P E P-O-G RAMS Page Nine IN SUNNY CALIFORNIA Jerry (nee Lillian) Goldsmith, the brunette in charge of the titling of Paramount pictures for the Foreign Department, knows the real kind of a place to go for a vacation. She sailed a week ago on the California for California, and will complete the trip back to New York by rail from Los Angeles. En route to Filmland, she has touched at Havana and Panama, and had almost fourteen days of some of the most delightful ocean travelling in the world. Unless the casting director at 5451 Marathon Street, Hollywood, sees her and casts her as Charles Rogers’ next leading lady, she should be back on the tenth floor of the Paramount Building within three or four weeks. 12th FLOOR NEWS-O-GRAMS by William Gold Rose Boyle is tapping on her comptometer once again. She certainly is ambitious. As she remarked to one of the girls in the Department, “The best part of a vacation is getting back to work.” ... Miriam O’Connell has recovered from an attack of La Grippe and is now back at her desk Mortimer Cohn, the versatile songster, keeps us entertained with his pretty melodies. He seems to enjoy them. . . In the Spring, a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of — It seems to be the Goddess Diana in the case of Irving Cohen. The boys would certainly like to meet her !.... Indian dresses seem to be the vogue in the Sales Statistical Department. Yvonne Rigney, Miriam O’Connell, Anna Stumpf and Eileen Eady are on the warpath, armed to the teeth with bows and arrows, tomahawks and knives, ready to invade Indian Point June 16.... Sadie Spitzer, who is seriously ill, left on an extended vacation. We are all hoping that she will have a speedy recovery and be with us again very soon.... This Department welcomes Rose Mirell and Vincent Dougherty, its newest members.... Roslyn Millman is trying to go Luther Burbank one better by raising flowers in sponges. We hope the venture is a success ! Mr. and Mrs. James B. Reilly desire to thank the employees of ParamountFamous-Lasky Corporation and Pttblix Theatres Corporation for their gift and assure them of their appreciation. Mr. Reilly, if you will remember, just joined the newly-married ranks. Mr. Reilly is one of the shining members of the stockroom on the 8th floor, and is the junior partner of the Hecht-Reilly Corporation.— W. R. H. Evelyn Winters says: “Now I know why so many army officers sit with their feet on the desk” (she’s just had her first riding lesson). FILM RENTAL NEWS The Film Rental Department seems strange these days, so many changes having been made. Girls, you’ll find Ed Berger, our “sheik,” down in the Booking Department ; Nick Herrnkind, our talented artist is now with Joe Sweeney; and Innis Atwill, our famous pianist, has been keeping books in the General Ledger LInit. These places have been filled by Dar e Cooper, who is the present “sheik;” George Bressler, a shy young man (he won’t be shy long, he sits next to Sadye now), and Dick Sheehan, who as yet is only a newcomer. Sam Bottleman has been promoted from the 9th floor to the 11th floor. Sadye Innerfeld has lost the distinction of being the only female, since May Burke has been transferred to the Department. She sure has lots of competition, and how ! says Sadye. Charles Eicli who must read what Paul Gallica says about what the well dressed man must wear has been working overtime lately. We wonder why? Most everybody is back on the job, after being out for everything from a cold in the head to a pain in the chest. It seems like old times again. GENEROUS OFFER TO PEPSTERS FROM TOWER LIBRARY Irene F. Scott, Chairman of the Educational Committee, asks that the following message be circulated to all members of the Paramount-Pep Club: The Tower Circulating Library, located at 11 West 42nd Street, Room 704 is making ns a very generous offer. It proposes to give us the following rates if we go to the library rooms and serve ourselves : $.05 for one day $.10 for two days $.15 for three days $.20 for four days five to seven days $.25 and $.02 per day for over the week. That is on regular $2.50 and less, fiction. Non-fiction and higher priced fiction ranges $.30 per week and upward. It is also proposed to eliminate the $1.00 membership deposit. The librarian proposes to set aside a shelf labeled “For the Use of the Paramount Pep Club Members.” The library is open until 6:15 in the evenings. This seems to me a very generous offer of which our members should be glad to avail themselves. THE SADDEST NEWS It is with a regret so sincere and deep that we are unable to put it into words that we are compelled to record the passing of Henry Salsbury’s 12-year old daughter on June 5th: — And to record that on May 8th, Louis S. Diamond suffered the loss of his father. Jerry Goldsmith i\
