GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
''Moulin Rouge," now showing at the Grand Opera House, is a triumph for that ever-popular actress Constance Bennett. Tlie story, concerns the- attraction the stage holds for a young married woman, Helen by name, and its results. Previous to her marriage, Helen has been on the stage with Raquel, a girl who resembles her in every detail except colouring. •Raquel has since become famous, and Helen's husband, a playwright, is. engaged in writing a play in which Raquel is intended to be starred^ Helen, however, still has ambitions, and takes advantage of Raquel's desire for withdrawal to take her i>lace. She plays the part of Raquel so successfully that she comes near to wrecking her own conjugal happiness, for h?r husband comes under the spell of the supposed celebrity. The striking thing about the whole picture is the way Constance Bennett plays . the two widely differing roles of Helen and Raquel. Besides this, the production- is a spectacular one, and many dazzling ballets are presented. The picture is particularly well provided, with music.
