Promotiefilm over de distributiefirma Wilton-Metro-Goldwyn voor de Tuschinski-theaters te Rotterdam. Wilton-Metro-Goldwyn organiseerde indertijd in meerdere Nederlandse steden promotietours voor de eigen firma en de bioscopen waar de Wilton-Metro-Goldwyn-films draaiden. Te zien zijn beelden van zo’n promotieactie in Rotterdam, waar de speciaal voor de promotietour gecreëerde ‘eerste trein zonder rails ter wereld’ voor het Grand Théâtre staat. Op deze bijzondere trein prijken niet alleen slogans voor de eigen firma als ‘De mooiste films’ en ‘De beste producties’ maar zijn ook diverse reclameopschriften aangebracht (‘Sinco Benzine’). In beeld komen ook Abraham Tuschinski, directeur van het Grand Théâtre, en de directeur van de distributiefirma, de heer A. Noëls.

Promotional film about the distribution company Wilton-Metro-Goldwyn, made for the Tuschinski theatres in Rotterdam. 
 At the time Wilton-Metro-Goldwyn organized promotional roadshows in several Dutch cities for their own company, and also for the cinemas that screened Wilton-Metro-Goldwyn films. 
 This film shows the promotional activities in Rotterdam, where “the world’s first train without tracks” (which was especially created for this promotional roadshow) is parked in front of the Grand Théâtre. This particular train features slogans for Wilton-Metro-Goldwyn (such as “the best films” and “the best productions”), but also displays other advertisements (for example, “Sinco Benzine”). The films also includes shots of Abraham Tuschinski, the director of the Grand Théâtre, and Mr. A. Noëls, the director of the distribution company.
