Riftto, Sunday "Thundering Dawn"
In a mad rush of swirling waters,
the whole earth seemed to be doomed.
In its midst, a mai\ feebly struggled
for breath and safety, and a slim girl
struggled too, for the life of a wastrel
hardly worth the saving. In this catt
clysm of human emotions and ele
mental fury is enacted the most
dramatic scenes of adventurous love
ever shown on the screen. It is the
climax of "Thundering Dawn," the
super Jewel picture to be seen at the
Rialto theatre next Sunday for four
days, with J. Warren Kerrigan and
Anna Q. Nilsson in the leading roles.
The added attractions will be a Hall
rtoom comedy, and Rialto News.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday—**Scars
of Jealousy"
The sensational forest fire scenes
In "Scars of Jealousy," Thomas H.
Iftce's thrilling drama of the old and
new South, come at the climax of the
story when one of the "Cajan" hill
men has been arrested, charged with
the murder of a revenue officer.
His brothers, in revenge for his
arrest, set fire to the forest which
surrounds the cabin in which he is
being held. A mob which has ga
thered to lynch the hated hill man,
is called off by the crackling blaze
and the "Cajan," with the help of
a girl, makes his escape only to
discover that the fire has circled them
and that they are entrapped in a ring
of flames.
The added attraction will be Round
5, "Fighting Blood," and Rialto News.

It is the ambition of every woman
to marry and have at least one child,
but Ann Forest, the vivacious little
actress who is to appear in the role
of Lady Tybar in the William Fox
production, "If Winter Comes," has
an ambition that outdoes that. Miss
Forrest wants to marry and have at
least six childi'en. She said so her
self.
Before Miss Forrest sailed for Eng
land for the production of "If Win
ter Comes," she was asked what her
greatest ambition was. She replied:
"I want to marry and have at least
six children, then I would be happy.
I want something to fill a viu:ant
spot in my life."

NICHOLSON HERE
Well Known Member of
Machinists' International
Executive Board Visits
Local Officers
Charles T. Nicholson, member of
the executive board International
Association of Machinists, popularly
known to almost every local union
machinist, was in the city for a brief
visit last Friday. His purpose in vis
iting Hamilton was to confer with
Business Agent Ted Smith regarding
the nation-wide membership cam
paign now being waged by the ma
chinists.
Whilefhere Mr. Nicholson arranged
for a monster open meeting to be held
Saturday, December 8. The meeting
will be addressed by Nicholson, In
ternational General Secretary E.
Davison and others. Big meetings are
to be held in Cincinnati, December 5,
and Dayton, December 7.
Everywhere the machinists are wak
ing up to the necessity for organiza
tion—that a trade without organiza
tion is a trade not worth learning.
The local Machinists' Union has ar
ranged for open meetings to be held
each Saturday aftei-noon at the labor
temple at 2:30 o'clock.
CLERKS READY
FOMANQUET
What promises to be one of the
most delightful affairs ever given by
any one of the local trade unions is
the banquet to be held by the Retail
Clerks' Local Union on next Monday
night at the Elks' club. All arrange
ments are practically completed.
President Ray Wunderlich, to whom
credit is due for the affair, promises
several pleasing surprises. There
will be much music, song and oratory.
John Schwa'm, president of the Jewel
Photoplay Company, and an old-time
union man, will be the principal
speaker. Others will also make short
talks. When it comes to talkers, why
—that's a clerk's business to talk, and
hey have some of the city's best
orators right in their own ranks. The
only trouble is they have so many,
and all will want to be heard, includ
ing the gentler sex, that a time limit
will have to be placed in order that
those present will be able to get on
the job on time the next morning.
From all that can be learned there will
le a 100 per cent membership present.
The banquet will be preceded by
the regular monthly meeting during
which a large class of applicants will
!e initiated. The annual election of
officers will also take place at the
meeting. The election of officers usu
ally creates a "wild time" so* that
Monday night really promises a his
tory making night for Retail Clerks'
Union No. 119.
BLACKSMITHS UNITE
Rochester, N. Y.—Officers of the
International Brotherhood .of black
smiths have organized a local of black
smiths in this city. There are more
than 400 eligible members, and a cam
