Forceful Film Tells
Epic Story of America
"YOUR TOWN," a stirring short
sound motion picture, coming to the
Paramount Theatre Wednesday un
folds the epic story of America. A
sleepy little one-street hamlet be
comes a thriving modern community
that has everything.
What is the secret of this magic?
What motivating force is behind
this amazing development? These
and numerous other questions are
answered as the reel unwinds.
A forward-looking citizen had "a
dream. He saw a factory rise from
dream. He saw a factory rise from
a field overgrown with weeds; saw
a bustling community, its paved
streets teeming with happy people.
The old one-room school where he
learned the 3 R's was transformed
into a handsome masonary struc
ture with many rooms overrun by
happy children.
Another man with a little money
caught the vision. Together they
built a modest plant and started
the wheels of industry turning.
Theplant expanded, the community
grew by leaps and bounds?the dream
came true. Ad the transforming pic
tures flash upon the screen a grand
father, who was part of it all, tells,
the dramatic story to his grandson.
The film depicts the American
way of life, based on human free
dom, . individual initiative, inven
tive genuis and the private - enter
prise system. It was produced- by
Audio Productions, Inc., in collabo
ration with the National Association
of Manufacturers.
