Just In: A 1908 Interview with George Arliss on THE DEVIL, his first starring role!

I recently came across this delightful interview with Mr. A published in the October 1908 issue of THEATRE MAGAZINE. I believe this may be the first interview he ever gave to any publication. I say this because up until that time he was a supporting actor and such players rarely had opportunities to be interviewed. He was all of 40 years old at this point and we can truly say that the interview captures him as an energetic young man embarking on what he could only hope was a new phase of his career.
