Advertising Section 95 Ask Us Now This test will delight you Romances of Famous Film Folk Continued from page 86 Conrad Nagel comes of a fine and artistic family. His father was a pianist, his mother a singer, and they frequently did concert work together. Nagel, senior, was also head of the musical department in Highland Park College, Des Moines, Iowa. From the time he was fourteen years old Conrad took part in all sorts of amateur theatricals, principally at school. "I used to build the scenery, play in the piece, and write all the newspaper notices," he said to me. '"Of course the notices were the best I have ever had, and naturally my pictures got into the local papers oftener than anybody else's did." Conrad graduated from college at seventeen, carrying off honors in academic subjects as well as having become a musician and an actor. The very next day after graduation he went to work as an actor with a Des Moines stock company, playing small parts and old men at first and then playing juveniles. Afterward he went to New York and entered vaudeville, remaining in that work for six months. Then he got a chance to play juveniles in New York, finally landing in Richard Bennett's role in "Damaged Goods." From that time on he was a success. "We came to California to make one picture," said Mr. Nagel. "And then baby Ruth came along, and I think we won't ever want to leave," said Mrs. Nagel. Just then baby Ruth awoke in her basket and crowed as the California sun shone into her pretty eyes. "It's unanimous !" grinned papa Nagel. You Have to Weep, to Be a Star Continued from page 48 When you see Hopper and other directors who use a similar procedure working with an actress to produce tears you would suspect that the two principals were going through a romantic love scene instead of a mere process of mental suggestion. The words that suggest the emotion are spoken in a whisper. Oftentimes the director will hold the actress' hands or put his arm around her shoulder as he talks. His face will reflect the intensity of his desire to sketch clearly the pathetic moment in the drama. The girl's eyes will gradually begin to kindle with the light of grief. Finally, after the words have had their effect and the actress has burst into tears, he will back away and give instructions for the scene. Again we offer, and urge you to accept, this new teeth-cleaning method. Millions now employ it. Leading dentists, nearly all the world over, are urging its adoption. The results are visible in whiter teeth wherever you look today. Bring them to your people. The war on film Dental science has declared a war on film. That is the cause of most tooth troubles. And brushing methods of the past did not effectively combat it. Film is that viscous coat you feel. It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. Then night and day it may do serious damage. 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. Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Very few people have escaped the troubles caused by film. Two film combatants Now two combatants have been found. Many careful tests have proved their efficiency. A new-day tooth paste has been created, and these two filmcombatants are embodied in it. The paste is called Pepsodent. ■Jll^ ^BHMBHM^HMBM PAT.

Now every time you brush your teeth you can fight those film-coats in these effective ways. Also starch and acids Another tooth enemy is starch. It also clings to teeth, and in fermenting it forms acids. To fight it Nature puts a starch digestant in saliva. She also puts alkalis there to neutralize the acids. Pepsodent multiplies the salivary flow. It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva. It multiplies the alkalis. Thus these teeth protecting forces, twice a day, are much increased.
