MILton Sills Coming
Since the days before his debut Into
motion pictures, while appearing in
leading roles under the management
of Charles Frohman and David Belas
co, Milton Sills has been one of the
conspicuous figures of the theater. It
is as a screen player that he is best
known, however, for since turning his
energies to the silent drama he has
created many of the most forceful
characterizations that have come to
the screen.
In "The Forgotten Law," at the
Rialto theuter tomorrow, Milton Sills
will be seen in one of the most force
ful characters he has yet contributed
to the screen.
Clos.a Tonight, Rialto .
"Lorna Doono" is on the final day
of its showing at the Rialto. ' ,
Tourneur has followed the well
known story very closely, creating a
masterpiece of photoplay art, and
Madge Bellamy proves herself worthy
of stellar honors in her portrayal of
the title role.
Notable among the members of the
cast are John Bowers, as John Ridd;
Frank Keenan, as Sir Ensor Doone,
and Donald MacDonald, as the villlan,
Carver Doone.
"The Pilgrim," Last Day

a soldier and a dude on the screen,
but now he blossoms forth in the full
regalia of a parson.
In "The Pilgrim" now showing at
the Page theatre, he discards his bat
tered derby and swagger cane for the
clerical hat and frock. "
The complications' which ensue
when an eloping couple endeavor to
get "The Pilgrim" to marry them and !
when he is unwittingly forced into the
pulpit by a chain of extraordinary clr- j
cumstances, are among the most hidjc-,
rous ever Bcreenod. ' : i
Chaplin's picture is now playing Its,
last day'B engagement at the Page
and as an added attraction Manager I
Geo. Hunt Is showing Elsie Ferguson I
In her greatest stage success, "The
