BAD SCARE IN THEATRE.
Plaster Failing at Proctor's almost
Puts Women an Panic.

An audience which crowded Proctor's One
hundred-and-tw enty-ffth Street Theatre yester-
day afternoon. composed mostly of women and
children, was thrown into incipient panic
through the falling Of quantity Of plaster into
the parquet. Through the GOODNESS OF Miss
Adelaide Keim. the leading woman. and the
work on the part of Captain Lawlor, Of Truck
IL next door, and Patrolman Farrell STAN
pede was averted. This is the theatre which
was on fire Friday night.
In the drops and lofts over the proscenium
arch and the roof Of the theatre several cleo
tricians were repairing wires damaged by the
fire. One OF them slipped. and his foot went
through the plaster. Quite hole was made,
and the plaster in small pieces fell into the
audience. Without waiting TO find the cause Of
the accident, women became badly frightened,
and few screamed. This frightened others IN
other parts Of the theatre. until women were
standing up all over the house. waiting for
some one TO make signal TO run. Miss Harriet
Haskell. of No. $50 East observation-disclosures
forty fourth-st., was struck by several small
pieces and was so badly frightened that she
tainted.
Miss Adelaide Keim. the leading woman of
the company, realized what was the cause of the
trouble at once. Stepping to the foot of the
stage, she assured the audience that there was
no danger, and pointed to the slight cause Of
the fright Captain LawlOr and Farrell ran into
the theatre They went among the more excited
women In the back part of the theatre and
talked to them and they were also quoted
