Panama Joins Drive Being desirous of having a place in the worldwide celebration of Paramount Week, the Republic of Panama, through the enterprise of Robert Wilcox, I^aramount distributor, joined the ranks of the nations which set aside one week each year as a drive for better motion pictures. Reports received by E. E. Shauer, director of our Foreign Department, indicate that Panama’s first celebration, which was held the same time as ours, was most successful. Cinema Pan-Americano which owns and operates the Cecilia and America theatres, the two finest houses in Panama, arranged exceptionally attractive programs for Paramount Week, and entertained record-breaking crowds despite rainy weather. Such pictures as “Saturday Night," "The Sheik,” "Back Pay,” “The Last Payment,” “Nancy from Nowhere,” and “Everything for Sale,” were screened, “The Sheik” drawing crowded houses despite a heavy downpour of rain.
