GLOBE THEATRE.

No more thrilling tale has been pictorially told than that disclosed in “The Leopard Avenger,” the head liner at the Globe Theatre on Monday. Crowded audiences witnessed its presentation with tense interest. It tells of a story of a chemist who with his daughter and assistants, lives in the heart of Africa, to pursue his scientific studies. He succeeds in learning how to make diamonds, and the secret is about to be stolen from him by an agent of the diamond trust, when his daughter’s pet leopard attacks the thief, and avenges its master. The story teems with life and adventure, and takes one through all the excitement of a leopard hunt in the wilds of Africa, in addition to the other sensational incidents. An absorbing detective drama was unfolded in “Thumb Prints,” with Maurice Costello in the leading role, while plenty of romance was attached to the story of a factory girl who came into a fortune. “Sam goes Yachting,” “Tweedledum as Cabman,” convulsed everyone with laughter, while beautiful views of Germany, and items of interest from an English gazette, ranked high in pictorial merit. The accompanying music added to the general enjoyment.
