What the Success of the Ball Reflects
By EUGENE J. ZUKOR
(Chairman, Board of Governors of Paramount -Pei) Club)
Eugene J. Zukor, Chairman of the Board of Governors of the ParamountPep Club, zvas away in Minneapolis on the Company’s business the night of the Ball. But he has made careful and critical analysis of the event, both before and since its happening, and his findings are expertly set forth in the following message to all Paramount-Pep Club members'.
One of the very sincerest regrets lot my life is that pressure of the Company’s business held me in another part of the country the night of the Paramount Pep Club Ball.
H owever, in reviewing the event, it is my very distinct pleasure to be able to congratulate the Club on the manner and the measure of its success with the Ball, and at the same time to congratulate the Paramount organization on being the possessor of a Club Whose members had both the spirit and enterprise to stage so exemplary an event as the Paramount-Pep Club Ball.
Two distinct phases of success are attached to the Ball. One is the purely financial success which guarantees the Club’s continuance on an independent basis. The I other, and more important, success is a moral one: the success
achieved by members of the Paramount and Publix organizations living up in the finest degree to the faith held in them by their Company’s executives, and exemplifying before the world the Company’s renowned and envied traditions.
Heartv praise is due all those who did such wonderful work in the interests of the Ball. Individual commendation is hardly practicable at this stage, for there were so many numbered among the workers; but at the same time it is simple justice to pay tribute to the work accomplished by Sara Lyons, Lou Diamond, Joseph Wood, Dave Cassidy and Harold Flavin. And, of course, to your President, Vincent Trotta, who did yeoman service during every waking hour in order that the Ball would be numbered with the Paramount successes of the past.
The Club now faces a shining future, guaranteed not only by the financial success of the Ball, but also by the legacy of this newest demonstration of the fine-spiritedness, self-respect and confidence of its members demonstrated before the elite of New York’s business and social worlds.
