A LEOPARD QUEEN Is the Title of a Great Picture Reel at the Star Theater Tonight A WONDERFUL STORY Is Told in a Realistic and Fascinating Manner by Motion Pictures ‘The Leonpard Queen" at Stoneburne’s Star theater tonight will probably be the greatest motion picture Teel fever shown in Decatur. The story as told in the synopsis is most interesting. Many years ago a famous sea captain and his beautiful daughter were wrecked in the south seas and finally reached a deserted island. There they lived for years, and finally the old captain died, teaving the girl of perhaps twenty summers alone in a place inhabited by no thing or person save wild beasts’. Lonesome, and hungry for something to love and be loved, the girl one Cay found two baby leopard kittens and took them to her hut. She was greatly surprised to discover that tiie mother leopard followed, so she took the mamma in also and the family became great friends, more babies coming to join the singular household. Shortly afterward, a ship was manned by a millionaire showman to search for wild animals and they landed at the out of the way island. While hunting through the wilds one day they beheld the mother leopard and her children, and were just ready to shoot the mother that they might easily capture the young ones, when the girl whom they had not seen walks from behind a large rock and throws her arm about the beautiful animal. The girl is rescued and brought home but insists on bringing her pets with her. It is a marvel in the motion picture business.
