George Beban and his company,

at the Muse today, Monday and Tues
day, had for few minutes, the laugh
on a local attorney Later the Incl

stage wife sues him for divorce, Civ

temperament" That the papers might
be properly drawn a lawyer was en-

written pages of legal matter pertain

by all who read it to be masterpiece
of legal literature, but only the word
"incompatibility" was photographed.
Beban and his company had a great
deal of fun picturing the lawyer pac-

friends, whom he had told of this mas

Doug Fairbanks, Comet Of
FjImdOm, in His Own Work

A little over year ago a smiling
young American stage favorite started
to work on his first motion picture.
He hoped it would be a good one, as
did his director and the company that
hired him, but no one could tell i'll
advance, as many a dramatic favorite
had tried the screen test and failed.
This was Douglas Fairbanks, and
his first picture, The Lamb"
1t is needless to dwell upon the
swiftness with which Fairbanks cap
tured filmdom, ere his third and
fourth pictures were made; merely
the announcement Fairbanks meant
capacity business and his\ features
were in constant demand.
But why shouldn't the Fairbanks
pictures be popular? Fairbanks
doesn't tire you with emotional or
problem plays, but with live, virile
stories teeming with good nature,
cheefulness, athletics and just enough
love thrown in to make the stories
human.
Fairbanks is popular with ali
classes of picture-goers, One young
ster right here in Omaha asked his
father the other day, "Why President
Wilson didn't send Douglas Fair
banks over to whip the Germans-that
he could do it." Then there's the
Fairbanks smile-no matter what dif-
iculty encounters him. you'll always
see that wonderful smile, and making
