At the Ditmas aheatre last evening the presenta tion of h f widely heralded screen version of Mr. Arliss’ greatest stage characterization proved to be a rare combination of excellent acting by excellent players splendidly directed and with a story that holds the attention until the last moment. And Mr. Arliss' acting in the title role demands more praise than space permits. "Disraeli” is not an historical play The author, Louis N. Parker. mer“ ]y gave us a story to Illustrate the life and times of the great English statesman, and at the same time to show some of the prejudice against which Disraeli was obliged to fight j in order to reach the summit of his ambition—the Premiership. Mr. Parker has sketched a plot around ! the efforts of the Premier to buy the Suez Canal as a means whereby England might defend India. The love Interest is dual, for Disraeli's great affection for nls wife forms one phase of the romance In “Dis rtali," while Clarissa and Charles demonstrate their love In a series of scenes that compare favorably with the most charming we have seen on the screen. The program al30 includes Louis M. Granat “in whistling selections. Mr. Granat last night again scored a big hit at this favorite theatre. i Great Picture at Crescent Betty Compson. the pretty hero ine of "The Miracle Man.” and J one of tha screen's leading emo tional actresses is again in the limelight—this time as a Paramount star, ani in her initial production under that banner. "At .the End of the World." which was shown at the Crescent theatre last night, she achieved a veritr nla triumph, by her artistic portrayal. The new picture, which is from the play by Ernest Klein, adapted by Adelaide Heilbron and scenar ized by Edfrid A. Bingham, con cerns the love affairs and vicissi tudes of "Cherry" the daughter of an Englishman who runs a Chinese gambling house and cafe in Shang hai, China. It is a dramatic story, well presented and supplies many thrilling moments. The story carries the spectator ) from Shanghai to s. lonely lighthouse In the southern seas, where some of the most dramatic episodes ever seen upon the screen are portrayed Miss Compson is supported by sev eral talented players including Mil ton Pills, hero of "The Faith Heal er,” "The Great Moment,” and other noted productions.
