Advertising Section 93 May and the Bridal Path Continued from page 33 •licking camera in front of me and i director telling me what to do with ny hands and feet, I get terribly [self-conscious." Little May Collins found no mountains in her path to success. Not =ven so much as a pebble of an obstacle. She was going to boarding school in New York and by chance met a girl who was going the rounds of the managerial offices looking for work. Instantly May was stagestruck. She asked the girl for a list of the managers and the girl with a |cynical smile gave it to her. The next day she took the first one on the list — Mother Collins knew nothing of all this, by the way — and it happened that this particular manager |was about to stage Maeterlinck's ''The Betrothal." He wanted about | forty girls of certain height and comjplexion as supers for the production i|and when he looked May up and :down he thought she'd do and told her to come back the next day. "And when I went back the next day, what do you think happened? One of the girls who had an important part was ill or something, and the manager had me read the lines. He was satisfied and engaged me on the spot. Talk about luck !" So little May Collins at the tender age of — there, I almost gave it away —opened on Broadway in a part which many a more experienced actress might have envied. Then she ingenued in two Broadway successes, was engaged by a stock company in I Baltimore to do ingenue leads and baby vamps and went back to New York to play in "The Outrageous Mrs. Palmer." That was when Anita Loos found her and brought her to the Coast. Hollywood gossips are wondering whether the fact that she is playing in "The Bridal Path" may not be a 'prophetic coincidence. They wonder if she will play the lead in another "bridal-path" romance. One • can't help wishing that it might be so ; she is the kind of a story-book girl of whom you'd like to read — "and she lived happily ever after."

Test Told Millions the way to pretty teeth Millions of people have already made this simple ten-day test. And the glistening teeth you see everywhere now are largely the result of this method. We urge you to make it. Then see and feel how your teeth conditions change. Must fight film You must fight film to keep your teeth whiter, safer and cleaner. Film is that viscous coat you feel. It clings to teeth, gets between the teeth and stays. The tooth brush, used in old ways, does not remove it all. So very few people have escaped the troubles caused by film. It is the film-coat that discolors, not the 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. And all these troubles have been constantly increasing. To daily combat it Dental science has for years been searching for a daily film combatant. It has now been found. Careful tests under able authorities have amply, proved its efficiency. Leading dentists everywhere now advise its use. The methods are embodied in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. And to millions of people, here and abroad, it has brought a new era in teeth cleaning. Ask for this ten-day test Ask for a ten-day test. Then judge by what you see and feel how much this method means. Each use of Pepsodent brings five desired effects. It attacks the film in two efficient ways. It leaves the teeth so highly polished that film cannot easily adhere. It multiplies the salivary flow — Nature's great tooth-protecting agent. It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva, to digest starch deposits that cling and may form acid. It multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva, to neutralize the acids which cause tooth decay. These results all accord with modern dental requirements. Everybody, every day, should get them. Send the coupon for the 10-day Tube. Note how clean the teeth feel after using.
