MERRY GO ROUND (1923) 135 Paramount very well knew the box-office value of a great name. Accordingly, in 1923 it featured the sixteen-year-old son of a famous screen star in Stephen Steps Out. Meet Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. With him is Harry Myers. Merry Go Round started as a von Stroheim produc tion, but his extravagance was too much for Universal, and they replaced him with Rupert Julian. The result, oddly enough, was one of the best of the von Stroheim series. The von Stroheim sequence shown here, with Sidney Bracey as the groom and Dorothy Wallace as the countess, suggests that it might have been a forerunner, God forbid, of Lady Chattcrley's Lover.
