NEW YORK, Dec. 25.—The real

Sleepytime Tales
THE BAD LITTLE CHICK.
Once upon a time, a long time
ago, twelve little chickens were
hatched and lived all together in a
nice warm hen house. One little
chick was a very cross child
and no one liked him. As he grew
up he wouldn't have anything to
do with the others. This made his
mother feel badly and she told him
how foolish he was to be so dis
agreeable, but. Instead of making
him better, it only made him worse.
He went around the yard crow'ing
as loud as he could until one day
he was going to seek his fortune.
He scratched his way out under
the fence and as he walked along
he came to a stream of water.
The water said: ‘flood Morning,**
but the chick turned it’s head away
and crowed loudly.
At last he reached the city and
crowed so loud that a man saw
him and ran after him. This fright
ened the chick so that he called
out, “help, help.” The wind heard
him and said: “I will help you get
away, but, if I do, you must do
just as I say.’’
The chick promised that he would
for the man was close behind him
and the poor little chick had run
so fast he was all out of breath
and he knew that soon the man
would catch him. As soon as the
chick had promised to obey, the
w'ind blew very hard and filled the
man’s eyes full of dust so he
couldnn’t see the chick and he had
to stop running to wipe his eyes
and the chick ran out of his reach
and was saved.
The wind blew the chick along
until he was safe and then show
ed him a place where he could live.
Now the bad little chick wasn’t a
bit grateful to the wind after he
was saved but was disagreeable
and didn’t pay any attention to
what the wind said, although he
promised he would. -
This made the wind very angry
and one day, when the chick was
very bad and wouldn’t do any
thing the wind told him, the wind
said: “You are a bad chick and I
shall punish you. As long as you
live you must stay up high on a
steeple and when 1 say turn, you
must turn.”
In a «*?cond the bad chick was ;
blown up high on the tallest stee
ple and there he stands today and
when the wind says, “turn to the
east,” he has to turn and when the
wind tell* him to turn to the west,
north or south, the chick must turn.
Some people call it a weathercock I
but I call it still, a bad little
chick.

The delicious Irish wit of "Peg O’
My Heart" which Is booked to appear
at the Grand Theatre on Friday and
Saturday. December 29 and 30, with
popular priced matinee on Saturday,
la the kind one often reads about, but
rarely meets face to face, as it were.
It ripples, it scintillates, flashes like
sunlight upon the stream, slips behind
a cloud, with every promise of rain,
and just as the tears are about to run
over, the captivating brogue and Irres
istible humor, kindly in intent, comes
to the surface and are welcomed with
smiles and laughter. Not in years has
the stage presented a character so
lovable, so sincere, so human, so happy,
so sorrowful, so sturdy, so boyish, so
girlish in tenderness and sympathy as
"Peg O' My Heart.” The human quali
ties of "Peg O' My Heart" constitute its
greatest charm.

“SWEETHEARTS."

romance, Victor Herbert’s masterpiece,
with charming Julia Gilford, will be
acted at the Grand Theatre. Matinee
and night, Monday, January 1st, V917.
It is an operetta in two acts and the
story in which Harry B. Smith and
Fred de Gresac have interwoven with
the Herbert melodies, concerning “Syl
via,” a lost Princess, who was taken
from her home in war times and left
in a tulip garden, where she '« found
bv Dame Paula, a laum.ress. She grows
up as Paula's adopted daughter and
Anally a prince, an heir presumptive,

stacles thrown in his path to prevent
him from marrying beneath his sta
tion, until it is proven later that Syl
via was of equal birth wlte him and
then everyone is happy.
Music lovers will revel in a tor
rent of Herbert.an melodics which will

“KATINKA."
"In A Hurry,” one of the lively eolo
and chorus numbers of "Katinka,"
which Arthur Hammerstein will present
at the Grand Theatre Thursday, Jan
uary 4th, 1917, sets the pace early in
the first act of the new musical play, .
which so brilliantly scored on Broad
way last winter, and the speed does not
slacken during the course of the three
nets, moving to a hilarious finale,
“Watin)ta," which is the work of Otto
Hauserbach and Rudolf Friml. authors
of “The Firefly” v<d "High Jinks,” has
eclipsed the two former compositions
of its creators in metropolitan popu
larity, and promises to take the entire
country by storm. The musical score is
particularly rich in decisive musical
hits, headed by “Rackety Coo," which
forces its way immediately into the
heart and the brain of the listener and
becomes thoroughly domiciled. It is
one of those tunes that keep whistling
and humming themselves for days af
terwards. Then, besides “Rackety Coo”
and “In A Hurry,” there is the beauti
ful love song, “Katinka," the richly
humorous "I Want to Marry a Male
Quartette” and “Your Photo.” A chorus
of richly attired girls lends light and
life and color to these numbers, and
they are surrounded by three of the
handsomest stage settings that have
ever come out of the art shop of Mr.
Hammerstein.
