On Christmas eve gas explosion oc-
Cured at the Liverpool England Amphi-
theatre. A local paper says:
The audience arose in alarm, the whole
dramatic company rushed in terror across
the stage, the theatre was filled with clouds
of white dust like smoke, and a panic
seized the assembly, everybody rushed to-
ward the door for time. The scene was
terrific. as everybody thought the place
was on fire. which was, indeed. the case !;
and as two hundred children were taking
part in the pantomime, their screams and
terror increased the confusion. The lessee,
Mr.. Leslie, made his voice heard above the
roar, shouting an assurance that there had
been an explosion of gas, but nobody was
hurt. Two bags, containing the COM
pressed gas for the lime light, had burst in
the flies, blowing three men some distance
with great force, knocking boards on actors
below, filling the house with dust, and set
ting fire to some scenic properties. The
men recovering extinguished the flames.
The performance was ultimately resumed
under difficulties.
