BURNS-JOHNSON PICTURES

There was a. fairly large audience at the .Theatre Royal last evening to witness the kinemaiograph pictures of thej Burns- John son contest^ for the heavyweight boxing championship of the world, which took place at the Stadium, Sydney, on Boxing Day. .The films were remarkably clear and flickerless, arid every incident in the fourteen rounds of the fight was faithfully portrayed. The films showing _the training methods of the champions were also excellent. A very fine film entitled "The Marvellous Italian Cavalry" was shown as a "curtain-raiser" to the star picture. The company leave for the West Coast by this morning's steamer.
