Doug's Castle Of
Dreams Realized

T.y VERYONE Of US. at one
~ time or another, has al.
lowed his thoughts to
drift back ito the days Of old
when knights were bold'' and
have let the imagination rum riot
in seeking to picture those olden
times. And always in our dreams,
there was the picturesque castle
where the bold knights and their
ladies lived and brea1hed q life
Of romance.
At last that dream castle is q
reality When Douglas Fairbanks
undertook to make the produc-
ton. Robin Hood. the first
thing he wanted In that picture
was just such castle.
To irwin J. Martin, VINO IL
responsible for the designs of
the atmospheric setting and eff
fects for Robin Hood" which
opens at Loew's Columbia this
AFTERNOON, must go the credit for
this picturesque old castle.
It is hard to describe ade-
quately this dignified old fortress

quarters Is the banquet haIl-and

Not AI1vays the
Good Old DAYS

IN RANK HARCOURT at the
Gayety this week admits
that the Washington nf
today is one Of the best cities
in the world. but he does cling
to his story that the washington
of bygone dogs -say twenty years
iagowas the scene OF many mis-
haps and hardships for him.
Recalling his unpleasant mem
cries, Mr.. Harcourt always re.
lates how his first mishap really
came about.
After an exciting ride from
Baltimore exciting because his
company was short two railroad
tickets and all the members of
the company had to financially
assist the manager OF the troupe
to buy the lacking tickets-he
was ushered into thes Bijou thea
ter. now the old Folly. Business,
however, didn't prove to- be quite
as successful as had been antici-
pated and as a result OF unsatis-
factory patronage, the show was
forced to close-at the request OF
the marshal"
Needless to say, the perform
ers OF twenty years ago didn't
enjoy the salaries paid to thea
trical people today and Harcourt
was one who was hit hard
financially. AT that time, a new
palm garden was to open soon
and Harcourt succeeded in get
ting an engagement as . song
and dance artist which lasted
three weeks, and with only eight
dollars in his pockets he LEFT for
a small Virginia town where
tent attraction was playing. Much
to his dismay the show wasn't
in the town. After much worry
and grief, with the banlroll
speedily diminishing, he finally
found the show and started back
to prosperity.
