GEORGE ARLISS PICTURE. “THE HOUSE OF ROTHSCHILD.” The enthusiasm roused by George Arliss’ magnificent characterisation in “The House of Rothschild,” which is showing at the Hawera Opera House, has been reflected in the size of the audiences, which have packed the theatre at each session. The picture is already breaking records at Hawera. Arliss is cast first as Amschel Rothschild, the father of the five brothers whom he counselled to follow the path of honour and who, profiting by his advice to establish themselves in five great cities in Europe, yet to remain as one, became the greatest factor in financial operations during the Napoleonic wars. Nathan Rothschild is the son, whom Arliss also plays in the greatest role of his career—a fighting role, for wealth because it is power, for honour because it is the honour of his family and above all cf his race, which by risking all his riches to save England because he had given his word he wins in a smashing climax on a tottering stock exchange.
