The performance of Jannings in

be held up for long time by
directors for lesser actors tO-
shoot at. as a criterion for mas
terly character portrayal on the

Jannings' work brought laughter
from great audience for more
than halt the picture. And when
the picture had ended, many Wo-
men were slow in leaving, as they
dabbed at tear-reddened eyes with
their handkerchiefs.

is similar in only one respect: the
old doorman in ''The Last Laugh"

of his luxurious beard. at the in

do splendid work in this picture,

others smiled as If they they were
recalling smiles that at some time

And the effect always was the
samoan outbreak Of smiles all
around. Smiles that meant good
humor, courage. high spirits.
Some Of those people, you must
understand, hadn't felt like snlil-

about? They were struggling
with worry, confusion, disappoint;
