TOWN HALL PICTURES.
“SPORTING LIFE,” TO-NIGHT
Love, passion, wicked intrigue, ,and thrilling scenes in the lives of highly interesting people —this meagrely summarises t he absorbing contents of the Paramount masterpiece, “Sporting Life.” The photodrama was produced by Maurice Tourneur —an expert in the excelh nces of screen artistry. Towering far above the ordinary motion-play in the vigour of its action and the intensity of its love story, “Sporting Life” carries a tremendous appeal. not only to sport-lovers, but to all men and women who possess developed human emotions. The young English pari who enters the boxing ring himself, rather than allow an enemy who has drugged his lighter to succeed in dastardly schemes, is rewarded with a throb of compassion from every spectator. The 'The Derby that bears on its rushing tide the fortunes of a manly and lovable, if persecuted, hero, has more in it than a magnificent picture of Britain’s famous race. Threfiding its way through the mazes woven by vile plotters, the_ tender sentiment is ever there to .brighten the screen with hope.
