’ 52 Paramount Releases

The Rylander theater together
with thousands of other theaters

serve the week* of September 2 to

Paramount week, the first week In

With the beginning of Paramount

abouts will have put before them
a fare of motion picture entertain
mene surpassing that ever before

82, and this year- there will be on
ly 52, or one a week.

ed this season by „ the Famous i
Players-Lasky corporation include!
the following:

Highway,” a James Cruze special,
