We present the light curve of Luminous Blue Variable candidate star GR290 (Romano's star) in M33. The photographic photometry was made in photographic plates taken in B band of the M33 galaxy and cover an eight year period, 1982 - 1990. Twenty five plates, separated in seven groups, have been used. CCD B magnitude of the star is also presented. The analysis of our data together with the Romano's magnitudes (1978) shows "normal" eruptions with amplitude of more than 1 mag and timescale of about 20 years and smaller oscillations with amplitude 0.5 mag and a period of about 320 days. This is a typical photometrical behavior for LBVs.
