At one of the outlying theaters it was used as a curtain raiser, so to speak, for “The Circus,’ which two young- sters had come to see. They were at first bored by the historical sub- ject but became engrossed in the scene where Napoleon decides to divorce Josephine. The actor depicting the Emperor made it quite tragic.

Teeth so white YE 4 out of 5 get Pyorrhea EEMINGLY safe with teeth so white, 4 out of 5 after forty, and thousands younger, find themselves vic- tims of Pyorrhea.
