Just one thing prevented Doug
las Fairbanks from attending the
successful premier of his new pic
ture, Don O., Son Of Zorro" at

June Is.
That was. Mary Pickford.
Miss Pickford was busy editing
her new picture, Little Annie

Hollywood. Doug would not go
without her. And so he missed
a Fairbanks premier in New York
for the first time in several years.
IT would have enjoyed being in
New York for the opening" Doug
said. "It is the first / have
missed in my last four pictures.
But If Ishad five pictures opening
there on the same night, l would
not go without Mary.
So that was that.
Color experiments on Doug's
next picture, THE Black Pirate"
have been under way for a
month now. The experts in
charge hope to get color som
bipation that viii not detract
from the story itself. To do
this they must avoid all vivid
colors, and have just the proper
blend Of shades.
1t is expected that another
month will pass before the expert
ments are completed. 1t Is hoped
to start shooting early in July.
