PICTURES FOR THIS WEEK.

The following are particulars of the pictures to be screened during this week at the several centres : “Sport of Kings.’

Whirling round-a-bouts, shrieking whistles, “hob-day” vendors, all the glajparoys atmosphere of England’s great race day, Derby Day, are shown with . great gusto in the screen adaptation of lan Hay’s racing comedy, “The Sport of Kings,” Derby Day of course, is known the world over as a day when all of merry England’s traditional restraint and conservative nature is crushed by the spirit of reckless abandon which pervades the air on the great day of all days at the course. For years England has flocked in her hundreds of thousands to witness the racing classic. It is indeed a strange sight, especially in a country where class distinction prevails to a very great extent, to see fashionable Londoner and humble yokel, arriving side by side ; the one in a shining automobile, the other in a noisy, creaking cart.? Interest is heightened both by Gordon Harker’s cockney humour and a romance. between Dorothy Boyd and Hugh Wakefield. The film is a British Dominions’ attraction directed by Victor Saville, and released by Greater Australasian Films Ltd.
