w. c. T. U. MEET

The W. C. T u. meeting held Nom
day afternoon at Trinity annex was
very encouraging. There was splen-
did attendance.
Superintendents of the different de-
partments are beginning the years
work with much enthusiasm. Mrs.
A. E. Gammage gave beautiful talk
on the Eighty-fourth Psalm. Mrs.
Northrop told us of the originators of
the W. c. T. u, and what it stand
for, which was very instructive, espe-
cially to the new members. Another
entertainment feature was a song,
white, Ribbons" sung as a duet by
Mrs. Northrop and Miss Philstrom.
After the meeting a social hour was
thoroughly enjoyed. Light refresh
ments were served.

THREE LITTLE FISHERMEN
WITH THREE LITTLE BOATS
SPOIL ANCLOTE FISHING

The Leader was informed this morn
ing by three gentlemen that they en-
countered three fishermen with three
fishing boats and a power launch as
they came into the mouth of the An
clote river last Monday afternoon at
about four o'clock These fishermen
had the entire river SPAWNED with their
nets except part of the channel
which was left open to traffic.
Of course fishing in the river. with
rod and reel is not interfered with by
the commercial fishermen keeping the
fish out of the river. The only thing
is that the rod and reel fishermen
never get any fish for their trouble.
The Leader asked the question yes
terday if the committee which had
been appointed to see that the fish
laws We're enforced were going to dc
anything along this line. We have nc
more interest in this matter than has
any other citizen of Tarpon Springs,
but we do believe that it would be a
paying investment, regardless of what
it may cost, if the Anclote river could
be protected for the benefit of our
visitors who come here to fish. If the
fishing here was always good the num-
Der of visitors would increase year af-
| ter wear. But we do not believe the
laws are going to be tested in this
case, but that some talking will be in
culge din and the matter forgotten. 1t
is up to the citizens and tax payers
to decide whether they want the rod
and 1eel fishermen protected or the
commercial fishermen.

A SHOWERING SURPRISE

Last night the members of the NJ
E. Church, South gave a surprise
shower to the newly weds Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Rouse. The first gather
ing was at the parsonage. Miss Nena
Tompson and Mrs. Longacre were sent
ahead on the pretense of making an
e ening call and little later the
church folks went in a body. The sur
prise was complete. During the even
ing the ladies served the healthful
juice of the Grape Fruit with the ever
present and useful Nabisco and some
eats unknown to the writer. Follow
ing the punch bowl number Mr.. and
Mrs. Rouse examined the packages
containing useful articles brought by
those present and sent by some that
could not attend. ST.
The evening closed with the good
wishes of those present, the song
"Blest Be the Tie That Binds" and a
prayer by the pastor, Rev. l. W. Long
acre.

KNUTS ENCOUNTERED
IN A DAYS WORK

We dropped into the American Cafe
terra about 80 this afternoon, feel
ing the necessity of rep1enishing the
inner man. One other knut was there
and he was talking loudly and deliber-
ately between mouthfuls to the people
who serve. The burden of his song
was that he had given the proprie-
tor a five dollar bill and received
change for one. The proprietor was
out for few minutes making a de-
post in the bank and upon returning
the knut informed him that four dol
lars were coming to him which the
proprietor promptly handed over,
though he was not sure whether or
no he owed the knut the four.
But in the interval said lmut adj
dressed his conversation across the
room to our humble selves, voluntari-
ly informing US that he came from the
same town as our mayor, DR.. ]. E.
Douglass. He then asked US if we
lived here and we admitted it. Next
question was: "Does Harry Greene
have a home here or is he just tour
ist?" We replied that Mr.. Greene had
a fine winter home here. The knut
came back with the question: as he
very rich ?" We replied that we be-
lieved Mr.. Greene was pretty well
fixed financially. The next question
was: els he liberal like Mr.. Mayo =?
You know Mr.. Mayo gave us $50 for
our welfare work last time I was over
here; Mr.. Greene is perfectly able to
do likewise if he wishes, is he not q
We said we believed Mr.. Greene was
Next information was to the effect
that Mr.. B. C.. Mayo had gone to New
York for short trip-we did no
know that-and by this time we has
finished our lunch and hurried on tx
our business.
But to go back a bit, the knut ex
planned that he knew he gave the pro
prieor five dollar bill because he hat
one, five and ten when he stratee
out this morning, that he gave the one
to the bus driver who brought him
over from Tampa and still had the
ten so he knew he had given the five
to the proprietor of the cafeteria.
Amt it funny what things we meet
in a day. Keep diary and see fol
yourself.

THEDA BARA IN CLEOPATRA
AT THE ROYAL THURSDAY

The name of Theda Bara is of itself
enough to attract the moyie fan who
is up on the moving picture business.
We mean, of course, the person who
has made some study of the work.
Just as one who has studied art is at
tracted by the name of George Inness,
Theda Bara stands without peer in
the part she plays as Cleopatra. She
is the acme of perfection in the part
and is acknowledged so by the very
best authorities. The great and strong
point of this show is the fact that
Theda Bara has, in the play of Cleo
patra, the chance to show her wonder
full ability and adaptability to the role.
1t was her opportunity and she grasp
ed it. She worked hard and she sue
ceeded beyond the fondest hopes even
of those who we'll knew her wonderful
powers. ..
There are many features of the play
that are of use and benefit to all class
es Of people. Cleopatra is gold mine
for fashion designers. Where she por-
trays the title role as much attention
has been paid to the true presentation
of ancient Egyptian dress as has been
paid to the crashing effects and dra-
matte intensity of the events in Cleo
patra's life. Thus it is that by looking
at the picture one obtains a correct
idea of the. ancient Egyptian dress
Before and during the producrlon OF
this wonderful picture ten seamstress-
es were constantly working on Miss
Bara's costumes.
cleopatra is the most spectacular
photodrama Mr.. Fox has ever had q
hand in. 1t leaves nothing to be desir'
ed. The battle scenes at the climax
are wonderfully impressive. The pal.
ace of the queen, the raiment of the
queen and the. queen herself are the
last word in regal magnificence.
Too much praise cannot be given the
management of the Royal theatre fol
bringing this wonderful portrayal Of
grandeur and human emotion here
The price of admission is less than i:
charged in the larger cities and it il
expected that the house will b.
crowded both afternoon and night.
At the Royal theatre Thursday mat
inee and night.

We have often wondered why some
film producing company had not stag
ed productions in the beautiful section
embracing Tarpon Springs, the An
clote river and the gulf. At last this
is now being done, and the producer
of the film says it will undoubtedly be
one of the most interesting stories
ever shown on screen.
The story will be Will Bradley's own
idea and will consist of nine reels, be-
ing an evenings entertainment.
The question naturally comes next:
who is Will Bradley?
1t gives The Leader pleasure to tell
our people that Will Bradley comes
from Short Hills, N. j., that for five
years he was art expert for five Of our
leading magazines, one of these publ
cations being the Century magazine
which, we understand, was originated
by George Inness, ST., and handed
down to his son, as was also handed
down the fathers great genius for re-
producing on canvas the marvellous
beauties of nature.
Mr.. Bradley is recognized in the
newspaper world as it's leading typog-
rapher. His artistic ability in arrang-
ing the printed pages causing him to
be promoted to the position of manag-
ing editor Of Golfers Weekly, which
he had complete control of for two
years, and which he greatly improved.
For the past three years Mr.. Brad
Hey has been directing some of our
leading film companies, having staged
a number of our famous film produe-
tiorfs. About a year ago lie became al
filiated with J. Morgan Shuster, presi-
dent of the Century Magazine compa-
ny, and is now owner and director of
a corporation which is sparing no ex-
pense in producing feature films, the
name of this company being Drama
films"
Mr.. Bradley says he has never start
ed work on big picture under such
favorable conditions as he has found
in Tarpon Springs. He is lavish in
his praise of the courtesy and assist
ance our merchants have rendered him
in securing the needed paraphernalia
for his work, and the hearty coopera-
ton received from our board of trade,
with the free hand which has been Civ
en- him by Mr.. and Mrs. George In
ness, jr., in the use of their mammoth
place on the Anclote river; also, the
city officials who have offered to do
anything in their power to help make
this picture, which is destined to be-
come as famous as "Twenty Thousand
Leagues Under the Sea-, "The Birth
of Nation, and similar master film
