AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODYS PICTURES.

“ROBBERY UNDER ARMS” TO-NIGHT ! “HANDS UP!” “HANDS UPJ” What a wealtli of sinister meaning those two little words carried to the hush-dwellers in the days of Starlight and his gang. And here’s a real Australian picture that transports you hack to the country’s era of lawlev ness and stirring adventure. Rolf Buhlrowocd’s novel, presented in a new and even more fascinating guise. “Robbery Under Arms!” to he presented at the Princess Theatre tonight, “Turn back ! Don’t follow me ! Don’t place your young lives in jeopardy !’’ “Why don’t you take your own advice? Isn’t your own life worth saving. Starlight?” asked Dick Marston. “No,” replied the bushranger. “My life is like that last coin in the gambler’s purse. Tl must he thrown on the table with the rest.”

“Too late! Too late! the police are here!” and as he spoke Marston leapt for safety. Rolf Boldrcwood’s best loved Australian romance, “Robbery Under Arms” featuring Kenneth Brampton, Tien Hogue and a great cast of Australia’s best players. “Hands up in the name of the Queen !’’—and Starlight, gentleman by nature, bushranger by circumstances, faced the arm of the law—yes—even death, with a laugh on his lips an' scorn in hi.s eyes. A story of wild expanses, of daring men who lived for adventure, and died in the gaining of it.

On Friday Zane Grey’s “Border Legion” will he shown; Saturday. Reginald Denny in “Oh! Doctor.”
