MoRoNs

The subject Of morons now occu-
pies numerous volumes and even much
newspaper space. This has occur
red since the world war. Previous to
that time the term seldom was used.
The draft in England produced
what was celled "Class 8" men. In
the United States it unearthed q
similar. class, which were called mo-
rohs. The large number of persons
who came under this classification
aroused great interest. In brief, it
means detectives or mentally def
Gent Persons. Today it is a term
commonly used in criminoIogy.
The first scientific theory was that
actual morons were throwbacks or
reversion to primitive ancestors. This
theory is now held to be incorrect on
the grounds that mans ancestors
were winners in the struggle for ex-
istence and have progressed and that
such large numbers of detectives
would be impossible. The latest
theory is that they are degenerate
nutants." A mutant is a species OF
individual showing a sudden change
The growth of this species is rapid
because mental detectives are not re-
strained by normal reasoning pow
ers.

II has no substitutes; it has no slap
stick, no cheap movie devices, yet
hardened picture goers, critics and
fans alike, sit through it spellbound,
now laughing, now weeping. It is
astonishing how many metropolitan
critics have acknowledged proudly
that "The Last Laugh" made them
weep, and also admitted that it caus-
ed them to laugh out loud.
Being devoid of the usual motion
picture subterfuges, what is it that
gives "The Last Laugh" it's grip +?
It's humanness and its art. Both its
star and its director know human
nature and are masters of picture
play technique. They go unerringly
to the heart of the leading character
and lay bare it's soul. The character
lives before you-it is the tragedy
and comedy of actual life the specta-
tors see. No play acting here-real-
ityl
A simple chronicle it is. An old
man has been porter and doorman at
a fashinoable Berlin hotel for years.
Of powerful physique, magnificent in
his gold lace and braid, self-import-
ant, but kindly in his limited author
ity, he looks upon himself IS a fixture
in his job, in fact as an indispensable
adjunct to the establishment.
An Imposing Figure
How imposing he is as he opens
the door of a splendid carriage and
stands at salute as its fashionable
occupants alight, and with what
abandon he swings a heavy trunk
from the top of the equipagel In
the humble quarter where he lives
he is looked upon as an important
parsonage and his adoring daughter,
who Is about to be married, thinks
him a great man.
The emotional tension of the earlier
part of the picture is done in perfect
keeping with the really lOvable char
acter of the old porter-a master
stroke of directorial genius. Here is
the acme of perfected comedy based
on character Gelineation-no trivial
ty, no buffoonery. Only great act
or like Jannings could round out the
character so perfectly.
Carl Laemmle accomplishes a gen.
uine coup in acquiring 'The Last
Laugh" for distribution by Universal.
It will be the talk of the entire coun-
try this season, just as it already is
the talk of New York.

last LAUGH" IS SAID
TO Be PERFECT PICTURE

At last the perfect picture-really
the picture without flaw. Such is
'The Last Laugh" the U. F. A. pro-
duction directed by F. w. Murnau,
with Emil Jannings as star now be-
ing shown at the DIR theatre under
direction of Universal. This is the
one picture which no critics, either in
Europe or in New York, has sug-
gested might be improved. Without
exception they have said it is suffi-
cient just as it is-that to alter it in
the slightest degree would mar it.
Remarkable, revolutionary, in sew
eral ways is "The Last Laugh" but
human. and dramatically appealing.

PRIVATE INVESTMENT ABROAD
REACHES EIGHT BILLION

New York, n. Y. July 13-Accord-
ing to the best information obtainable
from financial experts, the amounts
of private capital invested abroad
on January /, 1925, reached a total
of eight billion dollars, and the re-
sultant interest gives to the citizens
of II country from their private
investments a total of five hundred
million dollars.
Against this investment of Ameri-
can capital in Europe there is about
three billion dollars of foreign capital
invested in the United States, with
an annual profit of about one hun
dred and fifty million dollars. Thus
it will be seen that private invest
ments leave a balance of three hun
bred and fifty million dollars in favor
of our citizens.
