This new Artcraft production, which might be called "Doug Reaching for the Moorn" or "Keep Your Feet on the Earth," is another "knockout" to be credited to Fairbanks, the most popular amusement figure in the world today. It has a good story interest with a surprise finish, a strong flavoring of the melodramatic, a pretty heroine, a villainous looking villain, a comic Val entine type of Princess, but above all the picture is a -Vehicle for the grins ftnd gymnastics of Fairbanks, "Old Doc Cheei-rul" of the celluloid drama. "Doug" batters his way to a throne, using naught but his fists and his agile legs when running are most valorous only to discover that the job Of King of Vulgaria, carrying With it hourly visitations from inventive assassins and matrimony with a Prin cess good for no movie job except as a type or freak for slapstick comedy, is not what it was "Cracked up to be."

There is dancing, the Cabaret scene, a romantlo adventure, a happy ending, a bit of risque all punctuated by the fascinating presence and smile of Olive Thomas, the Harri son Fisher girl and former Ziegfeld Follies luminary. While comedy reigns supreme throughout the production there are a few artful touches of pathos which .serve to balanca the huaaoreus alemant nicely, such as Corrlnne'a return home and repudiation by her parents as well as the final love scene with Fenwick which carries a pretty, sentimental ap peal. An atmosphere of suspense i also introduced, the audience being kept completely in the dark as to the goal the advertising managers hope to achieve by their attempt to compromise the supposed millionaire.
