OPERA HOUSE, TO-NIGHT

“THE DANGEROUS MAID.”

“The Dangerous Maid” is being shown at the Opera Ronse to-night and to-morrow (Saturday). In this picture Miss. Constance Talmadge essays her first- big dramatic role. Her latest production proves conclusively that Constance Talmadge is both "a comedienne and a dramatic artist of the first rank, f There are touches of the old whimsical, madcap Constance in “The Dangerous Maid,” but there are long sequences in which Constance, rivals her famous sister, Norma, in the delineation of the many tense situations. Miss Talmadge is a delightfully charming figure as a young cavalier. She trained long with the rapier for her sword fights, and her admirers will find her irresistible. An excellent supporting programme will be presented. i
