 In 1893 he married Dampier's daughter Lily, who played Aileen Marston in numerous productions of the play.The play was highly influential on bushranging drama as a genre, leading to a number of imitators such as Arnold Denham's "The Kelly Gang" (1899), which was likely the basis for the film "The Story of the Kelly Gang" (1906).It is likely the name of the story was changed from "Robbery Under Arms" to avoid confusion with the 1907 film version of the novel which was still playing in cinemas.
