	TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES
		Star John Gilbert was the son of a comic whose family's show biz connections landed him in Hollywood where he initially worked in small roles for the Thomas H. Ince Company.
		Gilbert had a harder time holding the interest of his female fans with the transition to sound, where his romantic vigor never quite translated to the sound era, perhaps due in part to his less-than-commanding voice but also to a run of mediocre films.
		It is possible Gilbert's later problems with alcohol may have been related to his difficulty in making that career transition from fan adulation in the silent era to a diminished presence in sound films.
