Paramount Pep-O-Grams (1927)

Page Eight P E P-O-G RAMS EIGHTH FLOOR QUIPS by Hank This floor is fast becoming the beauty center of the Paramount organization Claude Keator has been missing too many L), L and W trains so he’s going to switch back to the Erie The Publix Publicity Department takes pleasure in presenting Sue Brust as “The Woman Who Laughs” Alfred Fitzgerald Jones, the handsome colored youngster who has been named by visitors of the Paramount Theatre where he is employed as Page, as the Personality Boy, has let Dan Cupid shoot an arrow through his heart. Eleanor Shriner, a student teacher, is the lucky girl. Jonsey hasn’t been the same since he met her If Sally Novak keeps on drinking those rich Walgreen sodas — well, the scales will tell Paul Ash, the Genial Giant of Jazz of the Paramount Theatre, who is reputed to be "the answer to a maiden’s prayer,” according to Helen Kane, the cute singer on the stage with agent, is beginning to grip the hearts of some of the girls within our own organization. I n Chicago, where he hails from, he left 2,000 weekly love letters from flappers. Sue admits she’s scared to admit that she really has a “crush” on Paul Mrs. Homer S. T raw (Chalmers Shumate) in a Publix Presentation, “The Woman Who Pays”.... Now if Jimmy Reilly looks bad we know what’s the trouble — he’s married Any cjuestions in reference to ancient history should be referred to Eve Ettinger Alice Irene Kelly is wearing a smile again. She and the boy friend have made up Howard Richard Lesieur, that handsome young advertising writer who is a frequent visitor to our floor, has invested in a Chrysler ‘62’ maroon colored roadster That last bit of information was especially meant for a dark haired miss in the filing department. Notice is served on the Medical Department to reserve a bed for me the day that this edition of Pep-O-Grams is distributed to the members. When she reads this column she’s going to do something very rash to me. But you won’t let her strike me, will yuh, Howard? Selina Peggy Quis is so-and-so about a certain young chap. 1 wonder who? Seen the latest in pipes? Ask Mr. Haley or Henry Spiegel to show you theirs Tony Muscio has moved his paints and brushes back here again from the Rivoli Theatre So long — Same to you. BRING YOUR CHILDREN! It is announced for the benefit of parents that you can bring to the Picnic all of your children that you want to. Tickets will not be required for them. Understand this clearly — tickets are for the adults and the Pep Club members only. Children of Pep Club members will not require tickets. REAL ESTATE REFLECTIONS By Jack and Jill The department is very happy in the knowledge that Air. T. C. Young's wife is well on the road to recovery. Air. Young, we are pleased to declare, is his own spry self. Our genial Ed. Jones is married now and has our best wishes for luck and happiness. Bill Lawrence will soon hit the trail to the tune of “The Wedding March.” Incidentally, Bill will be the second man of Real Estate to walk the plank of matrimony recently. Elizabeth Dohm is back with us after an illness of short duration. The first thing she did was to water her pet “ivy.” Ho, Hum ! Spring is here. A flower in Air. Ericcson’s lapel gave us the clue. Real Estate is wondering whether or not Evelyn O’Connell eats bird seed, as she is constantly whistling or singing. Air. Powell both cultivates and rents land. Sylvia Pomeranz showed the girls a new fashion creation the other day. Evidently Air. Leppanan’s ambition is to be a second Lindbergh because he is flying high, wide and handsome. We see very little of Air. Johnson’s smiling countenance around our office these days. We wonder if cigars are good for colds. Are they, Air. Harsnett? We think that Gertrude Volmer, a new addition to our staff, is a ray of sunshine. Dick Engel’s enforced absence, resulting from the grippe, showed us how much we missed him, even though he has but recently joined our ranks. LEW NATHAN’S DEPT GROWS There are those who say that Lew Nathan has a cinch of a job photographing those platoons of Publix Pulchritudes two or three times a week. But doing that — and then doing the stacks and stacks of regular photographic work are not in the same category of pleasure. And if you think that Lew Nathan has no other work to do, just try and get a peep at that hive of industry which he has on the Twelve-and-a-Halfth Floor: a hive of industry which turns out so much work that Lew "has been compelled to adopt a studio on the Tenth Floor over the Paramount Theatre, right across from where the Pulchritude Platoon Prances and Pounds the floor with their rhythmic tapping. In other and more prosaic words, the work of our Paramount Photographic Department has caused it to expand its space. IT’S A GIRL! IT’S A GIRL! ! Richard Murray, accountant for the Paramount Broadway Corporation and the Paramount Road Show Department, is counting up the telegrams and other congratulatory messages sent to Mr. and Mrs. Murray cn the advent of their third youngster. The baby, a girl, will henceforth remember that June 6th has a special significance for her. We want her parents to know that the Pep Club’s congratulations demand to be listed with the others. him, and his press Mrs CHALMERS S TRAW
