Sons, will inaugurate a short picture drama season, the. first to be presented being a new version of the exploits of the gang, of which a city daily said:— "The- theatre was invaded by a huge audience to see the latest novelty in the amusement world.- The house was crowded in every part, and numbers- of people were turned away. Opening with Fitzpatrick's insult to Kate Kelly, and his being shot down by her brother Dan, there follows the taking to the bush of the brothers, together with Byrne and Hart, Nora Creegan's forced betrayal of Ned, her death and her lover's^'Escape, the party's oath of vengeance, attack on th's police camp, sticking up of the Eurpa and Jerilderie banks, bailing-up of the police, Kate Kelly's great ride-when she outwits the police,—in fact every true incident up till the capture of the leader of the gang—the notorious Ned Kelly. There a-o throughout the story a number of thrilling events of pursuit and escape, and plenty of shooting, which keep the interest of the spectators held closely throughout." Despite the great cost of this attraction, popular prices, with ladies' and children's concessions, will"-be-'-adhered to. The 'bos plan is at Miss Rive's.
