MARGARET LIVINGSTON

Emil Jannings.

THE motion picture world is repiete
with strange careers, but possibly
the career of a little East Side New
York boy, who has gained reclamation
on two continents, ranks as one of the
strangest.
Ordinarily, great artists are brought
to Hollywood from Europe. In the
case of Emil Jannings, however, the
tables are turned, and Europe has
found one of it's most popular cine
matte stars in the New York boy
Jannings was born on the outskirts
of the Ghetto of New York. While
still a youngster, his parents, of Ger
man extraction, returned to their ma
tive country. At an age when most
boys are plodding away with their
arithmetic Jannings joined the crew
of a steamer, then a troupe of wan
dering players.
About this time the motion picture
was being introduced in Germany.
Jannings joined one of the companies
and from the beginning he was given
important roles. For several years
thereafter he was associated with
Ernst Lubitsch and f. w. Murnau,
two of the most distinguished direc-
tors in motion pictures today
Germany and the Continent early
saw the genius that was in Jannings,
but not until such masterpieces as
'The Last Laugh" "Quo Vadis," Eva
riety" and deception" the last of
which will be revived by the Motion
Picture Guild at the Wardman Park
Theater, was his fame implanted on
this side of the Atlantic

THIS Hollywood town-the paradise
of Lets-Pretend-is often Heart
break Town, because of the disillusion-
ment and heartache that strikes into
the in'ards of thousands upon thou
sands of hungering hopes.
But HOLLYWOOD is a Heartbreak
Town for another reason, and that
concerns the ghosts of other days that
are not allowed to rest in peace in the
scenes of by-gone triumphs where they
were born in luminous glory.
Out in the heart of Hollywood there
stands a group of green wooden build
ings. In one or two places along
their rambling. haphazard exterior the
legend "Clune Studio" is visible--one
of the first studios in Filmville and the
dwelling place of numerous ghosts.
For eight long, silent, dust-laden
months the ghosts have lived in un-
disturbed peace, each one haughtily
and proudly recalling the day it pull
