Adapted from Moliéres
by CARL MAYER
Directed by F.W.MURNAU

"Great is the number of
hypocrites on earth..."

"...and many are the forms
in which they appear....!"

"Many a time we unsuspectingly
sit next to them --!"

"For see --!"

"Perhaps, Your Honour
would write the letter
to the Notary today --?"

"The letter to the Notary --"

My dear Notary!
I have learned from information
gathered by my faithul old house-keeper
that my grandson is leading a most unworthy
and dissipated life - he having become
an actor a...

...actor against my will. -
I therefore have decided to leave
my entire fortune to the good old
lady who attends to my household.

"Now for the letter-box!"

"-- ring to your heart's
content --"

"Your grandson! The actor!"

"Grandfather!"

"Out with you!"

"But, Granddad!"

"Get out, I say!"

"Someone's been handing you
too much 'soft soap'..."

"Get out, I say!"

"Perhaps the young gentleman
would call again
some other day!"

"You, who witnessed this scene,
may rest assured that I shall not
give in without a struggle."

"I shall come back
and release my grandfather
from this humbug."

"The Touring Cinema!
The grand Touring Cinema!"

"We want no cinema!"

"But, fair lady --!"

"Fair lady --"

"What will you show --?"

"A story of Saints
and Sinners --"

"Wait a minute!"

"Pictures! Pictures!
What nonsence!"

"Whereas, as a rule,
day-in, day-out, I only
consider my master's well-being!"

"-- I shall come!"

"I shall be back
in a minute."

"The title of the comedy --"

"Tartuffe - or the play
of Mr. Orgon and his
well beloved friend."

"Persons in the play."

A play of all times
and all realms.

"Voila, the play
can begin!"

"Elmira is expecting
her husband back from
a long journey."

"The carriage is in sight."

"Dorine, I am so happy!"

"Elmire, if you knew
how happy I am!"

"Then kiss me!"

"To kiss is to sin -
so teaches my friend Tartuffe."

Tartuffe - who is
your friend Tartuffe?"

"A saintly man...
I hurried on to prepare all
for his reception."

"Hullo, Pierre, Jean, Jacques!
Clear out all this rubbish.
Mr. Tartuffe does not approve
of luxuries!"

"I do not recognize him."

"It's like
a religious mania."

"I'll bring him to his
sences - I'll give him
a piece of my mind."

There is a quaint looking
fellow waiting outside the house.
He says he is expected.

"You fool! And you didn't
ask him in?"

"For heaven's sake put the
lights out. Tartuffe does not
approve of extravagance."

"What an alarming
looking fellow!"

"Hullo - Jacques - Jean -
Pierre, Camille!"

"Tartuffe does not approve
of so many servants, and so..."

"-- you shall leave --"

"-- and you --"

"-- and you --"

"-- go - all of you --!"

"Oh, dear Sir, for twenty years
have I been in your service.
Don't send me away!"

"You shall stay --"

"-- to wait on Mr. Tartuffe."

In the morning, Mr. Orgon
personally sets the breakfast
table for Mr. Tartuffe."

"First our morning prayer --"

"Forgive me, my brother!"

"Sinful frivolity!"

"I just found the master's
pocket book --!"

Reverves? from Mr. Orgon
500 Shillings
for the poor.
500,-- Tartuffe

Reverves? from Mr. Orgon
700 Shillings
for the poor.
700,-- Tartuffe

Reverves? from Mr. Orgon
2000 Shillings
for the poor.
2000,-- Tartuffe

"Where is this Tartuffe?"

"Orgon..."

"...Dearest!"

"Orgon, I must talk to you.
Please be sensible."

"Gently, you'll wake him -- "

"Good heavens, Orgon -- "

"--how unkempt and
neglected you are!"

About the vanity of earthly things.
The love of your wife and other persons
must be reset to nothing compared with the
love you owe me, your holy friend Tartuffe

"This fellow is imposing
on you!"

"Wait till you know
him --"

"-- and you will look
up to him as I do --"

"Think how happy
we were!"

"I love you!"

"I love you!"

"There, now you've
disturbed him!"

"My brother, I fear
you are cold!"

"Very well, -- I will try to get
to know your friend Tartuffe."

"Send him to me."

"Oh, convince her and
convert her to your
way of thinking!"

"If you are a true friend
of my husband's --"

"-- then quit this house
and go away from here."

"You are forcing my husband
into religious fanaticism."

"Dear lady --"

"-- Heaven sent me
to you --"

"In that case -- pray --
forgive me!"

"The impudent fellow!
Call my husband immediately!"

"I won't have my friend
slandered!"

"-- and if I were to
give you proofs -- ?"

"-- I will put him to the test
and you -- without being
seen -- shall be my witness."

"Right -- make whatever
arrangements necessary!"

"His blind credulity forces
me to take this step."

Dear Mr. Tartuffe!
I beg your pardon
that I brote off our
conversation in this way.
I should like to talk
over one or two things with you.
Will you take a cup of tea
with me this afternoon?
Mrs. Elmire

"I accept your suggestion
merely in order to
convince you!"

"Very well, we will see
how he stands the test."

"Here he comes."

"Oh, that you would but
believe my words --"

"Spare me this
masquerade!"

"I believe in him --!"

"-- I wish to -- confess
to you --"

"...why I asked you to leave
us this morning..."

"I fear -- I too might
fall under the spell of
your personality."

"-- I fear -- I love you!"

"I felt a draft!"

"Is it a sin to love
you -- a saint?"

"I have listened to
your confession."

"I shall pray for you!"

"Now, do you believe
in him?"

"Yes, but he must
never know --"

"-- that I induced you
to listen."

"Oh, my Lord! Have mercy
on the unhappy woman!"

"There is no other way --
I must risk all to save
my husband."

"I must see you... alone!"

"Send Dorine to bed
early tonight."

"Oh, my Lord, give me
the strength to rescue
my husband from the
clutches of this hypocrite!"

When Dorine went
to bed --

I herewith bequeath to my
faithful friend, Tartuffe,
my entire fortune ---

"I implore you -- ask no
questions, oh my master,
but come with me!"

"Look! -- that you may
be cured!"

"I am so afraid my
husband might come in."

"No fear! He is obediently
writing his last will and
testament in my favor."

"Are we not sinning?"

"Who sins in secret,
does not sin!"

"You say that --
a Saint?"

"I -- a Saint -- ?"

"Now, are you convinced,
Orgon?"

"Oh, my Lord, I thank
you for helping me to
regain my husband's love!"

"From this time forth,
all hypocrites are called
Tartuffe!"

"Often they sit beside you --"

"-- without your
knowing it --"

"You are stealthily trying
to obtain possession of
my grandfather's money."

"Stealthily --?"

Poison!

"A slow but sure
poison --"

"Your role is played out --
go pack your boxes."

"Tartuffe!"

"Tartuffe!"

"Was I blind? How could
I trust that awful person?"

"Dear Grandfather -- none
of us is proof against
hypocrites."

"And therefore you --"

"-- do you know --"

"-- who is sitting beside you?"

THE END
