ducing the various processes In the manu-
facture Of iron and steel sheets at the plant
of a large American company IL was desired
to show not only each mechanical step but
the actual making as well as the handling
of the molten steel or iron. When pig iron

producer gas or oil as a fuel the iron and
metals gradually melt until an immense

In panel above Gebuh Germanys versatile
film In circle is Emil Jnnings equally popular.

Second only TO Frauein Negri is Emil
Jannings. the leading German male star,
with a fine skill in characterization that
would make him at home anywhere provid-
ed he didn't have TO say anything. Accord
ing to some reports he is an American who
went abroad TO study under Max Reinhardt
and he is so good that America might as
well claim him. since the Germans claim
Shakespeare. There is a natural sense of
humor shown in his puckered lips and con-
stantly revealed in his acting--a feeling for
the comic that is often absent in American
leading men, else many of them would sup
press the blurbs sent out by their publicity
department.
Jannings's speciality Is kings, though he
can play tramp with equal facility, possibly
because nowadays the dividing line between
the two classes isn't so clearly drawn. IL is
reported that he will be featured more
strongly than ever by Adolph Zukor. head

broke the ice in America, cost about 900

more than that amount them the first
week it was exposed here Some of the
$4,000 pictures, done with much character
'stic elaboration of detail, have scenes hold
ing thousands of extras, and it would cost
the average American director that much
money to produce one of these scenes alone
not TO mention the wear and tear on his
nerves from trying to keep the crowds of
supers together. which often necessitates a
trip to the mountains to recuperate.
But now that they have made their first
inroad here, and believe that they have the
market seeking them with their initial spec
tacular successes, the Germans are begin

that they are almost human after all.
To the average native layman the pic
lures themselves are something just as new
and interesting as though they had been
fired here from Mars out of a gun. That is
because, as the verest outsider knows,
American films during the war, when Con-
tinental studio activities were suspended, had
chance TO make giant strides forward and
conquer the world not only commercially
but artistically. that even one of the old
guard of speaking stars, cutching a lucra-
tive contract just handed to him by a film
company, had to admit there was something
in them.
