Motion Picture Classic (May 1921 - Dec 1927)

CLASSIC Good News That millions of women tell Seen But Not Heard (Continued from page 41) toward a large cage standing on the floor beside the desk and said, “Polly !” When I suggested that perhaps she preferred light comedy to emotional drama, she seized upon pencil and paper, scrawled thereon, and presenting the result to me remarked, “Pig!” “She loves to draw portraits,” vouchsafed the publicity man eagerly. “Urn,” I replied dubiously. But more seriously : Baby Peggy, sturdy, dark eyed, plump, has won her way with ah almost phenomenal swiftness into the hearts of film-goers. There is about her tiny person an aroma of freshness, a charming lack of artifice. That smug, irritating mien of the usual screen child has not yet laid itself, like an ugly mantle, upon her young shoulders. There is in her no apparent desire to show off, no other interests than those of a healthy normal baby girl. She likes her work well enough ; she will be polite as possible to the big funny people who treat her with such solemnity and respect ; but she is quite frank in her preference for typewriters and pigs. In a recent mental test of the child film stars, that included them all from Wes Barry to the inimitable Jackie. Baby Peggy carried off first honors. The test, conducted I believe by the University of Southern California, consisted of oral questions and answers and covered a wide variety of subjects. To the question, “What is health?” not an easy one for a three-year-old, Baby Peggy replied promptly, “The thing that makes you have to have your toothes brushed.” To another, “What is a rule?” meaning the reign of a king, Peggy answered, “The thing you 'get spanked with.” She went thru the remaining list of questions with equal promptitude and finesse, and in the final balancing of age and answers easily took the prize. Baby Peggy seems singularly fortunate. She is blessed with sane parents who have maintained toward her an attitude that one might find in good parents the world round, . unconstrained by the thought that they are guarding a child wonder. Because she would not talk, Mama Montgomery put upon Peggy the ignominy of standing in the corner. She took the punishment bravely, with only a faint sniffle to betray her hurt, and when I went to her rescue smiled sweetly up at me. “And now,” I begged, “just answer me one question. What do you want to be when you grow up — an actress?” She shook her head solemnly. “No,” she said gravely, “I want to be a lady.” “Hum,” I said thoughtfully, glancing edgewise at her mother, who seemed to be a little alarmed, “and cant you be both ?” “Pm afraid,” said Peggy, twisting a corner of her jacket, “I’m afraid I’m not big enough-.” (Seventy-five) Millions of women, all the world over, have found a way to prettier teeth. Some by dental advice, some by this ten-day test. They have spread the news to others. Now wherever you look you see glistening teeth, and more smiles to show them. We urge you again to accept this test and prove to yourself what they know. Must combat film That viscous film you feel on teeth must be combated daily. Otherwise it clings, enters crevices and stays. It forms the basis of cloudy coats, including tartar. It also holds food substance which 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. Thus most tooth troubles are now traced to film, and very few escape them. Why it remains The tooth brush and the ordinary tooth paste cannot effectively combat it. So nearly everybody, however careful, had teeth discolor and decay. Dental science has for years tried to combat this condition. Two ways have now been found. Able authorities have proved them, and leading dentists now urge their daily use. The New-Day Dentifrice Endorsed by authorities and advised by leading dentists nearly all the world over today. All druggists supply the large tube. A new-type tooth paste has been perfected, called Pepsodent. It corrects some old mistakes. These two great film combatants are embodied in it for daily application. It does far more Pepsodent does more than that. It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva. 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. It omits soap and chalk, which now are known to bring undesired effects. You’ll know at once Pepsodent brings quick results. A week will make them conspicuous. Once you see and feel them you will never go without them, or let your children miss them. Send the coupon for a 10-Day Tube. Note how clean the teeth feel after using. Mark the absence of the viscous film. See how teeth whiten as the film-coats disappear. Learn the delights of Pepsodent, with the added protection and beauty it brings. Do this without delay. Cut out the coupon now. This is most important. 10-Day Tube Free THE PEPSODENT COMPANY, Dept. 290, 1104 S. Wabash Ave., Chicago, 111. Mail 10-Day Tube of Pepsodent to Only one tube to a family,.
