Eric Von ltroheim thinks that col-

screen actresses. As a training course
{or screen acting. a college education
seems to be an excellent thing." says
Mr. Von Strohelm.
\Vell. far be it from us to argue.
but we bet. that. most of the success-
ful screen actresses could not tell you
the difference between Marc Anthony
and Mark Strand and there would be
plenty who might think that Cicero
is the name of s. new director. Still.
Mr. Von Strohelm is possibly right.
but they will have to change the
courses at college if successful movie
actresses are to be produced.

DOL'GLAS FAIRBANKS, JR . \VITH HIS MOTHER. NOW MRS. JAMES
EVANS.
By JACK JCNGMEYER
HOLLYWOOD. July 7.——-Assurance
and enthusiasm seem to be in the
blood of the Fairbanks. These out-
standing qualities of Doug. Sr. are
equally evident in Doug Jr.. who cs-
tablishes the family as a. movie dyn-
asty by his contract with Famous
Players-Leaky.
At. the ripe age of 13. although he
looks and acts 1?. young Fairbanks
hasn't a doubt that he's going to be—
come a great actor and screen figure
even though he has yet to make his
first bow to the camera. For the
past several years. in school here and
in France. every move he has made,
has been with that end in his rather
precocious mind.
\Vhen asked how long he'd had a
picture career in How. be promptly
replied. "All my life!"—as it decadrs
had rolled over his immature shou‘l-
ders and fine blond head. And he
punctuated it with serious shadows in
his blue eyes.
\ s O O O
Subjeciing young Doug to an in-
terview on his first day in Hollywood
ate. He was holding levee on a
prop box in the Lasky studio. shak~
ing hands with Noah Beery. Lois \Vil-
son. Richard Dix. Ernest Terrence
and others who drifted over from ad-
joining sets.
This plainly was one of the big
moments of his life. long anticipated.
And newspapermen are so unneces-
mry in biglmoments’although Doug
tried to be the pink of courtesy.
Between greetings of friends he told
me a little about his life in France
with his mother. now Mrs. James
Evans. where he‘d been tutored in
French. sculpturing and painting.
O O O
To His “Fall.“
"You know. I taught a lot of

one of his enthusiarms. "They can't
seem to get the hang of pitchingf

can't catch with both hands. but are
good at spearing it with one hand.
"I used to pity the poor French
school boys. They are at. the lessons.
indoors. from 8:30 in the .mornlng un-
til 5:30 at night. with only half an
hour off for lunch and half an hour
for play. That's what makes the
all so thin—not enough fresh air and
exercise. ‘
"But I like the leisure of the peo-
ple. If you have a. dinner engage-
ment for eight. they'll not arrive un-
til nine. They take life easier than
we do here—and that makes them
live longer."

Like his father. again. the boy has
a way of resolving facts into signifi-
cances. Temperamentaily he's like
his dad. but in feature and physique
he resembles his mother. He's five
feet nine inches. as tall as Doug Sr.
and still shooting up.‘ Weighs 1‘5.
His assured manner. athletic prow-
ess, the bearing acquired in a military
academy. boyish good looks and in-
genious behavior. coupled with zeal
for the profession of his distinguished
father. should speed him toward
screen security.
\‘ery artlessly he asked me it a
certain actor. the nin the offing. was
conceited. The answer doesn‘t inat-
ter. but it indicated that young Doug
had quite made up his mind never
to "up-stage" his way to fame.
His first picture {or Lasky will
probably be one written for him by
Julian Street. with the Boy Scout or- .
ganization as a. background. and his
first director. Joe Henabery. who

lures.
