FAIRBANKS LATEST
VERY STRENUOUS
Doug" Adds New UntOld-Of Stunts
To His Long List Of Clever
Accom- plishmeRts

The strenuous Fairbanks, whose
surname is Doug, has pulled ar
other thriller in producing his sec
ond independently produced picture
for United Artists, When the Clouds
Roll By. which will be shown at the
Strand Theatre on August i2.
Doug" has bad habit of doing
unusual things but he exceeded ex-
pectations' this time, despite the fact
that we were told that this was his
best production.
The most unusual feature about the
picture Is the subject treated-Super-
stitions. It's a touchy theme TO say
the least because Of the millions Of
people in the country who really be-
lieve that they wont be married for
seven years II they break n mirror,
that they will have bad luck II a black
cat crosses their path or that they
will have a quarrel II they spill salt
and all the other hundred and one
superstitious jinxs. But the way
Doug" handles the material Is Just
to the liking Of everyone, and more
over he comes through this terrible
doings with the same optomistic
smile and good will expression that
he always does, smashing to smith
Greens all the old hoax stuff
The big impression Of this produc-
ton is the massive setting that he
constructed TO make the picture. The
final set alone. an entire town. which
was built just 80 that Doug" could
stage realistic food the like Of
which was never seen before on the
screen. or even as much as conceived
wns wonderful. This unusual back.
ground served for the dramatic eli
max Of the story and gave Doug"
the most remarkable setting he has
ever had TO do stunts that were all
new to his following.
People who miss this production
are missing the greatest Fairbanks
treat Of their lives. This is the sec
ond independent, picture Doug has
made for United Artists and II goes
now without argument that he has ac-
,compished more iu his last two pic
lures as an independent producer than
he did in any Of his previous ones.
