Filming details
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.
