The Culmination of an Ideal

An ideal – hardly that, the fond dream of dreamers – has culminated in a happy reality.

Ogden today takes its place on the Metropolitan highway of entertainment, in tune with the cities ten times its population.  To Mr. Harmon Perry and Mr. Loius Perry – men of vision – Paramount salutes.  Your ambition to erect a temple sufficiently embellished to fittingly present the great Paramount photoplays of today and tomorrow, is realized.

Through twelve short years we, the Salt Lake City office, have keenly watched the passing of store-room and hall theatres, and the coming of palatial shrines dedicated to the motion picture art.  We are proud that in many instances Paramount has been the inspiration.  Our leadership, which you have recognized by arranging to show Paramount Pictures to the exclusion of all others, is especially gratifying.

Paramount can conceive of no greater responsibility and honor than to justify your faith and the faith of thousands of other leading showmen of the world.

District Manager,
