Motion Picture Classic (May 1921 - Dec 1927)

CLASSIC For You, Also Prettier Teeth — Whiter, Cleaner, Safer Slumbering Fires ( Continued from page 33) Peggy — that’s Mrs. Talmadge — said the surgeon had gotten a set smile fixed on the lady’s face and it wouldn’t come off. “It must be awful,” she said, “when she gets into a quarrel with her husband — not to be able to take the smile off.” Eugene O’Brien said he thought it was pitiful. He said that these women with fixed-up faces were missing the most beautiful part of life — an honored old age. He said they were as pathetic as performing lions or jazz dancing elephants. Norma suddenly turned around in her chair and appealed to her mother. “Aren’t men queer? They get sentimental over the funniest things. Imagine seeing anything pathetic in a woman with the slack taken up in her face.” She turned back to her make-up table and critically touched her face with a soft make-up brush. “But I’ll tell you one thing,” she said, cheerfully contradicting herself. “When I am sixty years old. I'm going to be sixty years old.” “Which, shows how very, very far from sixty years old you are,” murmured Eugene O’Brien. “By the time you are really sixty years old, you will be covered with somebody else’s hair; your face will be stuffed so full of paraffin you cant eat and you’ll have something new done to you every day. You’ll have a regular repair department.” “When I’m sixty I’m going to be a sweet old lady with a rocking chair and a calm manner,” retorted Norma. Presently Mr. Lloyd called her from the set and she came on for her first scene in the picture. She was supposed to be an unhappy wife of an old nobleman, secretly in love with a young clergyman. She stood in a ball gown, leaning against a rough stone pillar. At the director’s nod, a look of poignant unhappiness came into her face, a wistful anguish, an utterly forlorn aching desolation. Then she turned and came slowly and sorrowfully up toward the camera — came to the two men who were quarreling, her angry stage husband and her stage lover. Norma Talmadge is a wonderful girl. There is something vibrant and electrical about her. She suggests terrible slumbering fires of emotion. Some day, when she gets a little nearer sixty than she is now and has to try harder, when her radiant beauty no longer carries her along on the crest of a wave of triumph ; then Norma Talmadge is going to show the world something in the way of acting it has not before experienced. Even now she absolutely dominates every scene by sheer force of personality. As she turned her great luminous eyes from one man to another, it was like the sweep of a searchlight — the same slow dynamic power. But as the director said “Great” and stopped the camera, she turned and lit her ivory handled cigaret. (Seventy-seven) Look about you and you’ll see glistening teeth on every side today. Teeth which once were dingy now have luster. And women smile to show them. The reason is this: A new way has been found to fight film on teeth, and millions now employ it. It is also at your command — a free test. So don’t envy such teeth, but get them. That cloudy film There forms on your teeth a viscous film. You can feel it now. It clings to teeth, gets between the teeth and stays. That film absorbs stains. Then, if left, it forms the basis of dingy coats, including tartar. That’s why teeth don’t shine. Film also holds food substance which ferments and forms acids. It holds the acids 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, which few escape, are now traced to that film. Now we combat it Old methods of brushing are not sufficiently effective. So nearly everybody suffers from it more or less. But dental science, after long research, has found two film combatants. Able authorities have proved their efficiency. Now The New-Day Dentifrice Now endorsed by authorities and advised by leading dentists nearly all the world over. All druggists supply the large tubes. leading dentists all the world over are urging their daily use. A new-type tooth paste has been created, based on modern knowledge. The name is Pepsodent. These two great film combatants are embodied in it. Two other effects Pepsodent is based on modern dental research. It corrects some great mistakes made in former dentifrices. 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 Nature’s agent for neutralizing acids which cause tooth decay. Thus Pepsodent gives a manifold power to these great tooth-protecting agents in the mouth. Watch them whiten Pepsodent will bring to any home a new dental era. Millions of people have learned this, and now enjoy its benefits. Send the coupon for a 10-Day Tube.
