REGENT, EPSOM
“THE SUNSET DERBY” 5
The real story of the racing world at last is promised patrons of the Regent Theatre, when “The Sunset
Derby” opens its engagement: there to-night. The picture, which is based on a story by William Dudley Pelley, tells an interesting and straightforward story of the sport of kings without the customary banalities and hackneyed turns of plot. The suspense and drama are gotten not from the childish devices usually employed, but from
the lives and persoralities o: the jockeys, track “hangers on,” and trainers who make up the personnel of the sport:. Mary .Vstor and 'William Collier, junr., play the featured roles.
A new British director has arrived in Victor Saville, who is to make "The Arcadians” for Gaumont. Like Graham Cutts, he was a film theatre owner—in fact, still is; and has been associated with most of Maurice Elvey's recent work.
