Paramount Pep-O-Grams (1927)

^I^HE Welfare Department of Paramount, -L which serves not only the members of the Paramount and, Publix Corporation, but also the vast clientele of patrons of the Paramount Theatre, is one of the finest and most modernly equipped in the entire country. This fact we have endeavored to convey to you in the article on the opposite page, which is not only an endorsement of the work of the Welfare Department, but is also a plea for your sincere appreciation of the work and the benefits of the Depart ment. Above we show you just a few representative glimpses of the Department. There are two rest rooms, one for men and the other for women, of the type we have pictured. The operating theatre, at top right, is completely equipped for the performing of any operation. It is replete with every aid and every instrument for even the most intricate cases. Where corroborative diagnosis for complicated or essentially invisible disorders is needed — and particularly in the case of fractures and dislocations— there is an X-Ray chamber embodying ever)' modern phase of this vital aid to the surgery. Only a portion of this chamber could be photographed. The office of Dr. Stern, shown above with the doctor at his desk, contains not only a superb selection of the world’s best books of reference on medical subjects, but an exhaustive record of the Paramount and Publix personnel, together with complete statistics of the Welfare Department’s work. And though this is not the place for the quoting of a lot of statistics, you should be interested in knowing that the Welfare Department attended to 15,000 individual cases requiring attention in the twelve months ending June 30th last.
