STATE THEATRE
GEORGE ARUSS— "HIS LORDSHIP" TO-NIGHT. "His Lordship," with George Arliss, screens at the State Theatre to-night. George Arliss strikes good form in this story of twin brothers who are as unlike as chalk and cheese. Playing both parts, he succeeds in tricking Eastern murderers, outgeneralling the British Cabinet, and bringing two young people together — all in very convincing style. Arliss can boast real versatility He confounds the critics by playing, in "His Lordship,5' two very dissimilar and difficult roles with polish and rare genius. To the producers, and espeeidlly the designers of the " split-scieen " scenes, all honour must go for a very notable achievement. Cast as Vera, a private secretary, Kene Kay, of "Passing of the Third Floor Back" fame, shines brightly. Her "lover" is a young man named Romily Lunge, and, if this initial appearance is auy criterion, he is hea'ded for the big lights. Who said Britain had no personable ieading men?
