Douglas Fairbanks Will Be Seen Today and Tomorrow at Liberty Theater in "A Modern Musketeer." m HE disregard for expense shown by big motion picture producers is well illustrated in Douglas Pairbanks's latest production for Artcraft, "A Modern Musketeer," Mus-keteer," which will be shown at the Liberty Lib-erty theater today and tomorrow.
