As an instance see "The Big Parade," Metro Goldwyn Mayer's brilliant and spectacular romance of the war. "The Big Parade," which opened at the California yesterday, was a talisman, for those concerned in its making. Karl Dane, an obscure "stunt man," was launched to fame overnight, and Tom O'Brien, who had been playing small "bits," played "Bull" in the picture and since then has occupied an Important place as a character man on the screen. Renee Adoree was a leading woman, "The Big Tarade" made her world famous and made her a favorite. John Gilbert was a star when he played the soldier hero in the picture but it gave his vogue such an impetus that he emerged from it one of the greatest box of ifce names in history.
