Paramount Pep (1923)

Paramount Pep Paramount Pep Club Ball Set For March Ninth The Club’s Second Annual Affair to Take Place at Commodore Hotel. Last Year, Which Was an Astounding Success Promises to Eclipse Bob and Babe Bob Gary, Milwaukee Exploiteer, responded with this photo upon a request from us. The other seveneighths of the photo is none other than Babe, who tips the scales at 485 pounds. Bob expects to use her on “The Covered Wagon,” and paste a twenty-four sheet on her back, for exploitation purposes. Based on the success of last year’s ball, which was one of the biggest social events in motion picture history, hundreds will now have their anxiety relieved by the announcement of the entertainment committee under E. C. Norrington, that March 9th is the big date. The grand ballroom of the Hotel Commodore has been engaged and aside from a stage built right on the ballroom floor, the room itself will be elaborately decorated. Anxiety stock is considerably above par in the announcement that the club again has engaged J. Cox and has famous twenty-four expert musicians for the big event. The general committee under E. C. Norrington and their sub-committees are vigorously wading into peppy arrangements for the big events and this year will again introduce the most attractive dance program which was given away to all those present last year. The program will carry complimentary pages of the various stars and directors, and business houses thruout the country. Boxes this year will sell for $100.00 and tickets outside of club membership will be $5.00 per person. Club members on presentation of their club card will be admitted free and are allowed a reduction of fifty per cent on one ticket only, for an escort. An elaborate supper will be served at midnight and immediately following the supper professional talent will again put over an entertainment second to none. Nils T. Granlund of Loew, Incorporated, has again come forth in his willing way to assist in this respect. E. C. Norrington says he will duplicate if not eclipse E. A. Brown’s splendid achievements of last year. Mr. Brown was the chairman of last year’s successful affair. Those on the executive committee are: E. C. Norrington, Chairman; P. L. Morgan, Publicity and Advertising; H. C. Wylie, Entertainment; G. M. Spidell and A. M. Botsford, Program; G. B. j. Frawley, Tickets; E. A. Brown, Music; W. Cokell, Reception; M. O'Hagen and L. Hyman, Decoration. A Wilkes-Barre Booster When you say Wilkes-Barre you hit Vernon Gray’s middle name. Vernon Gray, “Bud,” as he is known to his colleagues, is fast putting Exploitation in Wilkes-Barre on the map and preaching the gospel of Paramount in that territory. He also is a liberal contributor to PEP. “Bud” wears the famous Paramount smile Vernon “Bml” Gray and hangs it on both ears. Coin This One Below is a new one coined by Oscar Kantner, Exploiteer at Atlanta: NATIONALLY ADVERTIZED NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED “IF IT’S A PARAMOUNT PICTURE— IT’S THE BEST SHOW IN TOWN.” Kanter is putting this on all propaganda going out thru the southern district to a telling effect. Cooperative Brain Work ( Continued from page 2) the field, especially the Bookers, have shown that they can play a big part in the saving of costs for this organization, by looking further into distribution problems and comparing them with booking problems.” “It is this interest and loyalty,” continued Mr. Kent, “that makes possible a successful organization.”
