his mimlckry. Not only did be act,
but he continually talked about

"You know," Mrs. Scott recalled

But it was all in fun. Never any

Then, there was a trick tooth!
In those days, Clark had a one

fun that tooth caused!
"One night Wilbur, Clark and

Scott of Salem) remembered.
"The dance waa upstairs over a

He would be dancing with a girl
and during the rest he would put
his tongue behind that tooth and

" "Now look,' Gable would say,
'see. It is all gone.' pushing the

"After the tooth gag started to

"The Big Parade," one of the
most heroic and stirring pictures
ever filmed, will make a trium
phant return to the Hollywood
theatre starting today, the revised
version of the celebrated King VI
dor production having been made
doubly thrilling by the addition of
sonnd effects.
Daring late years, according to
officials at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
studios, there has been a
definite public demand for the re
vival of "The Big Parade," which
prompted the producers to pre
sent it with the sound embellish
ments which were unknown when
the picture was originally releas
ed. Such effects as the sounds of the
cannon, machine guns, airplanes,
trucks and tanks add tremendous
realism to the stirring war scenes
and further realism Is achieved by
sound In the sequences in which
war Is first declared and made ap
parent to the people by the ring
ing of. bells and the sounding of
factory whistles.
Also In the current version of
"The Big Parade" you will hear
the soldiers as they sing such ro
bust marching songs as "You're
in the Army Now," all of which
gives the picture an entirely fresh
aspect.
Together with the new sound
effects, the new version retains
the original musical score as pre
sented at the opening of the pic
ture at the Astor theatre In New
York. This was personally direct
ed by Dr. William Art. its crea
tor, with a 100-piece orchestra for
the andibie version.
"The Big Parade" is the picture
whieh launched John Gilbert as a
star and no player was more for
tunate in the choice of a first star
ring vehicle, for the picture is a
tremendous and authentic portray
al of the war, a masterpiece of
emotion and a great human com
edy as well. Renee Adoree as Mel-
isande. the French girl; Karl
Dane. Hobart Bosworth. Claire
McDowell and Tom O'Brien play
outstanding roles.
