but in the forenoon other outside attractions
caused very small attendance. the afternoon there
was larger audience but when the English band was
opening the concert with the overture to Tampa"

huge clouds OF dust into the large open doors completely
filling the structure vivid flash of lightning and the
gas Jets the opera glass section under the rear balcony
gave the appearance OF flames the light shone through
thick Somebody present foolish enough TO
cry Fire ~ and the men and women present ran reck-
essy for the doors jumping the seats and guards
on either side. For about o minute there was
great confusion, and the police had hard work
TO curb tho more unruly Dan Godfrey, the
leader Of the English band had tho agacy TO appreci
ate the of the panic ana the presence Of mind TO
order his band TO play 1.-THE star-spangled Banner"
The sudden change from the overture 10 that popular
national air rearresed the attention Of the audience,
and they the members of the band playing IN
the most unconcerned manner possible they became
convinced that the fire a hoax and speedily grew
quiet The rain nterered somewhat with their COM
