WE’RE WINNING . . .
pARAMOUNT WEEK proved again the "will to win”.
Every Branch exceeded the business hoped for in Paramount Week, and from every indication, will keep up this pace for the rest of the month. The same good work applied to Ad. Sales.
However — we have three weeks to go, including this current week, to the end of the September Drive. We’ve conquered the first hurdle, and we re winning, but there’s no resting on laurels in this business. Let’s keep on winning with the superb product like MAKE ME A STAR, MILLION DOLLAR LEGS, THIS IS THE NIGHT, and ONE HOUR WITH YOU’, which is in our hands. Take the tip right now that we've also got more great pictures coming very soon.
Every extra booking of an unplayed Feature or Short Feature reflects to your credit during this Drive. If you can’t sell a Feature, then sell some of our exclusive
SCREEN SOUVENIRS, PICTORIALS, SONG CARTOONS or SCREEN SONGS. Sell more 24-Sheets and Couriers. They all help at the Box Office.
Every Branch has a fair and even chance yet to win this September Drive. I only urge you now to keep your old Paramount spirit in action.
