In the title rol<*, Fairbanks is transplanted in Eng

him gentle in manner and addicted to such affecta

Coming back to America, he tried to work the same
thing here—but a girl crossed his path who liked
“ live ones” and the hot house flower became a live
volcano. Doug’s transformation and thrilling ad
ventures made this a great picture.
