Eileen Salama

[ca. November 1956]

The newest Lowell Thomas Cinerama production, "Seven Wonders of the World" continuing at the Boston Theatre. Eileen Salama, born in Cairo, Egypt of French parents, has recently returned from Wadi Beihan in southern Arabia, where she filled the unique role of "advance man" for "Seven Wonders of the World," the new Lowell Thomas Cinerama adventure. An experienced explorer who has served with Dr. Wendell Phillips expeditions for the American Foundation, she was ideal for the job because of her knowledge of Arabian dialects. For the Cinerama camera, Eileen arranged a camel stampede, and for the twenty crewmen, living quarters had to be set up in this desolate land where the Queen of Sheba once lived.
