PRINCESS
“THE SUNSET DERBY” The somewhat one-sided battle between the automobile and the horse is depicted in a whimsically humorous manner in “The Sunset Derby,” the First National picture featuring William Collier, jun., and Mary Astor, currently showing at the Princess Theatre. The two old cronies, life-long friends, have a falling out when one heeds the call of progress and opens a service station next door to the ancient livery stable of his friend. Ralph Lewis and Lionel Relmore as the two friendly enemies lend a great deal of humanness to this novel story of the race track, and give occasional touches of pathos as well as comedy to the picture. “The Sunset Derby” was produced for First National by Charles R. Rogers. Albert Rogell directed the production from an adaptation of the short story by William Dudley Pelley.
