“BURNING DAYLIGHT” Jack London’s most powerful story, “Burning Daylight,” will bo shown this evening at the Rialto and Regent Epsom, theatres. Milton Sills, in the starring role, has a particularly powerful characterisation as “Daylight,” the boldest and most courageous prospector in all Alaska. Doris Kenyon plays the feminine lead, and a large cast is in support. With its locale in Alaska during the hectic days of the gold rush, the action of the story is essentially pictorial, and the camera has caught many scene* oi the frozen plains and the struggle o* humans with the primitive elements more innately dramatic than any clash of gentler souls in cities. “Hula,” a story of a wild island giri who was loved by a young English engineer, will also be shown, starring Clara Bow'.
