DISRAELI DRAWS CROWDS One doubts whether there will be another picture this season or many seasons to come that will equal “Disraeli,” the screen version of the famous stage play, produced by Warner Brothers with George Arliss in the < leading role. Mr. Arliss is a great actor. ! There is a power and subtlety to his interpretations that is amazing. To watch him in the role of Disraeli, the I remarkable statesman who became Prime Minister of England, is to know the thrill of witnessing something that is powerfully dramatic. It would be unfortunate to miss this really fine production. There are not many actors like Mr. Arliss .and thcr* are not many pictures like “Disraeli.” It is an artistic achievement and Warner Brothers are to be congratulated for presenting to the screen public a film of such splendour .and intelligence The cast supporting Mr. Arliss is an unusually good one. Florence Arli«=s plays Lady Beaconsfield. Disraeli’s wife. Joan Bennett is beautiful as Lady Clarissa and gives a commendable performance. Anthony Bushel!. David Torrence, Ivan Simpson and Doris Lloyd all deserve special mention for their good work.
