P E P-O-G RAMS Page Five AN HONORARY VICE PRESIDENT OF THE CLUB RETURNS Emi3 E. Sliauer Back from European Survey The giant Cunarder Berengaria last Thursday returned to us cne of the most popular of the Club’s Honorary officers — Emil E. S h a u e r, general manager of the Foreign Department. His return concludes a four months intensive survey of the entire European territory, his travels having taken him through all of Western Europe, Egypt, Turkey, Poland and many other territories. Mrs. Shauer also returned with him; but Melville A. Shauer, past president of the Paramount-Pep Club, and a member whose popularity knows no bounds, remained in Europe to consolidate and complete the multitude of details connected with the ramifications of Paramount’s huge organization there. He will thus be co-operating with the many great foreign executives we TEN MEDICAL COMMANDMENTS ONE. Thou shalt not take the name of Modern Illness in vain. TWO. Honor thy Company’s Doctor and thy Company's Medical and Welfare Department. THREE. Thou shalt report thy first traces of illness, sickness and general disability. FOUR. Thou shalt abide rigorously by thy Doctor’s advice. FIVE. Thou shalt knozv that it is better to be but a little ill and get speedily well, than to be a whole lot ill and to be made well again after a long while. SIX. Thou shalt knozv that just as a soft answer turneth away wrath, so doth a timely remedy turneth away grave ill. SEVEN. Thou dost not have to be a schoolgirl to keep that schoolgirl complexion. EIGHT. A little thought about your health is far the peer of moneyed wealth. A UNE. You can carry few things to the cud of your life — but your good health can carry you all of the way. TEN. Thou shalt be dutiful to thy Company, thy Friends, and most of all to Thyself by asking thy Company’s Doctor and thy Company’s Welfare Department to speedily check any and all illness zvhicli may have singled Thee out for a victim. are all so pleased and proud to see at Convention time. Mr. Shauer reports that the Pep Club idea is spreading throughout the world. He attended functions of clubs similar to our own in London and Berlin, and reports that plans are under way for clubs in several other world capitals. THE ORANGE BLOSSOMS BLOSSOMED — AND THE WEDDING BELLS PEALED Last issue we told you that Donald L. Velde, one of Mel Shauer’s fighting Ad Sales lieutenants out in the field, was going to be married. This issue we tell you that he is married. The wedding took place at Staten Island on Saturday, January 14th, and now Miss Edith Madeleine Curtis is Mrs. Donald L. Velde. All mail may now be addressed to Peoria, where the newlyweds have already opened accounts with the grocer, milkman, news vendor and iceman. They can frame this page of Pep-O-Grams to further assure them that they have the continued good wishes of all members of the Paramount Pep Club. WHEN YOU WANT TO SEE OR SECURE A PICTURE Just as the Prince of Wales is popular throughout the world, so are the Wails for Prints popular with Sara Lyons, in charge of the disposition of prints of Paramount pictures for the entire organization. Miss Lyons, located on the twelfth floor of the great Building at the Crossroads of the World, lives in a perpetual state of having one ear to a telephone, the other ear receiving requests for screenings, and at least one hand transposing and re-transposing prints of pictures in order that we may secure the widest distribution of films with an economy of footage. She is, in brief, an exceedingly busy lady; and the only ones who don’t know it are those who are not members of the Paramount organization. TODAY IS ST. VALENTINE’S DAY Undoubtedly you know it! If you are the type to inspire valentines, then your friends will not have forgotten it: if you are the type that remembers this day, then of course you will not have forgotten it. We would like to fill the pages of this issue of Pep-O-Grams with a Valentine for each and every one of you: but rather than do that we think that the best thought for this day (and for every day up until March 23rd), is that you give your every Paramount-Pep Club thought to the making of the Ball on March 23rd a truly grand success. St. Valentine’s Day will come and go. It is but a day — a flash — a chance to be smart for a moment! But the Paramount-Pep C lub Ball has the entire success and future of the Club wrapped up in it! Try and not forget that fact!
