“TRACKED TO EARTH” ON SATURDAY.
At the local theatre on Saturday, the Universal special, “Tracked to Earth,” will be screened. Known only as “Slipper Tongue,” a stranger (Frank Mayo) comes into the Sand Hills country tct fall in love and also into the hands of men of that country who accuse him of stealing horses. They postpone banging him until after breakfast because the nearest tree is thirty miles away, and they don’t want to start so long a ride on empty stomachs. “Slipper Tongue” escapes from the gaol and hides in the desert, covering himself with sand and holding a tumble-weed in his teeth to camouflage his head. Anna, the girl, finds him thus and falls in love before she can make up her mind to summon assistance. However, he is discovered, captured again, but turns the tables on his accusers in a most, extraordinary manner. He and Anna mutually agree upon a future together, to the extreme happiness of everyone concerned.
“THE PRICE OF POSSESSION” ON
MONDAY
Supported *by a cast ol unusual merit, directed by a master in a play which has for its contrasted settings the savage wilds of the Australian hush and the refinements of an English manor. Ethel Clayton gives in “The Price of Possession” one of tne most satisfying and pleasing demonstrations of her ability in intensely human roles that she has yet enacted for the screen. The dramatic -incidents arising in the development, of the plot crowd one upon another with such haste, and withal so logically, that the interest of the spectator cannot flag for a moment.
