All That Is Lett of "The Way
OF All Flesh" Is the Title

The management of the Film
Guild is tormented these days. 1t
must know: % How many angels
can pardon-Has Emil jan
nings created better work in Europe
or America? (2) Which of jan
nings' characterizations is his best
and why? Result: A referendum
and an essay contest. And to re-
fresh the movie fans memories, the
Guild is screening Jannings roper
toire for period of three weeks.
The first revival, "The Way of All
FLESH" was shown Saturday, and
Sunday. 1t has been advertised
somewhere as "a powerful tragedy
of the capitalist system" Indeed, it
might have been that in the hands of
director less concerned with jan
nings as an actor and with a little
more preoccupation for background
and action rather than an over
emphasis on individual psychology.
CA shortcoming even more evident
IN The Last Laugh.O
Hollywood was over anxious to
exploit the German star ito the last
drop" and the result in "The Way of
All Flesh" is an endless series of
close-ups of facial expressions that
cause the story to take on a second
airy character and give unnecessary
prominence to Jannings as an artist.
Moreover, an otherwise good story
was weakened by patches of puerile
sentimentality. We refer especially
to the scenes in which the father
listens to his son playing a cradle
song at concert. This sequence is
most unfortunate break in the
film and flavors of all that is rotten
and hokum in the average run of
Hollywood films.
Perhaps some day those incom-
petents in whose hands rests the
fate of the American cinema will
learn to understand the medium they
are handling and will free it from
all the historic prejudices that are
hindering its further development. If
that day ever comes, perhaps we
will be spared the torture of seeing

We might add parenthetically that

have to rely on great screen ar
lists" for their success. But this
leads us away from our subject
leads US, in fact, as far as the Soviet
Union and the discussion of the
great things that have been achieved
there.
A short quotation gives US Samuel
Buffers views on questions OF
morality but fails to elucidate for US
the need for borrowing "The Way of
All Flesh" as title for this picture.
But that is perhaps the least. I.

was waiter on the United Fruit
ship Calamares, a freighter and pas
senger boat. This boat is just back
from Costa RIGA with load of ban
anas.
The conditions for the workers on
the ship are rotten. The food served
the workers is not fit for human be-
ings. The quarters of the men are
rotten, the hunks full of bugs and
other crawling things.
Unsanitary Conditions.
Sweating in hot weather, the
workers have no facilities for wash
ing. One pail is supplied for every

the crew and the kitchen help by the
unsanitary conditions of the hunks
end of the rotten food and the lack
of washing facilities.
For the entire crew the million

one shower-salt water-one pump,
which is, as a rule, out of order, and

of the sailing ship days. The toilet,
too, is generally out of order.

The wages I got were $45 a

Negro Slaves.
In Costa RIGA mostly Negro work
ers load the boats; most of these
slaves are imported by the United
Fruit Company from the island of
Jamaica, in the West Indies. They
slave like hell for practically no
wages. They work over IL hours
q day.
In Havana the boat takes on Ne
gro laborers to paint the ship. They
also get starvation wages for long
hours. Every time the Calamares
sails there is an entirely new crew
aboard, so rotten are the conditions.
Booze is sold the crew so they won't
think about their exploitation and
thus organize to fight it. The crew
is all unorganized. The only time
they take a job on a United Fruit
ship is when they cannot get any
other work. That's how rotten the
crews of United Fruit boats are
treated.
The exploited sailors of the Gala
mares and other United Fruit boats

League, at % South St., to organize
and fight their slavery.

LETTERS FOR NUMERALS
ON PLATES CRITICIZED

Maryland Motor Vehicle Commits
sioner Says Pennsylvania Plan
Bewilders Those on Highways.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, December THE trial
by the State of Pennsylvania Of auto
mobile license plates bearing series of
letters instead of numerals does not
appeal to E. Austin Baughman, motor
vehicle commissioner, AS a practical in
novation.
Mr.. Baughman said that in his
opinion the present system Of the neigh
boring State of using letters to deSls-
nate series of numerals is helpful III
simplifying the reading of plates where
large registrations exist, but the mix
ing of letters would serve only to be-
wilder those attempting to take the
licenses of motorists.
In an announcement by Benjamin G.
Eynon, motor vehicle commissioner OF
Pennsylvania, test plates will be issued
for privately owned vehicles to try out
the plan for a general issue in 1881.
The plates will bear single, double ano
triple sets, of letters.

SERVICE STATIONS NOW LISTED
AUTOMOBILE BEAUTY PARLORS
Definite Trend in Construction and Equip
ment Held to Justify Compliment.
Quick Service Also Noted.

polishing the car really looks like new
OF course this cleaning process also
includes the polishing of the nickel
parts as well as of the main body.
If the top Of the car appears to be in
need of fresh coat of finish, this is
applied in very short order. Worn or
scratched tenders, bumpers, or other
parts finished in black, are readily
touched up and polished.
Naturally such service station has
special divisions for the comfort Of lady
customers. There are spacious rooms
especially for ladies, where women who
read or enjoy the latest features being
broadcast from radio stations.
Splendid Improvement Noted.
All of this is a Splendid improvement
on what used to be the situation az far
as service stations are concerned. So
is the architectural excellence which is
now characteristic of many of the mod
ern Servicing places. Quite a few of
them are structures of real beauty
which add much to the good looks Of
their environment. But what the aver
age motorist wants to find in an up
to-date center of this kind Is some
first-claSS automobile mechanics who
understand what car is all about.
Here also there has been a definite
advance. Nowadays when one owns or
operates motor vehicle one can go to
a service station and expect to get some
genuine attention to the machine by a
technician who knows his business. This
situation represents big satisfaction to
the motoring public.
OF course, 1t is still true that there
are service stations which make a spe-
cialty of servicing a particular make of
car. People who own cars of a certain
make will do well to make 1t regular
practice to do most of their business
in the line Of auto repairs at such
places. That is the method IF securing
the most satisfaction over a period of a
cars life. However, when one Is OF on
tour If a station which specializes on
ones particular kind of car is not avail
able in the near vicinity when trouble
is experienced, acceptable service can
usually be secured from number Of
reliable places. This is fine sign of
the times.

Debutante Cars Being Prepared
For National Automobile Show

Several hundred fine show cars now
are receiving finishing touches at busy
factories, looking forward to presenta
ton at the national automobile shows.
Great values are promised for these
1880 debutantes, which will make their
bow in Grand Central Palace in New
York on January 4 and then will move
on to Chicago for the show in the Col
1Seum from January 25 to February /.
Considered externally, the cars of
1880 have beauty as their keynote.
While a glance at some of the highly
polished chassis reveals engines and
working units which are extremely
pleasing to the eye and quite the
poetry of notion" without exception
the manufacturers in planning their
new models have made an effort to
make them more beautiful in various
ways. A number evidently assume that
the public takes for granted the fact
that cars generally have plenty of
power and speed. It is no longer nec-
essary to dwell on such points as pick
up, hill-climbing prowess, fiexibility
etc. With the new type of light,
high-Speed motors, especially the skies
and eightS, the buyer no longer wor-
ries about getting plenty of reserve
power. In endeavoring to apply art to
industry more intensively, the automo-
bile designers have made considerable
progress. Having ascertained that
greater comfort and more rakiSh ap-
pearance can be obtained by hanging
the body lower, cars will continue to
be hung low-Some lower than ever be-
fore. This happens to be true of the
new front-wheel drive designs offered
this season.
Better Proportions Obtained.
In lowering the body, better propor-
tions have been obtainable in the mat
ter Of relation between wheels, hood,
radiator, tenders, etc. One char
acteristic Of 1880 certainly will be the
excellent appearance of the cars-the
entire chassis and body appearing to be
a unit rather than a series of units
stuck together. This is exemplifled in
some cases in the trunk carried on the
rear platform, the trunk having rounded
corners to harmonic with the rounded
corners OF the body and tenders rather
than simply the conventional trunk
square corners.
AS for the lines and masses enter
ing into the design, style creators have
been most successful in giving the sill
houette OF the car q dynamic appear
ance with a flow of lines in perfect
rhythm. The vogue of streamline bodies
in order to make for greater speed, of
course, naturally enhances the rhythm
AS for color, there are a number of
combinations worked out by designers
for 1880 which, while not new. funda-
mentally, nevertheless are novel as to
shade. tone and proportion. During the
past ID months considerable progress
has been made IN producing permanent
