GRAND THEATRE.
"La-Bohemc," the screen adaptationo£ the opera of tho same name, is tlio main attraction at tho Grand Theatre this week. The etory is well known to all. Its setting is in Paris, amongst those delightful artists and writers who bo cheerfully eke out an existence in the Latin quarter. Mimi is a frail and affectionate seamstress, who lives amongst this band of artists. She falls in love with the robust Rodolphe, who only too willingly returnß her affection. Rodolphe is a young journalist struggling to prove his worth as a writer of plays. Mimi invariably takes the articles to the newspaper office, and when a particularly. poor one is sent, ehe is told that her lover can receive no more work from tne paper. Mimi, however, struggles to provide a living for them both, so that Rudolph can complete his great play. There is a dramatic _ ending when Rudolph sußnecls Mimi of being tinfaithful and Bhe flees to the slums. The climax is rather unusual.
