They use NONSPI the year aroundspring, summer, fall and winter. Why be embarrassed ? Why permit costly clothing to be destroyed by underarm perspiration?

An English company made the story of Nurse Edith Cavell, shot as a spy by the Germans during the war. Protests from Germany, claiming that the picture would only stir up unnecessary bitterness and revive old hates, caused the film to be banned, as a concession to international amity. This particular scene caused the strongest protest. The picture, its title is "Dawn," has been brought to the United States. Arch Selwyn, an American theatrical producer, is going to show it. What do you think? opening, people spoke to Mr. Stiller about our coming to .\nierica. He talked, but he did nothing, ^\'e went back to Stockholm, to get read> to make a German picture. IN a month we went back to Berlin and then on to Constantinople, where we were to make the picture. There were to be many Turks in it. "Constantinople! I do not know how to describe it. It isn't like what people say about it. They are not in costume. They dress like European people. Except the very old Turks, who are dirty. "The streets — narrow vnth dirty little shops; dirty cafes filled with food which is oily. The lazy Turks — they are fascinating. "One day I was walking alone on the street and I followed along behind one of the old Turks; the dirty one with the funny pants. You know them? I do not know how many hours I followed him. He did not go anywhere; did not have anywhere to go but wander. He was so dirty, but so fascinating. "We never started on that picture. The company went broke. Mr. Stiller had to go back to Germany to see about the money which was not coming. I was alone in Constantinople. Oh, yes, Einar Hansen," she paused, "the Swedish boy who was kiUed here in Hollywood not so long ago — was there, too. He was to play with me in the picture. But I did not see him often. "I was invited to the Swedish embassy. I went two times, but I did not like it. I did not want to be around people. I liked to be alone in Constantinople. I went to the bazaars. I had a guide with me. They are so big, you could never find your way out of them without someone to guide you. "I was so restless. It was a very big disappointment not to have the money for our picture. But I was not lonely. I walked around the old city by myself mostly. " T LOVE to travel. I would like just to have -'• enough money to travel. I have no place I want to go— except back to Sweden. I want to go every place! Back in the hills of China. To Japan. The Chinese and the Japanese have such strange faces. I wonder what must be on the inside of them. I would like to touch in China the little things that have been so many thousand years on earth. I would not care for company. It is not necessary to have company when you travel. "If I go back to Sweden," she sighed. "I do not know. One month, two — three. Perhaps it will be too small for me — I want to go everywhere and see every people. "Yes, I would like to go back to Constantinople. But I would not like to live there. The colors of that country. You cannot describe them. I would like to see them again, but not stay longer than the one month I was there then. "TT was a shock, about not making that pic■^ture. But it was none of my fault. .Although I was so restless, why should I ha\^e worried? There were other companies and I was young — and was alone in a big, wonderful city. "Mr. Stiller came back and took me to Berlin and had roe make another picture which he ^vas not directing. It was 'The Street of Sorrow.' It was a very bad picture. When it ran in New York, the people did not like it. "Louis B. Mayer was in Berlin. He wanted to sign a contract with us for his company. Whatever Mr. Stiller said, I knew was always the best thing to do. I would say, 'Is it good?' and if he say, 'It is good,' I would do it. "When I met Mr. Mayer, he hardly looked at me. I guess he looked at me out of the corner of his eye, but I did not see him. All of the business was done with Mr. Stiller. "I signed a three year contract. The money was to be four hundred dollars a week and six hundred and seven hundred-fifty for forty weeks . each year. "I do not really know what I got in Europe. That is the truth. "■XyfR. STILLER gave it to me. And it came ■'•"■'■and it went like all money. I am not a good business woman. "I went back to Stockholm to get ready. "It was strange; a very strange feehng. I was looking forward to something I had never seen. I did not know how it would turn out. "People here do not know what it means to my people when somebody goes to .America. There is always much crying — a feeling that they will never come back to their own country Every odvcrtlscn ..\Y M.VOAZINE is euaranteed.
