P E P-O-G RAMS Page Seven SOMETHING A LOSER CAN GET Whatever else was lost during the Club Outing at Indian Point last month we didn't hear about: but if the losers of a string of pearls and one cuff link will inquire at Room 1250, they can re, gain their property. In accordance with the best ethics of this modern civilization, it will be necessary for the losers to prove in a practical fashion that they really were the losers. In other words, they shall have to identify the articles. PEPERSONALITIES MARIE DUNN, who prior to leaving Paramount for another affiliation a few years ago was private secretary to Foreign Publicity Director O. R. Geyer, is back with Paramount as private secretary to Division Manager John D. Clark. Marie’s popularity has remained undimmed during her absence from Paramount, as has been evidenced by the pleasure of her friends at her return. CHARLES ALNWYCK, for some considerable time in charge of Paramount's mailing room, has been promoted by Office i Manager Joseph McLoughlin to be a member of William “Bill” O’Connell's Dept. RANDOLPH ROGERS GOES SOUTH AND NORTH TO THE WEST COAST The delightful practice of going to Paramount’s West Coast Studios via the Panama Canal, has another ardent devotee in Randolph Rogers, private secretary to Mr. Lasky. Randolph was a June voyager on the President Garfield, and paid pleasant calls at Havana and Panama, reaching Los Angeles in just fourteen days from New York. Though he missed the Parmlee bus transfer at Chicago, and the vista of mules and cactus in Arizona, Randolph says that i he was amply compensated by the coolness of Cuba, the calmness of the Caribbean, the picturesqueness of Panama and the placidity of the Pacific.

HEARING SOUNDS Two twenty-four-hours-a-day Paramounteers who didn’t know that the world held so many melodies, so many sounds, and so many varieties of ways of linking them to motion pictures, are Morris Press and Larry Kent, of Publix. These two Pepsters. members of a band of Paramounteers who are making 1928 into an epochal year in the history of Sound Pictures, now only have time to go home on vacations — and they are not taking vacations. TINKLE. TINKLE! Sara Lyons says that now that Dick Blumenthal has sailed away from this country, she has no further use for the telephone in her office, as no one else will bother her about prints. So she contemplates either having the ’phone removed, or leaving it as an ornament. BACK FROM VACATION Ann J. LeViness, private secretary to Mr. E. E. Shauer, has returned from a wellmerited vacation. During her absence, the secretarial work of the Leader of Paramount’s Foreign Legion was most capably done by Tess Sternberger. WHY? An intelligent man will drive a big car through the crowded streets of a busy city and still keep one eye on a pretty girl ’way over on the side walk, and, with but one eye working, he will escape a collision; but when this man drives his car out in the wide, open country, he sometimes fails to see a locomotive as big as a schoolhouse — a tremendous engine thundering along, blowing its whistle and ringing its bell. Out where there is nothing to distract him, he may fail to see or hear an engine that is hauling ten flat-wheel flat-cars, twenty stock cars loaded with squealing pigs, and twenty more grinding squeaking gondolas filled with soft coal. Now, why is this? — Tlle silent Partner.
