Of course, Paramount is an entertainment production company from 1912 to the present. They are the fifth oldest surviving film studio in the world. Paramount Pictures dates its existence from the founding of the Famous Players Film Company by Adolph Zukor. That same year, Jesse L. Lasky opened his Lasky Feature Play Company, and both companies released their films through a start-up company called Paramount Pictures Corporation (and their first movies were "released through the Paramount Program"). In 1916, Zukor maneuvered a three-way merger of his Famous Players, the Lasky Company, and Paramount into the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation. The new corporation absorbed other firms (such as Artcraft in 1918) and eventually was simply known as Paramount Pictures. The early history of Paramount is fascinating and filled with backstabbing, and anyone interested will be greatly rewarded by reading about it! We do not provide a list of these items, but there are images of all of them. Condition: good to very good. Note that two of the cards have "glitter" glued to the title! This is not a "defect". This is something a number of theaters did in the 1910s, when labor was incredibly cheap, and they would have poor immigrants put glue on the letters and then pour glitter over it, because they thought it made the cards look "cooler"!
