Your Dream Has Come True At Last!

Wore you ever a childt

Do you remember how you used to sit by the fire on cold, stormy nights, at the fest of Someone who read to you from a big, flat. book? She told you all the marvels of the world, and all the dreams that are too happy to be realized in the world. And you listen- ed, rapt..

And when She would turn a pager you would jump to your feet at once, and put your hand on Ear art, and sak in your child voice's

May I see the picture?**

Then She would show you a wonderful thing of red and yellow and green and blue, which contained all the fairies of the universe, and the giants and dragons and dwarfs. And you would look at it lovingly, and whisper to Her:

wish there was a picture of the whole story, don't you?

Like the hero in the story to which you listened, your wish has now come true.

You CAN see a picture of the whole story-a picture Filled with all the elusive charm and mystery which pervaded the reading of the story on that cold, stormy night. The genius of a score of men has perfected the moving-picture process that you might see your favourite tale in life; and the master mind of William Fox has discovered that YOU: wanted to see this tale, and has transplanted. it to the realm of screenland. Jack, the Frincess the Giant, even the titanic beans- talk are there before you,, tangible things.

**Jack and the Beanstalk' You can see
