“VARIETY” TO BE CINEMA TREAT OF FALLSEASON New Emil Jannings Picture Is Said to Bea Triumph. By Jack Jungmeyer, NEA Service Writer. HOLLYWOOD, July 17.—“Variety,’i a German film directed by Andre Dupont, and soon to be released in this country by Paramount, ranks among the foremost of those muchdiscussed Importations which contrast so strangely with our native product. „ Dealing with the traglo love of a trio of trapeze artist in the Berlin Wlntergarten, distinguished for its prime acting and smart handling, Its amazing camera angles ahd Its absorbing concern with details of llfo seldom pictured on the American screen, "Variety” also introduces actress whose vogue may follow tnwi course of Pola Negri’s. She Is Lya de Putti, well known to Europe, but a stranger here. De Putti is the cautious enchantress who, in the play, Involves the characters played by the great Emil Jannings and Warrick Ward in sudden and terrible disaster. She has a singular, voluptuous charm, and gives, in the lighter as welLns the more tragic moments, a brilliant performance. The tragedy coils slowly and with fascinating whorls in the big “variety” house and the lodgings of the trapeze performers, then strikes like a viper, its climax as powerful as the slaying of Nancy Sykes In "Oliver Twist.” The slow trudge of "Boss Huller,,” the husband, played by Jannings, departing from the scene of his crime, with the disloyal wife clinging to him with frantic futility, is an unforgettable scene. The purely picturesque, sparkling and often grotesquely comic elements of the play, nicely balanced by the genius of Du Pont*..agreeably modify the grimmer situations.
