STEEL DROP CURTAINS
THEY WILL BE ORDERED FOE
 MONTGOMERY THEATRES.
Fire Committee Inspected Two Play houses and Will Report to the City Council-Some Improve
 ments Suggested.

"Our report to the Council will probably recommend that the theatres Of Montgom- cry be provided at once with steel drop curtains
 This statement was made yesterday af- ternoon by Alderman J. J. Sullivan chairman of the Fire Committee, imme- diately after a thorough inspection Of the Montgomery Theatre and Mcdonald s Theatre.
 Alderman Sullivan was accompanied on his inspection trip by Alderman W. M. Teague and Alderman Charles A. Grif- filth, other members of the Fire Commit tee. and by Fire Chief John F. Browder.
 By appointment the committee was met at the Montgomery Theatre by Meyer l.. Greil one of the owners of the property, and by Sam Hirscher and Arthur Hirsch- CT, co-managers of the Theatre.
 The committee inspected every portion of the Theatre and was shown every courtesy by Messrs. Hrscher and MI Greil.
 der. then went to McDonald's Theatre. where they were met by Prof. George F. Mcdonald, manager and owner, and shown over the property.
 Alderman Sullivan discussed the inspec- tion reluctantly.
 "The committee" he said, will meet Saturday evening or Monday morning to frame a report embodying it's recommen- dations. which will be submitted to the City Council at its meeting Monday even- Meanwhile" MT. Sullivan continue( "I may discuss in general way only. what the committee will probably recom- mend. Steel drop curtains are necessity to protect the people and onr report will probably recommend one for each of the theatres. I have satisfied mystelf that asbestos curtains are not certain protec- tors against the ravages of fire.
 We found both theatres remarkably clean and free of infiammable material. The top gallery of the Montgomery Thea Ire is dangerously unsafes~and its use should be abandoned until contemplated improvements are made. There Is no ventilation whatever in that gallery and no means of escape except very narrow stairway. Windows and fire escapes must be provided. Also there must be fire es- | capes from the dress circle windows and fire escapes from the stage. One dressing | room will probably be torn out to make room for a fire escape from the stage. With the shed which runs around the second story of the Theatre. this part Of the house Is reasonably safe, but men must be stationed at the doors at all
 hours during a performance to throw them open in case of scare. McDonald's Theatre is in much better l condition than l expected to find'it The building is open from all sides. With one or two additional windows in the balcony and fire escapes leading from there to the alley, 1t will be safe enough" Mir Sullivan said that both MT. Greil and Professor Mcdonald assured him and the committee that they were ready tC make any Improvements in the playhouses suggested by the Council

40 cents. Eggs are again quoted at u

are willing to pay IS cents for all they
