AMUSEMENTS

KING’S THEATRE.

■ “BURNING DAYLIGHT.” “He-man,” or elemental drama, is .what screen fans most 1 favour, declares Milton Sills, who has become one of the screen’s foremost stars within the paslt two years because he has devoted himself exclusively to this type of motion picture.

Appearing in virile charicterisations with out-of-doors backgrounds, Sills has developed a tremendous following. And Sills modestly disclaims credit for this, declaring the typo of picture in which ho has been starred is largely responsible.

His role in “Burning Daylight,” the First National picture to be at the King’s Theatre, to-night only is an excellent example of the sort of story Sills believes the most easily adaptable to pictures. With its Idcale in Alaska during >;he hectic days of , the gold rush, the action of the story is essentially ■pictorial and the camera has caught many pcsnes of the frozen plains and the struggle of humans with the primitive elements more innately dramatic than any clash of gentler souls .in cities. Inasmuch as the screen at its best Is pure action and pantomime, Sills believes more pictures of this type should be made.
