GRAND THEATRE.
"Truly Great" is tho term which n!ost aptly describes the main attraction ai the Grand Theatre this week, "Seventh Heaven." The story i 3 simplicity i:self, and the characters are just those simplo types of everyday folic which Charles Dickens loved to portray. Here arß no impossible persona strutting through an impossible dratna. .N'o lavish scenes of splendour are dragged in to cover up weaknesses in the story.
Tho opening scenes oi tins poetic masterpiece are placed in the sewers of Paris! Here one Chico, "a very remarkable fellow" in his own estimation is lamenting the fact that ho cannot rise to tho position o: a street sweeper. .Fate, however, takes a. hand in the game, and Chico is responsible for saving tho life of a deserted wan" of the slums. Promotion from the underworld follows and Chico, an avowed atheist, decides to "give God another chance.''
