Shibata's ARMED ROBBERY

[Jasper Sharp]

I assume this is the film you are asking about Tom - but it wasn't Shibata
According to Richie: "Following Shibata's successful lead, others began
entering the [filmmaking] field. Amongst these was Shiro Asano, of the
Konishiroku Photographic Store. At the request of a Shimpa troupe that
desired publicity he filmed the climax of one of their current plays, Scene
of the Lightning Robber's Being Arrested (Inazuma Goto Hobaku no Ba). This
was shown in 1899, at the Tokyo Engi-za, a theatre which showed Shimpa by
day and foreign films by night" pg 26, Japanese Film: Art and Industry

Hope this is what you were looking for.
Jasper
