Paramount Pep-O-Grams (1927)

Page Four P E P-O-G RAMS HEADING THE HONOR ROLL IRENE F. SCOTT, EDUCATIONAL COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN, REPORTS “PROGRESS!” Educational announcements are more or less scarce and flimsy these days. To anyone who is interested there is a dancing school run by one Arthur Murray at 3 East 43rd Street. 1 don’t know anything about this school nor do I make any recommendation, I am simply passing the information on for what it may be worth and leaving any judgment to the individuals who may be interested. The Rugby School is a prep school about which I am not informed beyond the fact that it has branches at 525 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn and 451 Sutter Avenue, Brooklyn. The information I gathered from blotters which have been sent to me. The Central Branch Y. M. C. A. periodically calls my attention to its courses of instruction and free lectures which I should think would interest a good many. AFTER THE BALL WAS OVER! We present herewith an exclusive picture of Paramount Pep Club as “llr a result of the success of the Ball at the Aster, and mainly as a result of the whole-hearted co-operation of so many Pepsters in the interests of this vital event. THE PICTURE PARADE By Martin Carroll “Heave to,” yelled the captain of Old Ironsides, smoothing his Red Hair, for he knew that The Secret Hour had arrived, and that meant The Showdown. It looked like Doomsday because High Treason had caused the spreading of The Dragnet. As he called, the Speedy Sunset Legion loomed up, showing him that although he was Adventure Mad, Something Always Happens to The Legion of the Condemned. He picked up his binoculars which showed him the Three Sinners. It was Easy Come, Easy Go for the captain that day, as he | turned in the opposite direction to look at | the Paramount Trade Mark. DEEPEST REGRETS To Mr. Elek J. Ludvigh, Secretary of Paramount Famous Lasky Corporation, the Paramount Pep Club as a unit expressed deepest sympathy on the occasion of his recent sad bereavement. Mr. Ludvigh’s sister, Miss Clara Ludvigh, died in London last month, and the regrets of the Club were sent to our Organization’s Secretary in a letter from our Club’s president. Mr. Trotta has since received acknowledgment from Mr. Ludvigh. Sara Lyons started in selling tickets at such a pace that for a while it looked as . though we would have to rent the YHnkee Stadium for the Ball instead of the Hotel Astor. And if there had been many more like Sara, we might have had to lease the State of Maryland or Rhode Island for the big event. At all events, Sara did wonderful work and gets her picture in Pep-' O-Grams, together with the heartfelt thanks of the Club Members. REAL REAL ESTATE WORK Headed by Theodore C. Young, the Real Estate Department did marvelous work in contributing to the success of the Ball. Their receipts for tickets and boxes went mighty close to the four-figure mark, and that, as all Club members agree, is spiffingly fine work. Oh (hat all other departments could have responded in this pep-filled fashion. THIRD ON THE LIST Deserving of par eticular mention for his ticket-selling zeal in the interests cf Brown, Treasurer of the Company. Eddie ranks third on the j total calling for comf pliments and con gratulations from all other members. As a popular song of yester year said, “Very good Eddie.” PUBLIX SERVICE BY MEMBERS OF THE RECEPTION COMMITTEE Not only zvere there Publix ushers from i the Paramount. Rialto and Rivoli theatres to conduct box-holders to their respective boxes at the Ball, but the members of the Reception | Committee demonstrated hozv thoroughly the Publix ideals have permeated the organisation by giving such a display of courtesy and consideration to arriving guests that they were put at their ease right azvay.

Saveli and Joseph Phillipson .
