LOUISVILLE, Ky, April 23.-
 Fifty-four years ago this May 2 little red horse known as Aristides sped valiantly around a race track in this city while some. 10000 per sons roared their hopes and de- light through the sunny air.
 From that date, May IT, 1875 starts the glowing tale of the Ken lucky derby, a tale to be written in the ledger of sport for the fifty fifth time at Churchill Downs, here May 18 And what a tale it isl Pages of heart throbs and heart breaks, of joys and sorrows, oi dazzling speed and sport unequal led.
 In the first derby, and in many that have followed, the favorite has not always won. It seems that Aristides was not even sup posed to win.
 As is fitting in the first running of an historic event, there is a tale of pluck and courage handed down from that first derby of 1875. It appears Aristides was to be but a pawn to the ambitions of his stable mate, Chesapeake. Aristides was to set such a dizzy pace that all opponents would be worn down, whereupon Chesapeake was to come dashing to the front and win the race.
 Like the gallant racer that he was, Aristides obsyed instructions and whirled off the mile at a high gait. It was now that Chesapeake was to come up and take the lead but no Chesapeake appeared
 A story has it that Price Me- Grath, owner of both colts, was standing at the stretch. Grasping the situation, he waved to Jockey Lewis to urge Aristides on. The time for that memorable mile and a half was 2:37a4, a great race for such track, and a great victory for Aristides.
 In the second running Vagrant, an outsider, dashed in ahead with the famed and favored Parole out of the money. It was Baden Ba- den, a field horse, which pressed through in the third running to win, and thus it has been often through the years. The derby has been derby of upsets.
 For 26 years the derby distance was mile and a half When shorter distances gained favor, the course was shortened to a mile and a quarter in 1896 Spokane, another outsider, established the fastest time for the mile and half derby course, 2:341A, in 1889, setting a track record that stood

Attractions At Theatres
THROUGH BREAKERS"
 AT PALACE TONIGHT

A good illustration of the extent to which Hollywood goes in the capturing of actual realism, is evil denced in a film which comes to the Palace Theatre tonight, entitled Through the Breakers" Gotham production.
 The story has it's origin in the successful stage play by owen Davis. Most of the action takes place on semi-tropical island of the Pacific, and in order to estab- fish an unquestioned setting of authenticity the Gotham Production unit made veritable expedition to Samoa which entailed a 22-day trip across the lazy waters of the Pacific.
 Thus shots of native villages and native Samoans give substantial interest to the story. It is the exotic tale of primitive passions and love conflict far removed from the OutpoStS of civilization, when both cultured white people and unletter- ed natives intimately envolved in the working out of a daring TO- nance
 The explosion of a yacht, peopled by gay, jazzy passenger groups, is one of the best action scenes which dramatically enhances the interest of the story.
 Margaret Livingston and Holmes Herbert portray the feature roles. Natalie Joyce, former follies girl, is said to contribute an extraordi- nary character portrayal, the part of beautiful native girl in love with the white overseer of the is- land. Clyde Cook whose comic nuances have elevated the enter taining quality of countless films, is also in the cast.
