Critics have agreed that it was an
undertaking OF peculiar difficulty
which Louis y Parker assumed in the
position OF the drama of the life of
one OF England's greatest statesmen,
but a task OF far greater difficulty
for George Arliss TO interpret the role
Of 'Disraelf'.
For the dramatist there was not
only a personality as picturesque as
any in history. but a character SO
dynamic. controlling situation of
such importance in the destiny OF an
empire that the drama was really
there, waiting only 10 be cast into
scenes and acts with such skill as the
playwright might bring TO his task.
But for a played to enact the char
acter OF so important an historical
persOnage-and that while many of
these acquainted with the real Dis
Taeli were still alive ready critically
to compare the original with the
cOunterpart-that truly was an I'M
dertaking.
That the Interpretation OF Mr.. Ar
liss seen at the oliver last night must
have measured up to the demands of
these latter must be attested by the
extraordinary success Of the play. OF
the actors cOnsummate art there
could be no more eloquent tribute.
The play itself is, in these present
times, so extraordinary and so differ
ent from the ordinary run of plays,
that il is perhaps difficult 10 view it as
a play alone in its proper perspective
at first. Being as II is page out OF
contemporary history and revealing
with such vividness upon what slen-
der threads hang the fate of empires,
and how sovereign titles are aug
mented, il is apt at first to stagger
one with its very stupendousness.
49, 4 .
"Disraeli' are met with supreme and
cOnsummate art by Mr.. ArIiss. The
eccentricities, the subtleties, the
strength and power of the character
as history knows il, are portrayed
with a genuineness and adequacy that
brings a living, breathing flesh and
blood man wildly before an audience
which, in all but exceptional cases,
knows him but as one whose names
occupies a page in the printed his
tories
In his presentation the star is sup
ported by an adequate company. Mrs.
Arliss gives a sympathetic interpreta-
ton of Disraelis wife. Lady BeacOns-
field Leila Repton was very con-
vincing as the naughty Duchess of
Glastonbury typical of those mobiles
who added to the laurels of the tri-
umphant Disraeli by the manifestation
of their very ill-cOncealed prejudice
against his race.
Margaret Dale in the role of the
secret Russian agent was sufficiently
subtle both in manner and in voice
to give a convincing, though neces-
/ sarily obvious, Interpretation of the
SPY. Ernita Lascelles as Lady Clar-
issa was sufficiently winsome as the
sweetheart to furnish love motive in
/ the plot
| Charles Harbury as the governor of
