Paramount Pep-O-Grams (1927)

Page Eight P E P-O-G RAMS ADDITIONS TO THE RANKS OF THE LONG SERVICE BRIGADE Last month’s mention of the eleven years of service of Harry A. Nadel has brought other similar examples to light. Palmer Hall Stilson, general traffic manager, is another member of the 1 1 years contingent, he having joined Paramount just two weeks after Harry Nadel, or on j January 17t'n, 1917, to be precise. And Lawrence Bailey, we understand, j joined Paramount in that same month. If you are eligible for mention under the Long Service Brigade heading, it will be | only your own fault if you do not let us know. There is space here for all of you, and a typewriter that is all eagerness to hammer your story out for publication. ANOTHER LITTLE BOY SAYS “HELLO” January 9th will henceforth mean another day for cake and candles in the Saveli home, since Mr. and Mrs. Leon M. Saveli were on this day presented with a little baby boy. Mother and baby both came through the ordeal fine, and Leon developed a grand case of “presidential handitis” receiving Pepster congratulations. THE DIAMOND’S ALL SET — NOW THE DAY’S TO BE SET Pretty Nora Horan walked into our office the other day and announced to the boys that they’d better concentrate elsewhere. Why? Oh, simply because Nora just gave in to> the earnest pleadings of her boy friend, nodded ‘Yes,’ and now she’s wearing an engagement ring with one of those ‘lasting’ stones that Lorelei Lee is so crazy about. Good luck, Nora! JANE POPULAR. Flo. Langhor, of the Paramount News Laboratory, and a member of the Paramount Pep Club, was evidently very popular at the last Meeting-Dance at the McAlpin, if one would judge from the manner in which the young men fought for the privilege of dancing with her. — L., A. We give you this picture partly as a treat for the girls (because it features Richard Arlen, Paramount leading man), and partly as a peek into the splendid new cafe which opened in the Hollywood Studio last month. This cafe is reputed as being the most com I plete and up-to-the-minute on the Coast. EAT WITHIN THE BUILDING One of the gastronomic highlights of February, so far, has been the opening of the sumptuous Childs cafeteria in the basement of the Paramount Building. This eating establishment, probably the finest of its kind in New York City, offers special features to Paramounteers in that they can eat there without leaving the building. In these winter months, that is a real feature indeed. In the summer months, its cool corners should be very popular indeed. The food of course is excellent, and the quality of the service is entirely up to you. PROGRESS NOTES OF THE EDUCATIONAL COMMITTEE By Chairman Irene F. Scott Most schools and colleges in the vicinity are now making registration for Spring classes. All those interested should not lose any time in securing what information they may desire and having their names entered on the rolls of the various schools. The Educational Committee has endeavored to keep on hand an up to date supply of information regarding classes offered in the various institutions in our vicinity. The Spring announcements will probably be in shortly. Considerable interest is being manifested in the class in Parliamentary Procedure. 1 More people should take an interest in this particular type of work. Please get in touch with Mr. Alvin Freisinger. The Speed Class now meets at the rear j of the 12th floor (Miss Swayne’s Department) on Monday evenings shortly after five o'clock. This particular activity is meant for your assistance. No one gets j any benefit of it but yourselves and pulling up your speed may lead to securing a better j job if }7ou are readj7 for the opportunity. WHEN THE LOCK BALKS— or when you forget the key — call Vincent Trotta, Room 1250 Paramount Building. His experience at the top of the Paramount Building, one gusty day in late January, qualifies him perfectly for the role of “Alias Jimmy Valentine.” Full directions will be sent on receipt of stamped and addressed envelope.
