down into the auditorium proper. In
their haste many fell, landing on those
beneath. Several were badly hurt in
this way.
The attaches of the theatre attempt

played and a member of the stock COM
pany danced. This had much effect in
quieting those nearest the stage.
The great crush occurred where the
steps come down from the gallery.
Here the two crowds met and were
packed into a space not large enduZ/
for half of them. The weaker we're

and ambulance in the city was soon
engaged in hauling the more seriously
wounded to the hospitals or lneir
