Burning Daylight to Be Shown by City Fire Department
An all star cast led by Mitchell Lewis and Helen Ferguson will screen Burning Daylight, Jack London’s Yukon tale, next Saturday night July 30, as the Enegamp ment Fire Department presents the adaptation. The plot follows Elam Harnish, aka Burning Daylight, a daring prospector who amasses wealth in mining towns, battles financiers in New York, and chases love with Lucille Letton in a dramatic clash of luck and ambition. Dora, Lucille’s rival for Harnish’s heart, schemes to lure him, while Dora’s steadfast faith helps him regain himself for a final triumph amid the pressures of wealth and Wall Street finagling. Miss Ferguson stars as Dora. Mitchell Lewis, known for The Barrier, headlines with a strong supporting cast.
