Movie Classic (Sep-Dec 1934)

Intimate Hollywood Oossip (Continued from page 81) (her manager-fiance), Ernst Lubitsch (the director) and others stepped upon the scales. Their total weight came to 2244 pounds and the film to 250 more. By six pounds they were within legal limit, so the pilot agreed to take off. It wasn't until their return trip that anybody bothered to count the passengers — which was fortunate for the superstitiously minded. There were thirteen! Ziegfeld Girls, New Crop THERE has been a regular stampede of chorus girls trying out for jobs in "The Great Ziegfeld" (starring William Powell) at Universal. The glamour attached to being called a Ziegfeld Beauty is still great. And if these kids are really too young to have been original Glorified Girls, the least they can do is to bask in reflected glory. £ Mystery Set OME weeks ago, the picture was finvD ished. Yet they continue to work upon one set of "The Gay Divorcee." Technicians visit it daily, stand around viewing it, scratch their heads in bewilderment, then go back to their offices and try to figure out the mystery on paper. On the screen, this set proved to have third dimensional effects. No one has been able to find out why. So the set will be kept standing until they do. What's the Difference? FRANCIS LEDERER, staunch advocate of peace that he is, found one line in the dialogue of "Pursuit of Happiness" that he could not force himself to say. The line read, "For that, I would fight." It took several editorial conferences and many disputes before the line was changed. It became, "For that, I would argue." Wedding Belles WE had another bull market in marriages last month — several were elopements to Yuma. The one least suspected united Heather Angel, petite British star, with a fellow-countryman, Ralph Forbes, former husband of Ruth Chatterton. It had been a whirlwind courtship of six weeks. (See detailed story on page 40. — Ed.) Marian Nixon also hopped off to Yuma with William Seiter, the director — after denying an engagement four days previously, when her divorce from Edward Hillman, Jr., was becoming final. Onslow Stevens was another Yumaite, taking with him Phyllis Cooper, daughter of a local banker. Adolphe Menjou and Yeree Teasdale said "I do's" in a Judge's office in Los Angeles without pomp or ceremony. (See detailed story on page 36. — Ed.) But it was a very formal wedding for Eddie Buzzell, the director, and Sara Clark, wealthy society girl. Getting the Papers THERE were two divorces. The Conrad Nagels were officially declared two in Mexico, and Sue Carol filed papers locally against Nick Stuart. The newsboys made much of the latter, crying headlines reading "Another Movie Split-up." (And most people were of the impression that this particular divorce had taken place long ago — they have been separated so long!) Sue charged that Nick had thrown a cross-word puzzle book at her, the judge allowing the action one of cruelty. He didn't say, however, who had been cruel — Nick for throwing the book or Sue for doing crossword puzzles. Have you ever really tried IF you really want whiter, more attractivelooking teeth, REMOVE FILM, say leading dental authorities. Film is that dull, dingy coating that constantly forms on teeth. It catches bits of food. Harbors stains from smoking. Combines with substances in the saliva to form hard deposits. And worse still, film is laden with millions of tiny germs that are often the forerunner of tooth decay. Film unremoved invites dental disorders. Thus film must be removed — kept off teeth. Brushing alone cannot remove film satisfactorily. Ordinary tooth pastes or powders may be ineffective in removing film. There is now a dentifrice you can depend on regularly—a dentifrice thousands of dentists use in their own homes and millions of people have used successfully. This dentifrice is Pepsodent— the special film-removing tooth paste. The safe way to cleaner teeth No other equally safe way removes film as thoroughly as Pepsodent. Pepsodent is different in formula, hence different in the way it works. It contains no grit, pumice or soap. The basis of this definitely modern tooth paste is a new and revolutionary cleansing and polishing material — recently developed. This cleansing agent is far softer than the polishing material used in other leading tooth pastes or tooth powders. Yet it removes film and polishes teeth to new gleaming lustre as more abrasive kinds can never do. So why take chances with "bargain" dentifrices or questionable ways ? Remember that this unique film-removing agent is contained in Pepsodent exclusively. Thus no other tooth paste can assure you of true Pepsodent results. Use Pepsodent twice a day — see your dentist at least twice a year. 89
