shirts, for instance, and in every case
the increase would be dollar "a, doz-

DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS
film HAS BACKGROUND
FULL OF CHEERFULLNESS
Builds Ideal Mexican Town For
ArtCraft's 1.-THE knicker-
booker Buckaroo."

Artistic Photography is quite in
vogue but Douglas Fairbanks believes
in bright, cheerful backgrounds for
his particular type Of pictures, rather
than the dim, indefinite settings
characteristic of some film produc-
tions. 1t is his theory that to try to
spread the gospel of good cheer in a
dark room is even more ridiculous
than expecting people to laugh during
funeral procession.
Therefore his new photoplay, 1.-THE
Knickerbocked BucKaroo," which will
be shown at the Palace Theatre
tomorrow is laid in bright cheerful
interiors He had an idealistic Mexi-
can town built in preference to the
typical setting that usually exploits
negligence and filth on the part OF
the natives and is bound to be dis
tasteful to screen patrons. This town
was erected on the side Of a Califor-
mia hill, vivid With colorful touches
that are pleasing, and automatically
have effect on the action of the play.
The new picture is said to be based
on sound constructive philosophy, not
of preachery nature, but treated in
a comedy dramatic spirit. Fairbanks
believed that the peopel Of America
like to laugh. He likes to laugh. Il
braces him up and makes him feel
fine and keeps him in prime mental
condition. To him, laughter is a ne
cessity. His nervous system requires
it, and it is the object of his new pic
ture to make everybody laugh, wit
the hope that it will bring happy
mment to those who know for the
most part only sorrow and discntent.

BUILDING BOOM
BREAKS RECORDS

New York, August 1O.-In the face
of housing shortage which has
brought despair to hundreds of home
seekers in the big cities of the east,
figures were made public here today
showing that all high records for build
ing operations in the United States
east of the Mississippi river have been
smashed during the last seven months
! tt answer. to the apparent con
tradition, acco. ling to data collected
by F. w. Dodge & Co., who have
been collecting figures on industrial
progress, is that while building loans
were fairly easy to get the builders
of warehouses, factories, public build
ings, hotels and skyscrapers the man
who wanted to construct residences
or apartment houses usually found the
money market closed.
The Dodge company's figures show
that the present boom in building is
20 per cent above the total for the
same period of 1918, and shows no
signs of diminution. Since January
1 contracts and material supply men
are said to be expecting a continual
ton of the a normal actively for a
period of three to five years.
