Paramount Pep-O-Grams (1927)

P E P-O-G RAMS Page Eleven CONGRATULATIONS TO H. A. NADEL ON 11th YEAR WITH PARAMOUNT When January 1st dawned clear and sharp, Harry A. Nadel, assistant manager of the Paramount Purchasing Department, awoke with the pleasurable sense of satisfaction that he was starting on the eleventh year of his successful association with the Paramount organization. It was away back at the start of 1916 that Harry made the never-to-be-regretted move of aligning himI self with the motion picture industry’s foremost force for progress, and since that time he has forged steadfastly through the ranks to his present high peak of achievement. The congratulations of every Paramounteer and Pepster go out to Harry A. Nadel in wishing him still greater triumphs and achievements. SECOND MEETING-DANCE TONIGHT Following up the unprecedented success of last month’s general meeting and dance at the Roosevelt Hotel, the Paramount-Pep Club is holding its second Meeting-Dance at the same place tonight. A record roll-up of members is expected, for this is the first meeting in 1928, and many important pronouncements are to be made. FOR TRANSPORT DELUXE When the thought of the coming Spring Convention rolls around, perhaps the first person thought of is Lawrence “Larry” Flynn, Paramount’s transportation manager. | The reason for this is obvious, because to “Larry” falls the task of outlining transport schedules, bringing Foreign Legion Paramounteers here from the earth’s four corn' ers, booking the Domestic Paramounteers over thousands of miles of railroad, fixing the million and one details with hotels, and I generally engaging upon a task which keeps him busy for months before and after the j Convention. And not only that! When the Company’s i executives go to and from Hollywood, or Europe; when stars travel to and from New York in any direction; when steamers have to be met or farewelled — Larry is on the job, or on the dock, all of the time. It’s no wonder that the electric light point over his desk uses more bulbs than probably ; any other one in the building. A correspondent writes to say that all of the Paramount girls are becoming bowlegged, and wants to know whether to blame this defect onto the speed of the elevators | in descending. Do we hear protests? Or is the dull murmur in the distance merely a I signal of confirmation? F.H.B. — LORD OF PARAMOUNT POSTER PRODUCTION rS F. H. B. One of the Paramounteers who wisely took advantage of the Christmas holidays to get out of town for several days was Frank H. Blakely, manager of Paramount’s department of poster production. And he had good reason for going, too, for with the ever-increasing development of our organization’s production activities, Frank’s department feels the added pressure in the preparation oft more and finer and bigger and better posters. He has a mammoth task before him for 1928; hence the trip out of town for several days. You probably know it already, but the fact is worth stating again that the peppy and colorful posters which originate in Frank Blakely’s energy-plus department on the sixth floor of the Paramount Building, are displayed in practically every country in the world. A dentist says that he had an absent-minded motorist in his chair the other day. “Will you take gas?” he asked. “Yeah,” replied the absent-minded one, “and you’d better look at the oil, too.” “You’re a lucky dog, Bings,” said the fellow in the next chair. “They tell me you’re making three times as much money as you did last year.” “Yeah,” Bings replied wearily, “but my women folks found it out.” A VISTA OF UNRIVALED BEAUTY rOU PEPSTERS who have been to the Observation Tower of the Paramount Building know this to be true: you know that the summit of your own Paramount Building gives you positively the finest panorama vieiv in all New York! But do your friends know IT? Have yon urged them, one and all, to make the 35-story trip to the top of this Building that is so dear to you? Have you insisted that they really haven’t lived until they have seen the World’s Greatest City spread as a carpet of riches before their very feet? Admission is a mere SO cents. There are glasses available at a well-equipped souvenir store right in the Observation Tower. Remember, Pepsters, it’s up to us to keep our Paramount Building forever prominent as one of the four best known buildings in all the ivorld.
