Dear Madam :
On October 18, 1897, there was produced in . . London a melodrama which since that date has become celebrated as one of the strongest plays of sporting life in the annals of the stage. This melodrama was "Sporting Life" , a picturizat ion of which by Maurice Tourneur, the famous motion picture director, will be shown at our theatre next
This photoplay, which is a Paramount-Artcraft special picture, has been produced on a lavish scale and it is the first produced by Mr. Tourneur as an independent producer. It was acquired by the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation immediately after its successful presentation in New York in September, 1918.
The story of the picture deals with the fortunes of an impoverished British nobleman who is a thorough sportsman and who wins love and wealth against almost insuperable odds. The scenes of the photoplay include views of the National Sporting Club of London, Epsom Downs on Derby day and many others, all of which add to the suspensive interest of a most captivating story.
The various roles are interpreted by well known screen players. It is safe to say that this picture will mark an epoch in the history of our theatre. Trusting you will be present at the premier presentation, we beg to remain.
Yours sincerely.
Manager.
