All "Sporting Life", Maurice Tourn-eur's spjendid picturization of the famous Drury Lane melodrama which scored so heavily two decades or more ago, is one of the greatest motion picture spectacles produced in this country in many years. "Sporting Life" will be shown at the Colborne Opera House on Thursday, May 26th, 1921, under the auspices of the Colborne Base Ball Club. The senario by Winthrop Kelley departs from the original play mainly in the elaboration of detail. The general outline is not disturbed, the plot concerning itself with Lord Woodstock's winning 6f the Derby with his mare Lady Love, and his stepping into the ring to take the place of an "unknown" pugilist whom he had backed heavily and who had been drugged through the agency of Olive de Carteret, the vamp, at the instigation of her husband, who is Lord Woodstocks deadly enemy. The story has to do with the attempt of de Carteret to ruin Lord Wood- The romatic element is provided by the Earl who is in love with the daughter of his chief trainer. Her ' ;r loves Joe Lee, a prize fighter, .... wisely but too well, and when she attempts suicide, her father on learning the truth, becomes the willing tool of Mrs. de CaTteret in doping Lee just as he is to step into the ring. Lord Woodstock takes his place and not only wins the fight but thousands of pounds as well. The production is a notable one from every angle, while the support it exceptionally good. The principals in the cast are Ralph Graves. Warner Richmond, Charles Craig, Constance and Fair Binney and Wil-lette Kershaw. CARD OF THANKS MRS. Wm. H.
