Some quaint touches are seeja in the English Racing drama "The Sport of Kings," to be screened at the Britannia Theatre to-night. The heroine, distracted by her lover's headlong race to ruin, attends a creche as a voluntary worker, and there a kindly stepfather hands her a parcel of fish and chips for an infant's breakfast. Special mention should be made of the line racing scenes of the smart : English courses, the luxurious interiors of English clubs and the lovely views if the great English racing rtables. The love story is very enthralling and the whole drama belongs to the de luxe class. 545J

Before his work as legitimate actor, Sheridan had a wonderfully varied and picturesque youthful experience as super at the Boston Theatre, commercial salesman, South American soldier of fortune, and strolling actor and manager in the mountain camps of the Kocki(»s.
