ARLISS IN *DISRAELI,'
A TALKING GEM

To our minds the most brilliant achievement of the
Film Era-the which has since Hollywood started
running on sound tracks, the projection Of George
Arliss in "Disraeh bravura performance which every

has been transferred with faithful exactude from

the stage TO the screen.
We call 1t the most brilliant
achievement of the current
films, not because it involves
any creative Or trail-blazing
work in the technic Of the talkie.
but because it possesses distinc-
ton and a certain aristocratic
quality--the kind Of atmosphere
and style which, even in the face
of a derisive younger gener-
alton, we insist on saying was
dominant in that seemingly far
off but tenderly remembered
age of Great Plays and Great
Players.
For the Old Guard of theater-
goers who saw the original
''Disraeli" Of is years ago, the
Metropolitan this week has q
rare treat. The talkie version
is so faithful to the original, so
Supremely well done from a
technical point of view, that it
cannot possibly diSappoint
them; possibly it will reveal to
them new facets. new subtle.
ties in the art Of Arliss. new
delight in a rather musty, Vic

out ArliSs, probably would die
on its feet.
There have been many at
tempts to portray historical
characters on both the stage
and the screen. Most Of them
have shown mere lay figures.
without force or real individual
ity. So far as we know, none
has been anywhere near as sue
cessful as the "Disraeli" of
George ArlisS, and, despite the
absence Of high-pointed emo
tional values In the play, we find
the performance gripping and
glamorous, something to treas
ure in the memory of a rare eve
ming in a motion picture theater.
We concede that the ''flaI
trade" as Variety calls it, may
not be interested in the pur-
chase of the Suez Canal or
even in the finely wrought act.
ing of one of the outstanding
players of the age. Neverthe-
less, we believe that there is
a great public awaiting just
such an, invitation to support
the new art of talking pictures
as "Disraeli" gives it. In fact,
there is ample evidence already
at hand that the talking pic
ture has brought an entirely
new kind of public support to
the films; and it seems clear
that "Disraeli" will blaze the
way for other genuine artistic
achievements in the new man
ner.
JUAn Bennett, youngest daugh-
ter of the redoubtable Richard
Bennett plays the part OF
Clarissa. the ingenue Of the
play. and does it excellently;
Mrs. ArliSS plays opposite her
husband in the role Of Lady
Beaconsfield, and is decidedly
effective in the part. David
\Torrence plays the governor OF
the Bank of England, DiSraeli's
enemy. and Ivan Simpson Is
seen as the financier,. Hugh
Myers, who aided the Jewish
prime minister in his seemingly
fantastic project Of acquiring
the Suez Canal as the gateway
to India.
Lest you be in any doubt as
to what we are driving at, we
repeat, see "Disraeli" even at
the sacrifice of the most ir1l-
portant engagement on your
list this week. A. M. j.

Through the wide arch of
