Paramount Pep-O-Grams (1927)

Fage Four P E P-O-G RAMS CONGRATULATIONS TO PARAMOUNT’S LONG SERVICE BRIGADE For reasons which escape the mental processes of those responsible for the production of this magazine, the Pepsters who should have come proudly forward and announced the great length of service they have had with the company, have stayed strangely in the background. But there are more ways of finding out things than by merely asking; so we summoned our sleuths and detailed our detectives. That’s how we have been enabled to learn that Sadie Spitzer, who is known throughout the ranks of the organization because of her super-efficiency as secretary to G. B. J. Frawley, does this month complete the eleventh year of her service with Paramount. She’s proud of that service: and we are happy to congratulate Sadie because of it. Sadie Spitzer Another one who broke down and confessed under the gruelling cross-examination of our detectives was Charles E. Gartner, assistant manager of the Foreign Publicity Department. Under the merciless cross-fire of questioning he admitted that he will complete the 12th year of his Paramount service on June 1st, though he did finally add that a year and a half of this twelve was spent with the Allied forces. Daisy Weiss entered upon her tenth year with Paramount on March 3rd last, and considering what a youthful person she is, her friends are of the opinion that Miss Weiss must have been just a baby when she became a Paramounteer. BACK WITH A NEW NAME Mrs. Jacobs (nee Irene Lipman) is back at her desk in Joseph Sweeney’s department, and of course the popular question is — “How does it feel to be called Mrs. Jacobs?” THE MOST RECENT CABINET MEETING The Committee Chairmen of the Club gathered together in the Law Library on February 16th to discuss the Ball. President Vincent Trotta presided, and the indications were given forth that so far as the Committee Chairmen are concerned, the Ball is going to be a success. Subsequently the Advertising, Publicity and Souvenir Committee gathered at a little informal meeting, and put into ‘the works’ a bunch of additional plans to make this Paramount-Pep Club Ball one of the most unique in the annals of Broadway. It’s up to the members now! POPULAR PARAMOUNTEER MARRIED One of the most prominent of the early February society weddings in New York zvas that of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Jarvis Cushing. A foremost member of the Home Office Department of Distribution, Mr. Cushing has been very popular with the Club members since joining the organisation a year ago. Mrs. Cushing was formerly Miss Barbara Brokaw, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Irving Brokaz v of New York. Our scene of the happy couple has been reproduced for a recent issue of the roto section of The New York Times. GETTING THE LOW DOWN ON THE HIGH NOTES Helen Strauss, who was secretary of the Paramount-Pep Club under the Presidency of Joseph McLoughlin, is getting a lot of insights into the practical side of singing, dancing and stage presentation in her capacity as secretary to Mr. Cowan, who has charge of audiHELEN STRAUS'tions and engagements of prospective performers in Publix presentations. She will undoubtedly be identified with quite a lot of the work of supplying the entertainment for the Club’s Movie Ball on March 23rd. THE GLAD HAND IS OUT TO THESE NEW CLUB MEMBERS Membership Committee Chairman William Goldstein announces that the following members were received into the Club’s ranks at the general meeting held at the Roosevelt Hotel on February 14th: G. Darwin Andrews, Paul Broderick, Mary Canavan, Yorma V. Davis, Tina Gurvey, Richard Halliday, Lonora Korenstein, Lester Miller, Al. Moquin, Robert C. Moriarty, Louis Phillips, Harry Rappaport, Benjamin Segal, I. H. Shain, Helen Walz, Marion Zimmermann. May their stay with us at least equal the pleasure we feel in having them with us.
