That the only topic of conversation in Head Office these days is "Love Me To-Ni^ht” after the first screening on Monday afternoon. . .

IN APPRECIATION.
"1*0 each and everyone of you boys and girls who participated in making the Month of September Drive such a sensational success, I want you to know just how much I appreciate your efforts. This drive was probably the most outstanding in the history of the organisation. Every branch, without one exception, made a splendid showing.
Nobody gave a thought to depression and adverse economic conditions. . . a splendid alibi for slackers. . . But everyone put their shoulders to the wheel at a time when it was needed most, demonstrating the truth in our slogan. . . ‘There’s Plenty of Punch in the Blue Ribbon Bunch”.
To the members of the sales staff of the Melbourne Branch, who obtained the highest percentage over Quota, and to the Ad. Sales Department of the Brisbane Exchange, who led the field in that section, 1 am happy to announce that you will shortly receive the prize money promised.
Now we have almost on top of us the International Drive for the month of November. This is not an individual effort, but a contest embracing every country in the world where there is a Paramount office. Here is our chance to show the rest of the world the famous Australian fighting spirit. All that I ask you is to go after this Drive in the same grand spirit that you went after the September Drive, and I am sure that nothing will stop us from leading the field past the post.
Managing Director.
THERE’S PLENTY OF PUNCH IN THE BLUE RIBBON BUNCH
