AMUSEMENTS.

- E. J. CARROLL’S ENTERPRISES

On Monday night at the Princess Theatre E. J. Carroll will present Snowy Baker in his greatest and latest Australian picture, “The Shadow of Lightning Ridge.’.’ “There is nothing new under the sun” and this applies to motion pictures particularly, but Snowy performs feats as “The Shadow” that have never beep seen in any photoplay lie fore. An incident that will live long in the memory in his jump on horseback from a cliff sheer through the roof of a hut forty feet below. The sensationalism of the jump is enhanced bv the very dramatic reasons for the Shadow taking the plunge. There are other thrillers of equal calibre throughout this fast moving story of a good man’s fall from graeo and bis ultimate regeneration. “The Shadow of Lightning Ridge” is rich in romance and native humour, and, above all, the story grips , with its own strength. It is something j more than a vehicle for the great Snowy Baker prowess. “Lightning Ridge” is f a wonderful drama and enacted as it t is in the great open spaces of Australia, it. is brimful of action, atmosphere and character. Mr Wilford Lucas directed, and Miss Brownie Vernon and Miss Berenice Vere, the young Australian who- has so suddenly stepped into the ranks of the film stars,-are in the cast. Prices of admission are 2s.ld and Is Id. Seats may be reserved at Misses Mc--1 ntosh’s.
