"ROBBERY UNDER ARMS."

Thus a contemporary of Edmund Montgomery's latest enterprise: — " 'Robbery Under Arms'ls the greatest purely Australian novel, and emphatically the sanest and the sweetest. In selecting this novel for bioscope representation, Edmund Montgomery has, therefore, done very well. But his manner of giving effect to that wise selection 'has been at all points excellent. This 'Robbery Under Arms' series of pictures is positively the best Australian, series ever presented ta(the<publio:' The story lives on the films.' , The characters are instinct with vitality, and do not posture and grimace; .as ■ mer» marionettes. Apart from this series Edmund , Montgomery has an exqeHeht picture show. The films shown in .the first part are the dernier cri of cinematography. Nothing previously exhibited' in New Zealand can compare with them. Not only are the pictures themseltlß intensely and mysteriously clever, but the coloring is superb and superbly natural. Other features of the show are of a delightfully diversified character. It is.* show to see, and, seeing, to remember with delight." The box plan is now open.
