Paramount Pep
Cuba to Celebrate Paramount Week
First Country to Broadcast Celebration by Radio. Elaborate Plans for the Big Week. Shauer’s Message to Cuban Movie Fans to Be Broadcasted

Cuba enjoys the distinction of being the first country to broadcast its Paramount Week celebration via the radio. Advices received by E. E. Shauer, Director of our Foreign Department, tell of elaborate plans for the celebration to be held in honor of the fifth anniversary of the Carribbean Film Company and of our pictures in Cuba. Cuba is the sixth country outside the United States and Canada to hold a Paramount Week celebration, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Panama and Trinidad having celebrated last year and have planned celebrations for this Fall.
The program for the celebration in Cuba and Porto Rico will open on Saturday night, April 7th, with a radio program to be given by the Cuban Telephone Company radio station, known as Station PWX. A. L. Pratchett,
Managing Director of the Caribbean Film Company, will explain the purposes of the Paramount Week celebration and will tell radio fans in Cuba and Porto Rico some of the company’s plans for the future in the distribution of Paramount Pictures. The orchestra of the Fausto Theatre, the first run theatre for Paramount Pictures in Havana, will give an elaborate musical program which, among other interesting numbers, will include a special number written by a prominent Cuban musician and dedicated to “Semana Paramount,” or “Paramount Week.” Twenty new Paramount Pictures will be exhibited in Cuba for the first time during the week of the celebration which begins on April 8th, and Mr. Pratchett in his talk will tell the motion picture lovers of the two islands something of the treat in store for them.
The joint celebration in honor of Paramount Pictures and the Caribbean Film Company has been well advertised and radio enthusiasts in many parts of Cuba and Porto Rico have made their plans to “listen in” on the program.
Plans have also been made for a number of “radio” parties in New York, who will hear the program broadcasted by Station PWX.
Greetings from E. E. Shauer, our Foreign Director, to the motion picture lovers of Cuba and Porto Rico, are to be read by Mr. Pratchett during the course of the program.

Raphael Bernard
We are not the only people who boast of the wonderful Paramount smile, for we have a contender in Mr. Raphael Bernard, the co-editor of “Success,” our French house organ in France and brother to PEP.
Mr. Bernard is exceedingly proficient in the use of the English language as well as his own, and always wears the big Paramount smile during his daily tasks.

Now look out, Walter.— After Walter Hiers views the photo of this thirteen months’ old son of Mr. and Mrs. John S. Martin, of London, he had better look to his laurels.
John, Jr., is a husky chap and his father says that as early as this stage of the play, he is spending many dimes.
