Fairbanks Wants Son As Star
Douglas Fairbanks, sen., wants Douglas Fairbanks, jun., to play the leading role in his forthcoming production "Marco Polo.. 1 ' The offer was promptly made when the son, now in London, made a flying visit to Hollywood after an absence of two years. Fairbanks, jun., declared, however, that he probably would be unable to accept the offer as he was too busy with his new production company. Criterion Films. The younger Fairbanks was in Holly' wood from London to complete a deal with United Studio, in which his father is a partner, for distribution of Criterion pictures. He was also attempting to borrow several American actors for roles in his pictures which are produced in London. Fairbanks, jun., formerly married to Joan Crawford, laughed off reports that he was romantically interested in either Elissa Landi or Gertrude Lawrence.
