“THE SHADOW OF LIGHTNING RIDGE.”

At the Royul Theatre t"-morrow night the great Australian masterpiece, ‘‘The Shadow of Lightning Ridge,” will be shown. Snowy Baker, well known as a stunt star supreme, will take the leading role. When the Shadow found the girl he wanted, he just took her. In her hour of despair the Shadow, a lonely, bitter man for whom life had lost its 'savour, came into her life and took her,from it all. This man, ranting at law, stole her from his enemy as lie bad stolen everything else. He laid open before her the startling, burning record of his deeds —and, in spite of all, she loved him. Then, to satisfy her honour, he went out among his enemies, and fought for her the greatest allin scrap ever filmed. And, having fought and won, the Shadow gave his vanquished enemy the substance — * himself. That’s not all; there’s climax after climax, thrill from end to end of this everlasting triumph of Australian screeneraft: —the thrill of crashing* fists, the thrill of thundering hoofs, of daring feats, the thrill of a life-story of the most mysterious character that ever lived, enacted in the mighty outdoor of Australia.
