UNIONS ARE
UNIQU + IN
WORLDS HISTORY
1From the Austfalian Workerl


In the whole range of history no
organization ever attained to endur-
ing influence and power In the affair
of men with the sensational rapidity
of the trade union movement.
When the days in which we live
can be surveyed from the distance OF
a century or so. this fact will detach
itself from a chaos of events, and
stand out with a vivid distinctness.
A most amazing phenomenon II
will appear. For trade unionism
gained its eminent place in modern
life without any advantages which
might serve to explain its success.
1t was not adopted by the auto
cratic monarch in furthefanee Of his
own authority.
The trade union movement was not
patronized by powerful rulers. IT
did not have the sanction of super
natural origin.
Truly astounding progress, when
it is borne in mind that little more
than half a century ago the trade
union was an unlawful association,
and its members subject to drastic
penalties as conspirators against the
community.
A wonderful destiny awaits the
working class. II only they knew 1t
and would speed the day.

THE SEA HAWK
BEGINNING
SUNDAY

1.-THE Sea Hawk" as great
single achievement as picture an
nails record, will be presented for
the first time in Washington at
CrandalIs Metropolitan, beginning
next Sunday afternoon at 3, at the
lowest scale Of prices ever
charged for a first-run engege-
ment of this remarkable subject.
Doors win be thrown open to the
public at 2 o'clock. In all other
cities where ''The Sea Hawk"
has been shown, it has been pre-
sented in the road show theaters
at prices ranging up to $1.65 and
$500 q seat. It will be shown at
the Metropolitan as a further
earnest of Harry M. Crandall's in
sistence that the best pictures be
shown. in picture houses.
1.-THE Sea Hawk" IL a mammoth
perturbation Of Rafael Sabatini's
tale Of romantic adventure bearing
the same name and was directed
by Frank Lloyd for First Ma
tional with a cast Of extraordi-
nary brilliane in the principal
roles. The narrative concerns the
experiences of an English gen.
tleman who, through an odd
twist Of Fate, was first made a
galley slave and then became
"the hawk Of the sea-" scourge
of the Spanish main and terror
Of all Christendom. The events
bringing about so strange meta
morphosis in the nature of q
man who temporarily abandoned
both his religion and his race and
became a leader of infideI hordes
are visualized with mighty
sweep that Is staggering. Huge
galleons, cared by sweating slaves
chained to their benches, engage
in terrific battles; whole fleets
are sacked and the loot returned
to enrich the Basha OF Algiers; a
raid is made on village In
Cornwall, England, and the beau
tiful RosamuNd Godolphin Is kid
mapped, taken to the stronghold
of the Moors and sold on the
auction block. Tressilian's craven
brother is taken at the same time
and given taste Of the galley
such as his perfldy brought to
his elder benefactor. Then is
built a situation that possesses
every quality OF intensely inter.
esting, original and unhackneyed
entertainment.
