When “Disraeli." the gripping Vitaphone drama, coming to the St. James Theatre, 'is shown in England, Australia, etc., there will be no outcry against “American accent.” No Yankee twang will be heard In the scenes representing No. 10 Downing Street, the famous official home of British Premiers, or at Hughenden. Disraeli’s country home. Neither will there be any “stage Englishmen” of the type who in past years either used to appear with a topper and monocle and say “what, what, really don’t you know,"” old chappy, I say,” or else, ‘Hi sy. whe e’s the blinkin’ bloomin’ nub?” “Disraeli*’ has a cast that is practically all English and English of the truest sort is spoken. George Arliss, of course, is English, and so is his wife, Florence Arliss. who plays one of the important roles. Anthony Bushell, George Atkinson. Ivan Simpson. David Torrence, Jack Derry, Henry Carvill and several other players are all British.
