PARAMOUNT THEATRE
MILTON SILLS IN “THE KNOCK-, OUT.” Milton Sills’s latest screen battle is staged with a giant lumberjack in the rushing waters of a Canadian river. A jam of logs has been blown up and tho death-dealing timbers are sweeping down upon the. struggling men. The scene is one of the thrillers in “The Knockout,” which First National will present at the Paramount Theatre to-day. Milton Sills stages two great battles in “Tlie Knockout.” In one he fights a giant lumberjack, six feet seven inches in height and weighing two hundred and fifty pounds. The fight, staged in the wilds of Canada, is said to be one of the fiercest Sills has ever put up. The second fight shows Sills as a professional pugilist in a New York match. Mr Sills is admirably supported by Lorna Duveen and J. P. Kolb. It is one of the best of outdoor films. Tho supporting items include a Gaumont Graphic, a Canadian scenic, and a “Felix tho C,at” cartoon. The orchestra has arranged a particularly pleasing musical" programme for tho night sessions.
