James Kirkwood, prominent leading man both on the stage and the screen, has the principal male role that of the atrait-laced New England district attorney who falls in love with "that. Royle girl."

Harrison Ford, the fourth fea- tured member of the cast, imper- sonates the important character of Fred Ketlar, the flashy and popu- lar Jazz composer and dance or chestra leader. The supporting players include Marie Chambers, Paul Everton, George. Rigas and Florence Auer.

*The Sporting Chance." Many race pictures have been flashed on screens at various times, but we take off our hat to the most exciting and thrilling race ever do- picted on the screen in the Tiffany production, "The Sporting Chance.

Before roaching the climax the story tells of a young, handsome, but Impecunious horse owner of the South, who comes North to enter his race horse In a rich stake race. He meets the girl, who is coveted by a rich sportsman, and to outwit him many novel and entertaining scenes: are enacted. One stone, where the horso Is -hidden from the hands of the law, is some- thing new and ingenious, and an- other of how the horse is smuggled into the race course is one of the best of the many situations in the drama.

Lou Tellegen, as the rich sports: man, plays his part with a sureness that makes it convincing, while, Dorothy Phillips, always a screen favourite, plays the heroine in o 'sympathetle manner.
