An Original Vintage Movie Studio Book (measures 8 1/4" x 11 1/4" [21 x 29 cm]; 128 pages) The Paramount Pep Club 1926 Annual Yearbook.


the 1926 Paramount studio tribute book, sent to members of the Paramount Pep Club (which was basically a club created by Adolph Zukor, the head of Paramount Pictures, for companies that wanted to sell their products to the many Paramount theaters all over the world); apparently, Zukor had figured out yet another way to make money out of his studio! This book contains 128 pages, which have just a few articles about Paramount, but is packed with ads from the many companies that belonged to the Paramount Pep Club. What makes this book of special interest to all movie paper collectors, are the fantastic pages that have a number of full-page images of Paramount top stars, these are single color, and apparently these books got great reception of the "tipped in" images of Paramount's greatest stars ("tipped in" means that the photos were carefully glued in to each individual single page of every book printed).


Some of the stars pictured include Harold Lloyd, Clara Bow, Bebe Daniels, Richard Dix, Adolphe Menjou and many more! There is also a full-page drawing of Adolph Zukor, and a picture of the incredible "Paramount Building", a massive skyscraper that Paramount had built in New York City! Note that the book has really beautiful embossed burgandy covers with a gold circular emblem of the Paramount Pep Club, including the famous Paramount logo.


This copy has 'Margaret Arthur' printed in gold on the front.  She worked in the Paramount Building doing math calculations for the accounting department.
