Motion Picture Classic (1923, 1924, 1926)

A Thousand Dollars a Day I (Continued from pogt 40) know, bul Cruze wanted to talk about far places. "1 low do you «li rect, Jim " i 'raze hates to speak in the first person. "Dont know," he answered. "Donl like to talk about pictures. Direct on impulse ; wait foi o< casions. Put in the thing I think is real. Don! follow rule Never did. Never will." "What quality is absolute!) essentia] in directing "Resourcefulness bul hell, a fellow has to he resourceful if he drives an automobile a hundred miles." He really does not like to talk pictures, hut in talking about life he's a great conversationalist. One can see that he abhor S the academic and bloodless makers of rules that real talent breaks. For the benefil of the longhairs taking walks in pseudo Greenwich villages, Cruze never uses the word "art." And for the benefit of the too well educated it may be well to remember that Cruze is a brilliant man and had less schooling than any man 1 know schooling in the academic sense. "What is your routine of directtog?" "There is none. It changes with every picture. No two pictures — no two situations — even no two leaves are exactly alike. A fellow cannot steep himself in stock methods, he's got to have guts, imagination, sympathy. He must make the story live. But I've said enough." I once talked with an old Mormon in Salt Lake City. The conversation turned to the best-known man from Utah. "You know," he said, "about seven years ago a young fellow came down here from Hollywood and talked to a lot of us about filming the history of our coming across country in wagons. He said he'd weave a love story thru it and make it a big picture and we'd all make a lot of money. He stayed down here with us four weeks hut none of us would spend any money, for we all knew the youngster and didn't think he'd make good. So he went back to Hollywood and we decided to make use of his idea. We made a picture giving our entire history — but I guess it's no good. We're ashamed to show it to anyone now. Anyhow, the fellow who talked to all of us was that youngster we all know. Jimmy Cruze. So you see. he had that picture in his head a long time — or one like it, 'The Covered Wagon,' I mean. That Cruze hoy always was a smart kid." Jim Cruze entered pictures in 1908 — rather a long time ago. In fact. J X / One Happy Day She learned how to beautify teeth Countless people have attained prettier teeth by making this tenday test. They accepted this offer, they watched the results. Then they resolved to brush teeth in this new way. Now, wherever you go, you see the whiter, cleaner teeth this method brought about. They fight the film Film is the teeth's great enemy — that viscous film you feel. It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. No ordinary tooth paste can effectively combat it. Soon that clinging film discolors, then forms dingy coats. That's why teeth grow cloudy. Film also holds food substancewhich ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea.

Protect the Enamel Pepsodent disintegrates the film, then removes it with an agent far softer than namcl.

Eventually two ways were found. One disintegrates the film at all stages of formation. One removes it without harmful scouring. These methods have been proved by many tests. A newtype tooth paste has been created to apply them daily. The name is Pepsodent. The results are so remarkable that careful people of some 50 nations have adopted this newday dentifrice.
