JOHN GILBERT'S DAUGHTER.
Thirteen-year-old Leatrice Joy Gilfcert has made her appearance before a camera in the studio where her father scored his greatest successes. The occasion was a make-up test, supers vised by three of her father's oldest friends. The daughter of the late John Gilbert and Leatrice Joy plays her first role in "Of Human Hearts," with Walter Huston1 and Beulah Bondi, appearing as the heroine in her youth. Clarence Brown, director, and John W. Considine, Jun., producer, supervised the test, and John Arnold, who photographed "The Big Parade" and who is now camera chief at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, supervised the photography. The; youngster insisted that her dachshund "Darwin" be included in the test. Little Leatrice bears a striking resemblance to her famous father, and also has many features of her actress mother, who was also present when the final tests were made. Both hope for an active screen career for the secoid generation in the Gilbert family. Her first role is one of the most important juvenile roles of the season. *
