture; and although the appeal of these pictures will be world-wide. I can think of no part where their actual appeal will be more emphatic and appreciation more widespread than in Australia, New Zealand and the Far East Page Three.
