Doue's S Birthday.

WHEN Douglas Fairbanks dashed

the other morning he beheld queer
looking circular box in the center
of the pool. Diving in. he investi-
gated closer and discovered that by
coming up underneath the box he
was in a glass case, through which
he beheld fantastic miniature city
with queer fish swimming about.
About that time he realized that
1t was his birthday. The Pirates
City" installed in the swimming pool
was an idea of Mary Pickford's, and
once ashore again he found a set
of garden furniture made from bam-
boo and rawhide, with weird pi-
rates heads carved on the arms of
the chairs-all in keeping with the
pirate story Doug is to make next.
At the studio was an immense
pirate feet high, made of Pinch
planks, and a set of knives to throw
at him. Which would indicate that
Doug is to lay aside the rapier and
bull whip and take up knife throw
ing.
Mary Pickford stopped work in
honor of the day, and a sort of a
gala celebration, which eliminated

result.
