The Gentleman Bushranger

The Gentleman Bushranger is a 1921 Australian film melodrama from director Beaumont Smith. Bushranging films were banned at the time but Smith got around this by making the plot about a man falsely accused of being a bushranger.

Comic relief is provided by Ah Wom Bat John Cosgrove, a Chinese cook, and a touring theatrical company that presents a version of East Lynne in a country town.The segment showing the troupe performing East Lynne was likely taken from a short films directed by John Cosgrove, An East Lynne Fiasco 1917. ........
