How does she do it? The secret is simply that she plans exactly how each hour is to be spent, and adheres to a daily schedule. There are no wasted hours in this woman's life. No indeed, for Mme. Lehmann is not con- tent to only re-create great roles on the operatic stage. She has always felt a driving desire to create some thing entirely her own. A book, a poem, redecorating a room, or some- thing.

Ovaltine for Energy
says Muriel Angelus
Like so many "stars" of stage and screen, Muriel Angelus is enthusiastic in her praise of 'Ovaltine'. She writes:-
“I would like to let you know that I have tried many things in the endeavour to get rid of that feeling of utter exhaustion after a long and tiring day at the theatre. I have found 'Ovaltine' to be the only thing that gives one the necessary energy to carry on. Its reviving and refreshing effects are marvellous. Radiant vitality, healthy nerves, sound sleep every night · ‘Ovaltine' ensures them all. It is a scienti- fically perfect food supremely rich in all the nutritive elements needed to build up body, brain and nerves. Remember there is nothing just as good" as there 'Ovaltine".
