PARAMOUNT PUNCH.
OVER QUOTA!
AD. SALES BOYS GET GOING.
The Ad. Sales Department is off to a splendid start for the New Year. Last week, Varcoe of Melbourne; Lawn of Perth, and Whitelaw of Launceston, sailed well over quota, whilst in the previous week. Jack O’Neil of Sydney, broke the ice, with Perth and Launceston also scoring.
With the New Year hut six weeks under way, Varcoe of Melbourne has attained quota four times; Whitelaw of Launceston, four times; Quincey of Brisbane, twice; Lawn of Perth, twice, and O’Neil of Sydney, once. A remarkably fine showing, that augurs well for 1931’s Greater New Show World Season
STAN CRAIG HELPS NAPIER VICTIMS.
Mr. hicks has received advice from Stan Craig, Gen eral Manager for New Zealand, to the effect that soon after the news of the Napier disaster reached Wellington, he secured a car, and packing it with provisions and medical supplies, set out for the Napier district. Mr. Craig, together with Mr. Bob Shepherd of the Regent Theatre, reached Napier just before dawn, on the day following the disaster, and were one of the first of the rescue parties on the scene. Good work Stan.

BIG SCOOP!
FIRST MOTION PICTURES OF NEW ZEALAND QUAKE.
Head OPFICE yesterday received the first motion pictures to be taken of the recent earthquake disaster in New Zealand. The special Paramount cameraman arrived on the scene at Napier before dawn on the morning following the first shocks, and obtained 370 feet of remarkably fine film, showing the appalling devastation, and the rescuers at work.
The prints were rushed through the customs early yesterday morning, and a copy made available for showing at the Prince Edward Theatre, Sydney, at the afternoon session.
Other prints are being made ready for immediate shipment to all other states, and a copy is already enroute to America.
Paramount has recorded yet another mammoth scoop.
