Motion Picture Classic (Jan-Dec 1920)

CLASSIC life would be more excitinjj. And then when a new girl would come up. I'd say to myself, 'Kathie, you'll have to look out now ; you'll have to work a little harder !' and I loved it ! "And then I became a star, you know," she smiled, "at Balboa." "How much did they get you for?" I asked. "Only two weeks ! That was because I had made a rule never to wait more than a week for my salary. I've always said that if my salary wasn't ready for me on a Saturday night, I wouldn't go to work Monday morning. "They weren't what you would call exceedingly good pictures. I remember one day I took my family to see one of them at a nickel theater on West Pico Street. There were six or seven murders in it. I played a sort of vampy character who had to faint in just about every scene. " 'There .she goes again !' the man in front of me would say every time I fainted. But the funniest thing was my entrance !" It seems that some man in the audience drawled in a high voice, "Gawd, look who's here." "After all," she remarked, thoughtfully, "I haven't gone ahead as rapidly as many of the girls I know and started with. But then, speed is only relative . . . "That reminds me of a story my mother tells about her first automobile ride. It was in one of the first automobiles ever made and my mother was leaning back, enjoying the rapid motion and the feel of the wind in her face. Finally, overcome with curiosity, she leaned over and touched the driver. ■' 'How fast do you think we are going?' she asked. And he answered in an awe-struck voice : " 'We're going fifteen if we're going a mile!' " Some of Miss Kirkham's pictures that come most readily to mind are the three she did with Douglas Fairbanks, "He Comes Up Smiling," "A Modem Musketeer" and "Arizona." Others are "For Husbands Only," "The Gay Lord Quex," "When Dawn Came" and, latest of all, Angelica in Screen Classics' "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath," the last named something new for her in that it is farce comedy. Beatrice from Paree (Continued from page 71) ture, and I do a dance of seven veils — with six of them in the wash." Sorry as I was to miss the dance of the seven-minus-six veils, I had to go back to town. But, inon dieu, what a difference! It wasn't blue Monday at all, I discovered. The gateman apologized for his remarks, the car started without a cough, and on the way back to town I saw the motor cop, who waved his hand to me. Perhaps it wasn't all Beatrice's doings, but I'm not so sure. Anjrway, I reconmiend her as a cure for the blues — even the Monday variety. fSeventii five) After 10 Days Your teeth may also glisten All statements approved by high dental authorities Millions of teeth now glisten as they have not done before. You see them everywhere. A new method of teeth cleaning has, in late years, come into very wide use. Thousands of dentists are urging it. Multitudes of people have proved it and adopted it. And every person is now offered a free ten-day test. To combat the film The purpose is to combat the film which causes most tooth troubles. Film is that viscous coat you feel. It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. In the months between your dental cleanings it may do a ceaseless damage. It is the film-coat that discolors, not the teeth. Film is the basis of tartar. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Very few escape Very few people have escaped some of these tooth troubles, despite the daily brushing. The ordinary tooth paste does not dissolve film, so the tooth brush has left much of it intact. Dental research has for many years sought a way to fight this film, and the way has now been found. Many clinical tests have amply proved its efficiency. And now leading dentists everywhere are urging its adoption. The method is embodied in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. And millions of people are now enjoying its benefits. Sent to any one who asks The Pepsodent results are quick and apparent. Everyone who sees them will desire them. So, to spread the facts, a 10-Day Tube is sent to anyone who asks. Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the digestant of albumin. The film is albuminous matter. The object of Pepsodent is to dissolve it, then to day by day combat it. A new discovery has made pepsin possible. Pepsin must be activated, and the usual agent is an acid harmful to The New-Day Dentifrice A scientific film combatant combined with two other modern requisites.
