Motion Picture Magazine (Aug 1921-Jan 1922)

<&t |OTiOn picru.-) via Breamer. Corinne Griffith is beautiful, of course, but that is about all. I must say, I cant see -Mae Murray. She's such a fizzle, such a freak. Xor do 1 care for Gloria Swanson. She's just a bit too odd for me. Where is the Nazimova of "Revelation" and "Out of the hog"? And where is the director who knows how to handle her? I wish she would quit striving for those weird effects and "play the game." Mary Pickford has had her day. Likewise Pauline Frederick, Clara K. Young and Alice Joyce. I saw Wallace Reid in "The Charm School" last evening. It is always a little hard to believe in Wally's beauty, isn't it? He does look as tho it was the hand of the artist rather than his Heavenly Father who made him. By the same token, one does not takemuch stock in the so-called "fashionable school" to which the young man falls heir. However, it was very amusing and very faithful to Alice Duer Miller's story. It is to be hoped that Ina Claire will interrupt "The Gold Diggers" many times tc make more moving pictures. "Polly With a Past" was light stuff on the stage, and it is light stuff on the screen. But the very graceful, piquant, thoroly nice Miss Clare is excuse for both. Her unique charm is as much in evidence in the picture as it was in the play. That generally misapplied word, "chic," belongs by rights to Ina Claire, whether she is wearing a maid's apron or stunning gowns that several reels permit her. I am glad to see that Lillian Gish is "getting on." Her beautiful portrayal of Anna Moore, as delicate as the tracery of frost on the window pane, was unforgetable. What will Griffith's pictures be without her? I'm' crazy about Dorothy, too, and never miss her pictures. Went to see Wanda Hawley in "The Outside Woman" recently. The picturewas advertised as containing just one laugh, starting at the beginning and continuing to the end. Maybe my sense of humor is deficient, but I must say I hardly smiled. That is all, excepting that I think the Motion Picture Magazine grows better and more interesting each month. Sincerely, J. E. Finnigax, Frazee, Minn. After the foregoing letters we think we are entitled to publish this one, which is all praise ! Dear Mr. Editor : — I am notifying you that I am one of the enthusiastic readers of your well-known and widely read magazine. It was just last year that I began reading this famous paper, and I have never failed to possess one copy monthly. What is in this paper that I admire and delight to see is the portrait, the unfading beauty of my cherished movie star, Miss Elsie Ferguson, whose winning personality and admirable but sad smiles I was fortunate to behold, when from the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, she came to the metropolis of our dear Filipinos for, as I supposed, recreational purposes. On reading your issue of November of this year, I was deeply sorrow-stricken when I learned from your "Enthusiasm Marks Grand Finale" that my dazzling star, Miss Ferguson, only stood eleventh on the list. Sincerely yours, Daniel V. Domingo. The Philippine Law School, Manila, Philippines. Have You Seen How this test beautifies the teeth? Millions of people have accepted this offer — have made this ten-day test. They have found a way to whiter, cleaner, safer teeth. We urge you to do likewise. Watch how your teeth improve. Learn what this new method means to you and yours. Remove the film Teeth are tarnished by film. By that viscous film you feel. It clings to teeth, gets between the teeth and stays. Old ways of brushing do not end it. Film absorbs stains, making the teeth look dingy. It mars the beauty of millions. But it also is the cause of most tooth troubles. 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. It forms a breeding place for germs. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Very few people who brush teeth daily escape these film-caused troubles. How to fight it Dental science, after long research, has found v/ays to fight that film. Authorities have amply proved those methods. Leading dentists everywhere now advise their daily use. They are embodied in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. And other most important factors are included with them. New protections Pepsodent combats the film in two effective ways. It also aids Nature in ways considered essential. It stimulates the salivary flow — Nature's great tooth-protecting agent. It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva, to digest starch deposits that cling. It multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva, to neutralize the acids which cause tooth decay. Twice a day, Pepsodent is bringing millions these much-desired effects. The test is free Simply mail the coupon for a 10-Day Tube. Note how clean the teeth feel after using.
