P E P-O-G RAMS Page Eleven ACROSS THE SEA IN ITALY This photograph is reprinted from the April issue of Paramount Around the World, the international organ of the Paramount Foreign Department. It shows her many friends in Home Office the new staff of Paramounteers among whom Miss Ray Deligtisch has made herself so happy during her music studies in sunny Italy. The staff is that of the Milan office, and Miss I] Deligtisch is standing in the front row at the right. (Note. Although she has not mentioned it through the channels of PepjO-Grams, we know that she would be very happy to receive a little note from her friends in Home Office who have not been i writing her. Address her c/o S. A. I. Films Paramount, Via Morgagni 22, Milan, Italy.) — “—SO I WENT TO A DOCTOR” One of the niftiest and most unusual beginnings ever given to a short story is to be found in the celebrated O. Henry story entitled “Peel My Pulse.” This story’s opening sentence is: “So I went to a doctor.” Volumes of action and happening could have been written before that sentence, but they were not necessary. The sentence told everything. We are quoting it here for a very pertinent . reason: and that reason is adequately symbolised by our incomparable Medical and Welfare Department, so ably administered by Dr. Stern. And this fact is again called to your attention, for in the lives of all of us there comes that time when, in telling of it. we preface our remarks by saying: “So I 1 went to the doctor.” NOUS SOUHAITONS LA BIENVENUE A M. MELVILLE A. SHAUER C’est avec tin sentiment des plus sinceres que nous souhaitons la bienvenue a notre bien-aimc membre et ex-President, M. Melville A. Shauer. Bien que nous connaissions les merveilleux travaux que vous avez accomplit pour la Paramount, sur les rives opposees de l’Atlantique, nous vous avons beaucoup manque. C’est pour cela que nous etions si heureux de voir “L’lle de France aborder Jeudi dernier, vous ramenant parnti nous. (Signe.) Les Membres du Paramount Pep Club. One person who certainly did not miss the Ball was Sadye, darling of the film rental department, who won a ticket to said affair? The little enchantress picked the winning number herself. Incidentally, Sadye is said to be a double for Clara Bow. She has plenty of IT, judging from reports. Inniss Atwell, embryonic Paderewski, formerly of the Film Rental has left this department for one more suited to his intellectual ability. Such a genius! Maxine’s rendition of the Merry Widow waltz was certainly one of the worth while features of a recent Meeting-Dance. There is something remarkable about Miss Kessler’s infinite grace and ease of movement, and she should go far in the dancing game. SERIOUSLY ILL William Gold, of Miss Swayne’s department, is reported to be seriously ill. ( lub members are hoping very earnestly for his early and complete recovery; and the number of inquiries concerning his health are legion, for Bill happens to be a very popular fellow.
