EMIL JANNINGS
GREAT DRAMATIC ACTOR The great European dramatic actor, Emil Jannings, now with Paramount, doesn’t believe in villains and hatee heroes. The foreign character star, who appeared in “The Way of All Flesh,” his first picture for Paramount, declares that a great many stories have been offered him in which he would be playing a man who was something more or less than human. “I will not play a man who is either too good or too bad to live,” Jannings says. “To be exact, I will not play any fellow who is all good, nor any creature who is all bad. There aren’t any such people, I believe in men—under varying circumstances.” Others in the cast of “The Way of All Flesh,” which Victor Fleming directed for Paramount, include Belle Bennett, Phyllis Haver and Donald Keith.
