jEFF RALPH PUTS UP FINE PERFORMANCE IN CASH COLLECTIONS.
The Perth Branch has been figuring prominen t I y in “Punch” headlines during the past tew months, in the matter of sales performances.

TWO CHAMPS!
MONTH doesn’t go by without Paramount being eminently represented in the U.S.A. “Motion Picture Herald’s’’ Box Office Champion list, in the August listing, Paramount has two: “SONG OF SONGS’’ and ‘MAMA LOVES PAPA’’. No other company had more!
Here he is, folks, W. C. T. “Tommy” i4an3on, ace booker for New Zealand and right-hand man to Stan Craig. He’s only a handful but he’s got plenty of what it takes to land that winning spurt. Waipukurau, Te Puke, Ngaruawahia, Kohukohu, are just a few of the towns that Tom has booked for special December contracts. Try to pronounce them. . .just try.
MAE REVEALS REASONS FOR HER SUCCESS.
MAE WEST LOas asked by a visitor on her "Tm No Angel ' set at the Paranwunl siudios, to describe the kind of a character she plays.
"Well,” Mae remarked, "she's the kind of a girl that can lose her reputation, and never miss it!
"In other words”, she added, “when she's good, she's very Very good, and when she's bad, she's better!”
CONTRACTS
RENEWED.
CAROLE LOMBARD AND DOROTHEA WIECK.
Carole Lombard. Dorothea Wieck.
PARAMOUNT'S production chief, Emanuel Cohen, announces that Carole Lombard, who has already been with Paramount for many years, has signed a new long term contract, thereby binding her screen talents to Paramount for a further lengthy period.
Miss Lombard has appeared in numerous Paramount successes, which have proved to be the forerunners of the success she now enjoys. Her first picture for Paramount was “Safety in Numbers”, then followed “Fast and Loose” and so, after enjoying the leads in at least ten others, she goes into the production of Paramount’s “Bolero”, opposite George Raft. This will mark her first appearance under the terms of the new contract.
In addition to this announcement, Mr. Cohen states that Paramount has exercised its option on Dorothea Wieck for a lengthy term. Miss Wieck, a recent Continental find, has made her American debut in “Cradle Song”.
IF IT’S A PARAMOUNT PICTURE— IT’S THE BEST SHOW IN TOWN!
