Advertising Section 93 Have You Any Whiskers? Continued from page 70 That one is a sea story, with a strong thrill interest. You may find it a bit gloomy in theme, but I think you'll like the fight and the excitement." I said that I was sure I would, but I made a mental reservation that it would be chiefly because I would have a chance to see what kind of whiskers Simpson could produce himself. Also I could easily visualize him in the part of Bunty with his thick, Scotch-looking hair and whiskers to match. Simpson is really a virtuoso at make-up. Up around Ticonderoga, so his friends tell, and he reluctantly admits it himself, the visitors were willing to bet ten dollars that he wasn't made up at all, when they saw him in full beard working in pictures. And he frightened tenderhearted women to death by pulling hair out of, or rather, off his chin. That was before he had returned to California. You see he was born out West — on the bay near San Francisco, in fact. He worked up and down the coast at various employments, and then finally sought to fulfill a juvenile ambition. He got a job in Ralph Stuart's company in "By Right of Sword." He avers that he was a very poor actor at that time, but at the close of the tour a critic in St. Louis gave him a puff that kept his ambition from choking to death. He later tried comic opera — "The Count of Luxembourg." "I didn't have a singing role, though," continued Simpson. "I can't sing and I've got sense enough not to fry. I had one of those incidental talking parts. It helped. "Later I did Bub Hicks in 'The College Widow.' That was just before I went into the pictures. Frank Wonderly, who was playing Silent Murphy in the stage show, got me in. That was in the days when you slid around to the back door of a studio so your friends wouldn't know you were acting in the movies." It almost looks as though Simpson were going to register a rise to stellar fame in the near future. Both in "Bunty Pulls the Strings" and "Godless Men" he plays featured roles. He also has the lead, sans whiskers, in "Out of the Dust," an independent production that ranks highly among the new Westerns. Film fans first became acquainted with Russell's penetrating eyes, his incisive features, and his keen dramatic vigor in "The Brand," the Rex Beach story, which was released about two years ago. Give Her Help Then see what Nature does for teeth This new method of teeth cleaning gives needed help to Nature. High authorities have evolved the principles behind it. Leading dentists everywhere now advise its adoption. And millions of people daily see and feel its good effects. This is to offer a ten-day test so you may know the benefits. That dingy film The chief object is to fight the film on teeth, the cause of most tooth troubles. You feel it now — a viscous coat. It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. The ordinary tooth paste does not end it. Old-wav brushine has left much film intact. So, despite all care, tooth troubles have been constantly increasing. It is the film-coat that 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 it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Must combat it Dental science long has realized that we must combat that film. After years of research it has found the ways. Those ways are combined now in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. And a 10-Day Tube is offered all to show the good effects it brings. Watch the five effects Each use of Pepsodent multiplies the salivary flow. That is Nature's gTeat tooth-protecting agent. It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva. That to digest the starch deposits which otherwise cling and form acid. It multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva. That to neutralize the acids which cause tooth decay. Two factors directly attack the film. One of them keeps teeth so highly polished that film cannot easilv adhere. These effects come from every application. The result is cleaner, whiter, safer teeth than old methods brought. Send the coupon for a 10-Day Tube. Note how clean the teeth feel after using. Mark the absence of the viscous film. See how teeth whiten as the film-coat disappears. The results, plus the scientific reasons for them, will bring to your home a new era in teeth cleaning. Do not delay this important test.
