Here’s a wild thought… imagine the scions of all THREE DJs (as Fairbanks Sr. was not included, I won’t mention Jr. for the cast) in a sequel called something like The Adventures of the Sons of Don Juan staring Sean Flynn, John Barrymore Jr., and (William) De Wolf Hopper Jr…

(William) De Wolf Hopper Jr.?

“Irrelevent, incompetent, and Immaterial” you might state in a most “Mason”Ian declaration…

“Overuled!”, comes the judgement.

It’s in fact William Hopper (aka: Paul Drake)!
