THE TRUE LIFE STORY OF DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS

(Continued from last Wednesday)

A show orer, Douglas Fairbanks would immediately hop a boat and be off-to Spain, to Europe, to. Mexico, anywhere, just to be moving. He has always had a great love for the warm countries. perhaps because he has so much. of the Latin temperament him- self. Many of his greatest movie Inles have been those of heroes with Latin blood in their veinis: "Zorro." "Don Q." "The GauÇÃO”» --and now "Don Juan," hero of a thousand and one love affairs, in "The Private Life of Don Juan,” his newest picture. His passion for Seville, lovely city of roses, caused him to return there again and again and made him thirst to play the gallant role of this most famed of all Spanish ad- venturers.

All of one summer he lived in England, in a little house on the Thames near Great Marlow..... Another summer he was "at lib- erty." and, for the moment, out of pocket. Several friends were sailing for Europe; he wanted, very much to go with them. So he borrowed five hundred dollars from George M. Cohan and ma- de the trip, part of it a walking tour through England. When he returned that autumn to fulfill a theatrical engagement, he paid back the loan to Cohan in dimes. -his idea of a joke, "

Some of his plays were "Clo- thes," in support of Mrs. Brady (Grace George), "The Man of the Hour," "As Ye" Sow," "All for a Girl,The Gentleman from Mis sissippi" In the latter, co-starred with Tom Wise, Doug took the part of a fresh metropolitan news- paper reporter, During recent years he has dealt with many a counter-part of the role he play- ed so convincingly.

It was never claimed that his work as a star "elevated" the drama. Neither good looks nor artistry played the most import- ant part in his success. It was then, as now, the joyousness of the man that got him over. He is the living, breathing proof of the value of a grin. He never ap peared in a play that was not whole-some, stimulating and help- ful; and he was always willing to let the whole world see every tooth in his head.

COLOUR IN THE CINEMA

New systems of filming in colour are still being reported. One of "the most recent is stated to be only 20 per cent, more expensive than the ordinary film. Expense, of course, has been the great ob- stacle to this further improvement

The current Fairbanks play, "A Gentleman of Leisure," was not quite the success its notices had promised. With his cigar at its lowest angle of depression, Mr. Brady asked if the contract be- tween them, which still had some time to run, might be allowed to terminate.****

Doug grinned. Here was a man after his own heart! This was so much in his own happy man- ner of doing things. Of course the contract could terminate, and should, forthwith, he heartily agreed. It would give him a chance to go somewhere. They parted, Doug all but thanking Brady for fixing it so that he had no job.....

M. Cohan enthusiastically, "You're the typical young American! We'll open Thanksgiving night,”

It was "then" October. While waiting for Cohan to write the play, Doug went for a long walk. He went to Cuba and walked across the island; from there he shipped to Yucatan and walked from Progresso to Merida. When he came back, the play was still unfinished.

"I can't get my hero out of the drawing room, Cohan complain-

Where was Fairbanks?....... Oh, Fairbanks got tired of wait- Ing; he had pranced off to Chic- ago, where he was appearing in "Officer 686." And after that, Ne was scheduled to do "Hawthorne of the U.-S. A‚”.......

But this time the movies set their trap with attractive bait. "Come over to us," they said, "and we'll let you do anything... you want. Outside of poison gas and actual murder, the sky's the lim It."

Without even waiting to kick off his shoes, Doug made a dive. For

the first time in his life he would really be able to let go, to turn the world upside down if he chose. It sounded like the perfect outlet for his energy and ideas...of course he'd have to start at the bottom, they explained. Doug grinned.
