NORMA SHEARER The fair Canadienne who starred in " Broken Barriers " and is now working with Victor Seastrom in " He Who Gets Slapped." When I was a youngster I can remember an old auntie of mine whose slogan was " Don't worry, smile." She was a dear old thing, I was very fond of her, and she died with her favourite expression on her lips. It has been my motto ever since. I ran away to go on the stage, you know. I set out with the full determination that fame, a career, and wealth should be mine. I've achieved part of my ambition, but it wasn't easy. I was a " trouper " for years. I don't know if you in England know what that means. In case you don't I'll tell you. It means doing odd bits with second and third-rate touring companies, never sure of your bread from one week's end to another. It means tramping, sometimes, and discomfort always. But I loved it. I am pretty strong, though I look rather fragile, and although I had a hard bed many, many nights I came up-smiling in the morning. C'eriously I find a smile is the pass-key to so many nice things. I can be ■serious enough, but I like to smile and see others smile 'cos I smile. Which brings me to the purpose of this little article. You cannot smile properly, unless you've a nice shiny row of teeth to smile with. Nature has very kindly provided mine, but if she's been cruel to you, why, summon art to your aid, but you should take great care of your own teeth for they are the best of all. Nearly every illness can be traced to decayed teeth, for a tiny black speck on a tooth leads to horrible things. f brush mine three times every day. sometimes more often than that. I mix my own tooth powder but if you glance through the pages of this supplement you will find several proved and excellent dentifrices advertised there. The best thing about these modern preparations is that they prevent decay and the dreaded pyorrhea. It may be bad for the dentistry business but it's good for the purse, believe me. But, however lean your purse may be, try not to let it depress you. I know this is not as easy as it sounds but it's sound advice. I got my first regular engagement because I was the only one in the room of applicants who had a cheerful grin. There was exactly 10 cents in my purse between me and starvation, but I kept smiling. So go thou and do likewise.
