“The BigParade” Tells
Grim War Story Shot
Thru With Fine Romance
"The Big Parade? which has been
called the biggest picture of the cur-
rent season, hsu been eagerly await-
ed in this city. King Vidor’s pictur-
ization of Laurence Stalilngs's story
opens a. three day. engagement at
the Regent beginning tomorrow.
This Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer produc-
tion starring John Gilbert will be
presented here by a complete tour-
lng organization including an or-
chestra of 20 musicians.
Briefly the story of “The Big
Parade" centers in Jim Appereon. a.
typical inn-loving American and
much like cvery other rich man‘s
son. In tho Spring at 1917. fired by
a new patriotism. he enlists and
departs for services in France. The
succeeding scenes show Jim and his
two buddies: Bull. a former Bowery
bar tender, and Slim. an ex-riveter.
and their life in the doughboys’
billets in rural Frnnce. Mr. Stallings
is said to have created a trio as
original as liipling's "Soldiers
Three." ‘ ‘
And then Jim meets Mtllsando—
as played by Renee .Adoree—and
forgets about his American sweet-
heart. This little French girl in her
wooden sabots and milkmaid garb
is a figure of high romance. Some
of the most touching scenes ever
filmed are those of the love-making,
‘of Jim and Melissnde. Then comes
the advance to the front and the
lovers are separated. Vital moments
of drama are shown in the advance
through the forest. the attack on
the French village. the" trenches.
shell holes, machine gun-nests. the
wounding or Jim and the final light
for his two pals. Then home Rain
and the reconsiructlonmerlod when
the two lovers are reunited. Realism
dominates every scene: Supporting

era as Renee Adoree. Karl Dane.

Two, nights later.‘ the, night before
Marian Forbes was due to return to
Chicago. the two of them went
out together. to celebrate the “last
night of my parole." as lbrbes ex-
pressed it. Coming from a theater.
they met Paul Davidson. who sug.

It wsa the first time John had

was surprised at the elaborate and
tasteful furnishings. so commented
on this to Paul. who waved I grace

Jobs and Forbes left shortly
afterward. both of them hilarious

had served.

in a taxi. singing very loudly. and
John insisted on standing on the
front lawn and making a speech
extolling the merits of Holland gin.
Forbes applauded loudly and cried.
"three cheers!" and an upstairs
window across the street closed with
an angry bang.
Pat addrsseed himself to the un-
seen person who had banged the
window. “80's your old man." he
shouted. and John ran to him quick-
ly and but a band over his mouth.
"Be careful." he cautioned. “That

"I'll go over and introduce my.

"Never mind. it's not necessary.

don't mind it. He's all right."
Briggs looked at him for some
time without speaking. Then.
“John." he said. "you’re a regular
guy." With which enigmatic state-
ment he walked on into his little
office.
John looked after him. I puzzled
smile on his face. He thought. “Just
like Nat. to take credit with Brian,
i wonder what’s the matter with a
man when he acts like that."
He sat down at his desk and be
gan opening a small pile of mail that
the red-haired Miss Knlsely lsld be
fore him. Glancing up to answer her
"Good morning." he noticed that
she was wearing a new dress—an ex-
tremely short one for the prlmly
correct Miss Knlsely, he thought—
and he began absently to admire the
curve of her exquisite ankles.
Briggs came in to submit a
sketch. and John said. in a low voice.
”If we ever get any hosiery ac-
counts. we won't have to go outside
for a model for you, Briggsy."
Briggs grinned. “i know who you
mean. all right. Legs like those
would be worth a million dollars on
the stage." he whispered.
John laughed and picked up
Briggs' sketch. “All right." be
granted. and reached in the drawer
for his pipe and tobacco.
Then. walking over to the window
behind him. he gazed idly at the sky-
line and lazily tamped the tobacco
into the bowl and applied a match.
He was feeling just a littlmlonely and
found himself wanting to see Fay
and Judith.
The telephone on his desk tickled
and roused him from his reverie.
"Hello." he called. and a ibminlns
voice—a very delightful feminine
voice. be thought—said. "Hello. is
this Mr. Milhurn‘f”
“Yes."
"Well. this is Dorothy Francis."
the voice said. and be almost dropped

his first meeting with the girl who
was known as "the balls of Han-

“Well, well,” he aid. “What are

“Don’t you read the papers?” she
asked. “I‘m here with the musical
