Paramount Pep-O-Grams (1930)

<9 F IL O O It might be a good idea for those young ladies who go on a diet — to reduce — to ask Paula Greenwald tlie formula of hers. While Paula has lost in poundage, she, contrary to the general rule, has gained even more good spirits and wit. Vacations by now are but a memory with most people but Aliss Helen O’Connor will not forget hers for sometime. She took hers the last two weeks of October and returned all ready for continued activity. IMost everybody knows Miss Guenard as the very efficient secretary of Mr. limes, but how many know that her first name is Carmen ? \\ hat with such a jiretty name, charming manner and pleasing jiersonality is it any wonder that she is well liked! .MAYBE Irene Sullivan doesn’t care for ^Miniature Golf but she certainly likes being at the wheel of a car. You auto see her drive I Mr. J. J. Colligan wouldn’t reach for a Luck}' but no one can say he wouldn’t reach for his good ole pipe. Mike of the 11th Floor Information Desk never sees any stage stars as a first-nighter, but no one can deny he doesn’t get a first glimpse of many of the Paramount Stars w'hen they call at the Iiome office. After quite a struggle wdth Old Man LaGrippe, Glenn Knox Haddow' has returned to his desk, once more looking hale and hearty. It was a bad time to choose to be sick, Knox, because we missed you at the Inaugural Ttinner and you missed a darn good meal. Heavenly Stars The twelfth floor was all abuzz recently. Why? Claudette Colbert, Alitzi Green, Stuart Erwin, Harold Lloyd and Fredric IMarch were seen being escorted around to several offices, and when such luminous constellations traverse OUR floor, it just naturally makes our hearts go pit-a-pat. W'e don’t usually discuss politics during business hours but last week Mayor James Walker was seen coming out of the 12th floor projection room. W-'onder if he’s goin’ to be a ■“movin’ pitcher acter?” It is said “Even the best of friends must jiart’’ and so it was when Francis F'inan (12th floor Reception Clerk) bade his many Paramount friends goodby, after being with them almost ten years, to take a City position. The three boys at the Desk with him. Jack Fruchtman, Peter McCaul and Spiro Costas, not wanting to be forgotten, presented him with a beautiful what-you-may-call-it — Shaeffer fountain pen at one end and pencil at the other. The rest of his twelfth floor friends gave him a “pipe-ing” smoking set. Succeeding Francis Finan is Michael Haas about whom we have had some excellent reports and we, therefore, wish him good luck. ■^WELL At last we have gone over to the REDS (Amtorg and Hamilton Fish please note) and all the way from the brilliant cardinal of a beautiful rose — to the deep crimson of a glorious sunset — with three charming Pepsters leading the parade — Viola Goertz, Alice Dolan and Catherine Peters showing us some stunning creations recently — (this testimonial has not been paid for — yet— but we can be reached c/o Judge Crater). And here’s a swell tip for other Pepsterettes — A red Outfit — Tammy, Raincoat and Dress trimmed with white — then you’ll knock them for exactly Eighty-four Touchdowns— two in the second for the “Vanities”-, and dinner at the Ritz. We have a strong hunch that with Joe Wood and Johnny Fuchs representing the Accounting Department in the Bowling Tournament — the glory that was Alexander and Clausen — is going to pass to the Well — Snooping around we discovered that; — Della Miller casts a line over the side of the ferry boat every evening on the way home, the reason being that this vivacious Pepster is awfully fond of — Herring — you must come over for dinner. Sunday — Tuesday and Friday — Pickled Herring — other days — Fried. Joe Cleary must be thinking seriously of out-crooning Rudy — practice sessions daily nine to five. Gus Harding is more interested in Mineralogy— than Aviation — and just now his interest centres around Platinum — ■ Dave Cassidy has a new Radio — and therefore no longer aspires to the Isaac Walton League. The Football season is on — Jim Hubka’s correspondence with West Point. Some class to Annette Malmund driving home from the Astor dinner in her “Chevy.” Annette was kind enough to take a few girls home. The girls weren’t at all satisfied as there weren’t any boys. Sh — Sh — not a word to a soul! Have you heard about Ruth Cohen’s romance? Yes, he up and proposed, and it won’t be long now. Another romance is blossoming in the de partment. Two Publixites, Ruth Jacobs and Jack Boxer. Lots of luck to you both. PEP-OGRAMS PAGE FOUR 1
