TO-NIGHT.

To-night at the Princess Theatre Pollard’s are screening a special feature i>y the Associated Producers from the story by Stewart Edward White entitled “The Leopard Woman”, Louise Glaum and House Peters share the honours of the leading parts in this big South African attraction. “The Leopard Woman”, presents Louise Glaum in the title role of a picture that is wonderful in scope, tremendous in drnmatia width and inevitable in appeal. The story from the novel by Stewart Edward White bears the same hall mark as that of “Sahara” “Sex” and

“The Lone Wolfs Daughter.” In t opposite role of Miss Glaum is House Peters a§ a scientist explorer who finds his way blocked by a mysterious : beautiful woman, known to him as The Leopard Woman. Then follows the elemental conflict of a strong man with a determined woman, against a primitive and inspiring setting—the wilds of African Congo. Both Jose their fight against love, however, and the wonderful romance, told by Stewart Edward White, loses nothing of its telling .is a picture play.

Supporting this big feature is Lb. latest Pathe Gazette and ft two reel Vitagraph Comedy “Hand to Mouth” starring Harold Lloyd.
