Dean Discovers That Shakespeare’s Plays Can and Cannot Be Successfully Placed on the Silver Screen

BY JAMES W. DEAN NEW YORK, March 7.—Can Shakespeare be screened? That is the most frequent query among those interested in the possibilities of the cinema art. After sfeeing the German film version of “Othello” the answer Is— Yes and no. Shakespeare can be screened so far as action and characterization and dramatic Intensity are concerned. But the magic of words is missing and many believe that quality to have been Shakespeare’s greatest forte. This film proves again that literature cannot be screened. The moving silhouette must tell a story completely in its own idiom. However, It Is hardly fair to become so searchingly analytic in judging the "Othello” film. It Is so far superior to hundreds of our claptrap movies that a scarlet blush must spread over one who believes that all of the fine things of the screen are done in Hollywood. Emil Jannings is Othello and Warner Kraus is lago. It is a wonderful combination of talent. The screen has seldom seen two players in one film reach such artistic heights. They always hold the eye. Every gesture, every grimace is meaningful. However, Jannings Is not the Othello that is expected by one who has seen the character on the stage. Nor does Kraus do lago in the accepted manner. -I- *1- IKraus Makes lago a Fiendish Villain. Kraus sought to present lago as a fiend reveling In his villainy, a man who could laugh as he tore the heart out of another. I believe that attitude shows a deeper insight into human nature than the usual picture of grim, mirthless villainy that most of our stage lagos have drawn. Even a villain enjoys his work. However, It seemed to me that Kraus overdid the thing. The Jester, the buffoon almost completely submerges the rogue. -I- -!- -IJannings presents a very coarse, negroid Moor. Shakespeare painted painted Othello as half Egyptian, half Spanish, a man who had arisen to a place of power despite racial prejudice, yet a man of extreme sensitiveness. It was this sensitiveness, this gentility of manner, that made the plot logical. It seemed entirely within the realm of probability that the gentle Desdemona would have fallen In love with such a man. Such a character captures the sympathy of the audience or the reader. The Othello of Jannings. lacking any spiritual quality, does not enlist the sympathy. He does nothing that makes him worthy of Desdemona's love. -I- -I- -ITwo Actors Retain Shakespeare’s Psychology If Jannings and Kraus have run amiss of the characters intended by Shakespeare, they have retained the psychology of the story. The spec.aele of one man working the de-
