Paramount Pep-O-Grams (1927)

Page Seven P E P-O-G RAMS ! MELVILLE A. SHAUER ASSUMES VITAL POST IN PARIS Sentiments of regret at having him stationed across the Atlantic in Europe, and gladness at this new phase of his Paramount success, will mark the departure of Melville A. Shauer for Europe by the Leviathan. Mel, now permanently a member of Paramount’s Foreign Department, goes to Paris to assume a vitally important post there. This post will bring him into the closest possible touch with film and theatre conditions throughout Europe, and the work that he will do will be of inestimable value to the Company’s progress. Mrs. Shauer and their son Kenneth will sail with him on the Leviathan on May 26th and will take up their residence in Paris. AT ms DESK AGAIN Restored to splendid health again, his recovery undoubtedly hastened by the endless chain of friendly letters which reached him during his convalescence, R. M. ’’Dick” Blumenthal is once ■more at his desk on the tenth floor of the Paramount Building, functioning in his capacity as assistant to Mr. Seidelman, assistant manager of Paramount’s Foreign Department. Dick has been for three and a half weeks at the famous Battle Creek Sanitarium; and if you want to learn all about the place, and the treatments and etceteras to which you are treated out there — why, the simplest way in the world is to go right out there yourself and get the information first hand You won’t hear it from Dick. You will, however, get from him many words of gratitude for the kindness of many Pepsters in keeping in touch with him, and for the kind wishes of all who are glad to see him back once more. FASHION NOTE. Anne J. LeViness of ' the Foreign Department received a very beautiful “Coolie” coat all the wav from Japan recently. She has remodelled it for the benefit of the 10th Floor, and certainly looks more than pretty in it. MISLEADING. The Foreign Traffic Department has acquired quite an efficient staff. Including an addition we overlooked. The new member in its ranks is known as “Becky.” “Becky” is the other half of Frank Schreiber’s “WE!” Wait a moment . folks. Belle Jones wishes to state that she thinks “Becky” smells bad. Miss Jones by the way is the dazzling red-head in the same office. Must be jealousy Becky isn’t much to look at but she sure can produce results. Sorry to say she had an accident the other day. Her rear spindle broke. She is coming along fine now, however. Thanks! Oh yes, pardon me for not mentioning it before. Don’t get nervous, nothing wrong. Becky is the Ditto Machine.— T. S. CLAUSEN’S BIG PART IN THE SUCCESS OF THE BALL Late news is always sincere! It has to be good news about an event that gets printed long after the event is over. That’s why we are printing this item about Carl Clausen: it’s a good item! Carl was responsible for all monies from the sale of tickets and boxes at the Paramount Pep Club Ball. This was not only a mighty responsible job; it was one which required precise and expert handling in order that there might be instant reference to progress, and in order that there might be no bothersome recheckings. Carl did all of this work so splendidly that we hereby are mighty pleased to convey to him the thanks of the entire membership of the Paramount-Pep Club for a job of work which reflected most decisively in the success of the Ball. RAY KEENAN IS NEW CHAIRMAN OF ATHLETIC COMMITTEE Ray Keenan, one of the best known and best liked of Edward A. Brown’s Cashier’s Department, is the new chairman of the Paramount-Pep Club’s Athletic Committee, having been elected to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Ray L. Pratt. Keenan has done an exceptional amount of fine work to advance the status of the Club’s athletics, and we feel that approval is general in ihis selection to fill the post of chairman. SUMMER OUTING WAS ANNOUNCED AT LAST GENERAL MEETING Owing to occurring so soon after the Ball at the Astor, the April general meeting of the Club was held in the “well” on the 11th floor, and as there was neither dancing nor music, the natural small attendance resulted. It so chanced that this meeting clashed with a Board of Governors meeting on another floor, with the consequent ab( Continued on Page 12) Mel Shauer
