ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. “ROBBERY UNDER ARMS,” TO-NIGHT AND TO-MORROW NIGHT. Captain Starlight, outcast and gentleman, immortal hero of Australia’s bush lore, now lives again in a startling and vivid picture of Australia’s best loved romance. “Robbery .Under Arms” has been read by two generations. Kenneth Brampton saw wonderful possibilities in it as a picture, and has produced a powerful photoplay from it. The picture teems with excitement from start to finish. The coach robbery, the duffing of over 1000 head of cattle, the Turon Gold rush, the breaking of the wild horses, the great expanse of bush and Captain Starlight’s last stand, are a few of the incidents that make up one .of the most enthralling photo-dramas of Australia that has ever been presented in this country. It will be shown at Theatre to-night and to-mor-row night. Supporting pictures include the six-reel feature of the West,, “Barefisted Gallagher,” starring popular Bill Desmond. Seats for either night can now be reserved at Collier’s.
