PRINCESS AND TIVOLI
“BURNING DAYLIGHT” “Burning Daylight.” a story of the gold rush days in Alaska, will be shown again this evening a,t the Bnncess and Tivoli Theatres, with Milton Sills in the title role. The picture opens when the patrons of the Tivoli bar, in a southern Alaska boom town are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Elam Harnish, or “Burning Daylight,” as he is called. Daylight has wagered that he can get to Nome and back, a distance of 2,000 miles, in 60 days, and the story opens | on the night of the sixtieth day. Bet- j ting is heavy on the race as the time gets Shorter and shorter, and a tre- j mendous roar goes up as Daylight with his dog team comes racing down the street, a winner. A terrific celebration starts upon the arrival of Daylight, the strongest, most carefree and most popular man in Alaska. The centre of the celebration is Daylight and Virginia, a dancehall girl whose full name almost no one knows. Doris Kenyon plays the feminine lead opposite Sills, with Arthur Stone, Big Boy Williams, Jane Winton, Stuart Holmes and many others in support. The second attraction on tire programme stars A 1 Wilson, America's famous "stunt" airman, in a thrilling picture entitled “Won in the Clouds.” The story is laid in Africa when an explorer has been captured by natives and, is only rescued by clever flying by A 1 Wilson.
