It is one of the interesting

ana Chefe Is no reason why II
should not repeat its success here.
Several levels of appeal are repre-
sented in these pioneering screen
works, ranging from the curiosity
aroused by heirlooms to the visible
evidence of the films influence
upon today's productions.
Although they confirm to some
tegree the notion that silent films
were sometimes almost grotesquely
over-acted, THE Cabinet" and
Last Laugh" are also clear in
timations that few early movie
makers recognized the medium as
an art form.
In many interesting respects.
they have remarkably met the
test of time, far more so than
many later model works which are
earning the jeers of discriminating
televiewerS.
OF the two ancient films, made
in 1920, the purely personal prefer
ence of this reviewer is "The Last
Laugh" starring Emil Jennings. In
terms of today's softly modulated
acting. Jannings' performance is
undeniably exaggerated. NeVerthe-
less, he is mining a story as per-
tinent today as it was 80 years
ago and one that looks at life
more searchingly than two dozen
modern movie plots.
THE Last Laugh" was originally
and more dramatically titled "The
Least of Men
It is the story of the unwilling
cruelty of society to the individual
grown too old to serve it. Jannings'
Least of Men" is a particularly
pitiable specimen of his kind.
He is the doorman of a fash
ionable hotel. It is a job that
brings him into contact with the
famous and celebrated of the day.
It not only permits, but requires,
that he wear a great, ornamental
coat that is fit for an emperor. 1t
is such a coat that transforms a
man, gives him a sense of dignity
and worth and the inspiration to
do his work with a military crisp
nesS
Jannings wears his coat with
great distinction, not only during
working hours, but off-duty going
to and from the slum where he
lives and where he is treated as
a kingly man should be, with de-
ference but also with deserved af-
fection.
When the coat is worn. the
proud hotel replaces it with new
one but it's doorman has an ir-
replaceable body. When it is worn
out, it's owner is transferred to
the mems washroom as an at
tendant who hands towels to the
patrons.
This death-in-life of the least
of men is made a perfectly real
lied character in Jannings' pam
tomime. If, in contrast to today's
