236 THE TALKING PICTURE Someone once remarked that the present younger generation is going to grow up with the firm conviction that all the great men of history looked like George Arliss. In 1931 the distinguished actor continued his gallery of historical portraits with Alexander Hamilton, with Doris Kenvon as his leading lady. Depressing as most persons find it, Tolstoy's novel Resurrection has been adapted several times for the screen. Dolores Del Rio made it as a silent in 1927, with Rod La Rocque playing the male lead; and Lupe Velez (of all people) remade it in 1931, with John Boles. Here is Miss Velez in a production shot from the 1931 version.
