In fact, the chip off the old block turn- ed out to be a couple of swash-| bucklers, The multiplication was due to the fact that the son, who is Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., was play- ing the famous twins of Dumas’ ro- mentic thriller, “The Corsican Brothers,” which shows for the last time tonight on the Capitol screen, The picture was made in a hun- | dred-acre glade of giant live oaks |some fifty miles from Hollywood, a|s ocation called Sherwood Forest, ever |since Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., chose it as the spot for filming one of| his greatest hits, “Robin Hood.” Doug, Jr., immediately felt at home in the forest—not only because his father christened the location, but| because he was playing a sword-‘ fighting, wall-scaling role which his father too would have enjoyed to| the hilt.
