Milton Sills

MILTON SILLS was born in Chicago, Ill., on January 12th., 1882, and received his education at the University of Chicago, in which he later became an instructor in philosophy. Evincing a mild interest in amateur theatricals, Mr. Sills was one day seen by a prominent producer and manager, who, realizing that here was a splendid actor, made him an offer, which fortunately Mr. Sills accepted, and so the school lost a popular professor, and the stage and screen gained a popular star. Following a long and fruitful stage experience, Mr. Sills appeared to great advantage in Fox's "The Honor System," and he has since risen to great heights as a screen star. He is a splendid type of virile manhood, athletics being his recreation. Standing 6 feet 1 inch in height, he weighs 190 lbs., and has brown hair and gray eyes.
