Page Eight P E P-O-G RAMS THREE PEPPY GIRLS ARE WE! R a in b 1 i n g through the Pep files of photos for the past 8 years (and oh what we won’t print one of these days when we get into that devil-maycare mood), we encountered this photo. It bore the photographer’s date of October 1 9 2 6, which in the feminine way of reckoning means last week. But principally it bore the likenesses of three very popular Pepsters. At the left is Margaret Russell, ever-efficient secretary to Advertising Manager Russell Holman; at the right” is Tess Klausner, the film industry’s foremost authority on stills; and in the center is Kathlyn O Connor, of the Paiamount Filing Department. GREETINGS TO A PEPPY BUNCH OF NEW PEPSTERS The following Paramounteers were admitted to membership in the Paramount Pep-Club at last month’s meeting-dance at the Hotel McAlpin: Margaret Arthur, Ellen Bailey, Billy Baker, John F. Barry, John Bellucci, James R. Boyle, William Enes, Romeo Fabrizio, Michael Gaudiosi, Mary Jakimowitz, Lucille Levy, Leo Pillot, James Robinson, Charlotte Schlauch, Fanny C. Shwartz, Joseph Sparti, Blanche Unger, Frank \ entre, May Weisberg and Lucille White. Here’s knowing that they are going to have a mighty pleasant time with the Club, and that they are going to still further brighten the Club with their peppiness and enthusiasm. A NOTE OF THANKS The editor is in receipt of the following little token of gratitude expressed to Pep Club members: “Miss Caldwell wishes to thank her Paramount-Pep Club friends for the beautiful flowers sent to her during her recent illness.” First Stenog — “ Did you observe Fire Prevention Week?" Second Stenog — “Yes, I got into the office earlier ; the boss tc 'as getting sore.’ When you zeake up at daivn and can't go to sleep again, it's a sure sign that it s a holiday. We take the following article front the pages of “ The Silent Partner,” a business publication, unreservedly and without comment. But j if you wish to make comment, we shall gladly open up a controversial column for that purpose in Pep-O-Grams. Personal Telephone Calls EVERY employee is entitled to a connection with the outside world. Personal tele / phone calls are sometimes necessary and should not be ruled against, so long as this j personal convenience does not interfere too much with the regular order of regular busi ll ness. But when a customer calls two or three | times and then gets this response: “ The line j| is busy,” that patron becomes impatient, and, when we are out of patience, we are not in 1 possession of common sense, and of course our impatience turns to impertinence or im ( pudence, and that is bad — bad for business. Suppose you should speak to a salesperson and that salesperson should say: "I’m busy ,j now,” or say: “I’ll take care of you after / get through -visiting with my sweetheart,” holy « mackerel ! how you would howl ! 1'he public is educated up to the idea of | prompt service, and is not willing to wait for / Susie to tell Nellie all about everything. It is not interfering with personal rights to discourage social telephone calls during business hours — it is inaugurating a plan to pro ■ tect the interests of the business that must be maintained — a door must be kept open else customers will call elsewhere.

Honest Confession “Well,” concluded the apartment house manager, “you say you have no children, phon f ograph or radio, and you don’t keep a dog. | You seem to be just the quiet tenant the I owner insists on.” The prospective tenant smiled grimly. "I } don’t want to hide anything from you,” he | said. “You might tell the owner that my fountain pen squeaks a bit.”
