Botto, a world-famous circus clown, is negative towards females, because a beautiful woman he once loved laughed at him for his job at the circus. André, a young artist, is Botto’s opposite. He loves women. His current love is Hanna, who also works in the circus. That’s when Botto meets Blanche, a middle-class girl.

Many thanks to musiclova @KG and to Dan Willard @Filmsbytheyear for the English subtitles, they both made a different set of subtitles so I made a hybrid combining the best lines out of each one.
This looks wonderful. Thanks!
Many scenes are just magical.
The draw for me was Werner Krauss whose body of work prior to his hate -filled and disgraceful performance in Jude Suss was memorable and will live in film history. This film is similar to Chaney’s Laugh Clown Laugh made in the same year and with similar tropes of the sad clown underneath the greasepaint. It has as a previous viewer noted some very good scenes. Jenny Jugo an actress I don’t know at all is very good and has a sad prettiness that makes her very watchable. The print is also good,the titling somewhat anachronistic(I am not sure men were called dudes in those days) and musical score good enough. Thanks to Jon for adding this to the list.
