the performance and end in disaster.
II was during the trial scene and the
fair Portia was conducting the case
against Shylock when all at once the
most terrible commotion was raised In
the garret over the auditorium. Actors,

cavern next to the roof. and whether
it was caused by fire or a falling in of
the roof was uncertain.
