observed in the fourth row OF seats 1

of smoke at that point. An usher went
down the aisle and quietly asked the
people to be seated, saying there was
nothing wrong. Mr.. Sothern at TINS

and also assured the audience that eV-
erything was right. To further remove
apprehension Mr.. Sothern resumed ms

lines the smoke issued in such vol
umes that there was a spontaneous
