📍 On the road to glory
Settling in Hollywood as a teenager, John Gilbert made his cowardly film debut in the stable of Thomas H. Ince , DW Griffith's rival in 1915; Ince, like William Hart , ran frequently in those early years. Gilbert thus appears in the monumental Civilization , Ince's response to Griffith's intolerance - two box office hits - and Hell's Hinges , co-directed by Clifford Smith . The actor also co-starred with Mary Pickford in The Girl in the Mountains by Sidney Franklin . From 1921 he worked at Fox : he played notably Edmond Dantes in Monte Cristo , the hero Alexandre Dumas , the title role of Cameo Kirby in John Ford , and along with Lon Chaney , in Paris Sleeps by Maurice Tourneur , of which he became a protégé . Gilbert also wrote and directed several films before being signed by MGM in 1924 .
