“DISRAELI”
“Disraeli,” a Warner Bros, and Vitaphoue production starring George Arliss, coming to Auckland shortly, is the talking screen’s first attempt at historical drama, and it is a triumph. George Arliss’s portrayal of Disraeli, that shrewd and ambitious diplomat, runs the gamut of characterisation. Now he is sardonic, now apprehensive. A turn of the wheel of chance, and his carefully laid plans miscarry. An unexpected move on the chess-board of politics, and Russia may reach out and wrest the coveted Suez Canal.
Intrigue, counter-intrigue, romance, strategy—George Arliss deftly brings out the nuance of each passing emotion of the mysterious super-statesman, Disraeli.
A brilliant supporting cast composed entirely of English players, make this production a compelling and clever drama.
