The sweat, the grime, the heartaches, the stifled ambitlona. the never-ending woea of labor these are the dominant notes of ' Destruction." a William Fox photoplay production starring Theda Bars, to be shown today at the Majes tic. This photoplay, which" was written by Nixola Daniels and directed by W. S. Davis, deals with the soul-consuming minencs of the workers exploited by a certain capitalist class. Ar l yet the production Is not depressing or AMA - The Tragic Temptress by her greedy desire for luxury and her everlasting vow to ruin men's lives brings ruination to thousands In the Great Wm. Fox Production ntl.canitnl In its tone, for it is light ened by subtle comedy touches, and it heralds the dawn of a greater spirit of conscientlouHness between employer and employe. The story has to do primarily with Ferdinands (Theda Bara): Charles Froment. prosperous millowner; Jack Froment, his son: Josine, wife of one of the millhands. Froment and Fer dlnande are members of a hunting party In the Adirondack. Ferdinande, a captivating young creature whose god is gold, perceives the millovcner's ad miration for her. By every wile within her power she lures him on until he makea open declaration of love. They are married and return to Froment's magnificent home. Jack Froment warns his father of Ferdinandc'a true character. The par ent refuses to believe the latter's as sertions. Ferdinande. who has over heard the conversation between Fro 'ment and Jack, sets out to discredit Jack In the eyes of his father. The son leaves home. In time Ferdinande's inroads upon the Froment fortune are such that the millowner frankly explains to Fer dinande his Inability to surmount such heavy outlays. She impresses upon Froment the advisability of a waere reduction. The millhands go on strike and the militia is called out. Jack reads in the newspapers of the trouble and hurries home. Jack mingles with the workers and alleviates their suf ferings. He befriend.", among others, Josine. wife of Dave, a drunken mill worker. Josine is taken to the Froment man sion and cared for as a result of Jack's intercession. Ferdinande send word to Dave that Josine is in the Froment household. Dave, misconstruing the reason for Joslne's presence there, at tacks Jack and nearly kills him. Fol lowing his act ho takes refuge In the mill works, to which plaoe he is pur sued by the infuriated strikers who have made friends with Jack. Dave fleos from the mill and seeks safety In the Froment home with Ferdinande. The strikers invade the premises, the Froment mansion accidentally catches on fire and Ferdinande and Dave per ish in the flames. Jack, who has suc ceeded to the ownership of the mills on his father's sudden death, settles amicably the labor troubles and ulti mately marries Josine. National. "The Primrose Path," the Universal's frank sex problem photodrama, has at tracted such attention that Manager Nobl", of the National, announced last nlnht that the sensational feature will continue today and perhapB until Thursday. This film is a picturization of Bayard Veiller's play of that name, and fea tures Gladys Hanson, former leading lady with K. H. Sothern. Veiller's central character is a wom an, who, speaking in the language of the title, lakes a few steps on the "primrose pah" in order that her hus band may not die of hunger and lack of medical attendance. Having pros pered by this supreme sacrifice. John, the husband, proceeds to get well. He becomes a popular painter of debu tantes, and little by little becomes more ashamed of his very plain wife. In time John becomes so enamored of one young lady that her father pro poses to Joan, the wife, that she recede in favor of his daughter. And then Joan tells him of her sacrifice. Her words are overheard by her husband, who at last awakes to her love and his own worthlessness. and so all is happy again. On Joan lies the picture's sympa thetic power. The author has placed her in a series of appealing situations that follow one another in rapid suc cession after she has made that self sacrificing step on the "primrose path." Gladys Hanson makes the most of this featured role, playing with a strong show of emotion in all her many scenes, Lawrence Martson directed the pic ture, working on a scenario by May B. Havey. Both the direction and scenario are adequate, while the settings are many times most gorgeous. The Pa risian cabaret scene, for instance, is very realistic In Its setting, and very daring in its character. For that mat ter, "The Primrose Path" is marked by unhesitating frankness from be ginning to end. There is nothlns vatue about it. Hal Forde is chief of the support a3 Ned, the husband. Helen, the other woman, is played by Wina Blake, while E. Cooper-Willie appears as Joan's father. Sunset. Hobart Bosworth, distinguished Broad way star, beloved idol of the screen and producer of the Universal Broad way feature productions. "Fatherhood," "Colorado." "A Little Brother of the Rich" and "The Scarlet Sin," is fea tured in "The White Scar." a rive-reel drama of the Canadian woods, at the Sunset today. Ulysses Davis, a former Vitagraph director, produced the play in tho Bear Lake mountains of California. The story is laid in the Hudson Bay country, and deals with love, romance and the ad ventures of Na-Ta-Wan-Gan, which is Indian for "The Great Trapper." In this character Mr. Bosworth is at his best.

Edward Phainwalil. general manager of the Peoples' Amuse ment Company, is the head of Oregon's biggest motion-picturo exhibiting enterprise, and thus, through his position as directing head of the organization, ranks as .the foremost exhibitor tn the huge territory. Mr. Shainwald has been gener al manager of the company since May, 1915, prior to that holding the office of treasurer. Ho left the banking business, in which he had been identified for 10 years in Idaho, to accept the treasuryship of the Teoples' Amusement Company soon after it was organized in 1910. This company, which at pres ent owns and operates the Peo ples and Pickford Theaters in Portland and the Arcade at La Grande and the Star at Medford. has paid In capital stock of $2S7. 000. with the majority of the shares held in Portland. The present officers of the organiza tion are: Max S. Hirsch, presi dent: Charles A. Malarkey, vice president; D. Soils Cohen, secre tary; and the directors Max S. Hirsch, C. A. Malarkey, Dr. Holt C. Wilson, M. Pallay. Fred H. Kothchild. D. Solis Cohen and Kdward Shainwald. The Portland activities of the company, which are prospering under the able management of Mr. Shainwald, include in its organization P. J. Lynn, manager of the Peoples Theater, and Louis B. Christ, manager of the Pick ford Theater. he Is seen on the trail or in the great birch canoes; at the trading post where dwells the factor's lovely daughter; down great rivers, deep in the forest fastnesses or fighting in hand-to-hand combat with a renegade French-Canadian on the edge of an abyss. There's more than the ordinary "punch" In the scores of thrilling situa tions in "The White Scar," and each and every one of them is set in the most marvelous outdoor surroundings ever used in a picture. Jane Novak. Anna Lehr, Frank Newburg, Norval McGregor and Ronald Bradbury play the principal roles in support of Mr. Bos worth. who enacts the part of Na-Ta-Wan-Gan. a white trader and trapper amoug the Indian tribes. The play tells a story of the Cana dian woods, the Hudson Bay trading posts: It introduces several tribes of native Indians, real hunters and trap pers, and In addition depicts a power ful drama of the wilds in wonderful, natural settings of primitive beauty. The action is of the tensest nature, and the whole seems like a real life reproduction. A
