FEW days ago I had Dan Carroll, Mel Lawton, Jim Thornley, and some of the Head Office boys into the Little Paramount Theatre to see a picture. After the screening, 1 saw such a powerfully intensive display •of real enthusiasm as 1 have seen in a long while. PARAMOUNT’S BEST BOX-OFFrCE BET IN YEARS. The picture screened was “Love Me Tonight ”. 1 want to tell you here and now, that this is Paramount’s outstanding box-office picture in ten years. It spells box-office at any angle that you may look at it. Chevalier is marvellous. . . many times greater and finer than he ever was in any other picture. He acts with greater finish than ever before, and his sense of comedy is more pointed and understandable. He sings song hit after hit . . . Songs that will be remembered, sung and whistled around the world. Everybody, everywhere, will adore him for his performance in this one. Every member of the cast is perfect. And the direction! Mamoulian has turned out the finest directorial job of his career. You can go the limit on “Love Me Tonight”. Here is the greatest piece of theatrical property we have handled in years. The studio has done its job, now it’s up to us. Let’s Go! f o
