DE LUXE THEATRE.

"Moulin Rouge" will be shown at the De Luxe Theatre from to-day untiL the following Thursday inclusive, with matinees daily at 2.30 and slightly at S o'clock. Tho settings and backgrounds aro declared to be nothing short, of wonderful, embracing tho glamorous night club lifo of Paris, and tho magnificently enacted stage and cabaret shows, which are a feature of Parisian night recreation. The cast, headed by Olg.i Tschcchowa, the famous Parisian actress ami musical comedy star. Eve Grsy, and Jean Bradin, numbers over 1000 players. The story of "Moulin Rouge," which is very unusual in its plot, deals with a young couple, who visit the Moulin Rouge, whore tho girl's mother is tho star. Tho young man, struck by the overwhelming beauty of his prospective mother-in-law, immediately falls in lovo with her, she too, being attracted, but loyally putting her daughter's happiness first. The climax is said to be as surprising as it is effective. Supporting subjects for "Moulin Rouge" are of high quality. "New Greater Collegians, No. 11 " starring George lewis and Dorothy Gulliver is an attractive item. A remarkable film novelty is that entitled "Mary's Little Lamb," and is a coloured Technicolour version of the famous fable. A Patho Pictorial and a further educational subject completo tho short subject section. Mr. Eraanuel Aarons will present a specially-arranged programme of incidental music. Box plans are available at The Bristol and Aitken's.

Iho Spy" will commence Its Wellington season at the De Luxe Theatre on sth April. The leading character of "The Spy," the latest production of Fritz Lang, is played by Rudolph Mein-Roggc, remembered by New Zealand audiences when he played in "Metropolis." The latest Lang production once more offers him a wonderful field for his specific art, the impenetrable mystery of the make-up. Long before there was any thought of Lon Chancy, Ivlein-Koggo surprised the world's audience. Cluick as lightning he changes from the dark .character of tho tyrant who walks over hum-in lives as if they were mere dust on the road from the ingenious plotter with nerves of steel to tho successful benevolent business man' thence to a 'faithful" secret service agent, and flnally to an utterly ridiculous clown in vaudc- !',!■■ .i ° nCle-^-. is hIS make-uP- so wonderful is the flexibility of his style of acting, tftat tho audience does not before tho very last scene of this great picture, becomo aware of the tact that behind the comical, and at times ugly, make-up of the clown, hides tho biggest crook and the worst criminal ever seen in our modern age. Box plans for the season open today at The Bristol and Aitken's
