Jannings' Versatility.

Louis XIV of France: Deception" in
which he appears as Henry VIII OF
England; Peter the Great" THE
Loves of Pharaoh" The Last Laugh"
and Variety"
In addition to these distinctive roles
Jannings has done several noteworthy
characters. The Motion Picture Guild
lists, as examples. his work In the
title role of "Othello": as the braggart
villain of Rose. .Bernd"; as the cuckold
In "Nju'': as a society lion in Blind
Passions; as Nero in Quo Vadis";
and many minor films, such as Money
Madness" 1.-The Ancient Law. ")etc.
Thus Jannings has portrayed such
historical figures as Peter the Great.
Henry VIII, Pharoah, Nero and Louis
XIV: has been a tragedian in "The
Last Laugh" and "Othello"; has been
a heavy in Variety" ETC.. and has
enacted straight leads in '''NJu" and
Blind Passions"
There still remains, however, the
question of whether or not Jannings
ception" gave evidence that the star
possessed no ordinary comedic talent,
and one of his greatest roles is said to
support this idea. In the title role of
Ufa's perturbation of Moliere' 8
classic comedy, "Tartuffe the Hypo-
critic" Jannings il called upon for
whimsical humor of the highest order,
and it represents his only comic char.
acter.
With this role behind him, sums up
the guild, Jannings seems to have
played nearly every variety Of part
possible for a male actor.

The Moving Picture Album
BY ROBERT E. SHERWOOD.

" HERE is much talk in the
press these days of ghost
writer s--those mysterious
L scribes who actually write the
stuff signed by famous ath'
1etes. stage and screen stars and other
celebrities whose numerous talents DO
not include literary ability.
Indeed. no less than Jack Dempsey
himself recently said lin COURT that
no only did he not write the articles
attributed to him. he didn't even
bother to read them. Hence, testi.
fled the Manassa ex.Mauler, he could
hardly be held responsible for the
statements uttered in said articles.
Ghost writers are apt to be shrink
ingly modest and willfully anonymous,
being content to take the cash ana
let the credit Tor otherwise) so.
The other day, however, I encount'
cred a ghost writer whose unobtru.
sive activities brought him fame and
fortune in big way. His name Is
Monta Bell, and he is at present one
of the outstanding directors In the
grand old movie game.
Mr. Bell was connected with news
paper syndicate at the time when
Charlie Chaplin returned from a for
eign tour. 1t was decided that Mr..
Chaplin, like every other returned
traveller. must write volume entitled,
''NIv Trip Abroad"
The eminent comedian had neither
the time nor the inclination for lit
erarv work, so Mr.. Bell was assigned
to the task of writing MY Trip
Abroad, by Charles Spencer Chaplin"
He did so and made an excellent job
of it.
Charlie was so delighted with the
result that he offered Mr.. Bell a con.
tract as a sort Of editorial counselor
in the Chaplin studio.
That was at the time when "a
Woman of Paris" was in preparation
and Mr.. Bell had the opportunity to
watch the master at work as a di.
rector. He absorbed vast number
of good ideas. realized a few plain
truths about the art OF movie making
and set up in business on his own'ac-
count. His first picture, Broadway
After Dark" attracted considerable at.
tention.
Since then Mr.. Bell has risen rap
idly. He has written and directed
many pictures for Adolphe Menjou,
Norma Shearer and others, and has
established himself as an alert, pro.
gressive force in the silent drama.
Monta Bell, like few other mo-
tion picture directors, Is none too en-
thusiastic about the movies them
selves as an art.
There have only been three or
four real pictures ever made" he
told me.
I asked him to name them.
WELL" he said, there's 'Nanook
of the North certainly. There's
THE Last Laugh I guess, and "A
Woman Of Paris and parts OF Stark
Love" He couldn't think OF any
more

In spite of this lack Of apprecia
tion for the medium i'm which he
works, Mr.. Bell has all sorts OF ex
pansive plans for the future.
For one thing. he wants to make
a war picture-the biggest war pic.

down into fairly comprehensive
view of the entire struggle.
There also are plans for a picture
entitled THE Wild West" which.
like WAR" will cover the whole sub.
ject at one sitting Billy the Kid will
he in 1t; so will Wild Bill Hickock.
Bat Masterson. Theodore Roosevelt,
| Buffalo Bill and probably few mil.
| lion others.
Another story that Mr.. Bell is keen
to do Is Suffers Gold" which Is the
| amazing narrative of Swiss farmer
who owned a large section OF Callfor'
MIA and was cheated of his possess
sions at the time of the gold rush:
Emil Jannings would be the star Of
this.
X X "
These intentions of Mr.. Bell are all
magnificent ones, imagined on grand
scale. If carried out according to his
present plans each Of the pictures
would be at least IS reels long. That
is a length which is allowed to no
directors with the exception Of Erich
Won Stroheim.
Far more interesting to me are Mr..

two.reel dramas. There have been
various abortive attempts to do this.
but never since the movies graduated
into the feature picture class has
two.reei drama been worth the gelatin
it was printed on. For this reason
short, serious subjects have been
frowned on. "a story that is good in
two reels" say the film producers,
"can be even better when stretched
out to six reels. And If it isn't better.
it's certainly lot more profitable"
Mr.. Bells argument is this: A large
percentage of the feature pictures
made now are comedies. Aside from
the Chaplin, Lloyd. keaton and Lang
Hatton, the Reginald Denny, the
Douglas MacLean, the Eddie Cantor,
w. c. Fields. Johnny Hines and count
less other gag vehicles" constantly
being released.
Why attempt to follow a good
feature comedy with a mediocre two.
reel comedy? asks Mr.. Bell. Why not
develop a line of dramatic two.reelers
that will provide contrast to the
vows and nifties of the feature films?
1t sounds suspiciously like an excel.
lent idea and I hope that Mr.. Bell
win shelve War" and "The Wild
West" for a while and set out to
