Jannings
Avoids Way
of Evils
The Way of All Flesh Is
Good Movie Despite
Hollywood.
BY GENE COIN
NEA Service Writer

NEW YORK, July 9.-With con-
siderable tmidity those who had
seen Emil Jannings in 1.-The Last
Laugh" approached the pre-view Of
this first production in America,
1.-The Way of All Flesh"
1t is a good picture. in spite Of the
Hollywood story which he has been
given, and Jannings remains the
greatest character actor the screen
has produced. He is to cinema
tragedy what Chaplin is to comedy.
The first twenty minutes of the
picture, wherein Jannings is por-
trayed as a thrifty, bewhiskered
bank cashier in Milwaukee, prom
Used one of the finest things he has
done. And then the film went
Hollywood"
Sent with valuable securities to
Chicago, he is vamped on the train
by a "gang-girl" and robbed after
a champagne jag. With ruin star
ing him in the face he hunts down
the girl, is knocked out by a gang
ster and taken to a railroad track
to be finished. He RECEIVERS In time
to toss a gangman under the train.
Circumstances make it appear
that the cashier has been killed and
he is willing to let it stay that way.
He reappears at the end of the pic
ture an old and broken man, re-
turning to his home town to find
his son a famous musician and,
wandering into the peanut gallery,
listens to him play.
At this point Jannings gives the
most heartbreaking performance
of his career. I have never seen
such suffering mirrored in the eyes
of a mime.
OF course Hollywood would ar
range a Christmas eve, upon which
the old man goes to peep In the
window and see the happy cele-
bration of his family and, of course,
the cops see him, the family runs
out and no one knows him. And
so he lumbers away into the snow
storm.

ing outcast from another race, a
new start in life.
AS stories go, the boy and the
girl become fond of each other, and
marry. 1t is not until after their
marriage that they really awaken to
the difficulties involving their inter
racial marriage, and this element
In the play makes this vehicle one
Of the most tensely interesting of
any drama in recent years.
Miss Jean Oliver, leading woman
with the Berkell players, will have
a splendid opportunity with her
role this week as Little Tea Flow
err, girl of thousand spring
times" She achieved fame in this
character few seasons ago when
she played it in Boston, Mass, with
the Castle Square players.
The play also offers the male lead
remarkable emotional possibilities.
It is the type which the actors, as
well as the audience enjoys. In the
second act one witnesses a very
startling and unexpected climax
which is quite thrilling in effect. The
lovely romance threading itself
throughout the play is winsome in
its appeal.
Beginning Sunday night, this play
will be seen in ten performances,
with matinees on Wednesday,
Thursday and Saturday afternoons.
The settings are mainly Oriental in
effect.
One of the coming attractions is
Edgar Selwyn's popular play en-
titled Gentlemen Prefer Blondes ~

1t will be produced without title
and Berkell will give 500 in cash to
the patron of this play who submits
the most appropriate title in the
opinion of the judges.
The drama critics on Indianapolis
papers have been asked to act as
the final judges in this unique con-
test.
Those who have read the play
here are known to have expressed
both interest and satisfaction in the
play as play. This general good
opinion of the favored few who have
read st. Clair's script has resulted
In Berkell breaking away from his
rule not to produce untried plays.
1t is to be expected that st. Clair
because of his pronounced popular
ity here will receive city wide and
even New York interest in his first
venture at playwriting.
Berkell plans to invite readers and
representatives of New York and
Chicago producers to come here
while st. Clair's show is being pre-
scented.

Eight Years at Purdue

Only once in the eight years Lam
bert has coached here has Purdue
fallen below fourth place in the Con-
ference standing, and that in the
chaotic 1919 season after the war,
when the Boilermakers stood in
seventh place.
Purdue has finished in the Big Ten
since 1919 as follows: 1920, second;
1921, tie for first; 1922, won cham
pionship; 1923, fourth; 1924, tie for
second; 1925, fourth; 1926, tie for
championship, making two titles for
which Purdue has tied and one
championship in eight years.
Many of Lambert's players have
been unanimous choices for all-Con-
ference honor teams, the last being
George Spradling,r so chosen for
three consecutive years, one of the
greatest forwards of all time in the
Big Ten.
What Records Show
The records show Chicago and
Michigan hold one-game edge on
Aambert's teams, and that Purdue is
tied with Minnesota and Illinois in
games played. With other schools
Purdue has an edge, running as
high as eleven games won out Of
fourteen played.
