LOUIS |. LOUFT
MUCH ENTHUSED
WITH KEY WEST
MUCH TAKEN UP OVER TRoP-
IcAL BEAUTY; TAKES PIC
TUREs OF MANY SCENES IN
ISLAND CITY

Louis L. Louft, part owner of
the Louft and Wolf photograph
ing concern in Washington, d. C.,
enthusiast not only over the trop-
ical beauty of Key West but also
over its world-famous fishing,
has been taking a number of nat
ural color motion pictures and
still photos of Key West flower
banked streets and flower-cover-
ed houses, and of the marine life
at the aquarium. He has also en-
gagged boy to secure a number
of live, briIliantly-colored reef
fish, which he intends to photo
graph.
Mr.. Louft has no present inten-
ton to commercialize on the
films and photos he has taken
and viii take, and asked by The
Citizen if he would not like to
show them before a public gath
ering here he replied in the af-
firmative. He has a film showing
the catching of a tarpon, and
with the scenes he has taken of
Key West and will soon edit, he
states that a sufficiently lengthy
evening can be arranged. On his
next visit here, which will prob
ably be in June, he promises to
bring a protector and the films
with the intention Of staging a
key West Picture Evening.
This is the third time within
the year that MIR. Louft has come
here and is at the Oversee Ho-
tel. He rightly thinks that Key
West waters are a fishermen's
paradise. His prize fish story this
year is the 20-pound barracuda.

barracuda on the extremely light

MIR. Louft is the gentleman who
went shark fishing from the F. E.
c. docks last year and captured
three huge sharks, the largest
weighing 500 pounds. The sharks
he hooked the first few nights
