is astounding. that it renews faith in
the cinema form and creates an en-
thusiasm for its destiny.

more important is that, for most of
its time, whatever else it is doing.
the film tells a whole lot about hu-

under the influence of human na»

realistically and intimately rclived
at the Regent theatre. where this
afternoon. "The Big Parade," began
its engagement of three days. The
grandeur. the marvel or this master-
piecs of nlmdom. can only be realiz-
ed by witnessing it. .
This is not a war picture, though
there is war in it. Not the ordinary
war of the motion picture studio.
but war as it was fought at the Ar-
gonne and Bellcy-on-Santerre. But
greater than strife. the conflict. of
arms. the thunder of the guns, the
mud and the stink. and the cooties.
the tanks—greater than these. is
the love back of it all. For wars
may come and wars may go, but
love lives on forever.
It is the doughboy‘s story and the
story of the girl back of the lines.
The heart rendering scenes are re-
lieved by the comedy which runs
through the production, showing
comical situations which occurred
among the boys. These too have
been portrayed as accurately as pos-
sible, As a whole “The Big Parade."
is one of the biggest and most enter-
taining pictures brought to the
screen since the introduction of mo-
tion pictures as a public amusement.
The musical score and the effects
were specially arranged. The musi-
cal score contains many catchy
songs the boys enjoyed. The eitects
are operated by a special force.
Every shot tired. every interesting
and exciting part of the production,
those eifects are operated and they
bring the realism of war closer to
home and a realization that war is
all that Sherman said it was.

but you hear them. And when the
tanks go over the top. your whole
body will be electrified with patrio-
tism and you will find it dlil'ieuit to
refrain from cheering. “The Big
