discovered.
After Lenoi had recovered from
the exertions Of fighting his way
through the coral reefs to shore
he ventured inland, believing that
he had been tossed upon an un-
inhabited island of the South Seas
But he quickly made a thrilling
discovery, for he beheld an axe, a
lawn mower and other implements

Then he came upon Mavis. Nav

jacques heart beat more rapidly
than customary when he beheld
her She greeted him in such a
friendly manner that Jacques
forgot his plight and began TO
thank his lucky stars.
Mavis led him to the dean, who,
Jacques, discovered, was the head
of a colony of several hundred
persons who had been cast upon
the island during shtpwrecks and
had established model commun-
ity, where everybody did as they
pleased and where everything
could be obtained without money.
There was regular barroom,
where one could drink his fill
without spending a cent; an i'm
mense cafe, where the finest of

where the more you ate the more
the cafe keeper felt honored; and
there were luxurious homes for
everybody. The women of the
colony constituted sewing circle
which made all the clothes; fuel
was unnecessary because the
climate was ideal all the year.
1t was regular paradise hidden
from the world, and In 1t Jacques,
who had Travelled all over the

found peace and happiness.

AT BLIGH THEATER TODAY

Frank Mayo adds credit to th'
name which his illustrious grand
father first established ON tn,
American stage in "Davy Crock
EFT" and other legitimate successes
in his starring performance II
Tracked to Earth" at the Bligf
theater today.
1t is a Saturday Evening Post
story written by William Neidig
1t was filmed at Universal City as
Universal Special Attraction un-
der the direction of William
Worthington.
Mayo has been a star with Uni
versal too many years to do badly
in anything. And the main figure
in slippery Tongue" is that Of an
intriguing fascinating fellow who
incidentally happens to be honest.
The natural result of putting a
good star and a good part together
follows.
The story has to do with slick
tongued man of the west who
could talk himself out of any trou-
ble-even horse-stealing when a
typical western girl is his captor.
Virginia Valli contributes a
charming impersonation to the
general effect. Principal players
who deserve commentator are
Busk Conners, Duke Lee, Harold
Goodwin, Arthur Millett, Percy
Challenger, Jack Walters and Lon
Poff.
Good photography Of hard
subject-the barren wastes of
great stretches of sand hills in the
sand hills country-may be credit
ed to Leland Lancaster, and the
choice of excellent scenic spots for
background to the director.

INSANE MOTHER
TIES UP HER SON

CHICAGO.-A tragic expression
Of mother love was revealed today
when authorities entered the Kozeny
home.
In rear room they found the
wasted frame of 30-year-old James
Kozeny, bound hand and foot to
bed. For three years the mother
had kept him a prisoner, fearing
that he would be taken from her
when he showed traces of insanity.
When released, Kozeny was unable
to move his limbs, paralyzed by
their long Stacking.
Mrs. Kozeny, the only other oc-
cupant of the cottage that became
know as the Mystery House" be-
cause of the weird cries and gibber-
ing talk that filtered through its
boarded windows fought the officers
who attempted to gain entrance.
They were forced to break down
the barricade with an axe.
GU can { take my boy from
me " Mrs. Kozeny screamed. "You
can kill me, but you can't have
him."
The rear room in which the son,
a living skeleton, was confined, had
been walled up by the mother. He
was kept in total darkness.
Mrs. Kozeny, it was said, herself
had become a maniac from her self
imposed Imprisonment. She left
the house only long enough to buy
provisions, she said, haunted by
fear that her son would be taken
from her.
Both mother and son were takeh
to the psychopthic hospital.
