Photoplay Magazine — ADVEivrisiNG Section III Major Warwick in France {Continued) observer. There is only one respecl in which his Seeing the War has the objective "consciousness"' of the lens and this is in the elimination of self. Major Warwick will give you many a reel of verbal pictures, but when you try to lake a hand in the product, n and introduce him among the actors — nothing doing. You get a blank screen until you agree to let the major tell his story with himself left out. And then you have in review Marshall Foch, General Pershing, Lord Reading, General Mangin, Paris during the Good Friday bombardment, American ciivisions, French divisions, the historic review of poilus at Strassburg, the armistice and — A special word about the armistice. What is it that was most hilariously hailed when it befell and has since been most anathematized? Easily, the armistice. At one and the same time it ended the war, which was welcome, and many line military careers, which was distressing. If the armistice had not intervened precisely when it did the then Captain Warwick, fresh from the Great Staff College at Langres, would have become, de bonne heure, a lieutenant colonel, with an assignment as assistant chief of staff to the general commanding the TwentyEighth Division. You have heard men speak harshly about the armistice in such words as — "If it hadn't been for that blank armistice I'd have gone to France," or, "The Armistice cheated me out of a commission; yessir, I was just on the point of— etc." Major Warwick has forgiven the .armistice and even mentions it kindly. He would have worn a silver leaf on either shoulder, but when he puts these into the scales against the peace of the world he is generous enough to admit that he is on the losing side of the lever. \^ou have seen Robert Warwick in pictures; guess his age. Wrong. The draft missed him by a safe margin, which, however, made no difference; he went in early in the game, enrolled in the Roosevelt contingent long before some of the young bucks were ready for the Big Adventure; and when it was decided there would be no Roosevelt division he rushed around to the application office and put in his name for Platttsburg. Warwick was in New York then with the Athletic Club training battalion, but the officer at the Plattsburg recruiting place, who knew "material" when he saw it — and in this case he saw about six feet of it — touched him on the shoulder with, "I want you," and three months later, down at the camp, there were two bars of a captain on that shoulder and two on the other — a commander of infant v he was. He was assignijd to Camp Dix, but a change in orders sent him to the War College at Washington where a month's intensive training in military intelligence brought him flush up with destiny — the going across. This course at the War College was reserved for men with special equipment; Captain Warwick had spent five years of his youth in Paris universities and knew France and the French and their language like a boulevardier. Voila. From the step-off he was among Big Things. On the way over he saw, close at hand, the Tuscania torpedoed. This, you will remember, was the only American transport sunk. Warwick was on the Baltic and missed no detail. But he was able, not long afterwards, to witness a compensatory happening; off the coast of France, as he was returning to .America on a special mission aboard the Leviathan, the ship's gunners sent a German sub to Davy Jones locker. "The greatest sight I ever saw?" As he repeated my question I could sense the stirring of splendid memories in my victim of this interview. Ill say he was my victim; Prettier Teeth Safer Teeth — Without a Film All Statements Approved by High Dental Authorities It Is Film That Mars and Ruins It is known today that the cause of nmost tooth troubles is a slimy film. You can feel it with your tongue. That film is what discolors — not the teeth. It 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 ^t. They, with tarter, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. The film is clinging. It enters crevices and stays. The tooth brush does not end it. The ordinary tooth paste does not dissolve it. So millions find that well-brushed teeth discolor and decay. Dental science, after years of searching, has found a film combatant. Its efficiency has been amply proved by clinical and laboratory tests. Able authorities approve it and leading dentists all over America are now urging its adoption. A Free Test to Every Home This new method is embodied in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. And a I 0-Day Tube is sent to everyone who wishes to prove its efficiency. 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. But pepsin must be activated, and the usual agent is an acid harmful to the teeth. So pepsin long seemed impossible. But science has discovered a harmless activating method. And millions of teeth are now being daily brushed with this active pepsin. We urge you to see the results. They are quick and apparent. A ten-day test will be a revelation. Send the coupon for the test tube. Compare the results with old methods, and you will soon know what is best. Cut out the coupon so you won't forget, for this is important to you. *V^ m^i^^m^i^m^^mmmm pat. off. g REG.
