Every one I know seems to like him, and I hope he will gain a good many admirers in the near future. Sincerely yours, Lillian Crozier, 208 W. 148th St., New York City, X. Y. Undoubtedly, censorship is not what the public desires. We have received a great number of letters on this subject and the one we print herewith is worth passing on : Dear Editor : — As a motion picture fan. I read with interest your editorial entitled "You Are the Censor," in the May number of the Motion Picture Magazine. As there was a censorship bill before our State legislature, I wrote the Senator from our district, protesting the passage of this bill. The bill had already passed the House, and was in the hands of the Senate committee. Members of the American Legion voted on the proposed bill, and sent their protest to Lansing. The day the censorship bill came up for consideration in the Senate, forty thousand people had entered protests against its passage, despite the fact that the theater owners in our town, at least, had apparently paid no attention to the bill. The bill died in the committee, nine Senators voting to take the bill out of the committee. Our Senator was one of these nine. The newspapers seem to be in favor of censorship — still they devote whole columns to graphic descriptions of murders, robberies, etc. Now, it strikes me, if your publications would hammer away until every exhibitor woke up and placed a bulletin board in his lobby, informing his patrons, where to write, we could soon deal these self -appointed reformers a knock-out. Wishing you continued success, I remain, Yours very truly, Frank L. Jackson, Owosso, Mich. Recently the cinema villains have been so attractive that sin has been made desirable. Here is something for the censor to investigate : Dear Editor : — In the July number I noticed a criticism of Nazimova, and I want to say that I consider her one of the finest actresses on the screen. Nazimova not only has talent. She has genius. Of course, she has made mistakes. Every actress does that — and she has had very poor material lately, but she does have genius, and I think she is an actress any fan ought to be proud of, for she is a credit to American pictures. But, altho I think Nazimova is the best actress, she is not my favorite, by any means. Constance Talmadge is one of my favorites, and I think she does very well, considering the very poor stories she is expected to make. But, the one who is my very special crush now, is Majorie Daw. I do think she is the sweetest thing, and she certainly acts well. Oh dear, I suppose it is all the censor's fault, but I do wish that just once they would let the heroine have the nerve to marry the villain. Most of the villains are much more interesting than the heroes. They are so much more original to be bad, instead of good. Don't you think so? I would love to see Wally as the villian, and then they would have to let the heroine marry him, because she couldn't possibly prefer the very nicest of heroes to him? Very sincerely, B. H., Pennsylvania. Add This Beauty to your features — whiter teeth Millions of people have learned a way to whiter, cleaner, safer teeth. A tenday test will prove it, and that test is free. This is to urge that you try the method. Watch how your teeth improve. See what beauty whiter teeth can add. A dingy film Teeth become coated with a dingy film. At first it is viscous — you can feel it with your tongue. It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. That film is what discolors, not the teeth. It dims the natural luster. 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. Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Must combat it The ordinary tooth paste does not effectively combat film. So the tooth brush has left much of it intact. As a result, the best-brushed teeth will often discolor and decay. Very few people have escaped the troubles caused by film. Dental science has now found effec tive film combatants. Authorities have amply proved them. Now leading dentists everywhere advise their daily use. The methods are embodied in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. And other factors, now considered essential, are included with them. The five effects Pepsodent attacks the film in two effective ways. It keeps the teeth so highly polished that film less easily adheres. 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. So every use brings five effects which authorities desire. Watch it act 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 filmcoats disappear. Watch the other good effects. Ten days will show you how much this method means to you and yours. The facts are most important.
