 The story begins aboard a ship in the south Pacific, with Howard returning to his post as governor of an island prison colony. After repeated rebuffs, he finally be- comes aquainted with his very at- tractive blonde felloW-passeng:r, Miss Gilbert, who thereupon evil dences deep interest in his work, and accepts his invitation to stop off and see the colony in opera ton. It is not until later that the audience learns that the girl has deliberately planned the visit to the island, in furtherance of her plan to see Roland, confined in the colony as a prisoner. Thus begun, the story progresses dramatically to a surprising climax.
 The second first-run hit on the same program is Meath the Brook lyn Bridge" which stars the East Side. Kids, and features Noah Beery, Jr., and Ann Gillis in the roc mantle leads.

the new habit of positive thinking,

it is just as easy to choose the
right thoughts as it is to choose
right words. Therefore command
your dull drab thoughts of worry,

MAJOR HERBERT p. BECKER

Nicaragua was the scene of a
series of skirmishes and adventure

during the late 1920's and early
1905, an era of unrest caused by
bands of outlaws whose leaders
were eager for power and wealth.
Conditions became so acute that in
tervention by Leathernecks became
necessary.
1t was in 1881 that Maj. Herbert
p. Becker, then first lieutenant,
won the Distinguished Flying Cross
for outstanding performances of
duty in the Central American re-
public.
While leading two-plane patrol,
Maj. Becker discovered a large
band of outlaws at Saclin, on the
Coco river, which was believed to
have been the center of operations
for the bandits.

the bandits fled in confusion. AL
though his plane was badly dam
aged by bullets, Maj. Becker sue
ceeded in reaching his base.
Four days later Maj. Becker, pi-
loting his plane over the mountain
GUS Nicaraguan region during ex-
tremely adverse weather, protected
the landing of U. S. Marines SO
well that the bandits fired only a
few stray bullets. So effective was
his maneuvering that Marines oc-
cupied their objective, Saclin, with
out casualty.
Maj. Becker was appointed to
Annapolis from the enlisted ranks

1920, and was commissioned a sec
