A quarter of a million men and women, many of whom have only recently left their farms and plows and chickens and washtubs to take jobs in the textile mills, form the new labor army that has been re- cruited in the cotton belt.

RIALTO THEATER For the first time since Mary Pick- ford produced the iriginal “Tess of the Storm Country,” she took the opening scene of a picture on the tirst day of production in “Little An- nle Rooney,” now at the Rialte theater. There Is real “punch” in the open- ing scene and there is no let down in interest until the final shot. The initial scene shows Mary perched Santa Claus fashion, in the opening of a chimney surmounting a shed in New York's tenement dis- trict. A “gang” fight of considerable proportions is in progress among some children and Little Annie is |first i the role of innocent by- | stander—or rather by-sitter. As such |she is the recipient of a varied as- | sortment of bottles, stones and Irish confetti.
