CHI HATS
ON
TEETH
BY The Rex Dental Co.
Firm
Teeth

I If the Alveolar Teeth which we
supply were not solid and firm
they would be failure. Artificial
teeth that are put into the mouth
simply to fill Up a vacancy are a
delusion and snare and a fraud
in the bargain.
1t has always been more or less
of mystery to people who read
about this work which we do, for
the first time, to know how we
can make teeth stick in the mouth
without using the ordinary meth
ods such as plates or bridge work.
That, of course, is our secret, but
the fact that we do restore teeth
and make them firm and solid in
the mouth where there are two
or more teeth to work with and
that we do not resort to. plate or
ordinary bridge work is evidence
enough that the work is satis-
factory.
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. /, 1907.
Rex Dental Co., Los Angeles.
Gentlemen: I am glad to assure you
that the work done for me by the
Alveolar Method is perfectly satisfac-
tory
Having had two bridges that were
uncomfortable, and in every way unsat-
isfactory, am in a position to recog-
nize and appreciate good work when
get 1t. Yours truly,
MRS. A. o. JOHNSON,
sol Euclid Ave-, City.
Sometimes the impression OBJ
tains that we perform surgical
operation to put these teeth in
the mouth. We want to deny this
most emphatically. There is no
boring into the gums, no cutting
of the gums; no implantation,
pain or discomfort of any kind
is connected with the work.
| When the work is completed the
patient can leave our offices and
begin using these teeth with per-
feet comfort, and he will continue
to use them with comfort from
that time forth. This is a remark
able statement and is worthy of
investigation.
If you are the victim of loose
teeth, decayed teeth or missing
teeth, we want you to come to
our offices and allow us to make
a careful examination of your
case. This service is entirely
free and carries with it no obliga-
ton to have any work done.
If it is not possible for you to
come at the present time, send
for our book, "Alveolar Dentis-
try which goes into full partic--
ulars regarding this wonderful
achievement in the science OF
dentistry. The reading of this
book brings us patients from all
over America and Canada. We
send It free of any charge, to-
gether with book of testimo-
mails from people who have had
the work done and who will be
very glad to answer any ques-
tions you may wish to put to
them in advance regarding the
A1veolar Method.

Although o deyout admirer of
Shakespeare as literary personality,
Charles b. Hanford always avoids any
discussion of the Baconian theory. A

which Mr.. Hanford occasionally deliv-

preached him with the query: Don't

Just little to do with the writing of

Wilton Il Kaye, secretly irritated by

MISS ROBERTS TO
PRESENT NEW PLAY

UCHAM," new society comedy by
Geraldine Bonner and Elmer b.
~ Harris will have It's first presen-
tation on any stage at the Los Angeles
theater Thursday night, with MISS
Florence Roberts in the leading role.
Miss Roberts part Is that of young
woman of good family who has been
brought up with one fixed idea that she
must marry man of wealth. She is
society girl whose training has tausnt
her to regard man merely as conVeni-
ence a creature whose duty 1t is 10
supply her and others like her with the
luxuries OF modern civilization.
The play shadows forth this attitude.
1t shows us the girl as finished pro-
duct of her environment and trainingi
not realizing the baseness of her course; I;
selfish, regardful only for her own COM
forts a drfter upon the social current.
To her comes a young Croesus of the
west, untutored. uncultured and Of sur
passing ugliness of features. A marriage
is in prospect when suddenly the girl
finds herself in lbve with Tom Jaffray.
an engineer in the employ of Croesus
senior. There are interruptions to this
love- as a matter of course, but in the
end Jaffray marres the girl who dis
covers before 1t is too late that her life
had been "sham," and who finds cour-
age enough to remedy 1t.
Recently Miss Roberts has been identi-
fled chiefly whit emotional roles. Local
theater-goers. however, whose memories
carry them back a few years to the days
of her engagement as leading woman at
the Burbank will remember that she had
pretty knack for comedy and will look
forward with lively anticipation to seeing
her again in lighter role than recent
theatrical fate has entrusted to her
hands.
Miss Roberts expects to present the
play in New York later.
Both Miss Bonner and Mr.. Harris
have attained considerable success In
the field of short stories and as dramatic
critics. This play, however is their first
work in collaboration In addition to her
short stories and essays Miss Bonner is
the author of "Tomorrows Tangles,"
''Rich Mems Children" and other novels:
while Mr.. Harris has recently completed
a play for Olga Nethersole, which will
be produced in the east before spring.

can safely say that the actor and actress

thought upon which you VIII enlarge, ana
with your brilliant power of oratory drive
home lesson that will never be forgot
ten.
I'm the first place. let me say that the
people of the church seem to look upon
an actor or an actress as different kind
of human being and sometimes when
have heard them express themselves
have wondered whether or not they con-
sidered them human at all.
"Stage folk have hearts as we'll as

like owing to travelling. You are Bap-

Actors In the Church
This leads me to reply to your first
question: Would actors resent an inyi-
tation, when they are in place. to at
tend a certain churchT Certainly not. On
the other hand, think they would ap-
preciate the kindly thought of them and
many would accept If they thought that
the invitation was sincere and they would
not have to listen to minister denounce

them to everlasting punishment for fol-
lowing a profession which they. or at
least some of them, think they are called
to as much as any minister of the gospel.
Moreover, / do not know of profess
sional worker who would welcome the
sweet, restful atmosphere of place of
worship more than the actor or actress.
They have more or less strain In portray
ing other characters. When they are
themselves again they are tired. their
nerves unstrung. In this condition, then,
fancy the sweet repose that would come
to them within the sacred walls and when
the beautiful tones of the organ peal forth
and they Join in the singing of Jesus.
lover OF my soul, let me to thy bosom

Your second question:: DO any attend
church services? Can you make a guess
at the percentage?' Yes, many attend
church, but as to the percentage l would
not dare make a statement as I havent t
any more idea of that than I would have
of the percentage of any other profess
sion or class of people.
you ask me: rs the theater business
out of harmony with the teaching and
spirit of Christ? 1 cannot see why it
should be. Please do not misunderstood
me. You know there are just as many
kinds of theatrical businesses as there are
creeds.
There are many engaged in the the
atrical business who uplift their fellow
men and women. while l regret to say
that there are others who don't care
whether they uplift or degrade, so you
must not put them all in one class
For instance, take Mr.. Savage who
has produced some of the cleanest plays
that this country has ever. SEEN You
