"The Big Parade" is one of the most outstanding of the really "big" war pic- tures. Briefly the story centers in Jim Apperson, a typical fun-loving Amer- ican, and much like any other rich man's son. In the spring of 1917, fired by a new patriotism, he enlists and de parts for service in France. The suc- ceeding 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 France. Mr. Stallings is said to have created a trio as original as Kip- ling's "Soldiers Three." And then Jim meets Melisande--as played by Renee Adorece--and forgets about his American sweetheart. 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 lovemaking of Jim and Melisande. 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 of Jim and the final fight for his two pals. Then home again and the reconstruction period when the two lovers then reunited. Realism dominates every scene, The LLL TT TT wm.
