...murnau) was born in 1889, educated at Heidelberg and Berlin University. He got Max Reinhardt to give him a part in The Miracle. In 1921 he started to make movies in Berlin?The Hunchback & The Dancer, The Janus' Head, Nosferatu.

Inspired by its sense of responsibility as a moulder of public opinion, the CRIMSON will not go to California and laugh it off.

Pianist Pattison's contribution is just as important but he makes it more quietly, focuses more on his piano...
Somebody was bound to start fun-poking at the late greatly ballyhooed Byrd Antarctic Expedition. Vaudevillian Fred Allen has already made Manhattan audiences laugh about it in Three's a Crowd, but Bird Life at the Pole is the first full-length parody. The story is supposed to have been told to Mr. Gibbs in a low hurried voice by Commander Christopher Robin, who was sent to the Antarctic as a news stunt by Publisher Herbst. When the expedition's ship, the Lizzie Borden, got to the Panama Canal, she was towed through by a Mr. Burton, swimming...
