A GREAT MAN LAUGHS There is a quality to honest, hearty laughter which makes a great man greater. We were happy to observe this at the “au’voir” luncheon to Mel. Shauer a little over a week ago. On that occasion, with all due respect to the supremely humorous address by Toastmaster A. M. Botsford, we gained our greatest thrill and enjoyment from the genuine manner in which Paramount’s General Manager, S. R. Kent enjoyed the address. He was an inspiration: a splendid lesson in a greatness so human, that in surrendering himself and his entire mentality to the infection of wholesome laughter, he proved himself a greater man than ever. It is a simple thing for great men to sit around in glumness, silence and simulated concentration. But when they do that, no one ever knows the calibre of their greatness. It is only when a great man can set aside his cares and business stresses, and show that he is human as well as great, that we know he is an even greater man than we believed him to be. We, who watched Mr. Kent more than we listened to the address, envied him his laughter. But at the same time we made a mental note to write this quality of our General Manager’s laughter into the Company’s books as a very vital and tangible asset. HOW MUCH IS A DOLLAR? A dollar is the price of quite a few useful things of life. Of these zve shall not go into detail, for our main concern of the moment is the fact that for a lot of people a dollar is the price of their self-respect. These people arc the ones who never have available at the correct moment the sum of One Dollar which is their Club due; and who postpone payment and procrastinate to a degree which would truly humiliate them if they stopped a moment and reflected. More than that it is not necessary to say. This much is in itself too much, for it should not have been necessary at all. BE PROUD OF OUR LOBBY Office Manager McLaughlin has issued a notice again calling the attention of Paramounteers to the practice of congregating in ' the lobby of the Paramount Building, and also collecting around the entrance. To our minds such a notice should never j have been necessary. In the very first place we should all have the good manners never to have made such a common use of our lobby as to make it a meeting place; and we. should all have the decency to knozv that if we must have luncheon-hour sun-baths, there are more appropriate places for the purpose than the front of the Paramount Building. Our Office Manager’s message to you was couched in far more amiable terms than is this message: but amiable or not, a fact is a fact — and the pertinent fact of the moment is that you have no right to regard the lobby of our Building as a rendezvous, or the sun-, bathed exterior of the Building as an economical substitute for Miami or Manhattan Beach. TRUE WORTH OF PARAMOUNT PEP CLUB SPIRIT SHOWN IN . SALVATION ARMY APPEAL If there is one organization which manages, to gain glory without the customary glamor, of lengthy lists of patrons, officers and palatial committee rooms, it is the Salvation I Army, that same splendid manifestation of c, « noble man’s idea which served so heroically 1 during the war in which men’s bodies wen'm slaughtered, and is now fighting just a. : valiantly in the war of peace in which men’s I spirits are being slaughtered. Daily, hourly, every minute, the Salvatioi I Army carries forward its great work in th« J city of New York. So it zoas only human that when the P ar amount Pep Club was askei to participate in the Salvation Army Annuo ■ Maintenance Drive, the members should thi\ year contribute in a fashion which gave out ■ Club a record over all past collections. Under the captaincy of Lillian Stevens, J committee of sympathetic Pepsters gathere I in the sum of $576.42; and this opportunity is taken of most sincerely thanking ever I (Continued on Page 7)
