The 1921 Lost Disraeli

This fourth volume in the Arliss Archives series reconstructs the once-acclaimed but now lost silent screen version of DISRAELI. Arliss biographer Robert M. Fells has spent over two decades collecting materials to document this first film version of George Arliss's most successful play. Additional material includes the complete souvenir theater program of 1912, a set of eight original lobby cards from the 1929 sound version of DISRAELI in restored color, and a discussion of Mr. A's 1938 live radio broadcast of the play with links to the Arliss Archives website to enable readers to hear this radio program exactly as it was broadcast live over CBS on January 17, 1938. There is also a "bonus" appendix of George Arliss in 3-D photographs from a variety of his films.
