Sexy German dancer and film actress La Jana (1905-1940) was the most popular show girl of Berlin in the 1930’s. She appeared in 25 European films, often dancing in exotic costumes. In 1940, she suddenly died of pneumonia and pleurisy.
La Jana was born as Henriette Margarethe Hiebel in Mauer near Wien (Vienna), Austria-Hungary, in 1905. ‘Henny’ was the second and youngest daughter of heinrich and Anna Hiebel. Her older sister, Anny, was later trained as an opera singer. Her father was a gild master and the family moved to Frankfurt, when Henny was only two years. At the age of eight she already appeared in the children's ballet of the Frankfurt Opera. Henny completed a dance training at the Opera Ballet in Frankfurt and became a dancer in cabarets and revues. In Trude Hesterberg’s cabaret Die wilde Bühne (The Wild Stage) in 1921, she performs her own improvisations. In Paris, she met Géza von Cziffra, who, according to his autobiography, brought her to Berlin, director Friedrich Zelnik and the cinema. He writes: “"... And there I saw her dance for the first time: this woman had the most beautiful body I had seen in my life. The girl, that moved here up and down in the stage lights (...) was boyishly built: slim hips, almost only a hint of breasts. She was a simple, friendly, approachable girl but she had as much interest for sex as Immanuel Kant. " There are at least three different versions of the discovery of La Jana. According to contemporary sources, La Jana was discovered in cabaret Weinklause in Frankfurt by a nightclub owner from Paris, and later returned as a dancer to Berlin. Another report says that La Jana was hired overnight as a substitute for Claire Bauroff, the ill star of a Revue in Dresden and that she later also received offers from Berlin.However, in 1925 she made her first film appearance in Wege zu Kraft und Schönheit - Ein Film über moderne Körperkultur/Ways to Strength and Beauty (1925, Nicholas Kaufmann, Wilhelm Prager). This film about the ‘modern body culture' was very much an artefact of the Naturist fad that swept Germany at the time. Friedrich Zelnik engaged her for his production company the Deutsche Film Union (Defu), and employed her in silent films like Der Biberpelz/The Beaver Fur (1928, Erich Schönfelder). She also appeared in international silent films such as the Danish-German production Die weisse Geisha/The White Geisha (1926, Valdemar Andersen, Karl Heiland), the Swedish production En perfekt gentleman/A Perfect Gentleman (1927, Vilhelm Bryde, Gösta Ekman) in which she costarred with Gösta Ekman and Hans Albers, and the French-German-Belgian production Thérèse Raquin/Shadows of Fear (1928, Jacques Feyder) based on the novel by Emile Zola. La Jana became engaged in 1926 to actor Ulrich Bettac. In that year, she still used her civil name Henny Hiebel and she moved to Berlin with her fiancé. A few years later, this relationship was resolved.
La Jana danced in revues in Berlin, Stockholm (1933) and London (1934-1935) and she participated in the shows An und Aus (To and From) by Herman Haller, Casanova by Erik Charell and Die schöne Helena (The beautiful Helen) by Max Reinhardt. In the revue Casanova La Jana was served half naked, on a silver platter to the audience. The reaction of the public was accordingly: La Jana was the talk of Berlin. In his autobiography Géza von Cziffra claims that La Jana had an affair with Kronprinz Wilhelm (Crown Prince William) but dismisses rumors about an affair between La Jana and Joseph Goebbels. The show Streamline by Charles B. Cochran led La Jana 1934 on a tour throughout England and Scotland. Upon her return to Germany in 1936, she made almost every year one or more films. The sound film had underlined her dancing in an optimal way with the audible music and she had had success with her appearance in Der Schlemihl/The Unlucky Devil (1931, Max Nosseck) as a dancer opposite Curt Bois. The circus drama Truxa (1937, Hans H. Zerlett) made La Jana in one stroke acquainted all over Germany. At IMDB Jan Onderwater writes about her performance: “La Jana, here in her first major part, cannot dance but she is not that bad an actress as she is reputed to have been; with her half naked body she is exotic and lovely to look at.”
La Jana traveled to India for the films Der Tiger von Eschnapur/The Tiger of Eschnapur (1938, Richard Eichberg) and Das indische Grabmal/The Indian Tomb (1938, Richard Eichberg), co-starring with Frits van Dongen (aka Philip Dorn) and Theo Lingen. Millions of people admired the exotic magic of the film and of La Jana. Filmportal.de analyzes: “although typifying the embodiment of the ‘non-ayran’ woman, which clearly contradicted the ideal vision of womanliness of the Dritten Reich, she became for this same very reason the ideal projection of all the various desires of the public.” Her next films films were the musical Es leuchten die Sterne/The Stars Shine (1938, Hans H. Zerlett) and the crime film Menschen vom Variete/People from the Music Hall (1939, Josef von Báky) with Hans Holt. After she refused to go herself, Goebbels sent her on tour for the Wehrmacht in 1939/1940. Her fame made her a sure crowd-puller. It was a cold winter and she wore little clothes on the stage. She became ill with pneumonia on both lungs in February 1940. She was only 35. On 13 March 1940, La Jana died of pneumonia and pleurisy in a hospital in Berlin. She could not experience the glamorous world premiere of her last film, Stern von Rio/Star of Rio (1940, Karl Anton), at the Berlin Ufa Palast am Zoo. In 1954 a person appeared who claimed to be La Jana's son. After Anny Bittlinski, La Jana's sister, denied his story he was charged with forgery and fraud. There was also a rumor that La Jana helped Jews escape from Germany. The SS would have killed her for this and the pneumonia story would have been invented to conceal the murder. The name ‘La Jana’ is supposed to originate from the Indian language, and to mean ‘The Flower-like’. In fact La Jana is a purely invented name and has only superficial similarities with words from Sanskrit. How Henny Hiebel came to her artist name is not recorded. Henny Hiebel and a partner performed for a time under the name ‘The Charming Sisters’. There are some Swedish autograph cards of her with the name Lary Jana. The mystery remains.

Westbound NS train 31KB318 is seen at Schneider, Indiana on July 18th, 2006. Train had BNSF-EMD-BN-CR-NS painted locomotives and is seen coming off of NYC's Egyptian line and onto NYC's 3-I line. This slow-moving move happened many times daily for a lot of years but now I understand that these trains aren't running here anymore and the only trains in Schneider now are the coal trains and a local job out of Calumet or Landers yard. I haven't actually been back here in awhile, so that could be rumors.
In this photo, NS 31K has just received their permit to run Schneider to K3 and have a slow clear indication on the old bracketed NYC signal. The retired elevator tracks are seen in the foreground. View looks S/E from old 41.

This was one of the competitors in the 4 lap handicap race for Edwardian Cars at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in August 1992. It's the 1913 Theophile Schneider of Roger Firth, and has a 4-cylinder inline 5,504cc engine. A note about the car in the programme of the event says:
'The 5.5 litre Theophile Schneider of Roger Firth was built up by John Rowley and is of the type which ran in the 1913 French Grand Prix at Amiens with an L-had side-valve engine.'
