Vol. 26, No. 25 Universal Weekly 3 COMEDIENNE When the critics review this picture, you are going to be buried under a shower of adjectives with regard to Miss La Plante. The world and his wife will suddenly realize that a star of first magnitude has appeared — a star to be reckoned with hereafter as one of your very strongest attractions. Before you even have an opportunity to show “Finders Keepers,” the truth will be known by your customers and they will be eager to see Miss La Plante. If you have not booked this picture, that is your worry, not mine — except that as one who has tried to give you the straight truth through all the years I have been in business, I advise you to arrange for a booking. Any previous Laura La Plante picture which you have not shown should be booked also, for the wise showman is he who looks ahead and prepares for the demand which is sure to come. Miss La Plante, by the way, has never been in a poor picture — but “Finders Keepers” is her very best to date. The screen has needed a real comedienne for quite a while. Laura La Plante now proves her right to the title, and she need share the honor with none! But she’ll share the PROFITS with you!
