Paramount Pep-O-Grams (1927)

Page Twelve P E P-O-G RAMS EXPLAINING THE “SAMMY COHEN HERALD” If you are one of the lucky ones, you have received along with your copy of Pep-OGrams, one of the special three-color heralds designed by Sammy Cohen to announce the first birthday anniversary of his son, Teddy Marks Cohen. Sammy, as you all know, was sent abroad by Mr. E. E. Shauer, general manager of the Foreign Department, to be our Ad Sales Manager in Berlin, Germany. In a letter to the editor, written from Berlin on December 5th, Sammy said: '‘Acting on the practical Ad Sales principle that If he’s worth having, he’s worth advertising,’ I have had d herald printed in celebration of my young hopeful’s first birthday anniversary. “Under separate cover I am sending you a batch of these for distribution among the members of the Paramount-Pep Club. “As you can see, I’ve tied him up with the Paramount Trade Mark to cash in ori Paranwunt’s $20,000,000 international adz ’ertising campaign. What could be fairer than that?” THE SAMMY COHEN FAMILY NOW NUMBERS FOUR (By Radio) A happy chapter is added to the above story by Pep’s receipt of a radio despatched from Berlin (Germany) on December 27th, 1927. This radio was sent to Pep-O-Grams, and reads: Old Doc Santy Claus arrived yesterday with Robert Marks Cohen, weight eight pounds. Guess I w III have to print a roto-scction now. Regards. ( sgd .) Sammy. That last mention is with regard to the herald spoken about in the message up top. A roto-section (concerning which they will supply fuller details! in the Ad Sales department), is a highly ornamental fourpage sheet in which naught but prize possessions are set forth, lavishly displayed and printed in expensive inks. Paramount produces them for such delights as “The American Venus,” “Glorifying the American Girl” and a few others of like calibre. But whatever it is, it doesn’t stop Pep-OGrams from issuing to Mr. and Mrs. Sammy Cohen, on behalf of the entire ParamountPep Club, congratulations for their new happiness. NEWS NOISES (BY SIDNEY COHEN) We in the vicinity of 43rd Street and the Hudson River have unanimously agreed that Hell’s Kitchen must have improved wonderfully, judging by the stories we have heard. .For which we offer sincere thanks. Our German cameraman, Bruno Stindt is now safely returned to his own hearth and again grinding the crank. His visit has been educational to us, as our German vocabulary has been considerably augmented. A pleasant afterthought consists of listening in on a combination conversation-GermanFrench-English-entre Herr Bruno and Monsieur A1 Richard. THE “FEEL MY PULSE” BRIGADE R. M. “Dick” Blumenthal is on the sick list, he having spent a great many hours of last week reading novels while under the searching glances of the X-Ray Dick apparatus. Naturally he is a Blumenthal very sick young chap, though the strongest evidence of his being ill is found in the fact that he has not been at his desk for the past ten days. He has a legion of friends wishing desperately hard for his early recovery and speedy return to their midst. THE NEWSGATHERER WRITES. Clara Cappozi is not going to remove her hat at this Club meeting. Last meeting the chapeau was mysteriously lost, and it took the entire hotel detective force to find it. Clara is still puzzled! . . . .We are all glad to have Polly Mahoney and Anna Stumpf back with us. Their auto had a smash-up going home from the last club meeting.... When the male members of the staff cannot find Lawrence Bailey at his desk they don’t mind waiting. The reason — one blonde secretary, complete with dazzling smile, and information on any subject you may mention....Miss Millman used' the Pep Club Meeting as an | opportunity to return to childhood days. She thoroughly enjoyed dancing with Sidney — Uncle Robert’s famous little singer. THE “HELLO” GIRLS. This is our little tribute to the Ladies of the Switchboard, and our assurance to them that although we so seldom see them in person, their excellent service does not pass unnoticed by those whom they so capably serve. They have well and truly placed “Chickering 7050” on the efficiency map of New York. A cameraman’s lot is certainly an enviable one. Can one imagine anything more joyful than an order insisting that one prepare for immediate transfer to Miami and points, South, to stay in that clime through^ out the bleak winter months? But on the other hand, just picture yourself commanded to board one of the small Coast Guard Cutters for a sojourn out on the cool wavy Atlantic these days. Such is life. Take the good with the bad. Rumor has it that some of the boys in the Paramount News Building intend forming a bowling team in order to have a practice game with the Pep-Club team. There is also talk of a pool team.
