HISTORICAL PICTURE AT NEW OPERA HOUSE.
The fact that "Disraeli” is now in its sixth week at the New Opera House is proof that the picture is one of the most popular ever shown in Christchurch. “Disraeli” represents the highest in the talkie art. The film is outstanding for perfect dialogue and superb acting, and the success that the production is achieving is well deserved. The title role of Disraeli, the great Jewish Prime Minister of England, is taken by George Arliss. Assisting him in this wonderful production are such splendid players as Joan Bennett, Florence Arliss, Ivan Simpson, David Torrence, Doris Lloyd and Anthony Bushell. To some extent the vaudeville atmosphere has been retained in the New Opera House by the provisisn of a few short items at the beginning of the entertainment. These all come through in a wonderfully clear manner, and speak volumes for the efficiency of the reproducing equipment installed.
