“DISRAELI” The crowning achievement of Disraeli, in making Queen Victoria Empress of India, forms the conclusion of the gripping drama, "Disraeli,” the Vitaphone production, now enjoying a successful run at St. James Theatre.

"Woven through this plot of diplomacy is a charming love story, carried by Anthony Bushell and Joari Bennett. Florence Arliss, the star's wife, plays the lead opposite him as Lady Beaconsfield. A 1 Green directed this Vitaphone version of the highly successful stage play, "Disraeli.” which was written especially for Arliss by Louis N. Parker. The cast supporting Arliss includes David Torrence. Ivan Simpson and Doris Lloyd. This picture is screened thrice daily, at 11 a.m., 2.15 p.m. and 8 p.m.
