THE GRAND
“DON JUAN” Having had a very successful run at the Majestic Theatre, "Don Juan" has been transferred to the Grand Theatre, where it will be featured for a week commencing to-morrow. The story at
the outset shows little Don Juan, inculcated with a hatred of women by his father, who had found his wife to be false to him. The years pass and the love affairs of Don Juan, now grown to man’s estate, become notorious in Rome, where the Borgias are reigning. Lucretia Borgia, famous in history casts a favourable eye on the handsome young Spaniard and is incensed when he spurns her for another. When he discovers that this other is a sweet and innocent girl, his whole outlook on life changes and sincere love is bred within him. When the Borgias force the girl of his choice to marry a man of their own selection in order to save her father from death, he abducts her at the altar and then challenges the groom to combat. A sword and dagger fight follows and Don Juan finally worsts his opponent. He is thrown into a dungeon beneath the Tiber, but he makes a thrilling escape in time to rescue the girl from fiendish torture.
