<> “THE SUBMARINE EVE" TUESDAY.

To-morrow (Tuesday) at the Princess Theatre, McLean’s present a great underwater attraction “The Submarine Eye.” Some "years ago, in a dingy little attic, tucked away in the heart of foggy London, a young inventor conceived the idea of exploring the bed of the ocean from the decks of ships. Iliit after perfecting his instrument he found no market for it. Everybody admired it and congratulated him on his remarkable invention, but bad no use for it. Then, just as he considered life a hopeless failure, he overheard a story by an old salt in the next apartment. It, was how, years and years ago he had found a chest of gold on a little island in the Pacific. "While conveying it aboard a storm arose, sunk the boat, and for all the speaker knew it was still lying under the ocean, waiting for an energetic man to find it. Hardly had the last words fallen from the sailor’s mouih when the young inventor burst into the room with his invention. The result was that a steam yacht was fitted out, not forgetting the “submarine eye,’’ the name of the wonderful instrument, and bound for the sunken treasure. 'This is just the commencement of one of the. mightiest adventures ever told by the screen. There’s thrilling adventure after adventure above and below the surface, crammed tight into eight cyclonic reels. So don’t miss “Ike Submarine Eve" at the Princess Theatre to-night. A comedy and gazette will also be shown.
