THE CURTAIN AFIRE
Exciting Episode at the Los Angeles
Theater

AT the matinee performance yesterday
at the Los Angeles theater an exciting in
cident occurred, which emphasizes the ex-
cellent management Of that place of amuse-
ment and the GOODNESS of the employees.
In the scene where the foyer of Covent
Garden theater in London Is represented, q
series of gas jets are used. One of these
happened to be bent out of place and the
flame from it was communicated to the
curtain. Ben Humbert, the property man,
had taken the precaution to watch the ga
jets closely, and as soon as he saw the
blaze beat it out with his hat. Bobby"
Burns. the drummer in the orchestra, and
another handsome athletic young fellow in
the auditorium also noticed the little blaze
and jumped on the stage to aid in ex-
tinguishing 1t, the latter beating out the
few flames left with his bare hands.
A hole about six inches wide and posi-
bly, a foot or more long was burned in the
curtain, but no other damage was done.
The audience was calm and no panic was
caused.

the company. the purchase by it Of the
cable roads and the construction of the
entire system Of electric lines, Is near
relative of one Of the general officers
Of the Southern Pacific, and through that
connection placed large quantity OF the
stock with officials Of the line. About two

the result would be a benefit to the city in
