George Arliss
* 'Disraeli"
"THE motion picture version of "Disraeli," starring Mr. George Arliss, has been accorded a measure of praise seldom given to a screen production.
T^HE reviewers and critics of the trade and lay press have echoed the unified praise lavished by the public upon this production, emphasizing the dignity, charm and artistry of the work
|^)1SRAELI" has commanded the respect, not only of those who consistently follow motion pictures, but also of vast numbers of persons who never before trusted themselves to seek profitable amusement in motion picture theatres.
TN view of this it is a privilege to express my gratitude to Mr. Henry M. Hobart, President of Distinctive Productions, Inc., for his master work as the producer of "Disraeli"; to Mr. Arliss, who steps gracefully into a position among the screen's greatest personalities; to Mr. Henry Kolker, the Director, for his individual achievement: to Mr. Harmon Weight, Mr Kolker's skilled assistant, and to Mr. Forrest Halsey, who translated Mr. Louis N. Parker's play for the screen.
"J^)ISRAELI" was undertaken in a spirit of the utmost sincerity, executed in a spirit of dignity and presented to the public without clamor.
APPRECIATIVE of the duty owed to lovers of that which is best in the art of motion pictures, and to the large following won by Mr. Arliss, we shall continue to make distinctive pictures, and shall offer the public nothing less than distinctive productions.
