The submarine film has naturally never been very attractive to the regular actor. Very few of them took any interest in playing tag with porpoises, wrestling with an octopus, or poking around in the seaweed for lost dummies. The inexperienced cannot remain under water, either, as long as the regular born-to-wearrubber diver. Tourneur's experiment was carried out with a double in some of the more difficult bits of action, as long sessions under the water were necessary. However, Broerken Christians, who plays the leading role in "Caleb West," took a few jaunts along the submarine highways both for the picture and to get the proper atmosphere. Christians has the temperament of a Danish seaman, even though he has been a motion-picture director. He is about as talkative as a rear admiral in the cockpit. But he found his voice the first time he went under in the diving suit. It seems the primary impression one has is that he isn't getting enough air. He'll keep howling for more, and the more he has the more he wants, because the greater appears to be his sense of suffocation. And that is not the worst that happens, because the biggest surprise of all, after a first venture into the deep, happens after the return to the surface. On getting out of his diving suit Christians found himself staggering around as if he'd just arrived from Havana. "Where did you get it?" asked Tourneur, smiling. "I d-don't know," said the actor. "You've had too much air," said the superintendent of pumping. "Pretty strong air, I'll say," murmured one of the extras, "to give a man a jag like that. Think I'll go down myself." But he didn't. For Christians wasn't enjoying himself a bit, and it was half an hour or more before he could walk a tow-line with ease and discretion. After a second or third visit to the ocean stage, however—because he was game to go through the experience several times —the principal actor found that he had gotten his undersea legs, and he'll probably be a favored star for this type of trouping, because he is one of the few who may qualify as actor and diver. Millions of people on retiring now combat the film on teeth. They fight it day by day. And those glistening teeth seen everywhere now form one of the results. You owe yourself a trial of this new teeth-cleaning method. Dentists everywhere advise it. The results it brings are allimportant, and they do not come without it. What film does Your teeth are coated with a viscous film. Feel it with your tongue. It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. And dentists now trace most tooth troubles to it. The ordinary tooth paste does not end film. So, despite all brushing, much film remains, to cause stain, tartar, germ troubles and decay. It is the film-coat that discolors, not the You will see and feel results from Pepsodent which brushing never brought you heretofore. A week's use, we think, will amaze you. One ingredient is pepsin. One multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva, to digest all starch deposits that cling. One multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva to neutralize mouth acids. Two factors directly attack the film. teeth. 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. Ways to combat it Dental science, after years of research, has found effective ways to fight film. Able authorities have proved their efficiency. Together they bring, in modern opinion, a new era in teeth cleaning. These five methods are combined in a dentifrice called Pepsodent — a tooth paste which complies with all the new requirements: And a ten-day tube is now sent free to everyone who asks. One of them keeps the teeth so highly polished that film cannot easily cling. Watch these effects. Send the coupon for a 10-Day Tube. Note how clean the teeth feel after using.
