should settle for once and all the
discussion as 10 whether the stage
or the screen Is the more artistic
medium OF dramatic expression.
George Arliss is making the
screen version. "Disraeli'' was his
greatest stage success. The two
names Arliss and Disraeli are In
separately linked in the public mind.
The play Is a one-man affair. Its
chief interest lies In the characteri-
zation Of Disraeli.
Other artists have given screen
versions Of their stage successes,
but these have not served as fair
basis OF comparison because they
were not SO dependent on one ele.
meut.
Exception might be taken to this
statement by those who recall Otis
Skinner in "Kismet,"
1t is the opinion of the writer that
SINNERS dilineation Of character In
the picture was as thoroughly and
artistically done as It was on the
stage But-the picture ran almost
10000 feet.
There was not enough action or
enough va,'ety in phases OF the prin
cipal character to sustain interest
through so long q film.
As a consequence the picture was
below the standard OF play, This
might not have been so had the
film been held to five reels.
So it's up to Arliss in "Dlsraeli" to
show US whether the screen takes
rank with the stage or supercedes
1t.
There is plent of meat in dis
raell" for picture Of extended
length.
Benjamin Disraeli. made prime
minister Of England by Queen Vic
toria, decides that England must
have the Suez canal to defend India
The Russians covet the canal.
This LEADS to many complications
Disraeli plays q lone hand In the
transaction. The Russian ambassa-
dor has Lady TraVers and her en-
tourage to aid him.
The governor of the Bank of Eng
land refuses 10 negotiate the loan
for the purchase OF the canal. An
other banker negotfates the loan In
South America. The ship bringing
the gold is sunk by the friends OF
Lady Travers.
DiSaeli then forces the Bank Of
England TO advance the loan by
threatening to close 1t. This he had
no power to do.
The queen holds reception to
celebrate the addition OF Empress
Of India" to her list of regal titles,

is dominated by the devotion OF
