Sii])lime Tribute “The House That Shadows Built” is a biography Ijy W'ill Irwin. It is also the life story of our beloved Honorary President, Adolph Zukor, and it parallels this story with the rise of the motion picture industry, showing not only the greatness of Mr. Zukor as a man and as a leader, but also the immortal truth that it was he who led the industry up from its lowly beginning to its present height of world importance. The book is a supremely inspiring piece of reading, and it is tinged throughout with items of news and interest which are personal matters of fact with all of us. No Pepster should allow this book to pass unread, if for no other fact than that it takes its name from the very edifice in which we all work and carve out our destinies — The Paramount Building — “The House That Shadows Built.” *** Cooperative Buying We have devoted some space in this issue to urging you to make full use of your Cooperative Buying Committee. This I)unch of ever-willing workers are devoting a tremendous amount of their own time and energy towards effecting savings and short cuts for your purses and pockets. They are worthy of your attentions as well as your praise, for whether you make use of their offers or not they have still to put in just about the same amount of work. You slioidd not really require any urging to avail yourself of their services, for some of the reductions which they are able to effect make the power of Aladdin's lamp fade away by comparison. *** News Items The standard of news items contributed to this issue is the highest it has been in years. Pithy facts, apparently free from malice or sting, concisely stated. Here’s hoping — and believing — the good work will continue.
