AUDIENCE ERvOUs
Smoke on Stage But No Fire-Panic
 Ayerted.

Smoke on Stage But No Fire-Panic
 Ayerted.
 Bridgeport, Oct 24.-What might easily have been a panic in the big au. dience at Polls theater last evening was ayerted through the presence Of mind of the stage hands and the ac. tivity of the other well drilled at. taches of the house, when a cloud of smoke drifted rp from the footlights leading many to believe that the stage was smouldering and ready to burst into flames.
 George c. Davies, the monologist, was in the midst of his act, few minutes after 9 o'clock, when the incl. dent, for such it proved to be, occurred. thin string of smoke first appeared near the footlights directly in front of the monologist, who occupied the cen ter of the stage. The smoke appeared to issue from beneath the stage. Soon 1t rolled up in thin lines and was lost in the air before it reached a height of two feet. Davies was the first to no. tee the smoke, apparently, for he turned without interrupting his conVer. sation and attracted the notice of q stage hand in the wings, who had not detected the smoke, so minute was it when Davies spotted it.
 The stage hand rushed across be- hind the scenes to the stage manager, who in turn hurried below the stage to find out what was doing. There was no trace of blaze from under the stage, although a complete examina- ton was made. The smoke kept in- creasing, however, and soon was yisi- ble from the entrance into the play house, where attaches saw it and quietly but quickly hurried behind the scenes to be assured that if there was any fire at all it was very trivial. By this time there was visible shifting about among the audience, and three women, fearing panic, started from near the stage to go to the rear of the house. Davies kept on with his funny story and, in fact, took step toward the footlights to keep the audience calm. h less than two minutes the smoke had disappeared. Before that time, however, the ushers were posted near the fire exits and all was made ready in case there should be a stam- pede for the doors. This calamity, however, was fortunately averted.
 After the performance was con cluded it was found that the smoke re- suited from short circuit through a piece of newly vanished metal along the footlights. The varnish burning from the metal caused the smoke. The damage was slight A blaze could not have started as the section where the smoke occurred is perfectly fire proof.
 The audience behaved admirably and the attaches of the playhouse were ready for the emergency in less than ten seconds after the smoke first ap- peared.
