NO REPORTERS NAMED Our sole reason for not carr3'ing the names of the Pep-O-Grams reporters in the new volume of your magazine is this: in the past a number of reporters have naturally and modestly refrained from having any mention of themselves in the news columns because of the fact that it might have appeared as though they were lacking in modesty. Now, however, by virtue of remaining anonymous in the matter of providing the news, it will be possible for them to actually, and deservedly, figure in the news itself. We are confident that this is a happier state of affairs. A SUPERB THEATRE We most sincerely hope that the Brooklyn Pepsters are fully cognizant of the beauty, the significance and the majestic dominance of the lavish new Brooklyn Paramount Theatre which our organization has given to the largest of the boroughs of the City of New York. This scintillating film pagoda, officially dedicated to the public on November 24th, is something we should all be surpassingly proud of, and a creation whose fame we should spread to the utmost limits of our capabilities. Will Rogers Thinks Football a Nuisance Like Politics To the Editor of The Nezv York Times: Today, Saturday, minds are not on politics, they are not on national affairs, they are on football. Did 3’ou know that football is becoming about as big a nuisance as politics? Millions of football fans are going to football games this afternoon. Mind you, I think it’s a great thing. You spend all these years playing football and then you go through life waiting for somebody to give you a signal. Yours, WILL ROGERS. New York, Nov. 23. FOOTLIGHTS FA V O R ITE HAS REMAINED HIDDEN TOO LONG IN OUR MIDST A special representative of our research department, operating in the Pelham district, has discovered the local theatregoers being thrilled and charmed by a Paramounteer of whose acting ability we have been too long ignorant. This operative, attending the presentation of a comedy in Pelham’s leading o])era house, was more than casually amazed to find the leading feminine role being played by Dorothy McLean, of Office Manager McLoughlin’s department. And a right smart job she made of it, reporte<l our operative. Our congratulations to Miss McLean. Nezo Office Boy: Tz'e added those figures up ten times, sir. Sales Manager: Good hoy! N. 0. B.: Ond here are the ten anszoers, sir. — Sales Talk IRONICS Frank Irving Fletcher in the New York Herald Tribune Most of us think hackzvard instead of forzvard, citing the opportunities zve have missed instead of sighting those that are coming. The only zvay to make motley out of your recollections is to zvrite a hook. MEL. SHAUER COMING FROM PARIS ON BRIEF VISIT The gang are getting all set for a riotous welcome to Melville A. Shauer, past president of the ParamountPep Club, when he steps from the French liner “Paris” on December 17th. Mel is paying a periodic visit to New York as part of his routine as special representative of the Foreign Department in Europe. A BEUTE(FUL) BIRTHDAY At a luncheon tendered to Mr. C. A. Beute on November 21st, (his 46th Birthday) the boys in the Auditing Department presented him with a verj" old violin as a tribute to his musical genius. In the course of his witty speech of thanks he expressed a keen desire to meet the donor of one small useful gift wrapped most carefully in eleven boxes. WITH THE PUBLIX BOOKERS George Haupert is knowm as the LkS.A. boy (LTnusual sex appeal). Oh Sex Appeal! What crimes are committed in thy name! We have a song bird in our midst — Dave Samuelson. Dave usual!)' bursts into a soulful ballad around three o’clock every afternoon. It is a known fact, however, that the Booking Department has no ear for music. Eddie Berger, the sheik of the department still reigns supreme — and in these days of Revolutions! Even the slow progress of that bit of lip foliage cannot daunt Mr. Berger. Besides her other accompli s h m e n t s , the talented Jeanne Friedman is a high flyer! She went riding in an aeroplane, but after her initial trip, she has decided to leave all the honors to Lindbergh. At least, in an automobile, you can get out and walk ! We are sorry to learn that Anne Garfinkle, Mr. Netter’s secretary, is leaving us, but we are glad, as long as she must go that she has, as her successor, Lillian Rudnick. Look to your laurels, now, girls of the Booking Department.
