NEW THEATER DECLARED
SAFEST IN THE WORLD

II is claimed by the architects that the
new Lincoln Square Theater, Broadway
and SiXty-fifth streets. New York city
Is the safest, from a FIRE standpoint, in
the world Everything that could be
done for the attainment OF this end
has been accomplished
A fire curtain. seven inches thick and
Weighing seven tons has been construct
ed OF angle iron, filed with petrifed
asbestos sheets. covered on both sides
by steel plates. II IS lowered and
raised by power, and has an automatic
device for lowering in case OF IRE. In
addition. the prOscenium arch Is pro-
teCted by a water curtain, consisting
OF a row OF automatic sprinlxlers under
minimum pressure of fifty pounds 70
the square inch.
Besides the automatic slxylights re
quired by law. Ventilators have been
provided. which are operated by damp
ers constructed 10 open automatically
should the temperature OF the stage rise
above 135 degrees Fahrenheit. This feat
ure is designed to relieve the theater

In connection with the automatic
sprinkler system. pressure tanks have
been provided as a primary source OF
water supply. These pressure tanks
give 10 each sprinkler head a minimum
pressure of fifty pounds 20 the square
inch.
In addition to the gravity tank (Which
contains 2o0O0 gallons) required by law
TO supply the standpipe and hose equip
ment, pressure tanks have been intro
duced connected with the standpipe and
