place Of Amusement Turned Into :
charnel House During Holl.
day Performance.

Five hundred and e,ghty.two are
dead as the result of the fire which
gutted the lroquols theater last
Wednesday afternoon. throwing 1900
men, women and children in a mad.
dened, crazed. fighting panic. while the
matinee performance was in progress.
The fire broke out during the Sec
ond act of the play "Mr. Bluebeard, -

the theater since its erection The
company. which was very large. es-
capped 70 the street IN safety, nearly
all of them. however. being compelled
TO fee into the snowy streets with no
clothing but their stage costumes. A
few members of the company sus-
tanned minor injuries. but none were
seriously hurt
The accounts of the origin of the
fire are conflicting. but the best rea.
son given Is that an electric wire
near the lower part of a piece of drop
scenery suddenly broke and was
grounded. The fire spread rapidly to.
ward the front of the stage, causing
the members of the chorus who were
then engaged in the performance to
fee to the wings with screams OF
terror.

was not serious and possibly could
have been checked had not the ashes

to death where they sat.
Immediately following this rush of
flames there came an explosion which
lifted the entire roof of the theater
from its walls. shattering the great
skylight into fragments.
As soon as the flames first appeared
beyond the curtain a man in the rear
of the hall shouted Fire fire." and
the entire audience rose as one person
and made for the doors. It Is be-
lieved that the explosion was caused
by the flames coming in contact with
the gas reservoirs of the theater,
causing them to burst.
Firemen found numbers of people
sitting in their seats, their faces di.
rected toward the stage as ii the per.
formance was still going on. 1t was
the opinion of the firemen that these
people had been suffocated at once
by the flow of gas which came from
