The story, he explained to me, was that of a cowboy who loves a girl who craves romance. She wants him to be Romeo to her Juliet. So, after combing the small town to get a copy of the play, he goes to sleep reading it, and dreams that he is the hero of the drama to the characters of the play. The girl he loves is Juliet; the drug-store clerk, his rival, becomes Paris — played by Raymond Hatton — and his cow-puncher friends are transformed by tights and velvet cloaks. The episode is played rather broadly, with modern subtitles, many of which Mr. Rogers himself has supplied. The story is more than half his own, he having given the sug gestion for it to Elmer Rice who put it in continuity form. "I have to fence in this picture. The only fencing I ever did before was with barbed wire and a pair of pliers. "The French fencing instructor got excited trying to show me how to handle the foil, and shouted, 'Lunge !' Darned if all the company didn't stop work and run for the restaurant." He sidetracked back to the subject of "improving" a picture. "They have a habit around here of offering twenty-five dollars reward to any one who can think up a better title for a picture than the one it already has. They bought 'The Poor Relation' the other day for my next picture. And there on the billboard was the notice, 'Twenty-five dollars reward for a better title.' I wrote underneath it, "Twenty-five hundred dollars reward for a better title than 'The Poor Relation.' And I see t'-day that they're goin' to let it ride." Will Rogers is the same off the screen as on. Simple, straightforward, shy with women, a regular fellow with men. His pet stamping ground is the Goldwyn barber shop, where he always drops in after lunch, and where the studio force gathers to hear the latest Rogersisms. They all call him "Bill." "Makes me feel Hke the first of the month," he remarked. When lunch was over — happily over for him, I've no doubt — he gathered his velvet mantle around him awkwardly and started for the door. Raymond Hatton was coming into the dining room. Will Rogers surveyed him intently. "So this is Paris!" he said. Here is a new way of teeth cleaning — a modern, scientific way. Authorities approve it. Leading dentists everywhere advise it. Ask for this ten-day test. Watch the results of it. See for yourself what it means to your teeth — what it means in your home. The film problem Film has been the great tooth problem. A viscous film clings to your teeth, enters crevices and stays. Old ways of brushing do not effectively combat it. So millions of teeth are dimmed and ruined by it. Film absorbs stains, making the teeth look dingy. 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. Germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Thus most tooth troubles are now traced to film. Combat it daily Dental science has now found ways to daily combat that film. Careful tests have amply proved them. They are now embodied, with other most important factors, in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. PsBBsanE^aa^^^n^ PAT. OFF ■ REG. U.S. %nVU. H'lfU-'-H.Jrn.WiJMB^— ^^ME^^^ The New-Day Dentifrice A scientific film combatant, whose every application brings five desired effects. Approved by highest authorities, and now advised by leading dentists everywhere. All druggists supply the large tubes. Millions of people now use this tooth paste, largely by dental advice. A 10Day Tube is now sent free to everyone who asks. Its five effects Pepsodent combats the film in two effective ways. It highly polishes the teeth, so film less easily adheres. It stimulates the salivary flow — Nature's great tooth-protecting agent. It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva, to digest starch deposits that cling. It multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva, to neutralize the acids which cause tooth decay. Modern authorities deem these effects essential. Every use of Pepsodent brings them all.
