"THE BABES IE THE WOOD."

At the King's, commencing at the matineo on Saturday, will be shown the fascinating and unique photo-phantasy produced by William Fox, entitled "The Babes in the Wood." The picture is said to be absolutely original trom a film point of view, and full of the most magnificent effects known to stagecraft and moving pictures. Tho pioture is one that will appeal not only to children —who have received it in other centres with the keenest joy—but also to the grown-ups, for it will tend to carry them back to the romance of their younger days of worry and uncertainty. The old story of the fairy tale books lives again under the magic wand of that great creator of pictures William Fox. The witcbc-s, goblins, gnomes, fairies, and such like beings of mystery will pass across the screen in quid? succession. Hundreds of beautiful children take the parts of the fairies in this picture and fill the roles of the witches, the princesses, and the heroes. The Babes are Virginia Lee> Corbin, who is only 4-£ years old, and Francis Carpenter, who is ono year older, and it is said that the work of these two little artists is excellent in all respects.
