AT POLI'S

The Paramount Pictures" program released this Monday shows the fifth Paramount Pictures which can be seen only at Po1iss. This is the latest sttire production. to ernanate from the studios of the BOSwOrth Film Goa marvellous five reel adoption or Jack London's gripping story of the great Burning Daylight"
 Hobart BosWorth, himself achieves portrayal in the photaplay which with the other Parani ounts are becoming immensely popular.
 It is one of MT. London's finest Sto- ries tingiing with the electric thrill and sparkle of high adventure and bringing to life on the screen the in initable creations of MT. London.g lln- 31 agination, living amid scenes of H. Iusive beauty and unusual variety.
 When it is said that this is typi- cal Bosworth production' and that powers to the imperSonation of the h- tie role. 1t is sufficient guarantee that Burning Daylight" is from beginning to end, feature film of the very high est duality, with an absorbing story full of action and thrills that every role is played by actors of skill, that the settings were chosen with utmost care, not only for beauty, but accu- raey, and that the photoplay Is flaw less.
 The scenes are laid in the early days of the Klondtke, in nid-winter, just before and during the strike. The pictures of those rough days in the little mining camp and on unbrOken trails, the hardships, the hysterical ex- citeInent of a. lucky strike, the bitter ness of the long Arctic winters, are all transferred to the screen with start ling realism.
 Supporting Hobart Bosworth in the portrayal of this gripping dramatic photoplay are a number of the most brilliant pantomime dramatic artists and that much abused phrase "An All Star Cast most truly describes the company presented by Bosworth, Inc, in this, their second Paramount re- lease.
 ssNeH'' the beautiful, wistfuI dance hall girl, who loves sBurhing Day light" but whom he cannot love, is played by Rhea Haines, happily re- rnemb cred for her work as sfUnga'' in fsAn Odyssey of the North and Mary in Ts'I1e Valley of the Moon. Her beauty and quiet charm add greatly to the strong appeal of this pathetic character, so skiHfully out lined by the author.
 Three friends of Burning Day light the strong, rugged men MT. London so delights in, are splendidly played by J. Charles Haydon, who was 'tCookte'' in sSThe Sea Wolf" Jack Conway, -who played Billy in t.The Valley of the Moon," and Elmer Cliff ton, whose Jack London in John Barleycorns' created so much interest.
