	The Last Laugh
		Murnau's "The Last Laugh" (1924) tells this story in one of the most famous of silent films, and one of the most truly silent, because it does not even use printed intertitles.
		Silent directors were proud of their ability to tell a story through pantomime and the language of the camera, but no one before Murnau had ever entirely done away with all written words on the screen (except for one sardonic comment we'll get to later).
		Jannings came to America at the same time as Murnau, won the Academy Award for "The Last Command" (1928), was rendered unemployable by the rise of the talkies, returned to Germany, and found one of his most famous roles, as Marlene Dietrich's erotically mesmerized admirer in "The Blue Angel" (1930).

	The Last Laugh
		The Last Laugh is the penultimate expressionistic street film, full of sets that look both realistic and fantastic at the same time, unsettling multiple exposures, operatic performances whose weight you can really feel on your chest, and a magic that few movies made after audio took over have been able to tap.
		The main character, the Last Man (Letze Mann) of the original German title, is the hotel doorman, an imposing but elderly man with an enormous mustache that continues all the way to his sideburns past an amazing flourish of hair that extends from his cheeks.
		In The Last Laugh the man derives his power and swagger from his uniform, from alcohol and from wealth; without at least one of the three he is a stooped wreck of a human being.

	Last laugh
		I suppose you mean "last laugh" as in "Jack had the last laugh".
		It means, roughly, that if someone plays a joke on you or humiliates you in order to laugh at you, you may be able to turn that around to your advantage and laugh at them, perhaps by playing an even bigger joke on them or by coming out the situation even better than before.
		So it's better to laugh because you have overcome some humiliation than it is to laugh because you are humiliating someone.

		This technique in The Last Laugh allows us to know the smallest corner of the lugubrious Atlantic Hotel.

		Throughout the last 50 years, Schulz's characters were prototypes of people, too, life copying art, as Wilde predicted.
		He made a world-famous name because of a natural sympathy for the underdog.
		In short, when Peanuts comes to an end (the last daily strip runs Jan. 3; the last Sunday strip runs Feb. 13), it ought to be remembered that Schulz's kind of sympathy was once considered a national virtue in America--a virtue that has, I fear, been mislaid somewhere along the line.
