GREAT LOVER OF THE SCREEN
STAR OF ''BIG PARADE

Metro Goldwyn-Mayer in announ-
cling John Gilbert in "The Big Pa
rade," which will soon be presented
at the Plaza Theatre, suggest Gil
bert as likely candidate for the suf-
frages of the fans as greatest
screen lover of all time"
They point with pride to his
Prince Danilo (''The Merry Widow')
his James Apperson (''The Big Pa
rade'O, his Rudolph C'La Boheme')
and to his spectacular work in
"Bardelys the Magnificent" "Flesh
and the Devil" and "The Show"
However, John Gilbert in his re-
cent studio work has exhibited
larger virtuosity in the gentle art
of inspiring romance than any other
idol of the time. The Gilbert hair,
eyes, profile, smile and figure are
equally fascinating in all his pro-
team changes.
A real surprise awaits the Gilbert
ian fan in "The Big Parade" His
makeup is the mud pack" of the
trenches. All the disfigurements of
"active service" are realized. Those
who have seen the picture say that
begrimed and dirty he is just as easy
to look at-and just as compelling
as when dandified. 1t might be men
toned that this new-and probably
greatest-screen lover was born in
Logan, Utah. He didn't leap to fame.
He began his acting career at a ten
der age with Eddie Foy. He was
juvenile lead after that in Western
stock companies. Then he went into
Then he took up motion
picture acting. He was a scenario
writer for Maurice Tourneur, and
later was director. Then Metro
Mayer took him up and
made a star of him.
There is little question that John
Gilbert not only is the screens new.
est and greatest lover, but also that
he is one of the wholesomest, finest |
and most appealing in contagious
Iy wholesome way to his audiences.
Renee Adoree is featured opposite
Gilbert in this big King Vidor pro-
1uction of the Laurence Stallings'
story.

"Singing" Mud RiUers
Alter Andes Skyline

One of the most interesting features
!, of the Andes, the great backbone Of
cordilleras covering the northern part
of South America. says Nature Maya
zine, is its singing" rivers of mud.
During certain seasons of the year
rain falls in torrents, converting the
foothills of the mountains into actual
streams of flowing gumbo, and so rap
idly is this erosion occurring, the
whole outline of chain of mountains
may become unacceptable In the
course Of year.
The higher cordilleras, with alti-
tudes of 10000 to 10000 feet, are be-
ing washed down at the rate Of five
feet or more year, and it is believed
that in few centuries the Andes will
be leveled and formed into vast
plateaus like the hinterland Of Pata-
gonia.
The mountains are composed, for
the most part. of glacial moraine,
mixture of powdered rock and clay.
The winter rains carry this alluvial
material down the valleys in semi
liquid state and form vast plains. It
gurgles with musical sound like.
