We have adopted a new member into our happy and healthy (once again) Branch.' Walter Lange, former San Fran¬ cisco Paramounteer, has joined our forces. Welcome, Walter I He will sell Paramount's fabulous pictures in the Portland and 'Seattle territory .Speak¬ ing of fabulous pictures, we have had several screenings of some that really are . Had a sneak preview of Thh SEVEN LITTLt FOYS at the Paramount, and not only is it a great picture, but w6 hsd 3 tremendous turnouto ine exhibitor comments were terrific. Eveverybody called it the best show Bob Hope ever made,,... At another Para¬ mount screening we saw WE'RE NO ANG¬ ELS, It's tops! The audience enjoyed themselves throughout the entire show. You could hardly hear the dialogue through the audience laughter. From the comments passed over shoulders, around the room, and even out on the streets, it seems certain that this comedy will be a great hit, les,once again the exhibitors have to admit that Paramount can reach out, snap up the unusual and come up with a hit every time.,., -Wo have long and anx¬ iously awaited the release of STRATy EGIC AIR COMMAND. So have the exhibi¬ tors and the theatre-going public. Now the suspense is over. SAC opened at the Paramount with a bang, and the business continues to be magnificent, Portland has tremendous expectations from SAC . THE FAR HORi ZONS also is expected to do very well in Oregon. Lewis and Clark have important places in Oregon's history, and there is a fine monument to tnem on the Oregon coast, « Sharon Lange
