Paramount Pep-O-Grams (1927)

Page Six P E P-O-G RAMS SEEN AND HEARD BY THE REPORTING ROVER Jerry Sussman gladhanding the ad sales boys and bidding them “au’voir” on the occasion of his becoming a member of Mr. Shauer’s foreign department .... Donald L. Velde telegraphing a stack of Scotch-OGrams entries to Judge. .. .“Bob” Powers doing his share in the securing of entertainment for the officers and men of H.M.A.S. “Australia” during the ship's recent New York visit .... Matilda Kass displaying a very marked and excited interest in a certain heavily-figured section of each and every newspaper BUDGET NEWS ( Continued from page 4) Charlie Schabacker is the banker of the Department. Whenever the girls need checks they always go to him — and get them • — providing they pay cash for them! Our “sheik,” Maurice Frommer, gave the girls a treat when he displayed a picture of himself in a bathing suit. Real nifty, donchano ! Irving Singer threatened to wear his bathing suit to the office, but luckily decided not to. What a display he would have provided to those who think he’s an Apollo! Ann Graham misses her side kick, Katherine Janz, who is away on her vacation. Don’t worry, Ann, she’ll be back before you know it. Nick Devereaux came back from his vacation proudly exhibiting a “ten cent” watch. He had invested the dime in something or other up at Lake George and won the watch, which is now seen at fifteen minute intervals, and is, by the way, the envy of the entire department. THE INAUGURAL DINNER In just four short weeks from now, the grand ballroom of the Astor Hotel will again know the sensation which comes from the presence of the thronging Paramount Pepsters, gathered there to pay tribute to one retiring administration of the Club and to acclaim the new administration. October 9th is the night, and in a manner befitting the occasion there will be laid before the members of the Club a sumptuous dinner and a program of unexcelled entertainment. W e do not have to rhapsodize on the general excellence of this annual event of the Paramount-Pep Club. It is the Club’s birthday anniversary, and is invariably celebrated in a fashion wholly and wholesomely befitting that occasion. With but this one exception — every year the event becomes more sparkling and more spontaneously delightful. THE ANNIVERSARY ISSUE To mark the Inaugural Dinner of the Paramount-Pep Club it is the custom of Pep-O-Grams to appear in a considerably enlarged number. This year being no exception, it is herewith announced that the Anniversary Number for this year is now “in the works.” A great many well known Paramount writers have been invited to contribute items of technical and general importance, and in every other way possible it is the aim of the editorial staff to make the October 9th issue of Pep-O-Grams the most readable to date. This scribe knows most of the Pepsters by sight, but not by name. He thinks it would be great if they had a tag on their desks, or dresses, because then he’d be able to mention quite a lot of things seen and heard However, all’s well that’s not too deep; so let’s give you the news that we know.... For instance, we want to pay compliment to the work of the Stenographic Department, so ably conducted by Miss I. Korenstein. Located on the sixth floor, slap-bang up against that month-in-month-out drilling on 44th Street, they have a grand standard of efficiency, producing work with an expedition which cannot help but please those who have entrusted the work to them.... Pursuing our travels we have seen the following items of interest: a couple of Paramounteers seeking passes from Peggy Mahoney, secretary to the Publix publicity director, Russell Moon and being negatived with a charm which makes even a "No” a sheer delight .... Lou Diamond, as chairman of the Entertainment Committee, up to his Eyes of the World in the plans for the Inaugural Dinner .... William J. O’Connell being assailed with “heap big requests” for files, desks, garages, buildings, islands and even one or two requests for Africa and the western portion of Asia.... John B. Nathan saying adieus before sailing for Cuba to assume the post of special representative of the Foreign Department.... Lou Diamond
