George Arliss to Star at
Elsinore Again -'
In "The Millionaire-"; Bonald
Colmaa Hera . Thursday,
"The Devil to Pay! -
Evelyn Knapp who plays the
Juvenile - feminine . lead with
George' Arliss in "The Million
aire" opening today at Warner
Bros Elsinore theatre, has joined
the long list cf youthful players
on stage and screen who sing the
praises of Mr. Arliss as the teach
er and friend who has helped
them most along the road to
eventual success.
It is apparently impossible to
play in a play or a picture with
the star without imbibing some
of his vast knowledge and exper
ience. Devoid of temperament, as
commonly- accredited to actors,
and insistent only cpon the best
from every member of a cast.
Arliss is admirably equipped to
point oat the weaknesses and to
encourage the strong points evi
dent in the work of any young,
ambitious player.
.The young and lovely Evelyn
Knapp is only the latest of a long
roster of people who have ac
knowledged their indebtedness to
Arllsa. One of the first was
Jeanne Engels, whom Arliss de
scribes as ''the amazingly clever
Jeanne Engels." who played with
him in,. "Disraeli" and "Hamil
ton" on the stage and who later
gave generous credit to Arliss
for the training received while
working with him.
Joan Bennett worked with Ar
liss early in her motion picture
career in "Disraeli," , an experi
ence and a . picture which gave
much Impetus , to her quick suc
cess. Arliss is an exacting bat a
patient tutor, certain of his sub
ject yet willing to allow a player
his own interpretation of a role
after he is sure 1. is understood.
Betty Lawford, after the film
ing of "Old English" under the
gentle guidance of Arliss, declar
ed the role had given her . the
most valuable experience of her
er. Anthonr Basheil echoed
these sentiments after completing

after he was convinced that Miss
Knapp had the requisite ability
to learn as wall as to act. that
lie approved of her selection for
his cast. .
Her final Interview with Arliss
before she . was definitely, signed
for the role, : will inger in her
memory for a long time. It will
doubtless mark ' an Important
milestone in - her career aa a
screen actress. '
, "I think we will get along
very nicely,' Arliss told her- in
effect. "There is a little bit of
the old Missourlan (Miss Knapp
was born fn Kansas City and
grew up there) in your diction
which I think can be worked out.
The rest of it will be altogether
up to yon." .
: But when rehearsals began for
"The Millionaire." Miss Knapp
realized for the first time bow
invaluable the experience was to
bo for her. Every line and every
situation was worked ont in de-4
tall between Mr. Arils and her
self. Never once was she told to
"read it this way," but rather
Arliss. worked patiently to make
her see the meaning of the line
as he understood it, what it was
meant to convey to the audience
and what it needed to further the
plot of the story.
No school of drama could of
fer so authoritative a course in
three years as Miss Knapp and
every other member of the Arliss
cast for that matter, were pat
through In thre weeks of rehear
sals. Yet so cleverly does Arliss
train his co-workers, many of
whom are themselves Veteran act
ors, that no single one ever feels
that Arliss is patronizing, or dif
ficult to please . or unreasonable
in his insistence upon perfection
in the reading of lines.
The cast includes many notable
names in screen and stage hiJ
tory: . Mrs. Florence Arliss, wife
of the star. David Manners. Noai
Beery, Tally Marshall, Iran Simp
son, James Cagney, uramweu
Fletcher, Charles Orapewln, 8am
Hardy,, and J. C. Nugent. Many
of these are old hands in the
business, who7 follow . Arliss be
cause they recognize in him the
splendid artist, and the confident
actor who is entitled to have hLi
way.

cast know, as Misa Knapo knows.
