QUEEN’S THEATRE.

“The Rose Rouge,' a romantic love romance, was responsible ror drawing the crowds to Queen’s Theatre the past tew days. Superbly mounted and staged, the acting was of an equally high order, and told a powerful story of the fatal fascination of a beautiful woman. Marise, the heroine, is loved by two men, and while the three on adventure bent, are visiting a notorious restaurant in Montmartre, she falls in love with the King of the Apaches. A duel subsequently ensues between the two former men arising out of love of Marise and one is mortally wounded. The Apache takes the blame to save the girl’s honour and is arrested. The various exciting incidents were portrayed with admirable clearness, and every move in the game of love was watched with tense interest. “Bob’s Redemption,” “Scenes in the Tyrol,” and “A Day’s Shooting,” were included in a budget of star films and met with unbounded! applause. The incidental music adds materially to the enjoyment. A feature of the programmes (two a week) is the variety, the subjects covering a wide range.
