Paramount Pep (1923)

10 Paramount Pep When You Get Something For Nothing Exchange Knighthood Low and behold comes forth no other celebrity than Miss Maine Connelly, switchboard operator at our Pittsburgh Exchange. On account of Miss Connelly’s qualifications for a very attractive subject, several of the newspapers in Pittsburgh are using this picture of Miss Connelly in a typical Marion Davies type — blonde hair and everything. This is an original Marion Davies costume worn in “Knighthood.” Los Angeles Lispings By A. G. Pickett Maine Connelly “The Covered Wagon” Before a large and enthusiastic audience, composed of every mother’s child connected with the Los Angeles Exchange, Carroll Peacock covered himself with the glory of oratory in Mr. Traggardh’s office last Saturday on the occasion of the presentation of the little Christmas gift we had secured for our manager. Carroll had rehearsed his speech until he was letter perfect. He managed finally to say: “Here it is,” and amid the thundering applause of the enthusiastic audience, he took refuge behind a lurid handkerchief, with which he mopped i his troubled brow. His voice faded out to a mere gurgle. He was completely nonplussed (whatever that is) and placed decidedly hors dc combat. Not to be outdone by the power of Peacock’s masterful talk, Mr. Traggardh’s opening remarks voiced the sentiment of the assembled crowd, in the words, “That was some speech.” Christmas comes but once a year — but Carroll has already signed the pledge never to make another presentation speech.

JOSEPH F. SAMUELS, Salesman, S. L. Exch. Bill Winship is being literally overwhelmed with congratulations from all his friends on his appointment to Mexico City. Bill is a regular scout, and we’re for him stronger than pig iron. Bill says he has already decided Pancho Villa will he his office boy, with Obregon as his Chief Clerk. That’s Paramount Pep for you, and Bill will put that office over in the glorious style of Paramount accomplishment. And isn’t it funny someone is always stepping on the parade. Mrs. Gladys Miller, our little Maintenance Clerk, who has attended to the wants of the office in everything from a safety pin to a new typewriter, for about five years, ups and tells us she’s leaving. It will surely seem funny not to see her at her desk any more, but Gladys knows full well she carries with her the best wishes of every one in the office. Speaking of cups, that Divisional Championship Cup is surely a beautiful ornament on Mr. Traggardh's desk. Not a member of the office but who does not glow with pride every time he gazes at it. Indeed the fruits of victory are swreet. There it stands a silent tribute to the energy and efficiency of the w7est division during Paramount week. May it ever remain west of the Mississippi, and eastern divisions take notice — this hope is a defy. We mean it. We thank Messrs. Ballance and Weeks for their liberality, and are now taking up a collection for a glass case for it, as it will of course remain permanently on the Pacific Coast.
