Paramount Pep-O-Grams (1927)

PARAMOUNT’S MELODY MAKERS. Here is the latest picture of the new Paramount-Pep Club Orchestra which, under the leadership of George Dublin, has been so splendid a contributor to the enjoyment of the several Club Dances during the past year. The personnel of the Orchestra, reading from left to right, is as follows: John Knoll, Everett Basset, Frank McGuire, Cy Partnoy, A1 Selymes, Ray Eckerson, Joe Agro, Alfred Petersen, Fred S. Stederoth, Abe Dublin and George Dublin. LADIES OF THE SWITCH Somehow or other it doesn’t seem quite right that an Anniversary Issue of Pep-OGrams should go to press without containing some individual mention of those splendid girls behind the scene — the switchboard operators who maintain the lines of communication between the Paramount Building at the Crossroads of the World and the remainder of the world. Their names of course appear in the roster of membership, but we want them in a little niche all | by themselves. Here they are: Catherine E. Miner (Chief Operator), Kathleen M. Madigan, Helen M. Malone, Mae J. O’Neill, Emilie C. Mitlehner, Agnes V. Peters, Loretta A. Schauder, Florence Flynn, Dorothy Foster, Alice Gottschalk, Jean M. Schumm. PUNCH OF AUSTRALIA GREETS PEP OF NEW YORK Dear Pepsters: The girls and boys of the Paramount Punch Club of Australia send to all of you j members of the Paramount — Pep Club of J New York our heartiest congratulations for the wonderful progress your Club has made during the past year. Wishing you further success in the coming year. H. Stanley, Hon. Secretary ENGAGEMENT Mr. J. J. Wildberg of the Publix Legal Department who has been active in the work of the Rules Committee of the Club, recently announced his engagement and will j be married sometime in December. I want to express my appreciation to Miss Brina Kaplan, Miss Beatrice Ottenant, Mr. Louis Burlon and Mr. Harold Jaffe for their assistance which was willingly rendered the Membership Committee. William Goldstein, Chairman PUBLICITY COMMITTEE Harold Flavin, Chairman The outstanding' contribution of the Publicity Committee for the past year was the Paramount-Pep Club Program gotten up in connection with the annual ball. This program was unique in that it contained, in addition to the usual stereotype text matter, a series of articles contributed by the motion picture critics of the New York newspapers, some humorous, others in a serious vein, but all describing a phase of the ball. This Progam won the commendation of many outside our organization. BULLETIN BOARD COMMITTEE Francis Finan, Chairman It is the pleasure of this Committee to report that a rather extensive amount of publicity material, handed into its care during the year, has been given wide and consistent display on the various bulletin boards throughout the Paramount organization’s offices and reception rooms. This Committee has also attended to the distribution of a great many of the half-rate concession tickets to Broadway plays; and also in the matter of distribution it has seen to it that the monthly issue of Pep-O-Grams has speedily reached the Club members. FINANCE COMMITTEE Joseph A. Walsh, Chairman The members of a Finance Committee, and this applies especially to our organization, must possess one outstanding qualification. They must be liaral boiled. We have tried hard to be just that. During the past year the Finance Committee has kept closely in touch with every item of income and expense. Any outlay of the club's money has been analyzed and audited before payment was made. The efforts of the Finance Committee would have been wasted if it hadn’t been for the cooperation received from your treasurer. We do not hesitate in saying that if all future administrations are as fortunate in their choice of treasurer as this past one has been, they will indeed be fortunate. In Arthur Leonard the Pep Club had one of the most conscientious and efficient treasurers in tlie history of the club, and he did much to make our work easy. This cooperation extended throughout the entire organization and we take this means of expressing our appreciation. It was an honor to serve under the past administration. PEP-O-GRAMS Page Fifty
