182 THE TWENTIES In 1923 Laurence Stallings and Maxwell Anderson, respectively a literary columnist and an editorial writer on the old New York World, wrote a bawdy, tragic, hilarious war play that they planned to call None But the Brave, with the subtitle, "A Comedy with a Few Deaths." They sold it to Arthur Hopkins, who produced it in 1924 under the name What Price Glorij? Hollywood, however, would have none of it, thinking that the public didn't want war pictures. It took The Big Parade, by the same Stallings, to awaken Hollywood to the fact that there might be gold in What Price Glorij? BELOW And there was. Veteran playgoers insist that no one could ever equal the unforgettable performances of ■ Louis Wolheim and William Boyd as Captain Flagg and Sergeant Quirt in the stage version. Just the same, Victor McLaglen and Edmund Lowe ( shown in the preceding still ) were enormously satisfying. In this scene we have the heroine of the story, Charmaine, as played by Dolores Del Rio. The film was directed by Raoul Walsh and produced by Fox. ABOVE RIGHT Claire Windsor, like Clara Bow, was a beauty-contest winner who really made good in pictures. After playing extra parts, she started under Lois Weber's direction and eventually became a leading lady. Conrad Nagel and Miss Windsor were teamed in Dance Madness, a scene from which is above.
