Answer to $3.50, 900 In,
junction Lawsuit.

NEW YORK, March 2.-Douglas
Fairbanks. the film actor, put II on
record in the supreme court here
that there was a time when he just
hated the movies. Perhaps that was
why Justice Hotchkiss reserved de-
cision following argument on the
motion of the Majestic Motion Pic
ture Company for an Injunction re-
straining Doug from acting as hero
and general bouncer for another
company.
The court viii require time to di-
gest and memorize Doug's recipe for
putting a feature film over success
fully, which the actor made part or
his supplementary answer to show
why the movie officials themselves
let him out OF his contract and why
they shouldn't be allowed to collect
$3.50, 900 out of his pay envelope for
breach of contract. His adherence
to the agreement, ne maintained.

Doug confesses. "my life had been do

Then he saw GrIffith's picture,
"The Birth OF q Nation" and from
that time forth he was q changed

sought under Griffith's guidance to
make a dent on the drama Fair
banks says he emphasized the crying
need for Griffith in his life before the
camera. In order to reveal to the
court, the essentials for SUCCESSFUL
director Doug outlined the basis for
a film that will keep box office and
audience happy. In enect his re-
quirements were:

could attend these things and still
escape being a nervous wreck. Un-
der his tutelage, Fairbanks became
quite reconciled to acting for the
films, especially after seeing his own
performances on the screen. Griffin
he held, was also a financial barom-
eter as to the stability of any com
company with which he was connected.
But in May last, Fairbanks says, he
learned that the producer had left
1 the company, the difficulties OF put
ting on his plays increased, and he
considered himself privileged to leave
the fold, too.
