When the Vitaphone version of the “Green Goddess’ was completed recently at the Warner studio George Arliss accomplished his 1200th performance of the play. This melodrama of the Far East is one of Mr. Arliss’ best-known stage vehicles. The illustrious actor appeared in it in the United States and England for several successive seasons, during which time it drew critical approbation and broke box office records. The marvellous acting, perfect dialogue, mammoth settings, the like of which have never been seen or heard before in any talking picture, and George Arliss as the scheming Indian ruler will astound you with his consummate characterisation.
