Paramount Observing Fifth Annual 'Better Pictures’ Week

Backed by an array of the "best motion pictures” ever produced at any one time In the history of the screen, film producers are predicting that the season which opened this week will be the most prosperous in a long time —not only to themselves in box office receipts, but also to the picture-loving public in higher standards of screen entertainment. For the fifth year the picture industry is setting aside one week as a "better pictures” demonstratoin. Out of courtesy to Paramount Pictures, which will be shown in most of the 15.000 theaters throughout the coun try, this week is known as the fifth annual Paramount Week. Adolph Zukor. president of Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, producers of Paramount pictures, says the industry today is in better shape than it has ever been and that the severe slump has cleaned up the industrial waste everywhere. "Tou ask me if business will be good this fall,” says Mr. Zukor. "That depends, first, upon the pictures, doesn't it? Recent evidence on Broadway is proof enough that people, as always and under any conditions, will flock to good attractions. "When I say that pictures are several times better than ever before — that may sound extravagant. But that’s my sincere judgment. “In the first place, we know here, pretty clearly, vhat the entire market is producing. I mean our competitors. It is our business to know, and we know they are away ahead of past products. So I speak for pictures in general.” When Mr Zukor referred to "recent evidence on Broadway" he had in mind “Blood and Sand,” anew Paramount picture starring Rodolph Valen. tino, which has broken all records at the Rivoli and Rialto Theaters. This picture 1s now on view in Indianapolis at the State Theater. Other Paramount pictures soon to be seen are expected to be equally successful. Among these is “Burning Sands.” a desert picture produced by Ceorge Melford from the novel by Arthur Weigall, with Wanda Hawley and Milton Sills in the featured roles. It is heralded as the answer to “The Sheik.” Another is “To Have and to

ONLOOKER Disapproves of Insulting Tactics on Part of Policeman. To the Editor of The Timet Monday afternoon at 12:05 o’clock, to be painstakingly exact. I saw one of the rudest exhibitions on the part of a pol.cenian that I ever witnessed. At a certain downtown street intersection, known for its heavy run of traffic. I saw a corner policeman—probably sore because he had to .vork on Labor day—do more to Injure the good name of Indianapolis than all the posters, campaign, slogans and movements ever instituted could offset. An automobile, driven by a party residing in a Stake far enough from Indiana for the occupants to he totally unaware of Indianapolis’ traffic signals, crossed the street when the warning sign was set “Stop!” Evidently the driver of the car did not see the sign, nor the policeman, so far as he was concerned. The policeman. with vile and abusive language, ordered the driver to back the car the

The hero, who was the driver, remained silent, listened politely, and
