"The Kentucky Derby" unrolls a thrilling and romantic breadth of action on the screen of the Princess Theatre on Thursday. Tho action is of the romantic .adventurous type. If Sir 'A altet Scot t were alive to-day. one could suspect him of having written it. As

aii actual tact. Charles T. Dnzoy wrote tin: stage play, from which it was adapted, and George Hull mafic the screen adaptation. •‘Human Hearts’ marked King Baggoo its one of the screen’s greatest artists in the directum o I s u per-i eat tires, and "the Kentucky Derby’’ follows “Human Hearts’’ in Baggofs career as tin eli'url, consistent with the previous achievement and ;• 1 t cl a marked difference in character.
