Dfsraeli was a schemer of schemes but
everything he did was to promote the
Kingdom Of Great Britain. He saw the
necessity Of England buying the Suez
Canal before Russia could grab hold OF
it. He had only the aid of his gigantic
mental forces to put the deal over. The
Bank Of England refused to support his
ditch" plan in the beginning but his
generalship forced the governor Of the
bank to yield and England purchased the
Suez Canal. That is the central theme OF
this movie and the theme has been de-
Yeloped before a background Of inter-
national intrigue and in powerful dram
attic scenes where Disraeh as Prime Min
lister matched wits with unknown
enemies. He was equally cunning in ex-
posing his enemies, one of the cleverest
Of such scenes being when he exposed
Mrs. Noel Travers as a spy Of Russia.
There are many effective scenes show
ing the great love that Disraeli had for
his wife, Lady Beaconsfield, who was a
frail little woman, but who risked her
health to be by the side Of her husband
during the great hours Of strife when
his very destiny rested IN his decisions
and acts. AS a relief to the dramatic
tension Of the intrigue is the love affair
Of Louise HUFF as Clarissa and Reginald
Denny as Charles, Viscount Deeford, who
becomes first secretary to the Prime Min
lister
Mr.. ARTISTS makeup as DsraeH is to
NY mind one of the best drawn chRrac-
terizations I have ever seen. either on
the stage or screen. The personality and
even natural appearance Of Mr.. Arliss has
been submerged into the very character
whom he impersonates He is not only
careful with the physical appearance Of
his Disraeli. but the mannerisms sug-
gest strength and complete authority un-
I'll the spectator realizes that Disraeli
possessed unlimited power TO force peo-
pie to bow to his will
Probably the most dramatic scene in
the entire play is where DlsraeH forces
Sir Michael Probert, governor Of the
Bank of England TO sign an order ex-
tending unlimited credit to the Suez
project.
You viii have to look a long time be-
fore you see better acting than done
by Mr.. Arliss, f. J. Radcliffe and Sir
Probert in this scene You will feel the
spell of Disraeli as he forces Probert to
sign on the dotted line
/ must not fail TO mention that Mrs
Arliss, the wife Of the star, plays the
Lady Beaconsfleld role in the movie YER
sion, the same part which she created in

Rather strange occurrence, but all

crime is supposed to be the beautiful liar.
but Scotchman is the chief liar IN the
story. Miss Macdonald plays two roles.
She appears TO be more human in this
movie than she has In the past, espe-
cially when she is the little stenographer
or should say. the secretary to
broker. Her actress impersonation is
built upon eccentric lines and IS effective
but does not ring true. In the role OF
the little stenographer, she is natural
and sweet.

But no one came to the door"-go
Tom Thumb whispered in Puss Juniors

Don't whisper so loudly" said Puss.
Besides, you tickle my ear"
And just then a noise from the little
house made them look up.
"Mousey. as bashful as a miss,
Retired from Froggy's view,
But peeped at him from out her hole
AS Froggy nearer drew"
He looks very fine IN his opera hat"
said Puss Junior.
His red scarf is lovely. Wish I had
it," whispered Tom Thumb.
There he goes up to the Window"
cried PusT.

said Tom Thumb. ~
"Mr. Frog approached and DOTTED his
hat.
Then, bending on one knee,
Said, 'Fairest Mouse, pray listen to
My tale of love for thee!"
And then little Miss Mousey leaned
out of her window and bent quite close
to Mr. Frog, who was still kneeling,
holding his opera hat in one hand. Well,
pretty soon he looked up at her bright
eyes and pretty gray fur, and began
again:
an me, the wretchest OF Frogs
You see a love-sick swain.
Oh say you'll Mistress Froggy be,
And make me well again.

OH, GIRRULS, LOOK

I'll just bet a smile facial only that
the girruls will find time between their
Christmas shopping trips this week to
drop into he Alhambra to see the latest
Tom MeigLan picture.
Christmas or no Christmas, Toms
shadow is reflected on the movie screen.
And he wears a dress suit and has the
best sort Of time in a sort of a modern
Fairy Prince role.
In our excitement, we nearly forgot to
tell you girruls, that Meighans picture
is "a Prince There Was" the GLAD" plav
which Gregory Kelly presented at Eng
lish's this summer. Now don't you want
to see the movie version?
You recall the little slayey of Mrs.
Prouty's boarding house who longs for
fairy prince TO get her out of the place.
Meighan is the prince who turns the
trick. One must bear in mind that thig
Is modern fairy story and just couldn't
happen in real life. The boarding house
scenes are well handled.
