Paramount Pep-O-Grams (1927)

P E P-O-G RAMS Page Five YAWN — AND MINE! Just look here and see what a peep at a copy of Pep-O-Grams can do to the tired constitution of Bobby Vernon, star in Paramount-Christie Comedies. And why not? If we had Frances Lee to hold a copy of Pep-O-Grams before us (like Bobby has), why well, anyhow, . what is your ending to this sentence? funds before fun THE “FEEL MY PULSE” BRIGADE We have a note to the effect that Morris Simpson, of Mr. Michel’s Department, is still suffering from the nervous breakdown announced at the last general meeting. Our regrets — and our hopes for a swift and lastting recovery. There’s another note to the effect that Tom Walsh, the Demon Purchaser, has been away ill for a couple of days. Don’t i you believe it — Tom is far too busy for any | germ of illness to catch up with him. funds before fun NEW AND WELCOME PEPSTERS Membership Committee Chairman J. A. j Philipson advises that the following Paramounteers had the Pep Membership degree conferred upon them at last month’s general meeting: — Lilyan R. Proger, Doris Meyer, Mary Irene Arnaiz, Winifred M. Rosetti, Charles J. Powell, Anita Siegler, John Primi, I Sam D. Bottleman, Gertrude Denleau, Isabelle R. King. We are also aware of a dereliction of duty in not having reported the following addij tions to the Club’s Membership, the folks concerned having been elected to membership at the previous meeting: — Hyman Uretsky, John A. Hammell, George J. Schaefer, Albert J. Richard, Helen C. Hand, Sidney H. MacKean, Dorothy Holm, Daniel Papp, Ernest Lucas, Ed. Matthiesen, Helen C. McCormick, Walter Leppanen, Ed. F. Corcoran. Still another duty is to give the correct spelling of the following names which were misspelt in the Anniversary issue: — James M. Ashcraft, George W. H. Britt. Now if there is anybody prepared to throw the first stone, let him make sure that he has sin — cerity; because we seem to be squared right up to date on this membership question. A GRAND TIME PROMISED A Christmas Ball and Military Pageant to which all Pepsters are invited, will be held in the Hotel Astor on Friday night, December 23rd, starting at 8:30. The affair is being staged by the S. Rankin Drew Post of The American Legion, composed solely of men in the motion picture and theatrical business and newspaper men. Messrs. Eugene Zukor and Russell B. Moon are members of the ball committee. The proceeds are to be devoted to making a Happier Christmas for those disabled soldiers for whom there was no armistice, and the distribution of baskets to the widows and orphans of ex-servicemen. Tickets, which are $3.00 per couple, may be obtained from Mr. Moon (Room 955A) or from Leon J. Bamberger, Room 1252. ESTABLISHING AN ALIBI This photograph is of Jack Davis, member of Mr. Michel’s accuracyperfect Auditing Department. It comes to us through the regular channels with the express wish that Jack would like it printed. You see, Jack has just joined the United States Cavalry, and he is anxious to establish proof of the fact that his legs naturally performed as outward bound arcs before he commenced taking up military horseback riding. A supplementary note comes from a friend (?) of Jack’s, saying: “Jack has joined Troop F. of Uncle Sam’s Cavalry. Since following the suggestion of an auto friend to put snubbers on his Shetland, he no loneer uses the mantelshelf for a breakfast table substitute.” TRY TO BE BRIEF One of ike things that we like to do best in this publication is to print contributions without having to whittle them dozen with a blue pencil. So please don’t, try and spread a paragraph story over a full page. We have a limited space, and zee zoant to get as many items as possible into it. Thank you! SAFE. An interested reader urges us to refer Estelle Jacobs, who won the sum of $57 in the Football Pool, to the Safe Investment _ Department. “Take the tip, 'Jackie,’ it’s good,” says the reader.
