Motion Picture Classic (1923, 1924, 1926)

The Genius of Gesl >ntinued from page sense Rhyme, Fantastic "ifs" such ;i these mighl etch a Joseph Schildkraut. A young man, t\\ ent) -seven, young and beautiful and gifted. A young man sought by the world. Yon might assume that he would in turn seek the world again, dance in it. dine with it, make merry with it. But he doesn't. He lias never accepted a social imitation. He nevei dances. He never dines out. When he is not on the stage he is in the dim and Imok lined room, reading. Living, I suppose. Living his own life, perhaps, more authentically than mosl of us do. He knows ahoul six people well. Of these six, three are his mother, his father and his wife. The world, he says, is not interested in Joseph Schildkraut, the man. But only in The Chevalier and in Liliom and in Peer Gynt. The men he is on stage and screen. Very well, they shall have him as Liliom and Peer Gynt. hut Joseph Schildkraut they shall not have. He shrinks from "Fame." and asks what is it? Acting seems futile ... it may have heen a mood. If one writes a book, or a poem, if one paints a picture, one survives. One goes on. One is preserved for posterity. But an aetor ! A shadow across a screen. When an aetor is gone, when his little day is done, what remains of him? What has he left? Nothing-. A name. A memory. Fragile git'tto the generations. He struts, the aetor. a few slight hours upon the Ixiards in other guises than his own, and then is gone. Posterity is the only reality. The only worth-while thing. "I should like to he a bank-clerk, with children . . . but of course, I shall have children. Children are what we Ming ahead of us into the ages. Children are our immortality." \nother curiousness. that he should he so lightly touched with Egomania as to care so deeply about the Tomorrows that will not know him, save by name. Out of the world he knows he has picked Beauty and Posterity as the final essentials. Beauty of living. Beauty of loving. We. the World, are afraid of these two. he says. Either we bruise them or we turn away from them. And Posterity. For posterity there should be survivals of art, children, symbols of immortality. Perhaps, he suggested, he hasn't had to struggle enough. With him, Why Women Smile As they never did before Teeth are prettier today — Millions combat film Most pictures are now taken with a smile, showing pretty teeth. Look about you. Note how many smiles now show glistening teeth. That was not always so. Millions of people are now using a new teeth-cleaning method. Every day they are combating the dingy film on teeth. You will also do so when you make this test and see the quick results. Film is unsightly It is film that makes teeth dingy — that viscous film you feel. It clings to teeth, gets between the teeth and stays. If not frequently removed, it may form cloudy coats. It is also the basis of tartar. That film absorbs stains, so the teeth look discolored. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid, holds the acid in contact with i!i_ teeth to cause decay. Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Thus most tooth troubles are now traced to film. Dental science has t^ng been seeking ways to fight that film. Two ways have now been found. Together they act to curdle the film and then remove it. Able authorities have proved their efficiency. Now leading dentists the world over are advising their daily use. A new-type paste A new-type tooth paste has been created, to comply with all modern requirements. The name is Pepsodent. These two film combatants are embodied in it. Millions of people have adopted it. largely by dental advice. To the homes of fifty nations it is bringing a new dental era.

That is there to digest starch deposits which may otherwise cling and form acids. It multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva. That is there to neutralize mouth acids, the cause of tooth decay. Thus every use of Pepsodent gives manifold power to Nature's great tooth-protecting forces in the mouth. Results are quick Vou Results are quicx and convincing, see and feel them.
