CIRCLE Douglas Fairbanks makes his reappearance as "Old Doc Cheer ful" in "The Knickerbocker Buckaroo" which will be shown at the Circle today and tomorrow. The moral of this story is that doing something for somebody is a worthy and laudable ambition, but that unselfishness can sometimes be carried too far, and unless guided by calm Judgment, may bring the unselfish one results he doesn't expeci, and, sec ondly, that the proper place to start any reconstruction in character is at home. Douglas plays the part of Teddy Drake, wealthy New Yorker, who de cides that his life is all wrong because of his selfish qualities and starts out to do unselfish things in the world, whloh gets him Into a series of amusingly complicated situations laid in the west.
