CT The off stage pleasant face of Germany's and now America's greatest actor. annings Into the ash-can with smug respecta' bility and with hollow shams. Such is the way of the world — The Way of All Flesh. Emil Janmngs has lived out for us the lesson of his great picture. He came to America after his films "The Last Laugh" and "Variety" had stirred us to frenzied clamor. His first picture here is the story of August Schiller but it is more than that for it is a picture of a survival when adulation and flattery called from every car seat. Here is the proof that Jannings is the great artist alone with his art and secure from enticements. In this bedraggled character he creates a soul clutching at your emotions, and he fills you with a choking joy at the beauty of unselfish love. Thanks to Emil Jannings we realize the screen is greater than the printed word and that we honor our page by printing hereon this sincere tribute to him. These faces tell the story of Emil Jannings in "The Way of All Flesh". In the hand of the old derelict is the self satisfied ban\ cler\'s face, next is his expression as he sees the enchantress. He shaves as she dictates and continues his spree. Then the awakening and finally the terrifying realization. SCREENLAND'S HONOR PAGE OCTOBER 1927
