Talks about not only Fairbanks and his death-defying stunts but also of the romance and love story that the film includes.

Scholarly Significance
-
Shows Fairbanks' masculinity by portraying him as a fearless man who faces danger and jumps through, he is able to better dangerous stunts from previous films in this meaning as a human he only grows. Making him look like the ideal American man
Love story within the article portrays his relationship as clearly of straight male that who faces rejection until he gets his way. Something which is wrong.
Subtly this articles presents the power of Douglas Fairbanks who, by my inference, has been able to get his sister-in-law onto a film to star in a film. This shows his massive presence in 1920's Hollywood both as an actor, businessman and producer.
His reach as an actor has crossed continents.
