"Thoroughbreds Dbn*t Cry."
Three children, a motherly landlady, and one of the great horse races of the American season mingle thrills and drama with heart interest, love, and loyalty in "Thoroughbreds Don't Cry," drama of youth and the Turf, which commences tomorrow at the St. James Theatre. Ronald , Sinclair, New Zear Hand boy actor, makes his bow in his .first important role, teamed with Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, arid Sophie Tucker. He plays an English boy who owns a horse. Rooney plays the jockey who tricks him, and through remorse and friendship finds regeneration. Miss Garland sings a new song, "Gotta Pair of New Shoes," that turns out a distinctive hit. Miss Tucker has the sympathetic role as the landlady, and extracts every ounce of drama from it. Based on a story by Eleanore Griffin and J. Walter Ruben, "Thoroughbreds Don't Cry" provides many racing thrills aside from the heart interest. Hundreds of people appear in the racej sequences filmed at Santa Anita race! track. The principal players ■ include C. Aubrey Smith,. Forrester Harvey, Charles D. Brown, Frankie Darro; Henry Kolker, and Helen Troy.
