John Gilbert (1895-1936), silent film star Product:Framed picture The Coldstream guards seen hereJohn Gilbert (1895 1936), silent film star, early 20th century. Real hand coloured photograph. Known as the great lover, Gilbert rivalled even the great Rudolph Valentino as a box office draw. Though he was often cited as one of the high profile examples of an actor who was unsuccessful in making the transition to talkies, his decline as a star in fact had as much to do with studio politics and money as did the sound of his screen voice.
