RUSHING WORK ON NEW PICTURE
FAIRBANKS’S LATEST Douglas Fairbanks is hurrying his next picture into production, and it will go before the cameras within a few weeks. It will be a sequel to “The Three Musketeers,” and is still unnamed. Jack Cunningham, scenarist for “Don Q” and “The Black Pirate,” is at work on the new story, co-operating with the Fairbanks scenario staff. 1 Fairbanks’s idea is to continue the adventures of D’Artagnan and “The Three Musketeers,” gathering most of his material from “Memoirs of D’Artagnan” and from contemporary memoirs.
Sam Taylor will probably be the director. He is now finishing “Tempest,” with John Barrymore, but if negotiations are completed he will transfer his megaphone to the Fairbanks set shortly.
In that case Taylor will become the only director to have handled both Fairbanks and Mary Pickford. He directed “My Best Girl.” His own organisation, including Allen McNeill, story constructor, “Lucky” Humberstone, assistant director, and Cora Balmatier, scrip clerk, would accompany Taylor to the new assignment.
