That Theater Ordinance,

II that ordinance for the prevention Of
disasters at places of entertainment
were made to apply to amateur shows
instead of our regular theaters it would
come nearer meeting the necessities Of
the case.
Our regular theaters are in the hands
of careful, efficient and experien ced
men, who know how to manage crowd,
what number their houses will safely
hold, and what to do in any emergency
that can arise. On great occasions tn ey
make great preparations, and IL Is safe
to say that had the management been in
the hands of Uncle John Robinson, or
any other experienced person, with an
experienced force in attendance, no cry
or excitement could have caused the
disaster of last Saturday. Above all,
| the regular managers have the reputa-
tion of their houses at stake, which does
| more to make them exercise care than
all the laws that can be passed.
What is needed Is such regulations as
| will secure greater safety to the public
at entertainments managed by inexpe.
rienced persons. We cast no reflection
on the managers of the Allegory last
Saturday. They did as well as could
| have been done by men not trained tC
the business, but managing place o.
amusement, like any other pursuit, re.
| quires experience, and the danger is In
| entertainments in the hands of mer
who have not had this advantage, and il
is against this that the people need pro
| lection.
