"EAST MEETS WEST."
Now at King'-s Theatre.
The astonishing versatility or the veteran English actor, George Arliss, is once more demonstrated in "East Meets West," his new film, which has been transferred to the King's Theatre. This great actor seems to go from strength to strength, and his latest performance is without a blemish. He interprets the role of a powerful Eastern Sultan with the same conviction as when he played the parts of the Iron Duke, Voltaire, and Disraeli, and he is supported by an excellent cast. The theme of the film is rich in ,melodrama, and the story is set against a colourful Eastern background. As the wily Sultan of an Eastern principality, George Arliss successfully extracts great sums of money out of Britain and an Eastern Power, playing against them the life of a renegade Englishman, a rum-runner, whose wife has had an affair with the Sultan's Oxford-educated son. There is action in plenty in this offering from Gau-mont-Bntish. '
