Paramount Pep-O-Grams (1927)

P E P-O-G RAMS Page Seven JOHN’S COME UP FROM PANAMA John B. Nathan, Paramo u n t Pep Club member who for the past few years has been assistant to Harr y N o v a k in the administration of the Paramount interests in Panama, Colombia, Venezuela a n d other Central American territories is in New York for a few weeks enjoying a very merited vacation. John is an inveterate traveller and a born descriptionist, and his accounts of such thrills as a thousand mile trip up the jungle-banked Orinoco River, or the journey up the Andes of Ecuador to the seldom visited city of Quito, make mighty fine reading. All of these trips — and there have been many of them — have been made for the furtherance of the business of Paramount’s Foreign Legion, and all of them have been not only highly successful, but have been tinged with unique sales experiences. SOME MORE MEMBERSHIP CARDS HAVE BEEN SIGNED At the last general meeting of the Paramount Pep Club the following Paramounteers were proposed for membership by William Goldstein, Chairman of the Membership Committee, and accepted into the ever-swelling ranks of our Club : Shirley Berkowitz, Minnie B 1 i t z e r , George Bressler, Marie E.

IRONIC S By Frank Irving Fletcher in The New York Herald Tribune Some day somebody is going to discover that the man who earns an honest living, pays his bills, keeps his word, and is good to his family, is also a success! You don’t have to be worth a million to be worth while. SALVATION ARMY APPEAL ( Continued from Page 2) member who contributed his or her share to this imposing total. The committee responsible comprised the following: Helen Swayne and Rose Goldstein raked the twelfth floor, Sydelle Newman performed a similar mission on the eleventh floor; Ihe tenth floor contributed handsomely after hearing the sales talk of Sophie Singerman; on the ninth floor the cash zuas collected with Publix Service — and Janes Stubbs; Sally Walton left no possibility untouched on the eighth floor; Helen Rosenfeld collected with legal precision on the seventh, and Lenora Korenstein saw to it that although the sixth floor is the lowermost in our part of the building, it would come near the top in collections. Over at the Paramount News Laboratory the I’s of the World became the Me’s when asked for contributions by Julia Wine: and down at the Storehouse Catherine Lufrane proved that she didn’t have to have a requisition, to secure a contribution from every Popster there. IN THE LINE OF SPORTS The Poster Art Department is rejoicing over the arrival of the new Base Ball Prodigy for the team, Master Walter A. Hanneman Jr. born on the 31st day of May 1928. Mr. Walter Sr. said that with Walter Jr. pitching and Wee Willie Stranders catching, they would strike Babe Ruth out every time on three pitched ball. SALVATION ARMY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR SPLENDID WORK By VINCENT TROTTA President, Paramount-Pep Club When the annual appeal of the Salvation Army was first heeded by the Paramount Pep Club, it was confidently believed that the Pepsters would respond in their customary generous fashion. But this year the ‘customary generous fashion’ gave way to a fierce enthusiasm which resulted in a new and splendid record for collections being established. It hardly needs these lines to assure you that the money collected will be put to a use which is one hundred percent, practical; and there will be literally hundreds of drifting souls in this great metropolis whoi will thank you all with a sincerity which cannot be measured in cold hard words. On behalf of the Club I want to deeply and sincerely thank every member who contributed to the fund; and also to thank the wonderfully inspiring committee of ladies who campaigned the collection, and whose names are set forth in another part of this issue.
