Snow White
The story opens in the ante-room of the royal bed-chamber. The queen dies. She was the mother of Snow White. A year later the king brings home a wicked queen. Snow White is presented to her stepmother. The queen sees in her magic mirror a message that Snow White will be prettier than she. The king leaves the country for a short period. No sooner is the king gone, than the queen compels a hunter to carry Snow White to the woods and slay her. The hunter weakens and sets Snow White free. He kills a rabbit, and in the blood of the slaughtered animal dips his handkerchief, which he shows to the queen as proof that he has carried out his mission. Snow White sees a cottage in the distance, and goes to it. Finding it apparently vacant, she enters and searches through the rooms, in the fireplace a pot is boiling. The table is spread. The beds are made. She lies on one of the beds and falls asleep. Seven little men are at work in a mine. At the close of the day they stop their labor and march home in military fashion. The leader finds Snow White. He summons his mates and they awaken the sleeper. Snow White agrees to keep house for the little folks. The queen, through her mirror, has learned that the hunter has played her false. The next day she goes in disguise to the hut. She gives Snow White a poisoned comb. Snow White falls unconscious. When the dwarfs return they soon discover the trouble and remove the comb, restoring Snow White. The next day the queen returns. In spite of the warnings of the dwarfs the queen is admitted by Snow White. The queen induces her to eat of a poisoned apple. Snow White falls dead. The dwarfs bemoan the loss of their princess. The queen learns of the death of Snow White. The glass tells her, "Oh, queen, there is none in the land so beautiful as thou." A prince now comes upon the scene. From a hill he sees a strange sight. He dismounts and approaches a casket of glass, surrounded by seven mourning little men. He leans over the casket and kisses the face of the still figure within. Immediately Snow White comes to life. The king and queen are at the head of the court assembling to greet a new prince and his bride. It is the prince and Snow White. The queen is exposed and turned out. The king welcomes his restored daughter and her prince and gives the two his blessing.
