“In the many years that I have been selling Paramount pictures,” continued Mr. Hurworth, “I have never before experienced such a keen demand for the product at this time of the year. Showmen have not only sensed the quality of our new season line-up, but they want it, and want it before the other fellow. I tell you boys in the field right now, to get set for the biggest buying stampede in the history of the business.”
