It Is Never Too Late To Mend (1911 Film)
''It Is Never Too Late to Mend'' is an Australian feature-length silent film written and directed by W. J. Lincoln. It was based on a stage adaptation of the popular 1865 novel '' It Is Never Too Late to Mend: A Matter-of-Fact Romance'' by Charles Reade about the corrupt penal system in Australia. It was called "certainly one of the best pictures ever taken in Australia." The novel has been credited with exposing cruelties in the Australian prison system and having helped end the convict system. It is considered a lost film. It was filmed again in 1913 and in 1937 (the latter film being the definitive version starring Tod Slaughter as the evil squire). The film was made by the Tait family, who also made the first Australian feature film, ''The Story of the Kelly Gang''.

Daily Herald (Adelaide)
''The Herald'' was a weekly trade union magazine published in Adelaide, South Australia between 1894 and March 1910; for the first four years titled ''The Weekly Herald''. It was succeeded by ''The Daily Herald'', which ran from 7 March 1910 to 16 June 1924. History The 1890s was a period of intense industrial unrest in Australia: squatters and shippers, manufacturers, merchants and miners had all been doing very nicely in the 1880s with exports booming, but little seemed to the shearers, labourers and sailors to be "trickling down" to them. Then around 1885 demand slackened off and with falling prices, the employers felt the need to reduce their labour force, and cut the wages of those who remained. The Maritime Labour Council (MLC) was formed in Adelaide in 1886 and the following year raised a Maritime Strike Fund of £9,600, of which various workers' unions subscribed around half. When the United Trades and Labour Council of South Australia needed money to start a workers' ne ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
