urday afternoon matinee st. Patrick's
Eve, Saturday night Sapho. Monday
night during the performance n Of the
foot lights was a~ccidently kicked OF the
stage and broken, the oil ignighted and
started quite a blaze, but it was stan
dard oil and did not burn very fast.
Mr.. Mobiles jumped from the stage and
with his overcoat whipped out the fire,
proving himself a good fireman as well
as actor. 1t at first looked as IL there
would be a panic in in the audience, but
Mr.. Mobiles prompt action treasured
the crowd and no one left the house
until the performance was finished.
Mr.. Mobiles deserved and received con
siderable praise for his GOODNESS and
prompt action in putting out the fire.
