RACING
BACKGROUND
"Dark Hazard," the First Nation al picture with Edward G. Robin son in the stellar role which comes to the Majestic theatre to-day. for the first time shows dog racing on the screen as the background for a most unusually dramatic picture.
The theme of the story deals with man's mad passion for gambling which costs him love and home. Robinson, as the in- veterate but well meaning gambler will bet on any kind of a game, but his chief weakness is for grey- hound racing.
The exciting racing scenes shown in the picture, were taken at the popular Compton race tracks near Los Angeles, at which Greyhounds chase a mechanical rabbit about a fivo-eighths mile course to the cheering of wlidly enthusiastic crowds. Legalized betting a car ried on by the pari mutuel system.
