An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Campaign Book (measures 9 1/2" x 12 1/2" [24 x 32 cm]; 24 pages) (Learn More) Your Profit is Assured, the 1932 Paramount campaign book issued to promote their movies that were made solely in April, May, and June of that year. At the end of 1931 and 1932, Paramount distributed very elaborate campaign books, two of the finest ever made. Apparently, in April of 1932, at the height of the Great Depression, theaters were worried about committing to booking expensive movies, and so Paramount created this special 24-page campaign book to promote solely their latest releases (the ones to be released from April to June). This small book has truly wonderful full-color ads, including a 2-page ad for "Deep Night" starring Marlene Dietrich, and directed by Josef von Sternberg (after many changes, including two title changes, it would be released as "Blonde Venus", one of her greatest hits!), plus 2-page full-color ads for seven other 1932 Paramount movies! Obviously, Paramount was trying to convince theater owners to book all eight of these movies, and they even put "YOUR PROFIT IS Assured" prominently on the cover!
