ST. JAMES
“DISRAELI” “Disraeli" has been an unprecedented success at St. James Theatre. George Arliss’s characterisation of ths great British Prime Minister is superb. All his trials and his trumpbs. hid loibles and his vanities, are brought before the audience to the life. His speaking voice is perfection. The film is an epic of the Empire. The struggle against Russia to gain the Suez Canal, and thereby to protect India, and at the same time to allow Disraeli to fulfil his heart’s desire of making Queen Victoria Empress of India, is vividly shown. How he was constantly shadowed by spies paid with Russian gold, how the little Englanders could not or would not see the great scheme he had in mind; so that he had to threaten to smash the Bank of England, in order to get the money lie so badly needed, are all excellently presented. Master minds of political diplomacy, inside workings of secret agents, the of female spies, and the vast ambitions of great nations seeking world control.
