Miss Brady docs the best bit of work of her career in this picture and the attrac tion itself is so big and brilliant that It is certain to interest and entertain .everyone. - Friday and Saturday, at the Arcade. In his newest photoploy, "Mr. Fix it," Douglas Fairbanks has an unique role which, it is said, affords so many nrnrira n In entitle the nortrnval ti the distinction of beinir not only one I bf the best in which this athletic star j!&r --hits" appeared,' bus1 one- whose spirit is distinctly new In picture pho tography. From the slums In' which Mr. Fairbanks bnttles desperately with gangsters and slides down the side of n house on a clothesline to an artistic home, is only a casual step in this pic ture. It is "Mr. Fix-it's" theory that hap piness is a habit and that real happi ness comes to those who make other people happy. . Inpu,ruance of this idea, he enters the dlviIed home of persons of great wealth aihlmillngly proceeds' to, fix things physical and mental, which iu his judgment'are in need of repair. "Thatj are two pretty vmintv women in. the 'b&rtv who, ul- fhnmrh r.nfrnirprl to' he ndrtttied. are) kent in hot water through fear, of their future as the wives of tiitl respective fiances.- The genial heart-fixer gets busy along original tines when he learns the stories of the young women, and he is involved in serious trouble by his unique methods, which shock and . nmaic all with whom he comes InJ contact. Hut "Mr. Fix-It" after many; irbuffs which sometimes jar his pet j theory to the breaking point, emerges j triumphant, smiling and happy. Many! of the situations are quite humorous, and nil who know Mr. Fairbanks'! viilulile nature, may be sure that in ' this portrayal, it is not subordinated j t'i other considerations. Mr. Fairbanks is excellently sup- J ported in "Mr. J'ix-lt" the cast includ- j lug many screen favorites such as , Wanda llnwley, Marjorie Ilnw, Cath-! irine Mni-Diinaiil, Frank Cnmpeau, 1-eslie Kluait, Fred Goodwin nnd oth-1 cri.
