THE AMERICANO
starring Douglas Fairbanks and Alma Reubens
MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE
March, 1917

The fact that Douglas Fairbanks is the star of this is sufficient proof that it's good. As the extremely susceptible, quick-tempered son of the Stars and Stripes in Mexico, "Electricity Doug" does the best work of his picture career. It is mad, merry scramble of lovely senoritas, tempest-in-tea-pot revolutions, kidnapped Presidentes, and a strong, husky son of the U.S.A. to wave the Stars and Stripes as the curtain goes down on the last and happy finale. Alma Reubens is a lovely and extremely capable "opposite" to Mr. Fairbanks.
