Paramount Pep 11 But Only the Success/ ul Admit It New Haven Nutmeg Gratings By Russell B. Moon The holidays have gone leaving everyone full of Pep, and the staff at this Exchange are on their toes. The motto seems to be “Let’s Go,” and why shouldn't we be ready to go, with a program like the big “39”? Oh, Boy! Park your snow shoes outside, ladies. Heard on the street : “What is this ‘Covered Wagon’ stuff, anyway?” John Tierney, our new Salesman in Zones 1 and 2, is thinking of equipping his Ford with sleigh runners these days. We expect to see him coming in from Windsor Locks most any day, on snow shoes or skiis. The snow doesn’t seem to bother Tierney with his sales though ; he just gathers round the stove with those upstate exhibitors and sells Paramount. Morris Rabanus, our veteran Salesman, has ’em all guessing with the sign on the rear of his car which says: “Watch for the ‘The Covered Wagon.’” “When Knighthood Was In Flower” is now being shown in all the key cities and the cold doesn’t keep them from lining up outside the box office. They just stamp their feet and wait their turn. Miss Guile, in the Accounting Department, wants to know if “The Covered Wagon” hasn’t got something to do with the City Police. Capital News By “Lou” Edelman — Washington, D. C. Les Whelan pops into the limelight again. He presented United States Senator Pepper, from Pennsylvania, with a photograph of the first covered wagon that made a trip across the Allegheny mountains. We are all covered with enthusiasm about the Covered Wagon. Incidentally speaking about Exploitation, several of the leading newspapers in the country are writing to the Washington Times requesting Whelan's campaign on the Old Homestead. Fred Meyers, salesman Zone 3, says, selling Accessories is a habit. That isn’t the only good habit that Fred has. The Washington Exchange welcomes to their happy family Miss Parks, Mrs. Rodier, and Mr. Gates. Big Tokyo Theatre Opens With Paramount By O. R. Geyer Chalk up another new record for the Paramount office in Japan! General Manager Tom D. Cochrane of our Tokyo office believes in getting a good start for the new year and in a letter to E. E. Shauer, Director of our Foreign Department, announces that he has made arrangements to open the great Imperial Hotel Auditorium in Tokyo as a pre-release house for Paramount Pictures. The formal opening was held on January 2nd, with elaborate ceremonies in which famous actors from the Imperial Theatre participated. Betty Compson’s “The Little Minister” was the opening attraction and was most favorably received. Actors from the Imperial Theatre, which is the greatest theatrical institution in Japan, will participate in the elaborate presentation programs for pre-release showings, all of which is certain to set the Japanese motion picture industry talking. As Mr. Cochrane explains : “Paramount is Paramount,” and it simply had to be done. ^ -4 •,) Toronto Tattle By Geo. Smith Rehearsals for the “Paramount Review,” which will be staged early next month, are progressing merrily. The success of the two numbers at the banquet of the “Pep Club” during the recent convention has attracted two new chorus girls to the ranks — Miss Marion Wainwright and Miss Queenie Neeley. They’re both some high steppers, too. Ernie Whelpley joined the Toronto sales force last week. He hails from St. John, where he has been helping “PAT” Hogan bowl ’em over. G. E. Akers left this week on a visit to the Home Office. Miss Ruth Weafer, who in years gone by went to Sunday school with Tommy Dowbiggin, of Montreal (we have Ruth’s word for this, so we must believe it, altho’ it’s hard), is a new addition to our office staff. Our bowlers have recovered from their recent slump. Leo Haag, who was “canned” for blowing instead of striking, has been reinstated on probation. The suspension of “Bill” O’Neill still stands. “Bill” isn’t worrying, as it gives him more time to be with his new baby.
