Page Pen p E P-O-G Rams AN EXTRA BUSY TIME AHEAD With a big and important proportion of the work on the forthcoming Convention entrusted to Publicity Manager Charles E. McCarthy, we prophesy an extra and consistently busy session of work ahead for “Mac’s” efficient secretary, Adelaide Miller. Furthermore, owing to the international nature of the Convention, we are positive that the nature of the work that Miss Miller will be entrusted with will at least be partly the equivalent of a round-the-world tour. HOW MANY IN REAL LIFE? Despite the comparatively short six-year run of “Abie’s Irish Rose” in New York City, there were a few Paramounteers who managed to see the show. A few more know what the play was all about — and undoubtedly everyone knows that the play is being made into a picture by Paramount. The play concerned the marriage of an Irish girl and a Jewish boy. Abie married Rose Marie; and in time there was a little Abie and a little Rose Marie. Well, what our inquiring reporter wants to know is this: are there any real-life “Abie's Irish Rose” families associated with Paramount? Are there any Paramounteers with Jewish fathers and Irish mothers? We can answer our own reporter by telling him that we already know of one instance. But because we believe our readers would be interested in knowing of more, we are making this appeal. So send along your name if your parents provided a real-life case of “Abie’s Irish Rose.” METEOROLOGICAL NEWS FROM THE PARAMOUNT NEWS LAB. With the popularity of songs of the “winds,” a writer can readily be inspired to something original by visiting our building for a few days. North Wind: The air is permeated with the aroma of boiling chocolate and caramel which emanates from the Park and Tilford candy factory on our north. East: Wind : Brings forth the aroma of roasting coffee mixed with other edibles from Park and Tilford’s plant on our east. South Wind: Brings the aroma, not easily forgotten, from the slaughter houses a few blocks below us. West Wind: Brings us a reminder of the distillery just a few doors nearer the Hudson than we. Thank goodness only one wind can blow at a time. WEDDED. Anne Berliner is now wearing a wedding band, and we find the lucky man is Frank Clady. Congratulations!

Have your dollars sitting nice and snug on the edge of your desk as the scouts come around, and pay up promptly with a smile.
