THREE STARS.

“His Picture in the Papers.”—

Douglas h airbanKs, whose genial smile is such an asset in gaining the goodwill of his audience, made his

t-acatrical debut fourteen years ago. Since entering motion picture work, Fairbanks has made such a hit that he will coniine himself solely to that field for the next three years in Triangle plays under the direction of D. W. Griffith. Since 1901 h e has supported the most prominent stars, on the speaking stage and has been a star in his own right. For several years he played in many successful pieces. Among those was “Officer 666,” the play made familiar here fay Fred Niblo. Fairbanks was also a Broadway vaudeville idol. His screen appearances in the Dominion have been “The Lamb,” “The Good-Bad Man,” and “The Half-Breed.” At the Three Stars this popular artist will appear in “His Picture in the Papers,” portraying* the story of a ne’er-do-well son of a food products king. The >oung man is forced to do something for the family name before he can marry the girl of his choice. His efforts to gain the notoriety his rtarents demands leads to a most aliasing set of incidents forming what is claimed to be an exceedingly novel comedydrama. The picture is a “Griffith production, and the supporting subjects are good.
