Conld an Association of This Kind be Otherwise Than A Benefit to Ton? Slop and Consider! We will place ,npon the United States and Canadian market, ■during the week of January 20-27, an exceptonally fine GAUMONT subject, entitled: "THE WATER BABIES; Or. THE LITTLE CHIMNEY SWEEP." A wonderful adaptation ot the well known etory by Charles Klngsley. TEEMING WITH INTEREST PATHETIC AND BEAUTIFUL MAGNIFICENT SPECTACULAR SUBMARINE EFFECTS Tbe first scenes show In a realistic manner bow Tommy, the little sweep, Is cruelly Ill-treated by his master, Grimes—we witness tbe arrival at the Manor House—Tommy Is brutally thrashed and driven up the chlmnev, and Is next seen on the roof, exhausted and obliged to rest. Presently be descends by another chim- ney In the tame stack, and the scene changes to the Interior of Ellle's bedroom. Tommy, coming suddenly from the darkness, can hardly believe his eyes, and when Ellle wakens, the two children are engrossed, each In the story of the other's llfo 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, and the chase Is ended. We follow Tommy as he slowly sinks to the bottom of the sea where little shell maids, taking pity on him. steal away his dirty clothes and change blm to a water baby. He has many glorious adventures—fighting a huge octopus —chasing an unwary diver through magnificent lanes or vistas of coral, and over the rocky and shell strewn lands, and anally rescuing him from a ghastly death. (Staging unsurpassed for scenic grandeur and picturesque Illusion.) We here return to the world above—Grimes In a drunken fnry falls and Is drowned. Arriving at tbe bottom of the sea he meets Tommy, and from habit pro- ceeds to attack him; seizing a huge rock, he hurls it at the naked boy, but to no elect, for the rock Is transformed Into a sea maiden, who, with one wave of her band, turns the wretch Into an enormous Ash, and he swims away unconscious of evil Intent, Ton Years Later—Ellle, who has never forgotten the little dirty boy who wor- shipped her, persuades a mermaid to take her to him, and after she has been duly changed by the shell maidens she at once recognizes Tommy, now grown to man- hood. The greetings are hardly over when the enthusiastic couple notice a huge anchor which la being slowly hauled np from above—they seat themselves one on either side of the mnsslve stock, and In this way are hauled un out ot sight to the surface of the deep sea.
