The Big Parade, Lobby Card

A grinning doughboy in a steel helmet.

What

A 1925 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer lobby card for The Big Parade, an American silent war drama directed by King Vidor.

Why

Laurence Stallings, a World War I veteran, wrote the story of a rich idler who joins the Rainbow Division and meets the trenches of France, with John Gilbert and Renée Adorée.

Notice

The soldier's face fills a great circle at right while the left column bills "Laurence Stallings' Great Motion Picture Story" above a small coloured vignette of a couple.

“The war, from the trenches”
