Destruction (film)

Destruction is a 1915 American silent drama film directed by Will S. Davis and starring Theda Bara.

[2] Fernande, a greedy woman, marries a rich old man who is expected to die soon, in order to inherit his money.

Per a period newspaper: "During the making of the riot scenes in "Destruction," a labor drama, two cameramen's assistants and a score of actors and bystanders were injured when three companies of state militia and a troop of cavalry charged the crowds.

As a result, when the representatives of law and order charged into the foreground, instead of swinging by the battalion of cameras they swept straight into them.

Those most seriously injured were "Banty" R. Tuttle, an actor, and J. Lud Houston and Feeley P. Royce, cameramen's assistants.
