GRAND THEATRE.
The Paramount Studios have drawn on France for a new star. They have engaged Miss Rauel Meller as the heroine in “The Oppressed,” one of their latest spectacular dramas, produced with the splendid machinery that has helped to make their pictures famous. It is being shown at the Grand Theatre. In this case, the Paramount Studios have an exceptionally good field of activity. Leaving this workaday age. they have gone back a few' hundred years to the time of Good Queen Bess in Merrie England. and have selected for the setting feenes in Belgium during the Spanish domination. The supporting picture ‘ Modern Mai rimony,” contrasts with “The Oppressed” in its theme, its setting, its date, its atmosphere, and everything else. Appropriate music is played hv the Grand Quality Orchestra.
