PARAMOUNT THEATRE
MILTON SILLS IN “THE KNOCKOUT.” “The Knockout,” Milton Sills’s latest picture, is now the star feature at the Paramount Theatre. No better role could have been found for the famous portrayer of screen virility than his part in “The Knock-out”—-that of a “Gentleman Jim” type of prize-fighter who goes into the Canadian woods % to recuperate from injuries received in the ring, and becomes the victim of the intrigue and machinations of a wealthy New Yorker who seeks to ruin the father of the giri with whom he falls in love.
'Hie rugged scenei'y of the north woods country forms a majestic setting for moat. of the action of the picture. Add to this action romance and comedy which kept the audience breathless one minuteyind in roars of laughter the next, and one has in a nutshell the recipe which was used to make this most welcome picture. Lorna Daveen is the leading lady. She is moGt admirably cast, as are the supporting players who include Jed ProUty, on whose shoulders falls the lot of comedy interpolation; John Philip Kolb, the giant “heavy” ; Claude King, Harlan Knight, and Harry Cording. An admirable supporting bill and exceptionally fine musical programme complete a good entertainment.
