Photo by Ruth Harriet Louise Tnhn CiHhprt0i the many roles in jUfJ/l vjWi/c / £ which he has captivated the hearts of the theatregoing public, John Gilbert’s portrayal of Jim Apperson in King Vidor’s production, The Big Parade, is undoubtedly his best. Dumped from the mansions of the avenues into the dirt and the grime of war-time France, many a scion of the aristocracy discovered himself in the inferno of The Front where Death stalked ever near.
