Duke's contract with Nat Levine at Mascot
was non exclusive.
Paramount hired Duke on a freelance basis for a supporting role
in Lady and Gent
The movie was superior to the movies he made at Coumbia,
and Paramount represented a step back into the major leagues!

Duke made 13 movies for Paramount,
including significantly his last one, and his one and only Oscar one!
