How Wounded Men Act In the filming of “Gentleman’s Fate,” the question, “What does a man do when he is shot?” had to be answered. For an answer, the research de- partment supplied the director with several reels of film taken by the War Department in France and these were studied closely by all the actors “marked for death” in the picture. These included Gil- bert, John Miljan, Ralph Ince and several extras. The story, written especially for Gilbert by Ursula Parrott, is laid for the most part in a bootlegging section of New Jersey. Man About Town i Gilbert is first seen as a man-! |about-town of unlimited income. He becomes engaged to a woman prominent in society, and subsa- quently finds out that he is not a i wealthy young blood, but the son 1of a thief and a bootlegger. The revelation causes his fiancee to break off the engagement and Gil- bert, cynical and disillusioned, takes up his father's occupation. around his career as a gangster and killer and his entanglement with another woman. An important supporting cast includes Louis Wolheim, Leila Hy- ams, Marie Prevost and George Cooper. — . — Quartz piacer location no- TS PR A WOODS ARCTIC | Down Sleeping Robes at night, crawl into a genuine Woods Arctic — the real pioneer eiderdown of the North.
