BRITANNIA
“PUPPETS” Thrilling battle scenes, Milton Sills and Francis McDonald battling wildly with each other in a burning theatre with the flaming scenery falling all about them, Gertrude Olmsted standing by watching two men fight for her while the flames threaten their lives—these are but a few of the thrills that will be seen in First Nationals latest photoplay, “Puppets,” which comes to the Britannia Theatre to-night. Sills has the stellar role, with Miss Olmsted as his leading lady. “Puppets” is laid in the heart of New York’s lowest East Side and on the battlefields of the World War, and no pains or expense have been spared to give the motion picture public a piece of realism they will long remember. It was produced by A 1 Rockett, who, with his brother, Ray, produced the great picture, “Abraham Lincoln.” It was directed by George Archainbaud, who learned his war realism in France as a fighting officer. Heading the great cast is Milton Slls. Supporting him are Miss Olmsted, Francis McDonald, Mathilde Comont, William Ricciardi, Lucien Prival, Nick Thompson and others.
