MGM used the 'voice test' as an excuse to get rid of John Gilbert. He made a few films in the 1930's and his voice is ok, even bettter than some actors who survived the studio purge.

This story about John Gilbert is totally untrue. His voice was not high-pitched or bad for "talkies". The decline of his career was driven by studio politics. It is time to stop perpetuating this falsehood.

If the guy did a little more research on Gilbert, he would have found out that the actor was vindicated several years later by starring in a play called "CHERRIES ARE RIPE" with another casualty of the micrphone, Vilma Banky. They were a HIT on stage, and no one seemed to mind that their voices didn't fit their image on screen.
