“BRED IN OLD KENTUCKY”

Bubbling with the vivacity ot Viola Dana at her inimitable best, “Bred in Old Kentucky,” a splendidly entertaining film of the “sport of kings," is now

showing at Everybody’s Theatre. Striking a new note, and a refreshing one, in racing pictures, the production is delightfully suited to Miss Dana, and gives the dainty little favourite unlimited opportunities for her

dramatic and humorous abilities. Director Eddie Dillon has invested the entire film with an air of genuineness, and has built up the story values to a climax that is filled with suspense and surprise. With Jerry Miley in the leading male role, and an excellent supporting cast that embraces such well-known players as Jed Prouty, James Mason, Roy Laidlaw, and Josephine Crowell, "Bred in Old Kentucky” is a vivid and thoroughly worth-while presentation, and will do much toward increasing Miss Dana’s already enormous p my of admirers. Louis Weadock j V C. D. Lancaster wrote the origiruu tory, which was scenarised by Gerald Duffy.
