T TO BE BIB EVERT rrogram for Near Future Shows Booking-of Ex ceptional Productions :- j Local theatres, together with thousands of other theatres throughout the country, will ob serve the week of September 2 to 8 as Paramount Week. ' Paramount Week, the first week In each theatrical season, has come to be established in th mo tion picture trade as marking the industry's best effort, and this year it is expected by motion pic ture people that this Paramount Week will be more successful than ever held neretoiore. i ne pur pose of each Paramount Week is to focus the attention of the pub-J lie on the advances made during the year in the motion picture art and to show that during the com ing season the theatres playing the better type of pictures' will warrant the patronage of their public. J - With the beginning of Para mount Week, mation picture pa trons hereabouts will have put be fore- them a fare of motion pic ture : entertainment surpassing that ever before shown upon the screen. Advices from producing centers states that never before in the history of motion pictures have there been so many big and really worth while film produc tions waiting for release as there are at this time. Critics of mo tion pictures who have been de manding that the film studios de velop their opportnnit!es are promised satisfaction this year in prospectuses issued by producing companies. . . ; As one of the steps toward rais ing the artistic standards of pic tures, the producers of Paramount Pictures, the Famous Players-. Lasky Corporation, have reduced the number of pictures which they will release this year. ; Two years ago there were 104 Paramount Pictures released between Septem ber 1st and August 31st. Last year there were 82, and this year there will be only 52, or , one a week. Although the number of pictures has been radically re duced, all of the production re sources of the Famous Players Lasky Corporation has been kept intact and will be eoneentrated on the production of these fewer pic tures. Each of the pictures ae cording to an announcement 'by the heads of the Corporation, will be bigger in every way than any pictures hitherto produced by the company and as more time has p mm liU u.filJU uuiiJvsJ uinifc i I ii- ;,J" All these Paramount artists invite you to participate.
