jiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii min iimimiliiiilliiiiiiiillillillliliiiillllllillllllilliiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit: THE CROSSROADS OF CROSSROADS IS THE PARAMOUNT HOLLYWOOD STUDIO The Foreign Department’s representative on the lot, George N. Kates, upon being apprised of the Anniversary number of Pep-O-Grams, sent the following message: .Tiiiiiiitiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit "IVe have had a busy four months establishing the Foreign Department’s latest outpost on the moving picture frontier; but, thanks to the fine cooperation of everybody here on the lot, we now are completely settled, and are one of the most active offices in the studio. “And when I use the word active, I mean it! In a single morning zve can look back and see that there have been such tasks as visiting Japanese professors of psychology to guide around the stages and to photograph with posters of Adolph Menjou and Clara Bow, French taxicabs to pronounce correct or the reverse, English mail boxes to verify for correctness, Cretan youths and maidens to be dressed prop erly before entering their labyrinth, and, just for variety, a few housekeeping details in England or a little extra restaurant service in France to put straight. "And while these things are going on, assistant directors may rush in to ask what flags to fly over war time New York in 1917 — or Abyssinian forts in 1884, — whether people play checkers in Paris, or what the fare from Paris to Cherbourg by taxicab would run to — but what’s the use of describing the details of this colorful life ? If Times Square ever seems dull from your office windows, come out and let us welcome you at the Foreign Department’s office here.” llllll'llllllllllllllllinMllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllli:IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIinillMIMIIIIIIIIi:MlllllllillllMIIIIIIIMI|l!IIIIIIIIIIMIlllMlllllllllllli:illllllllllllllllllll TREVOR FAULKNER, MANAGER OF THE FILM DEPOT, VISUALIZES HUMAN PERFECTION IIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIItllllllMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIr WHAT A MAN I WOULD BE If I had The vision of Adolph Zukor, The straight thinking and leadership of S.

PARAMOUNT’S TOWER WINS A 111 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 M 1 1 1 II IIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIimilu PLACE IN THIS BOOK iiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiii'iiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiili!iiiiniir= Ever since a veracious friend told of seeing the Paramount Tower from Buffalo we have been a booster for this “ Eyrie of Eye-filling Encompassment.” We think that the Paramounteer who unblushingly confesses to not having visited the Paramount Tower should be towed on a fishing line from the Battery to Sandy Hook and back during the middle of January, and then made to walk Broadway to Yonkers. The Paramount Tower should be a point of Paramount pride with all of us. It dominates Times Square — The Crossroads of the World — and in its dominance it offers a panorama of surpassing beauty. Every Paramounteer should visit it: and should see to it that his, or her, friends do not pass up what is one of the finest treats that New York has to offer — And must zve again remind you that it’s free to members? iiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimMimmmiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiMiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiimiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii^ 1 MENTION. We think that more Club members have had mention in this par 1 § ticular issue of Pep-O-Grams than in any other issue to date. This proves above f 1 all else that ‘it can be done!’ — that it is possible for Pep-O-Grams to get the news. 1 1 Well, henceforth every issue is going to be an Anniversary Number — it will mark f 1 the anniversary of the issue of the same month of the preceding year — and the f | new editorial staff is herewith advised of the fact. So when you make your f | New Year resolutions (tonight, which is the New Year’s Eve of the new Para | 1 mount-Pep Club year), be sure and include the resolution of contributing regularly § | to Pep-O-Grams. mu mu PEP-O-GRAMS Page Thirty-two
