DOl'MliAH FAIRBANKS AT
THIS AIHADIS THEATHH
At the Ar;ade Ijieatre, commenc
ing todny for a two days run only,
Douglas Fairbanks, tho popular ex
ponent ot tho sin He, appears In Ills
second production released, by Art
craft Pictures, entitled "Wild nnd
Woolly," Tho scenario, brimful of
typical Fairbanks humor, by Anita
Loos, authoress of many of his psst
successes, has been produced under
tho direction or John Emerson and
discloses Douglas In what is felt to
be Ills greatest portrayal.
For tills film the strenuous actor
producer has been practicing stunts
since last Biimiucr and even while op
pcarlnB before the camera In other
pictures Ills lariat was always nearby
so that ho could try new tricks when
ever ho has had a few minutes to
spare. Ono evening- a Mend found
him in his New York apartment, at
tired In dross-rlotheB preparatory to
attending- a social affair, lassoing tho
door-knob while waiting. Whenovor
he found an opportunity for out-door
work tho ambitious actor hired a
pony to practice western tricks. As
a result of all this training, for It was
Just that, the athletic screen favor
ite presents In "Wild and Woolly"
a remarkable display of cow-boy ac
complishments depicted In his own
Inimitable stylo.
Starting la New York nnd ending
In California, the picture discloses' a
variety of metropolitan and western
scenes presenting the proper back
grounds of the story. As the youth
of metropolitan birth who finally re
alizes his ambition to ride the plains
of the West astride a bucking bron
cho, Douglas Fairbanks offers a won
derfully offontlve plcturlsatlon In the
role of Joff Hllllngton, Jeff's vis
tous,jif life in the West are baBod
entirely upon tho gaudy oovcrs of
ton-cent weeklies which he has been
reading since early boyhood. He
pictures tho West today oxaotly ns
photographs show It to have been In
the early eighties. Friends in Ari
zona plan to live up to his expecta
tions and to their own surprise things
turn out more seriously than thoy
anticipated. The story ends, after
iimny amusing as well as thrilling
situations, with Jeff as the man of
tho hour. An nblo cast appears In
support of tho stnr, Including Eileen
Percy, Wnlter Bytell, Joseph Single
ton, Cnlvln Carter, Forest Soahury,
J. W. Jones, Charles Stevens, Sam do
Ginsso and Tom Wilson.

Lynn F. Reynolds sticks to the
"simple life" In his stories for the
scroeu and in producing "Southern
Justice," to be displayed at the Star
theatre on Tuesday and Wednesday
ho has selected Kentucky ns tho loca
tion of a moat interesting narrative,
devoid of crimo or villlany and con
fined to the reflection of life In n
small town. Three old cromcH, n
cobbler, the printer and a retired
judge take upon themselves tho re
sponsibility of educating nn orphaned
boy nnd seeing to it thai ho accom
plishes his purpoKe In life. This hoy
by tho exercise of his common sense,
plus a little good detective work
saves tho villagers from the finan
cial disaster and likewise untangles
tho skeins of a lovo affair that has
gone awry. Thoro Is no great "prob
lem" solved In "Southern Justice,"
no deep laid crimes to bo punished or
nny very serious vlllinny to be un-
tnniikcd. Decnuae of Its simplicity
and its truthful reflections of life in
a small town, "Southern Justice" will
nppenl moro to "film fans" than most
talcs of Intrigue or the plctoral solv
ing of "society" tangles.
