Answer
John Gilbert's career declined during the transition to talkies because his voice was not suitable for the new medium. While he was considered a handsome leading man, his voice was described as high-pitched and nasal, and his accent was considered to be distracting. As a result, he was unable to compete with the new generation of actors who had deeper, more resonant voices.
