STATE THEATRE
GEORGE ARLISS— "HIS LORDSHIP" TO-NIGHT. "His Lordship," with George Arliss, screens at the State Theatre to-night. George Arliss strikes good form in this stoiy 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," two very dissimilar and difficult roles with polish and rare genius. To the producers, and eapecid!ly the designers of the "split-screen" scenes, all honour must go for a very notable aehievement. Cast as Vera, a private secretary, Rene Ray, of "Passing of the Third Floor Back" fame, shines brightly. Her "lover" is a young man named Romily Lunge, and, if this initial appearanee is any criterion, he is headed for the big lights. Who said Britaiu had no personable leading men?
