Studio Club Greetings CONGRATULATIONS, vL big brother! The Paramount Studio Club, throughout its existence, has drawn inspiration and guidance from the Pep Club. You have served as model and pathfinder for our younger organization. Your success is, in a sense, our success. So your birthday calls forth our sincere congratulations. Pep-O-Grams is a worthy messenger of the spirit that animates the Pep Club and you have every reason to be proud of it. Although we are separated by the width of the American continent, this magazine brings to us on the West Coast an intimate insight into the busy life of the Home Office and gives us a sense of intimacy that no mere matter of miles can destroy. Again, congratulations on this, your fourth anniversary. Our one regret is that we cannot be with you in person to share the birthday cake. James A. Souter President, Paramount Studio Club, West Coast Studios. GREETINGS and congratulations to Pep-O-Grams, its staff and the Pep Club, sponsors, in behalf of the Paramount Studio Club of the West Coast studios! You have first done something to be “said,” then said it well. Representing all that Paramount means in high standards and achievements, you have not been content until its banner has been pushed even higher. The spirit of your columns voices our own ideals and ambitions towards a perfect unification of every branch of our great organization. Prophetic of the present “sound” reformation in motion pictures, PepO-Grams, with a dignity and flourish, first appeared to give a new voice to Salesmanship, Cooperation and Success. Ever since Pep-O-Grams has been “synchronizing” brilliantly for Paramount — words with action. Our congratulations and best wishes for another successful year. H. E. McCroskey Vice-president, Paramount Studio Club, West Coast Studios. PEP-O-GRAMS— ANNIHILATOR OF DISTANCE By ARCH REEVE West coast director of publicity JA AST airplanes have reduced the travelling time between New York and Los Angeles to less than nineteen hours. But Pep-O-Grams relegates this feat of aviation to the category of covered wagon and primitive steam train records. Once each month this newsy periodical accomplishes the miracle of obliterating all distance between the Home Office and our desk at Paramount’s West Coast studio. Thanks to Pep-O-Grams, our Hollywood contingent enjoys all of the benefits and associations of the New York office without the discomfort of New York heat waves and blizzards (Advt. by Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce). Seriously, the Paramount Pep Club is to be congratulated on its splendid record and the fourth anniversary of Pep-O-Grams offers the Far Westerners of the organization a chance to say “Success and a long life ’ — and mean it.
