Chicago and Philadelphia is the unanimity of opinion from all reviewers that "The Big Parade" is 100 per cent. Gener- ally in each Dig town there is one severe critic whose‘ comments the press agents carefully put in cold storage whilst they repeat only the encomiums of the more complacent. But in the case of "The Big Parade" the whole sheaf of reviews can be laid on the dramatic editor's desk. So far there has been no Zeno nor Diogenes to damn it. Perhaps one of the causes of .this astonishing unaminlty is that both Laurence Stalllngs. author. and King Vidor worked with heart and main to pre- sent the truth of the Big Show. as the doughboys called the Big Parade 0'! the A.
