SID GRAUMAN was responsible for a sensational premiere showing when "The Big Parade," Metro-GoldwynMayer picture starring John Gilbert, opened at his Hollywood Egyptian Theatre. Among the many features was a parade a mile long containing six bands, innumerable floats, artillery, fire-fighting apparatus and many other features.

Five microphones were placed inside of the theatre and several outside. Word pict.res of all going on were broadcast. Misses Kay and Marsh, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer fashion designers, described gowns worn by stars as they entered the theatre. Musical numbers were broadcast from the orchestra pit together with the ceremony of intro lucing stars by Fred Niblo.
The parade staged by the military and civic organizations of the city was headed by Major Chambers of Fort McArthur as Grand Marshal. The entire line of march was under a blaze of red fire torches at each street corner.
The picture was enthusiastically received by the capacity audience, which included motion p:cture stars, directors and the leading executives in the industi-y. Fred Niblo introduced King Vidor, the director, John
Gilbert the star of the picture, Renee Adoree and Tom O'Brien who have prominent roles, and executives of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer organization.
