PROJECTION DEPT. A GOOD START Rene Jimenez started on his publicity career with a vengeance. He went out and got two whole pages of NUEVO MUNDO filled up with pictures of Pathe stars and scenes, in their anniversary number published last week. This paper is read by over 30,000 Latin-American people in New York City alone. If anybody wants to buy a brand new 1910 model phonograph witli its corresponding records, see Ed Gallagher, chief of the Statistical Dept., or Beatrice Krupnick who keeps his records of theatres, sound machines, branch offices and what- not. Four hundred and thirty-seven years ago Col- umbus discovered this Continent, and on the same day, year 1929. Helen Hyder, Eighth Floor, be- came the wife of Irving Raymond and embarked on the good ship Matrimony for the land of happiness and landlords. Here's luck! Qh Ijealt l NO DUST ON HIM Charley Wilson, Maine representative, arriving in one of his towns, dropped in a restaurant to have a bite before call- ing on his account there. While eating, the exhibitor dropped in and Charley asked him to join him in a snack. The exhibitor consented and upon conclusion of the lunch, Charley took the checks and the usual argument followed, “I’ll pay. No, I’ll pay, etc.” Finally Charley, be- cause of his insistence, won the argu- ment but before he paid the exhibitor bought a few cigars and stuck them in Charley’s pocket and left the restaurant for the street. Charley doesn’t smoke cigars and mentioned it to the Cashier, whereupon she smiling said, “I will give you a refund for them.” Charley readily took her up, gave her the two checks and received a dime in change. Without a doubt we feel that Charley should receive two gold seals for this. We will now relate to you the story concerning Ed. Urschel and Doughnuts, and the girl who brings him doughnuts.—TO BE CONTINUED! Now that Harry, Jr., has returned to school, Harry Smith, Sr., will be unable to wear knickers excepting on Saturday when there is no school and Harry, Jr., is at home. The Publicity foursome in the first annual golf tournament of the Pathe Studios. Left to right: Erie Hampton, Bill Thomas, Donn McElwaine and Phil Gersdorf. The most recent addition to the Cup Custard Haircut Club is Edmund Francis Clarke, familiarly known as Captain, formerly berth statistician on S. S. Pullman. Foolishness and caprice formed three quarters of the space used in my past contributions, says Bill Cuddy. In the future I intend to stay away from this and have formed or rather started a set of rules, as follows: To beware of platitudinous ponderosi- ty. Let my communications possess co- alesced consistency, and a concatenated cogency. Eschew all flatulent garrulity, jejune babbling, and asinine affectation. Use intelligibility and veracious vivacity without rodomontade or thrasonical bom- bastry. Sedulously avoid all prolixity and psittaeeous vacuity. In other words, write naturally, with- out airs- Say what I mean, mean what I say, and above all—don’t use big words! OH, YEAH? Kansas City had another very welcome visitor in Mr. Ballentine, our Manager of Exchange Operations, and it is the opinion of the feminine contingent of the office that should he decide that he might like a change from the strenuous job of supervising the exchanges, he might well take up the movies as a vocation, being possessed of that irresistable personality that appeals to the “fair” sex. Natur- ally, the men liked him for other reasons, says Jennie Krumm. High and low: Johnny Mescall, Pathe Cameraman, who won the annual golf tour- nament staged by Exhibitor’s Herald, cap- turing a second leg on the championship cup with a brilliant 73 at Lakeside Country Club, and Harry Poppe, Production Manager, whose 156 in the same tournament defied worst and won the booby prize. (Jh tfecih f Speaking about playdates, we have installed a new Booking counter, says Mabel J. Myers, Fortland. We make the exhibitors so comfortable that we actually have to pull them off their chairs to make room for the next. And as for securing dates, it has already more than paid for the ex- penditure. Joe Rivkin, Publicity Dept., is on the road to becoming a millionaire. A friend of his who is with the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, sent Joe a card with one of the special “map” s amps on it. These stamps are said to be worth money, and added to what Joe makes on baseball games, races, etc., will be the foundation of a Rolls Royce fortune. The Indianapolis Branch expresses sympathy to Miss Florence Rupp, whose father died on October 9th, says Dorothy Wright. Bill Cuddy, Boston, says he is Booker of Chat- ting and Non-Chatting Comedies. After looking at Ernie Warren’s photo in a recent Sun a vote was taken by the entire personnel to have it suppressed. Apparently this seeming caricature of Ernest had been made during an adoles- cent period and presumably on a night that Hadley had been adolescing. How- ever, Ernie has outgrown that, and more- over it should not be held against him, says Bill Cuddy. A description of Mr. Warren might be ventured here. Ernie is about 5 feet 8 inches tall, masculine in structure, with the exception of his upper lip which is garnished with a moustache of a brunette hue. It might be well to add that Mr. Warren is generally conceded to be the handsomest man driving a Pontiac in these regions. Despite his persistency, in wearing a double-breasted vest, Ernie is a real fellow and salesman. Further, his carriage and good traits of character may be traced to his lineage, he being a descendant of Chief Gray Eagle. We are of the opinion that as soon as Mrs. Warren glimpses the picture you will soon receive a new one. Continues Bill Cuddy, P. S. — As I finished the above, Mr. Warren came into the office, picked up the Sun and burnt up. He claims he paid $2.00 for a picture and mailed it some time ago. We had a trade screening Tuesday, October 1, 1929, at the Fenway Theatre 0541 and was there a big crowd and did they enjoy the show 0211! SAILOR’S HOLIDAY Richard Collins DeSarro, now in Los Angeles, is pinch hitting for his dad Rodney M. in the art circles. The cos- tume in the photograph above might in- dicate that he is working on a publicity angle of “Sailor’s Holiday.” As youngest correspondent in the busi- ness he collects material on his veloci- pede, and states that the future outlook on the Motion Picture Industry is quite favorable in spite of the Talkies. Dick was indisposed however to make any further comment at this time as he is very busy on the matter of “Santa Claus.” The ladies’ bowling scores have not been pub- lished to date due to the fact that so far the girls have not found themselves. We might add that they are a little off BOWLING form, but other- wise they shape up great, and are the main at- traction on Wednesday evening’s at Dwyers’. However, the OH YEAH’s are in the lead, and the fight is on for the big money prizes. We should soon be hearing from the dark horses after the girls get over their stage fright. (To be continued).

Book Your Passage Now THROUGH THE CHRISTMAS SEASON tion to i he American Society for the Control of Cancer made possible a campaign of publiciiy which unquestion- ably saved many lives.
