TIME--1875

"This is not an historical play, but only an attempt to show a picture of the days-- not so very long ago-- in which Disraeli lived, and some of the racial, social and political prejudices he faught against and conquered"

Louis N. Parker


Those who are familiar with "Disraeli" will not that Act IV has been omitted. It was felt that this act, while supplying pageantry, added nothing dramatically to the play since the climax is reached at the end of Act III
