These letters haoe been forwarded to exhibitors screening Paramount pictures during the months of November and December. I might add that We have already received successful replies from many of the towns concerned.” Max Lovett, Acting Ad.

Max expects to sell at least 100,000 couriers on this picture, and judging from the flying start made, he seems certain to achieve his objective W. Bignell, Adelaide Ad.
