NATIONAL AND LYRIC
“IN OLD KENTUCKY” *Tn Old Kentucky,” now being: shown at the National and Lyric Theatres, James Murray plays the role of the scion of an aristocratic old Kentucky family which is rapidly becoming impoverished, but sticks like glue to the traditions of family and the south. The World War throws the youngster into the melting pot, and he comes home a careless, modern youth, with no respect for ancestry, little regard for womanhood, and no belief in family tradition. In this role Murray gives to the screen a delightful and entirely new personality and characterisation, and proves himself a real actor. The original screen play was written by A. F. Younger, but lie incorporated scenes suggested by the famous old racing Play by Charles Dazey. The leading roles are played by James Murray, Helene Costello, Wesley Barry, Dorothy Cummings, Edward Martindale, and others.
