Paramount Follow Up


The "Paramount Pictures" logo atop a State Street, Wilkes-Barre building remains a mystery. See Friday's blog for the backgrounder.

A couple friends are attempting to point me in the right direction. One suggested trying to find Duard Slattery. He's a local film expert and historian. If anyone knows, Slattery should. If you know his whereabouts, please drop me a line.

Another friend did some checking with the veterans of the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts, the former Paramount Theater. One theory is this was a distribution center for Paramoung films when there were many theaters in the Wyoming Vallay and Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Someone has to know something. Thanks for the help.
