Paramount had a victory over First NationalWarner on Sunday last at football by 19 to 6. ‘‘Rambler” was unable to attend the match owing to a “hang-over”, so we sent along “Bluey” Goodwin, baseball ace, to cover the game. “Bluey” has never seen a football game before, so you will have to try hard to follow his description of the game . . . “It was the greatest fight I have ever been in,” said “Bluey” . . . “Football will do me . . .you get a better go at your opponents than in baseball. . . Well, the game started off with Jack Palise getting a full Nelson on a big forward, but the other side equalled when the full-back got an aeroplane spin on Charlie Hale . . . At half-time when the seconds entered the ring they were six up on us. . . They wouldn’t count a grand slam that Hermann Flynn put on a F.N.-W. forward, because
Hermann was only a spectator . . .
“When the bell went for the second half” . . . continued “Bluey” . . . “The fun really started . . . Paramount, bencStting from a little tuition on the side line from Cantorwine end Kotsonaros. . . put it all over the opponents. . . and with a succession of flying mares, headlocks, toe holds and Boston crabs, ran out winners by 19 to 6 . . .What a go it was. . . After the boys finish paying their doctor’s bills I believe we are going to have another game. . .
PARAMOUNT WEEK
IN a very short while, we will celebrate the Tenth Annual Paramount Week. The week for this year has been set for August 3 1 — September 6. 1 am looking to this
week, and to the month of September in general, to set up a new record for the Blue Ribbon Bunch. I am looking forward to this special effort to place our division well over the top in the world-wide Studio Sponsored Contest. Let’s Go!
Every branch and district manager has received and acknowledged the special quotas 1 have set for this month. Not only have they acknowledged these quotas, but every one of them, to a man, has pledged that they will get these figures in every instance.
ON the strength of these promises, 1 have cabled Mr. Shauer that he can expect record figures from us for the month of September. Now we all have a pledge to fulfil, and NOW is the time to go after the business for Paramount Week.
Already most of the boys in the field have fired in good contracts, showing extra business for September, but this is not, by far, up to my expectations. We must have Head Office literally flooded with Paramount Week Playdate Pledges. 1 want to see every print, sound or silent, on booking during September. Let s Go!
Paramount First, Last and Always.
