SUN BATH CURE
SICK MILLIONAIRE IN PRISON
Los Angeles, December 29. The authorities intend giving Alexander Pantages sun baths in the nude to cure him of his prison psychosis. The multi-millionaire showman, after six weeks in gaol, pleaded that he was dying from heart disease. Six physicians confirmed this diagnosis Pantages made of himself, but the Judge declined to release him on bail because of the physicians’ assurance that all that ailed him was worry of being locked np, something that troubles many miscreants during their first months in prison. Life in gaol is preyin on his mind. So he will get sun and diet treatment, the same as was recently given to Asa Keyes, a former District Attorney, who is Pantages’ cellmate.
