Picture-Play Magazine (Sep 1921 - Feb 1922)

Advertising Section 3 Twenty; Miles Each Wciy and worth it! THERE are still places in America where the audience arrives m the saddle and the hitching post does more than support the figure of a loafer. The Paramount dramas of luxurious life in the mansions of Fifth Avenue, the castles of old England and the chateaux of the Riviera are as wonderful to these tanned horsemen as photoplays of their lives are to the metropolitan fans. Paramount Pictures draw people from longer distances than any other photoplays. "Twenty miles each way and worth it!" for the folks of the open country might be translated: "Twenty blocks each way ajtd worth it!" to the city dweller, who may pass three or four ordinary theatres en route. Unremitting devotion to the ideal of better entertainment, better motion pictures, has not gone unrewarded. You people with an ounce of discrimination know that Paramount Pictures are everlastingly there. You know by your own business gumption and experience that more than 11,200 theatres are not showing Paramount Pictures regularly merely because someone said they were better. And you know that the greatest organization in the screen industry — with magnificent studios in England and America and with a reputation for success so magnetic as to draw the greatest talent in directing, acting, authorship and screen technique — did not just happen, like the mushroom, overnight, but was laboriously cut and polished, like the diamond. And like the diamond, the brilliance of Paramount Pictures is indestructible, making men and women tireless in quest of them, knowing as they do that if it's a Paramount Picture it's the best show in town.
