Paramount Pep-O-Grams (1927)

Page Ten P E P-O-G RAMS AN AUSTRALIAN EXPRESSION OF I THE CLUB SPIRIT The Pep-OGrams files have given up this Australian cartoon expression of just what the four letters in the word “C 1 u b” stand for, so far as the Paramount Pep and Punch Clubs are concerned. The Pep Club you of course know, and the Paramount Punch Club is an organization fashioned along similar lines, with the Paramounteers of Australia, New Zealand, Java, Straits Settlements and Chang-land (Siam) as its members.

Here’s half the treasure of the Spanish Main being offered by Publix Theatres for the best name for their stage bands.

Frank Cambria, of the Publix Production Department, is back from Europe with a flock of production ideas gathered during three months of travel, funds before fun THE PEEP SHOW. The rehearsal rooms on the ninth floor over the theatre still continue to be a magnet that attracts a stream of workers who somehow or other find that they have business in that part of the world. Here’s a tip. however — swallow a draught of H. G. Wells’ “Invisible Man” fluid before you go there, because there’s a pretty tough edict directed at those who would loiter in the vicinity of the dancing damsels. funds before fun SPARKLE! SPARKLE! Rona Yablon, that beautiful typewriter destroyer in Ed Olmstead’s office (as our correspondent describes her), is sporting a luscious' sparkler on the well known finger of the well known left hand. Miss Yablon clearly indicates her pride in the ring, and slyly mentions that the donor is a D. D. S. TWELFTH FLOOR— ISMS Eva Rigney, the type men prefer, was giving an exhibition dance, and now the boys are anxious to take private lessons. But they don’t stand a chance. (She’s a man-hater?) Pauline Hicks is strutting around with a new anklet. “What price fashion.” Was the Glee Club organized for the benefit of Adelaide Donohue? At least one of the members of the Sales Statistical Department has taken advantage of the opportunity in reduced prices called to our attention by the Co-Operative Buying Committee.

The members of the Sales Statistical Department are thinking of presenting Mortimer Cohen with a pair of “Rubber Heels” for Christmas. A Fresh Air class has been organized on the twelfth floor. Exercises start promptly at 4:00 P. M. Anna Stumpf is one of those very few fortunate girls who doesn’t have to worry about diet. It isn’t very often that she can’t dig up a sandwich on a short notice. Really, Anna, why don’t you bring some coffee in to make a square meal of those sandwiches? The girls of the Contract Department wonder where Laura Sheller gets her Parisian creations. C’mon Red!! Jean Cadger, one of the Paramount Veterans of the Contract Department has been assigned to Tom Conroy’s desk. The entire department extends best wishes for her continued success. funds before fun OUR STAGEDOOR KEEPER. Thomas Olshansky Shannon, the young-old Pepster who knows whom to let in and keep out at the Publix ninth-floor rear reception desk, has brought about the reform that will guarantee his part of the building getting adequate representation in Pep-O-Grams hereafter. Henry Spiegel of the Reporters Committee has undertaken to gather in the news from Pop for Pep hereafter. Pop greets all the young ladies who want work in the Publix shows, and says that his job is not for sale. funds before fun ADDITION TO THE “FEEL MY PULSE” BRIGADE. Marion Hecht, the dashing blonde in Leon Bamberger’s office, is having a serious bout with illness.
