NIGHTS
NIXON FEATURE

The sweat, the CRIME, the heart
aches, the stifed ambitions, the never
ending woes of labor. These are the
dominant notes of Destruction" a
William Fox photoplay production
starring Theda Bara which will be the
feature Offering at the Nixon tonight
OF all the sermons preached by cler-
gymen, of all TRADES launched by agi-
tators, none more graphically sets
forth the underpayment of labor, and
none suggests saner remedial meas
ures therefore than Destruction"
This photoplay, which was written
by Nixola Daniels and directed by w.
| s. Davis, deals with the soul-consum-
ing miseries of the workers exploited
by certain capitalist class. And yet
the production is not depressing or
anti-capital in its tone, for it is light
ened by subtle comedy touches and
it heralds the dawn of greater spirit
Of consciousness between employer
and employe.
Destruction" is an educational pho
toplay; educational from the artisans
viewpoint as well as from that of the
student of economies. We're it not for
the dramatic story woven throughout
its many scenes, it might pass for one
i of the greatest industrial films, for
much of it's action takes place in one
of the largest steel mills in the coun-
try. The blending of the industrial
and the narrative sides of the picture,
however, is exceptionally well done
and neither suffers thereby.
Destruction" with Theda Bara,
strikes at labor's underpayment, and
is a drama of present day life that
deals with a woman whose love of
luxury, gratifed. plunges thousands
Of workingmen's families into direst
poverty and suffering.
A cast of unusual prominence is
seen in the photoplay. Besides Miss
Theda Bara, who is starred as Ferdi-
hande and who has achieved many
personal triumphs ON the screen, the
players include Carlton Macy, James
/ Furey, CASTOR Bell. Esther H. Hoier,
Warner GLAND, Herbert Frank, Frank
Evans, Arthur Morrison and others.
The Triangle program next Friday
might will be Jane Grey and Tully
Marshall in LET Katy Do It." Also
on this program Sam Bernard and the
Keystone players will be presented in
The Great Pearl Tangle."

Goldfeld, New, July 4, 1916.

Goldfeld, New, July 4, 1916.
Mr.. Samuel Platt, Reno, New.
Dear Mr.. Platt: | am in receipt of
your letter of June 29th, and in reply
| wish to say that, contrary to the
opinion implied in your suggestion, /
have full confidence that the dele
gates provided by law to be elected
by the people under the Australian
ballot system will honestly and in
good faith carry out the will of the
people. / personally favor simple,
direct primary law. The present pri-
mary law is admittedly complex. The
adoption of your suggestion would
needlessly complicate it further and
entail an unnecessary expense and
great additional labor upon both can
didates and election boards. | cannot
see why we, the candidates for one
particular office, should further COM
plicate the matter by asking for a
special rule which. If granted to us,
could not be denied to candidates for
any other office and which the law
does not recognize. The application
to all contests of the rule you suggest
would add complexity to the law to
the point of chaos. The Republican
voters of the State would probably be
quite interested to ascertain why you
seem to hold the opinion that your
candidacy will not receive fair con-
sideration at the hands of the dele
gates who are themselves directly
elected by the people. I realize the
necessity of following the nominating
procedure as laid down in the exist
ing law, and, therefore, cannot adopt
your suggestion.
Sincerely yours,
A. H. HOWE.
