This photo of John Gilbert was taken by MGM photographer Ruth Harriet Louise.
John Gilbert in THE PHANTOM OF PARIS, an early talkie in which Gilbert plays a magician. This is from the collection of Leatrice Gilbert Fountain, John Gilbert’s daughter. (She loaned me the photo.) THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA was written by the same author, Gaston Leroux.
