GEORGE ARLISS WINS
CAPITOL AUDIENCES
IN LATEST FEATURE
The Last Gentleman,” George
Arliss’ latest feature opened at the
Capitol Theatre yesterday and prov
ed one of the most delightful and
unusual comedies the talkies have
produced.
A far cry from "The House of
Rothschild," the star’s first pro
duction under the Joseph M.
Schenck-Darryl F» Zanuck banner,
this whimsical comedy, is by vir
tue of its very contrast, a fitting
successor to the powerful dramatic
vehicle.
As Cabot Barr, a wealthy, Irasci
ble family-proud New Englander,
who rails together his relatives in
the vague hope of finding a worthy
heir, Arliss offers anotlicr of his
rich and perfect portraits. Among
those in the splendid supporting
casl are Edna May Oliver. Prank
Albertson, Janet Beecher, Char
lotte Henry and Donald Meek.
