-.ACT FROM AN UNPUBLISHED MS. OF "FAIRY

- - .
LEGENDS OF LANCASHIRE."
an°lrtakep upon a time—a long time ago—before "Leverpole" was
kon"!eg but a poor fishing village, there was a wicked destroying
h
nter who, with a company of spirits as bad as imself took
la, Is abode in a wild part of the country, near to the said ve
Leverpole." It was a place shunned an account of its
et
ti,,Pute. In the midst of this wilderness stood a tree, known
4114.1,t time as a monstrous ugly tree, and called "The Knotty
bciillttT, on the border of this wilderness, Nature, who. is ever
if a jYYI, had placed a most beautiful Lake, which was the abode
0( a who seldom appeared to mortal eyes but in Lie shape
by 'wan, and this Swan having been seen for hundreds of years ,
h„saccessive generations, was. notwithstanding her exceeding
naturally called " The Old Swan."
14,MS• HY THE AUTHOR OF THE PANTOMIME.—The said
sre,„`Y Ash still stands, and has given name to a village, but it
sea) be a very handsome tree after the bad spirits left the
pp their
Purhood, and a great many choice spirits have since taken
I..aeir abode there.
SO ,regard to the beautiful lake, it is imagined it was swallowed
41', the " Revington Pike," but the memory of the " Old
bra, is still retained in the locality, in affectionate remem-
fornee of the kind Fairy, who had achieved such good fortune
kid ,I,ent• Upon this Legend the present Pantomime is founded,
tto„ as it is good to be merry and wise,", an attempt has been
4,4117 to combine science with amusement in the form of a Panto-
tticincl Allegory, which, it is hoped, will excite and gratify
"Stt in juvenile and inquiring minds.
holt TIE ALLEGORY—" FIRE AND WATER,"
tonl, _Dborus, the Fire King, wages war with, and tries to oyer-
by urystaline, the Water Queen, who being suddenly surprised
thro,„,"), after having, as she thought, extinguished his flame by
the appearance
cold water on it, is released from his fiery embrace by
spr;ulVearance of Steam, to whom, in return, she promises aid
144r_Protection. Steam is in love with Sweetsmile, daughter of
kaiu.,4lllunderhead. who is the proprietor of an important do-
tre,'2, Inhabited by the " Somebodies ;" but the Baron being a
14.; enemy to scientific progress, and withal very ambitious, re-
lerne!to match his daughter with any but a king. In this
Steam, with the advice of the Water Quefn, and taking
:A„'ca and Labour, his companions, with kiln, visits the
'lv",aciente ;Fishynge Village of Leverpole," inhabited by the
I?tladies," and which is on the verge of destruction and decay.
artie the poor Fishermen are almost starving, when Steam
oreslucky moment, and to n their aid in obtaining the
Voect of his affections, changes with his irresistible power the
r paltry village to the "First Commercial City in the World."
tha, Vire Kingis so enraged at the great chane capturing by Steam,
that he seeks to deprive him of his power by the Water
Rips, and for this purpose takes advantage of a very hard
to invade the ice-bound domains of her Majesty, but here
Fit rage overcomes his prudence; for, forgetful of the effects of
Ithoatuongst Ice, a rapid thaw takes place. in which Fire is over-
-114 .IXed, and "put out." The ‘t ater Queen is released from
tct,P,lison of Ice, and Steam, united to his beloved Sweetsmile,
