Round the Shows!

“BURNING DAYLIGHT”

‘‘Burnins Daylight,” literally burning with thrills, excitement and drama, will be shown again this evening at the Princess and Tivoli Theatres. Set in the snowy wastes of Alaska during the period of the gold discovery, when fortune hunters by the thousands trekked northward, “Burning Daylight” tells an epic story of the most romantic era in American history during the last fifty, years. Jack London himself was in Alaska in this period and' from his novel descriptive of those times First National has produced a picture with all the color, the drama, and the wild excitement as a background for the more intimate story of “Daylight,” the most reckless, the most c o u rageous, the most daring prospector in all the Northland. As “Daylight” Milton Sills so lives the characterisation that the story might actually have been written around the film star himself. The supporting cast contains a dozen or more popular film players, with Doris Kenyon lending her charming personality to the feminine lead. Arthur Stone contributes an excc'TSjit comedy role, with Jane Winton, Stuart Ilolmes, “Big Boy” Williams, Lawford Davidson, Frank ilagney and others. A second attraction is provided in “Won in the Clouds,” an exciting story of the rescue of African explorers by airplane, starring A 1 Wilson.
