THE WAY OF ALL FLESH (1927) 199 To H. B. Warner must go much credit for the success of the picture. His performance in the role of Christ, far from giving offense, was a triumph of sensitiveness and beauty. BELOW It is not generally known that Emil Jannings, heralded in his day as "the greatest actor in the world" (and he was a superb one) was born in New York. However, he was taken to Germany when he was still a baby. He began his stage career in repertory companies and eventually in Max Reinhardt's company. Going into films, he attained world-wide popularity by his performances in Du Barnj (Passion), The Last Laugh, and Variety. Paramount brought him back to this country and starred him in a number of pictures, the first of which was The Way of All Flesh, a story of a bank cashier who was a devoted father and good husband, but who went "the wav of all flesh" and ended as a derelict.
