Paramount Pep-O-Grams (1927)

Page Ten OUR SOCIETY COLUMN Henrietta l’etchuk of the Accrual Department, gave a bridge party at her home on a recent Tuesday. Due to the last minute rush for spring bonnets, only the following were present: Syd Hacker, Mae Oman, Rose Kirsch and Helen Angell. “Henri” served some delicious refreshments, which were prepared by none other than little “Henri” herself. The girls were surprised to find her so wonderful a cook, and from now on, whenever “Henri”’ invites us for bridge, we’ll be there. — M. K. Ah-h-h! With vacation time drawing nigh, and delicious thoughts of Miami, Cannes, Cyprus, Damascus and the tropic delights of Spitsbergen coursing through one’s mind — how appropriate that our projection-booth reporter, Arthur Bell should send us this clipping. South Sea Idyl He was alone. He stepped softly to the porthole and peered out. All was quiet. An inky blackness met his gaze. As he strained his eyes for the first glimpse of light his patience was rewarded. Slowly a faint glow appeared directly in front of him. Gradually it spread and the sun crept over an island that seemed to be about two miles ahead. Dawn in the tropics. He could almost hear the gentle wash of the waves on the distant beach. He had written so much of the South Sea Islands — and he knew dramaturgy. He watched intently for a few moments, then heaved a sigh of relief. Everything was all right. Suddenly he cursed and turned to the machine at his side. The picture was out of frame again. He was the operator in a movie theatre. Marcel Steinbrugge. P E P-O-G RAMSI WE RETRACT A STATEMENT WITH THE SINCEREST APOLOGIES In our issue of last month we carried a statement concerning Miss Marguerite M. Bourdette.

The information given about me is now erroneous and has been for more than a month. I am neither engaged nor married, nor leaving Paramount Would you be good enough to correct the contribution in your next issue?’’ Again we regret our action, and again we urge all reporters to verify their news before submitting it to the editor, for he, trusting human that he is, accepts all contributions in good faith.
