We will place jiipon the United States and Canadian market, daring the week of January 20-27, an exceptonally fine GAU1HONT subject, entitled: "THE WATER BABIES; Or. THE LITTLE CHIMNEY SWEEP." A wonderful adaptation of the well known story by Charles Klngslcy. TEEMING WITH INTEREST PATHETIC AND BEAUTIFUL MAGNIFICENT SPECTACULAR SUBMARINE EFFECT8 The first scenes show In a realistic manner how Tommy, the little sweep, is cruelly Ill-treated by bis master, Grimes—we witness the arrival at the Manor House—Tommy Is brutally thrashed and driven up the chimney, and is next seen on the roof, exhausted and obliged to rest. Presently be descends by another chim- ney In the same stack, and the scene changes to the Interior of Elite's bedroom. Tommy, coming suddenly from the darkness, can hardly believe his eyes, ami when EHIc wakens, the two children are engrossed, each In the story of the other's lite and surroundings. Suddenly the nurse enters—Tommy Is mistaken for a thief and flies, the Squire and Grimes, with the household servants and stable hands, giv- ing chase. Driven to desperation, Tommy throws himself Into the river, snd the cluiso la ended. We follow Tommy sb he slowly sinks to the bottom of the sen where little shell maids, taking -pity on him. steal away his dirty clothes and change him to a water baby. He has many glorious adventures—fighting a huge octopus —chasing an unwary diver through magnificent lanes or vistas of coral, anil over the rocky and shell strewn lands, and finally rescuing htm from a ghastly death. (Staging unsurpassed for scenic grandeur and picturesque illusion.) We here return to the world above—Grimes In a drunken fury falls and Is drowned. Arriving at the bottom of the sea he meets Tommy, and from habit pro- ceeds to sttack him; selling a hues rock, he hurls It at the naked boy, but to no effect, for the rock Is transformed into a sea maiden, who, with one wave of her hand, turns the wretch into an enormous fish, and he swims away unconscious oC evil Intent. ^ Ten Years Later—Elite, who has never forgotten the little dirty boy who wor- shipped her, persuades a mermaid to take her to him, snd after she has been duly changed by the shell maidens she at once recognises Tommy, now grown to man- hood. The greetings are hardly over when the enthusiastic couple notice a huge anchor-which is being slowly bauled up from above—they seat themselves one on either side of the massive stock, and In this way are hauled up out of sight to the surface of the deep sea.
