Screen History
"[ HE whole business of selecting, casting, rehearsing, and filming that long series of screen stories that began with "The Green Goddess" and "Disraeli," and has given us, since, "The House of Rothschild," "Old Enplish."
"The Iron Duke," "Voltaire," and so 6n, is so clearly described and illustrated that I suppose this may very well come to be regarded as a classic chapter of screen history, written from a point of view which itself has historic interest. Arliss had the traditional training of the stage and reached his full fame upon it: then, just at the moment
when sound-film production began to move from crudity to artistic development, he transferred his experience and his fame to share in its progress and influence it. That can’t happen again-(j. H. E. Schroder, reviewing "George Arliss,’ by Himself, 3YA September 3).
