JUDGE JUDGING *be The ne Way or ALL FLesu” is 1 good movie, Emil Jan- nings, the German favorite, pulls this, his first American pic- ture, out of the ham division and makes it a very effective produc- tion. He is cast as a home and beer loving Milwaukee German of. the late nineties. He goes native with one of those blondes in Chicago, loses the bank securities, kills a man in a fight, and all together has a usual night of good, clean fun in Chicago. They mistake the dead man for Herr Jannings, so he remains an outcast the rest of his life, returning home on Christmas eve long enough to peer in the windows of his old home while the snow pelts down on his broken shoulders—and it’s good nevertheless. The detail of his home life is done carefully—for once we have a middle-class home in the movies that does not look like a theatrical rooming house.

The afternoon I saw the movie sure enough there were several men weeping in and among the audience. I made a quiet canvass, and they all ad- mitted that they were strong men. All except one chap who con- fessed that he used to be a strong man until his girl, a golden-haired lassie from Port Chester, aw with a real estate saleman, but that since that time he had been living on gum-drops and home-made gin. However, frankly, I don’t believe the fellow was ever very strong. went iG was a good week, what with Jannings and Raymond Griffith.
