AZTECS FIRST CHEWgD GUM.
The\Aztecs of Mexic^r are said to
have been the firsjt/^gum chewers
knows. Th'»^£<iU<^vers of Cortez re-
ported that the Indians chewed a gum
to quench thirst and relieve exhaus-
tion. They obtained it from the sapote
,mous woman in the world. Olga
Hethersole and Clara Morris also
ined international renown in “Ca-
ille.”
The popularity of the story increas-
es with the years. MCamille” is no
fantastic romance; it is taken from
life. A human document. The true
I story of a lovely, loving woman, who
lived, who adored and who died. Mar-
guerite Gauthier was not an imagin-
j ary person. In life she was- Marie
I Duplessis and was the reignfng beau-
j ty of Paris. While most authors de-
pend upon their imagination for ma-
terial for a story, the younger Dumas
, relates the incidents from his own i
] early life. |
