PRINCESS AND TIVOLI
“THE VALLEY OF THE GIANTS” “The Valley of the Giants,” now at the Princess and Tivoli Theatres, is a story set among the redwoods of California, with the colourful lumber industry as a background. In this environment Milton Sills is perfectly at home, and his interpretation of Kyne’s hero leaves nothing to be desired. Playing opposite Sills in this picture is Doris Kenyon, who returns to the screen after a year’s absence. Miss Kenyon is ideally cast as the sweetheart of young Cardigan, and does her usual faultless performance. Paul Hurst is seen in the role of Randeau, the half-breed lumber boss. Arthur Stone plays Buck, Cardigan’s friend, w r ith his usual comedy touches. Yola d’Avril plays the maid, Charles Sellon is Pennington, the rival magnate, George Fawcett plays the father and Phil Brady is Big Boy. With this excellent cast, all the roles in “The Valley of the Giants” are well handled, and Sills is given excellent support. The picture was directed by Charles Brabin and produced by Wid Gunning for First National release. It provides keen entertainment, thrills, suspense and has a beautiful romance. “The Valley of the Giants” is superb entertainment, and adds another great role to the list of Milton Sills’s successes on the screen.
