“TITK SUBAIARINE EYE" to-nig i it.

To-night- (Tuesday) at I lie Princess Theatre, Mel .can’s presold 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 hod of the ocean from (lie decks of ships. Hut after perfecting liis instrument' lie found no market for it. Everybody admired it and congratulated him on his remarkable invention, hut laid no use for it. Then, just as lie 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 oil a little island in the Pacific. AVliile 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 mouth when the voiin*' inventor hurst into the room with his invention. The result was that a steam yacht was lilted out. lint forgetting the “submarine eye,” the name of the wonderful instrument, and hound 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 “'I he Submarine E.vo” at the Princess Theatre to-night. A comedy and gazette will also lie shown.
