MIhe Big Paraden

"The Big Parade" which King Vidor made for Metro-Goldwyn Mayer and which will be presented here for one week beginning Mon day night, May 10, with company and orchestra as a result of its wonderful New York success, is the first picture inspired by the pen Of Captain Laurence Stallings, the well-knoWn veteran of the A. E.. r.. playwright novelist and jour nalist who has contributed more than any other man to knowledge of the life in France during the great world crisis of 1917-1S. This knowledge is epitomi2ed in an en- tertaining romance Of love, thrills, passion and laughter centering in the two characters of Jim Apper- son. doughboy, and Melisande, q peasant mam'selle It has all the quality Of "Pmmes" but is better fun. Metro-G -Goldwyn- Mayer was fortunate in getting John Gilbert 10 star in the production as Jim Apperson and Renee Adorce, the French actress, 10 take the fea- tured part of Mclisande. Two other extraordinary characters in the production are those of Jim's bud dies in the billets and trenches, Slim Jensen and Bull O'Hara, played by Karl Dane and Tom O'Brien.

President Griffith is worrying
