SEASON EXTENDED.
, , T J Millionaire,*.* George Arliss’s latest film, which, is now in its second week at the Plaza Theatre, is one of those rare pictures which leaves a feeling of complete satisfaction with the person seeing- it. In actual life the series of events which go to make the story would hardly bo possible, but it is this strong streak of romance running through the whole that renders it ail outstanding production. The story ls thin, but what the picture lacks m this respect is fully compensated for by the marvellous performance of the inimitable George Arliss. ?h ft A^? h rs , s. bl rtWi« a, S2a5 as a backe-••"•'nd for the great actor
Arliss. There is a strong love interest running through the production, carried with great ability by David Manners a fid Evelyn Knapp. Noah Beery is one of the minor characters who makes a great showing in a part which suits him admirably. The dialogue is strong, and was written by Booth Tarkington. It is modern, the first modern film Arliss- has made, and in Arliss’s hands the most is made of the clever lines.
