Paramount Pep-O-Grams (1927)

Page Eight P E P-O-G RAMS FLASHES FROM THE FLOOR By Jack Davis, Basket Ball Reporter It is with regret that I cannot report a victory for the basket ball team over the team representing Rathe in our last game. In my opinion they were unbeatable that night and we were far from in form. However, at our best we would have been forced to bow in defeat to a team that was working as a perfect scoring machine, while at the same time presenting an almost perfect defense. The score at the close of the game stood Pathe 58, Paramount 29. While it would appear from the score that the game was one sided and uninteresting, this was not so, as it was as interesting and exciting a game as our previous encounter with Pathe from which we emerged victorious. To sum it all up in a few words, it was a good, clean, fast game, in which the better team finished at the top of the League. We are looking forward to a dance and basket ball game which has been arranged for an all star1 team which was selected by officers of the Motion Picture League. This game and dance will be held at Palm Garden on March 30, 1928, and they will have as their opponents the Pathe team. The members of the All Star Team are as follows : Players: Scholtz, Keenan, Hollander, Helt, Davis (Paramount) : Star, Theeman, Press (Fox) ; Yates, (Consolidated). This should be a game worth seeing and reporting. MAKING FOR GOOD HEALTH On the order* of Ralph A. Kohn, Treasurer of Paramount Famous Lasky Corporation, all department heads are to he governed by the following set of regulations which will make for still greater efficiency and happiness zvithin the ranks of the organisation : Physical examination will be required of all new employees of the Home Office. After a Department Head is convinced that an applicant is satisfactory in other respects the Office Manager will arrange with the Medical Department for the examination. New employees will not be placed on the payroll unless physical examination is favorable. Department Heads who observe indisposition on the part of an employee will order that person to report to the Medical Department at once and be governed by the Doctor’s orders. Employees returning to work after absence due to illness must report to the Medical Department before returning to their desks. Failure to so report will result in the deduction of their salary for the period of absence. NEW MEMBERSHIP CHAIRMAN This is William Goldstein, Chairman of the Membership Committee. His drive for new members goes on tirelessly. Under his guidance, a new batch are added to the roster in this issue, and you can bet your sweet life that there'll be another big batch next issue. APPOINTED TO ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE Entertainment Committee Chairman Lcuis Diamond wants the entire Club to know that William Mcllvain has been appointed to the Entertainment Committee. This means that “Mac” will be lending a lot cf his renowned energy to the successful conduct of the Ball on March 23rd. FOLKS WE KNOW MARRIED: Selma Greenbart is back at work after a two weeks’ vacation. Our correspondent adds that the cause was Matrimony, and wishes us to extend congratulations and best wishes. We do! RESTED: Gertrude Levy is back from a week’s rest at Atlantic City. (So a marriage is a vacation; and a vacation is a rest. Well, now we know, and sincerely thank our correspondent. Ed..). OUR SOCIETY COLUMN Irene Lippman who became Mrs. Benjamin Jacobs on Feb. 25, was given a surprise party by Ruth Johnson of the Disbursements Dept, on Saturday, Feb: 18. The following besides Irene gathered at Ruth’s home: Mamie Baker, Doris Lipschutz, Mary Turner, Mildred Tormey, Zelda Pyne and Maxine Kessler. Irene was presented with a package which contained some useful kitchen utensils; also a letter written in rhyme as to how to make the best use of these utensils. A delicious lunch was served to the double quartette. Everyone had to entertain — and they did! A most delightful time was had by all. Thank's, Ruth! — M. K. NURSE. With the advancement of DrStern’s Medical and Welfare Department to a position of still higher standing in the organization cf Paramount Famous Lasky Corporation, this seems as fine a time as any to pay tribute to Miss Kathryn Ryan, whose efficient capability and reassuring personality make visits to the Medical Department such that any traces cf trepidation are removed. Miss Ryan has contributed very materially to the progress of the Home Office Medical and Welfare Departments, and we wish her still further success.
